Gypsy of the rings!
a bit of magic and power, and are your rings ever big enough?
just a shot when Gina, Dulcinea, and I were teaching in Barcelona and bought these rings,

another blog to love and positive inspiration
How do you get inspired? the ongoing topic…
A way for me to get inspired is by reading what other people do, what they think and write, it's as if they were a mirror, or not, and gives me a time to reflect on myself and what I am doing and what I've set out to do… Derek Silvers, an ex-circus man turned musician then ingenious entrepeneur, the former owner of the amazingly successful CD Baby, keeps things moving for me…

Being a teacher and having a teacher…
Today I am preparing my itineraries for my teaching travels this fall and winter. This includes travel flights, accomodations, workshop titles, Collective Soul and Teacher Training Certification applications and programs, and the calendar…oohhh the calendar! That is the hard part!

When I was teaching in Australia awhile back, I nonchalantly said how much I loved this song. Deb, a lovely dancer, went back to her troupe that day, and they decided to perform to it for me at the hafla that weekend. Pretty cool, eh?

One More Thing- 8/24/09-Positively Inspired
Sometimes I just get really excited about something, and find it hard to contain my excitement—know how that feels? Maybe I love a new dance piece, or a song makes me crazy with the need to dance to it, or my garden veggies burst forth so unexpectedly, or maybe I feel like my little bit really does help. I get on a roll and then I focus, or refocus, on my desires and intention (we talked about last week!)…
I get inspired from reading. Words inspire me. Movement inspires me. Thinking and writing i
