Such a simple idea, and still somehow so difficult to realize. I am usually pretty reluctant to share much about my spiritual life with anybody, because it is one of those things which in my humble opinion is just plain private. I have always considered questions about my faith, especially when posed by perfect strangers … Continue reading All You Need Is

Saucer-eyed.
These are two of my young students, each with older ballerina sisters. I snapped this a couple of weeks ago at one of the rehearsals for our studio performance. This takes me back several decades when I spent countless hours waiting for my ballerina mamma to finish class or rehearsal, only I was usually sprawled … Continue reading Saucer-eyed.

With a skosh of remaining … Continue reading Moving Planets, Shifting Gears
