Sweet Summer Poems, slowly shifting to an Early Autumn mood, less frequent email newsletters?

Hello beautiful, School began again in Nordrhein-Westfalen last week, and next week elective classes will begin, I expect folks to be back to the studio in force, and the colorful leaves will fall more and more. It thrills my heart to see beloved students return, their faces alight with excitement about what we'll learn together this year! As I've decided to take on an additional teaching commitment this season (ballet errrrrrryday!), I'm considering how to continue to reach as many as possible and provide value without burning out. What do you think about a monthly email newsletter as a sort of digest of what I've been up to and sharing? Would like to continue with approximately weekly video and article publishing if I can manage it, will provide updates as appropriate and always open to your feedback about what you most enjoy or benefit from. Meanwhile, this week was a mix of back-to-school experiences and late-summer languidness, I've been prepping for each new course to begin and noticing the still-warm breezes every chance I get: Read the Summer Verses to Swoon for – Poetic Seasonal Inspiration article here My other creations, recommendations, and questions for you are: Listening:

Hello beautiful, Now that Halloween and All Saint's Day have passed, we still celebrate cherished traditions and think of our beloved dead as the Holidays approach, with the full Beaver Moon on the 5th (according to the BBC, "The second of three consecutive supermoons of 2025 will coincide with Bonfire Night on Wednesday... 5 November. It will be the largest and brightest Moon this year."), Transgender Day of Remembrance on the 20th, and American Thanksgiving on the 27th. Of particular...
Hello beautiful, Happy October, "Spooky Season," and the beginning of Quarter 4, bringing even more colorful leaves to Cologne and ballet dancing and teaching into my schedule! Though Germany celebrates their Unity Day, der Tag der Deutschen Einheit, this Friday the 3rd, I will still be dancing online and in-studio that day. There are many other holidays and remembrance observations in October, such as World Mental Health Day on the 10th, National Coming Out Day on the 11th, and Halloween on...
Hello beautiful, Happy almost Rosh Hashana to my Jewish beloveds, Autumn Equinox and season's transition to all. The people have spoken, and at least until the end of the year I am reducing to an approximately-monthly "digest" format email newsletter. Previously I've sent weekly love notes, but as teaching load increases this semester, I've decided to reshuffle priorities so that I'm able to show up with energy and presence (and hopefully prevent burnout and illness). Will be doing my best to...
