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.

Christmas time...

Hello everyone. So, the snow here is on and off. It's sunny and it makes everything glisten a bit. I'm enjoying my time with little man who's not so little anymore. He's more than excited about Santa and tomorrow he's singing in the choir here. We've been baking, eating, and decorating Christmas cookies and preparing for the feast that will occur on Christmas Day. I'm knitting away during my spare moments, a sweater for me, and mostly enjoying the coziness of the home we are staying in for a few more days. I'm loving the holiday season, the lights, visits from friends and family, and most of all, the time to be at peace. Have a beautiful Christmas! Feliz Navidad!

Camera is....

Broken. yes, that's right. not sure what's wrong with it. So, all of these Christmas moments are passing me by. Making cookies, decorating the tree, sledding, etc. etc. Anyways, we feel that we are on bit of a vacation right now. We are housesitting for some dear friends of ours and their kitties. They have a nice, cozy home. We are looking forward to the day when we'll be in our own. Anyways, it's 19 degrees outside, but it's so beautiful with snow and all!!!

Can you say?

Argh?! Yes, that's what I'm saying. There's nothing like presentations and final papers due the last week of school. So many things to hand in and to keep track of. Sometimes I can still feel my glasses on at night while I'm sleeping. That tells you how much I'm studying, typing, and reading with these things on. Anyways, I'm still here and soon this weight of studying will be over: Friday is the day. Tomorrow is my final day and Friday, let's celebrate! Come back and see me on Friday for a special something!!!

Oh the weather outside is....

Frightful but gorgeous.
Cold but cozy.


It's SNOWING!!! ALOT! It's beautiful and I can't wait to play in it.
Hope you're having a beautiful, cozy day, even if it's not snowing where you are.
