Hello beautiful, 2024 quantum leaps in store into creativity joy + love galore! That’s the poem I shared when I declared my Word of the Year and practices to make it so. Now how did it go? Negativity bias is real, and I well remember the challenges and struggles I faced last year. Thankfully, I take fuller and more objective stock of my declarations and results for the year as well as the events, highlights and accomplishments I have recorded along the way. In the end, I saw growth all over and for that I am very grateful! On top of that, I'm grateful to finally be complete with my annual review process, moving on to share my 2025 Word of the Year in a video below, with that topic and new projects coming next: Read my Leaps and Bounds in 2024 - Reflecting on a Year's Highs & Lows blog article here My other creations, recommendations, and questions for you are: Viewing:

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...
