July gems, Cologne CSD, Quarter 3 came in HOT!

Hello beautiful, In May, we had one more week of work and play on the Big Island, several days of travel back to Cologne, then jumped jetlagged back into teaching, coaching, publishing and celebrating there! Since June was jammed with juicy end-of-year work and celebrations, PRIDE Month and birthday fun, I'm now wrapping up reflections on May (this week's video and article), June & Quarter 2 (in process), even as summer fully hits. Hit it did this week, bringing high temperatures to Cologne such that some schools cancelled classes and we had to pull out all the stops to stay cool in the unaccustomed temperatures. Lots of water, iced coffee, iced cream, and not too much movement on the hottest days! Two family members also successfully made it through critical medical procedures, so grateful for their capable care teams. Now it has cooled down to a more humane degree in order to celebrate Cologne CSD/Pride this weekend...

Hello beautiful, Dance and yoga classes have been hot and sweaty recently, it must be summer! It is a great season for strength and mobility gains, and to build a consistent stretching habit to support your athletic and artistic goals and feel good. I still vividly remember the moment I first got my 2nd/middle split and could "roll through!" Though not unusually stiff, I am also not naturally extremely flexible in all ways. Hypermobile in some joints and movements, I've had to work for others...
Hello beautiful, I might not want a life on the open sea myself, but I was raised on pirate stories and appreciate the ethos of freedom, treasure, and adventure. What better time to embark on a fantastical journey of imagination than summer? If you've been around, you will know I revel in a seasonal mood board, bullet journal spread, or bucket-list type reminder of what I'm up to, goals to do, be, and feel. If you're new here, welcome to this flight of fancy, designed to inspire, and keep...
Hello beautiful, It was very special for us to be able to celebrate Cologne CSD/Pride last weekend, and I'm so glad to hear that this huge multi-day demonstration went off without major incident thank you to organizers, participants, and police. Ela and I made it out for at least a little bit each day, saw many friends and important messages, with my personal highlight of the gorgeous diversity and acceptance of Dyke March on Saturday. I really struggled to get out on Sunday in the rain for...
