    My Vision for 2019

    I have come up with my vision statement for this year….drumroll, please… I dance through life with confidence, ease, and joy. Isn’t it delicious? I love it. It’s not what I expected my vision to be for this year. I expected something to do with space and calm and peace – those were the words…

    Last week I talked about taking recovery time when you needed it which seemed to hit a chord with many of you, this week I want to take the subject even further and talk about avoiding BURNOUT! You see, despite having 2 days off last week, I still ended the week feeling exhausted, and by…

  • Strictly Come Dancing and Coaching

    Woohoo, my favourite tv show is BACK! Strictly Come Dancing…the show where random celebrities are taught to dance. I can’t tell you why I love it so, but love it I do! In fact, I’m enormously glad this year that the BBC iplayer is around, because I don’t have to stay in for the next…
