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 gentle person, I am thankful to have you here. That is true every day, and it also enriches my life to acknowledge my blessings and the beautiful folks who love and support me at harvest time, going into November and a reflective Holiday Season. We have had our "Fall Back" Autumn time change from CEST to CET in Germany, and next week will return to school from a 2-week Fall break, though my offerings in other settings--in studios and online--have continued at a clip throughout October....
Hello gentle person, Boo, it's October! Colorful leaves and seasonal changes subtle and dramatic are all around in Cologne. Unfortunately this includes some nasty viruses in which, with the changeable weather and exposure to many students, I am partaking. Doing my best to recover for an exciting and productive month, and wishing you health, both physical and mental at this transitional time. Cat-o-ber in my journal School started in Nordrhein Westfalen, I've begun my elective classes for the...
Hello gentle person, Happy almost-September! Since my last message we have been enjoying warm weather in Cologne, and meanwhile my parents weathered Hurricane Lala in Hawai'i! They came through ok, though other areas were devastated by flooding. I've been dancing every day this month, with my own in-studio and online classes continuing as well as covering classes for colleagues taking vacation. Still had a bit more leisure time than I will soon, to explore some of the hobbies and activities...
