Get Grounded

Dancers know that you are not getting anything one or going anywhere if you aren’t paying attention to your feet.  For most people, circus acts and Cirqe not withstanding, our feet are the way we get around in the world.  They support us, they motivate us, and they allow us to wear beautiful shoes.…Details

Sleep

Sleep is a magic thing that I don’t think we have enough gratitude for.  Our bodies use the time we are sleeping to do major processing.  We replenish our tissues, soothe our nervous system, manufacture new fluids and chemicals in order to recharge our organs, focus on healing areas that have become damaged such as skin or muscle and so much more. …Details

Persistence

It’s difficult to wait for what you want.  We’re taught that with enough money you can get anything you want right now.  No why pay attention to anything for any length of time?  And more is better, right?  Well all of that applies to commodities or things, but the world is not just commodities and things that you can buy. …Details

Limitations

It’s always surprising to me that with all the physical limitations there are are in the world, geography, time, resources, that what hampers us most often is the limits we have in our own minds.  How often have you heard someone grip about not being able to do something or get something and when you try to help by offering them suggestions on how to do it, they say “Oh no, I can’t, because….”…Details

Eyes in the back of your head

I have a friend with an ever surprising way of looking at the world.  She’s a visual thinker and she sees everything in 3-d in a way most people don’t.  She doesn’t live in the past or really the future, she is all about the ‘now’ and how things work, how they interact, and how people interact with everything. …Details

Rough night?

You know, it’s been a long time since I had a truly late night.  Mostly that happens when I have to travel.  Have to be there at a certain time, need to get back so I arrive late at night and slog home, happy to flop into bed exhausted. …Details

Going it alone

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I have friends that have long-term relationships and they are enamored of the single life where they could do anything they want at any time.  Even though they are happy in relationships they want more freedom. …Details
