Every now and then I remember the guy who told me all I needed to do to make big bucks was rent my own studio and teach bellydance full-time in Kitchener.

I was already teaching five classes a week in various places around the region, and classes weren't at capacity. He didn't believe me when I said there weren't enough people interested in studying dance to populate full-time classes.

He informed me I was wrong. That there were always people interested, and I just wasn't trying hard enough. So I invited him to be one of my students, but he declined.

Twenty years ago, I practiced kung fu regularly. The bruises were typical for the time. I was also a professional dancer at the time and got really creative with hiding the bruises because typically, people don't want to see a beaten-up dancer. #kungFu #bruises #throwback #dancer

An diesem #Fotomontag möchte ich zeigen, wie sehr es lohnt, einfach die Augen offen zu halten. Das Motiv ist eines meiner liebsten von dem Tag geworden, dabei sind wir völlig zufällig an genau diesem Ort vorbeigekommen.

There's much to be said for stretching.

When we do so with our body, we keep it moving, limber, able to perform well and easily.

So also with our mind. When we reach out and touch new thoughts, balance for a moment and see how they feel, lean this way and that, we remain supple, agile, flexible.
