"That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do - not because the nature of the thing has changed, but that our power to do so has increased." Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ironically this applies to both productive and unproductive behaviors!

"Sometimes 'healing journeys' take longer than one would desire or anticipate. The lesson is keep up the good fight - do EVERYTHING possible. NEVER GIVE UP! What you will be like when all Healing Pathways have been traveled is hard to tell - you will be 'different' - yet that can also have Shining Moments. Embrace the Moment - allow yourself to EVOLVE!"

"Loss. A Part of All Lives. When we lose a Person, a Place, or an Activity we Love Grief is like a Sword Thrust into the Soul. The Deeper the Love Lost the Deeper the Pain. At first treasured Memories evoke longing & grief for what was lost. The sorrow feels unbearable. Yet - if One is open to a Healthy Full Grieving those Memories can bring Gentle Joy - letting you reclaim the Treasure of what was lost in a new way - One never loses a deep sense of loss yet full Grieving Opens the Way for New Light from the World to Present Fresh Journeys of your Soul in the World. As Long as you Live there is Love in the World. It just takes Courage & Patience to Open Up to New Ways of Loving & Living."

Please be conscious that IF you cannot follow Words of Wisdom of a Life or Dance Coach it is NOT because you are "lazy" "stubborn" or "undisciplined". ALL individuals have "internalized relationship models" which develop in our formative years.
They enable us to "thrive or survive" our familial/social environments. When activated by external or internals events these relationship models automatically send biochemicals through One's body which are experienced as emotions. Psychotherapy take one on a Journey to become aware of then SHIFT these "coping skills"which no longer serve your your life.It changes the body/mind/emotional connections. THEN it will be possible to utilize the wisdom of other Coaches.

“Personal Growth and the attendant Evolution are a Beautiful Mystery. When one is aware and responsive of changes, Growth in the Psyche occurs. Oftentimes “growing pains” are challenging - yet if one is open to the Challenges of Surrendering, perhaps Grieving, New Vistas Open &
Insights lead to Action! Look up! Look out!”

Except for an extremely small percentage of the population - people felt the ramifications from the worst of the Pandemic on many levels. Fears for health & health/survival of loved ones; loss of jobs; disruption of dreams, careers, artistic paths; economic hardships; developmental delays in finding & growing relationships; the list goes on & on. Now that we are starting to rebuild our lives many are experiencing that they often are unnecessarily 'reactive' to 'activating events.' After 'holding it together' for years emotions now surface quickly. There a little emotional reserves! While realizing that others actions may indeed be a cause of anger, sorrow and/or setting boundaries - upon reflections you may realize that the SIZE of your emotions did not belong to the activating event. Take stock. If true - apologize - hold yourself accountable - then be KIND to yourself and take steps to further your Emotional & Psychological Healing. Nurture - be giving and kind to yourself. In this way you are working towards healing & and will be able to recalibrate your emotional responses.

Learning from Ukrainian & Russian Dancers, Musicians & Visual Artists in the United States. The ones I have the honor to know are supporting one another with affection, respect and strength. One lesson learned is that when under attack one has the right to defend oneself with dignity strength and honor. Second lesson is that when one can no longer be 'safe enough' where under attack sometimes one has to leave the home one loves - taking one's broken heart to a safe enrionent. Packed with the precious memories traveling to an unknown place yet with hopes to return one day to ones beloved home.
