Hello beautiful, Though the official start of spring is still a few weeks away here in Cologne, I have spotted the first early blooms--snowbells and crocuses--and one can begin to feel the Sun's warmth when it shines. Very welcome developments! Now the election has passed in Germany, Koeln Karnival is in full swing and folks are also preparing for Ramadan, and I am publishing my email newsletter a little early this week so I can jump into the festivities as well. Today is "Weiberfastnacht," traditionally a celebration for women (apropos of today's video and next week's IWD events), and early this morning I already saw someone walking by in a Pikachu costume :) Eating Disorders Awareness Week continues, and though ballet classes are cancelled today and Monday, otherwise I've been dancing and teaching up a storm and will carry on in the coming weeks. I've got several new articles queued up, this week's being an overview of my intentions and declared actions for the year, which are already in-progress: My other creations, recommendations, and questions for you are: Viewing:

Hello beautiful, Whether you are in a romantic place in life or not, I hope you feel loved in so many ways! I've missed you and feel we have much to catch up on. Self-love, friendship old and new, mentorship, family and chosen family love, I believe it is the most important thing, so it touched my heart to hear the resounding message in Bad Bunny's Superbowl 60 halftime show, among other powerful stories it told. "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." - Bad Bunny Happy Year of the...
Hello beautiful, Happy New Year! I hope you are having a mellow and fulfilling transition into 2026. For me it has been a slow and gentle liminal period of rest, reflection, celebration, starting to plan the year ahead but honoring the rhythms of my personal year, with no hard deadlines. I do like to set intentions and plan events each New Year, but take my time in doing so. Teaching online, in-studio and school, sharing resources on YouTube, articles on the blog, as well as on Social Media...
Hello beautiful, I'll keep it short and sweet in this, my last email newsletter of the year.
