I’ve watched people dance on the social dance floor for close to 20 years, and have been teaching for over 10. I’ve seen a few things that are worth mentioning, and so will be doing a multiple part series on Becoming A Better Dancer. Welcome to Part 1! Part 1: DON’T OVERSHOOT YOUR BUTT! Often, when…
DetailsLife is hard. Challenges abound; sometimes it feels like we get hammered constantly, with no time to breathe and regroup. Complaints spill from our lips about our problems. But do we make things worse with our whining? We definitely set the tone in our homes and work with our attitudes. It starts at the top –…
DetailsI was listening to Marisa Peer, and she was relating a story about a client who “had everything”, yet was miserable. She said, “You don’t think you’re enough, do you?” And bingo; that was it. Success notwithstanding, her client did not believe he was enough (defined as ADEQUATE or SUFFICIENT). No matter how much he…
DetailsAny time a group of people gets together, the possibility for conflict increases. We all have opinions, and they all matter. It’s a free country. However…HOWEVER!!!

DetailsDo you ever feel like the man in this photo? I sure do. I woke up to this song running through my head. As we walk, there so many times when we cannot see where we’re going, or what’s ahead. I’m alive, even though a part of me has died. I know I’m not the only…
DetailsHave you recovered from your New Year’s Eve celebration last night yet? I have, but I’m still in my pj’s, working and relaxing. My headache has finally receded 🙂 This is my kind of day to start the new year, with this crisp, sunny, lovely air! One REMINDER – I will not be at Cadillac…
DetailsWe’ve all been at that dismal place when we are sad and lonely where we don’t feel like we have any friends. Have you visited that spot in Sadville lately? We tend to do that more when we are in the middle of cultural pressure cookers like major holidays. We check our gift list, and…
DetailsYesterday I was privileged to be a part of remembering John Mathe’s life. I met John through Betsy on the dance floor, and he accompanied the dance team in our travels during our two years of performing and competing around the country. He sure did enjoy our week in Nashville with almost all the original…
