Koeln Karneval, Twenty 25s in 2025, promoting human rights for International Women's Day
|
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, Hope you had a peaceful World Tai Chi/Qigong Day, freely moving International Dance Day as well as the other events of April. After a full year away, I made it back to Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i and I'm so happy and fortunate to be able to spend time at home with my parents as well as have some time by the sea and adventures with Ela. For the next couple of weeks I'll be less connected online but still occasionally present and publishing, focusing on being here, celebrating my...
Happy International Women's Day & History Month! Seasonal transformation, spring fever, time changes
Hello beautiful, Happy March and almost-spring in the northern hemisphere! Since my last update, crocuses, snowbells, and daffodils have popped up and the days have gotten noticeably longer, lighter, and warmer here in Cologne. And I have seemingly caught every nasty virus (flu, stomach flu, COVID) currently going around here, putting a damper on my pre-spring plans. . Taking part in Eating Disorders Awareness Week again was awesome and another of my favorite events to collaborate on each...
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...
