The Good Old Days

“I wish there was a way to know we were in the good old days before we left them.” It’s a quote from The Office and since first hearing it a few years back, it’s created an eerily beautiful sting in my chest. I recently said this to someone who in turn said to me…

let’s run wild.

I fall in love every time I board a plane or take a drive beyond the city limits. I love this world so much. I am in love with these places all around me- they capture me, draw me in and inspire me to want to be a person of worth. Recently, I found myself…

Dance Teacher Love.

“When I grow up, I want to be a dance teacher just like you!” Camryn, a four year old at my new studio came into class, grinning ear to ear and ecstatically informed me of her newest decision. Little phrases like this are a common frequency in the day of the life of a dance…

Life Lessons.

I’ve said it many times, written many times and thought it even more times. I am a firm believer that in order to grow as people we need to continue to push ourselves past our comfort zones. We need to make a physical effort to push ourselves mentally, spiritually and physical in all aspects of…

So Long Sweet Summer.

What a week it’s already been. First, let me just say the clique “how amazing is fall?!” Is there anything more beautifully ironic than the last summer kiss of the bright and bold colors of the dying autumn leaves? I feel like I ask that question a lot; is there anything better? I hope that just…

Do you ever have a moment in life when everything just feels so perfect and content that you wish, with your entire being, that you could do anything to keep that moment going forever, or at least for a longer than they last? Those kinds are my favorite. Few things warm my soul more, than…

San Francisco Part 2.

After we left our shows in Berkeley, we naturally had to go get some In ‘n’ Out Burger before parking the Tahoe for a nights rest. With the mix of the stubbornness that is our friendship, the over tiredness from the weekend and the aching bodies from dancing we were quickly frustrated with the lack of planning…

Power to the Poof.

Somewhere after an exciting end of summer road trip, seemingly endless amounts of fun and a constant flow of guests in and out of our house, I found myself hit in the face with reality. September had arrived and I was suddenly in major need of work and a schedule. Anxious to get started with…

Berkeley, CA.

I felt the cool Northern California breeze rush through my bones as it snuck its way into my sleeping bag. I shivered and rolled over, amused by the sight of my friends all piled up together in the middle of Berkeley. Only a few crazies would do this, but I’m glad those crazies were my…

San Francisco Part 1.

With the sun beating through the Tahoe windows the next morning, I put on my glasses and peered up over the front window to see the beautiful mountains saying good morning. What a view to wake to! Before we could ever stretch, C jumped into the front seat, revved up the engine and away we…
