Guess what? We have a new camera!!! And i'm loving it and taking photos and more photos...some of these are from this past weekend...we were up in the mountains in a small town called Gold Hill. This photo we took of little guy inside a kiva...it was beautiful.

The sun will come out....

Today!!!! Hello there. It has been quite a while, I must say. And thank you for checking up on me...I'm doing well.
I've been busy with pretty much LIFE. But I thought I'd let you know that all is well. I think Summer has begun in these parts of Colorado, yet it has been raining a whole heck of a lot. The sun has peaked out for a mere few hours today with more showers expected. Everything is so lush, it's beautiful. Hopefully, all this moisture will help the garden!

That's right, a garden....
We have started a wee veggie garden: tomatoes, jalepenos, sweet peppers, and bell peppers. Little man was so excited to help in the action. So we did. We just purchased some starter plants and now they are on their way. I was looking for the perfect pots and soil..well, lo and behold, a local radio station here in Boulder, KGNU, was having a plant sale. Scored on two HUGE bags of compost and pots!!! Woo! So, now we are waiting patiently...I'll have to take some photos.

I'm also dancing once again...I'm back to Danza Azteca. I've been practicing with this grupo and feel like I've walked into someone's family. It it such a joy and I look forward to growing with the group.

In other news, I begin my training tomorrow for my internship..working with the Veterans at the local Vet Center. I'm excited, nervous, and above all, ready. I'll have a full year with 700 hours to complete...woo, that's alot! But I'm looking forward to it. Other than that, been outside a bunch, hiking and biking. Well, that's all for now....hope you too are doing well!

Tonight....

I'm performing! If you are in the area, please come see this amazing work. I am delighted to be a part of it and feel this opportunity is not only unique, but in a way, it also helps me understand what my father was protesting against as well. Visit this link for more information:

Things..

Well, many a things have been happening around these parts. First of all, I'm in the process of applying for several internships for my final year as I pursue my MA in Somatic Counseling Psychology. Second, I just finished the 13th Annual Somatic Arts Concert where I presented two works. One featured this song. It was quite extrordinary finding an arranger for this tune especially after one quit, and getting members of this choir to sing it. Well, with 6 dancers on stage in dresses of every color, mine a teal blue, we did it! In matter of fact, the song was sung by hubby while he played acoutic guitar. I'm so proud!

On top of all that beauty, I collaborated with two other women in a work that featured this artist. It was quite an emotional process, a creative process of balancing the acculturated and the reptilian. The part of each and every one of us that can just snap at any moment....well, it was quite emotional, quite tiring. Yet with it all, it was stunning and beautiful. I think I shocked myself most of all just exposing that particular side of myself to an audience. It was rough, yet in a soothing way. Anyways, we are awaiting the video of the production...I'm nervous to watch it.

Most recently, I auditioned for this wonderful choreographer. Guess what, I GOT IN!!! There were over 60 dancers and only 25 to 30 were chosen. I just received the message today that I'm an in and it's pretty exciting. The work that you just saw is the one that I will be performing in. This is not the first time I have worked with this choreographer, it occurred in 1998, here. Anyways, I'm just feeling so inspired creatively and being chosen for this work inspires not only who I am as an artist, but as a breathing somebody on this planet.

With all of that, hubby and son are beautiful and well. It's almost Valentine's and I'm about to make some of these. I'm excited and hungry to eat them!!! Well, lovelies, hope all is well with you and may your creative juices continue to flow....

Finally, take a listen, I'm in love with her voice, her sound. Hope you like her too.

I have to admit...

I haven't been in the mood to blog. Even with a new computer, a new year, and a new President, I still haven't been in the mood. But all is well. I'll be in touch with you soon. Thanks for your patience.
