Adventures: Big4 Ice Caves

There are some moments in life when we just need a break from reality. I had a pretty rough week so I was very much looking forward to my day off: Friday. The mountains were calling me. I spent my day on a solo mission, checking off a 2015 bucket list item; The Big 4…

Feels Like Home.

A reoccurring theme in my mind, I am surprised how much I am continually amazed with the speed of time and how quickly it passes. Two weeks back in Minnesota flew by in the blink of an eye. It’s never long enough and always extremely hard for me to say goodbye. They say it’s always…

The List: 2015.

Welcome 2015, I am so excited that you are here! You are a brand new blank page in our story that is just itching to be filled with beautiful words, stories and scribbles. I am a huge fan of lists. I need them in my everyday life to ensure I’m doing what I’m supposed to.…

Life Is But A Dream;

Sometimes, I feel like my life isn’t real. Is this just me? Do other people feel that sensation as well? Some mornings I wake up and think to myself, “this isn’t real life.” This is not what life is. Certainly it can’t be what my life is. It feels like nothing is real and that…

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…
