One More Thing, a walk…

Hey, in this beautiful winter chillness, take a walk outside, go to the park or the woods, and look around. Give yourself that gift, some time to just walk, and be with yourself. How does it make you feel? Where do you get your inspiration?

"I went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in."

– John Muir.

and does it make you think about the state of the world at all? if you need a way to help the global state of things, check...

the making of the Anthology—Paulette's Musings, part 2

[image error][image error][image error]I noticed that through my international monthly e-newsletter, Caravan Trails, dancers would read what I wrote and write back to me with thoughts, questions, and responses to my articles. How exciting to hear back from you, my readers and fellow dancing friends, and that I could ellicit a response from my thoughts. Well, why not take this idea further.

I had the thought of asking my readers to share their experiences in my monthly mailing, by starting a forum for writing. Delicious Divas...

now we are talking–fabulousness…

Seth said it again! I love it when someone hits it on the head, something you might think about all the time, but when you see it in words, on the page, it really strikes you. I love fabulousness…and I love it even more when I see it around me, being created, especially by those I know, or by me; but also just everywhere…

Seth is the man, Seth Godin, that is… what more can I say?

he said:

Fabulous

This is so cool: because we only look at things we want to look at, only talk about things worth...

One More Thing

On this foggy Monday, the day after the big Thanksgiving holiday. Feasts, family, friends—it was a full, lovely and loving weekend. So much gratitude for the life I have.

Now, back to work, and our OMT for the week! It is hard not to get discouraged sometimes, when I see the mindlessness of people, some in general, and others close to me, and how they mistreat the planet, on a large scale of thoughtlessness, to a small scale in everyday living. I must remember that every little thing I do...

the making of the Anthology—Paulette's Musings

How did this Anthology, Delicious Divas Dancing Dreams A Tribal Dancer's Anthology, get started? Dreams, visions, ideas…my desire to stay connected, to hear about other's experiences, and to get dancer's writing.

Here is an exceprt I wrote, from the Anthology.

This Tribal Bellydance has brought a world of riches to me and my desire over the years has been to spread the word, instigating and encouraging women and men around the globe to come together to dance and make music together...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! The Anthology is here! ...

One More Thing—giving your time

A few weeks ago,  I donated my time to give a free workshop. It was an annual, special event weekend in Portland, called the 3rd Annual Siren Nation Festival!  (Nov. 5-8th 2009)
What an honor to be asked to teach, to share this dance with assorted women, to inspire and show why this dance that I do, this tribal bellydance, is so damn cool! The event was geared toward artists, or women who are learning how to be artists, women of all ages and backgrounds.The event include music, films, a gym...

enjoying catching up with Paulette

another bit of history!

We forget sometimes, where we have been and what we have done. At least, I do! Then I get an email reminder of some of my Gypsy Caravan past, and oh, it is exciting to revisit it. I am grateful for the work that I have been able to do in the dance world, tribal bellydance, through recordings, documentaries, instructional DVDs, performance productions. I have worked with brilliant dancers, musicians, storytellers. I am thankful for the dancers who have accompanied me on my journeys, giving...
