Happy gratitude day and a poem!
Happy Thanksgiving friends!
Some roses for you…. :)
Just a quick note to say Thank you for being in my life, in whatever form that takes, whether it be through this blog, Fb, in person, clients, dancers, teachers, friends, family… I am so happy you are here to help create a beautiful circle of creativity, connection, love, beauty community, art, and so much more.
Know that you are making a difference in the world.

I am grateful
for my pen and journal — the pen glitters and reflects with the jewel-studded top — reflects with me as I write
I am grateful for the desire and ability to shine, reflect, and be vibrant — like my pen — living the life I desire and choose
I am grateful
for my voice-
for the desire and ability
to sing — loud and strong, with heart
to take a stand-
to stand up for my beliefs
and to act on my beliefs
to speak out loud
with clarity, without fear of rejection or ridicule
with love and passion
with the desire to inspire
with the intention to guide others on their paths
to speak clearly with truth and feeling
I am grateful
For my dance
It connects me with the tribes
It gives me my freedom, yet anchors me
It follows me everywhere yet leads me on my path
And then, for my dancing sisters, who share the love, the passion, the spirit, and the freakin’ crazy fun we have together on our bizarrely wonderful road trips…
I am grateful
For the rain — it greens up my world so beautifully and gives sustenance
And then
I am even more grateful for the sun-the sunbunny that I am — it warms my body, mind, and soul — and it ripens and heightens my instincts
I am grateful
for my corgi-dogs, my best friends, my constant companions who make me laugh everyday
Who feel what I feel
Who know how to live in the moment
Who live for love and play — ( I need to pay even more attention!)
I am grateful
for my man
Who loves me no matter what
Who gets me
Who is freakin’ sexy
Who gives me space or the comfort of a warm hug
Who stands tall and sure, moving forward with grace, ease, and lightness
Who quietly encourages, supports, or guides as we walk our journey together
I am grateful
For my home
The artful abode I/we have created
For still standing and saving me when I fell and giving me creative space
For being my palace, my paradise, my armor, my future, and my fortress
I am grateful
For the few true friends, who stood (and still stand) by me, as I ran, as I explored
Who did not judge, condemn, question, or gossip, about my needs as I healed and grew
Who never gave up or lost trust, or threw me aside
Who weren’t out to get what I could offer and then dinged me when I could no longer serve them
Who know how to have a good time, keep their creative juices flowing, and bring me along for their ride too!
I am grateful
For my body, that has danced me through life, opening me up to all the possibilities, it has become my voice
For the desire and ability to be vegan in our crazy world
To eat and cook amazing food that nourishes and inspires and feeds me on many levels, and feeds my body all that it needs,
craves, and desires…with no harm to others
To have compassion and respect for all living creatures
(and to try to have the same for those that don’t)
I am grateful
For the animals of the world, many who have their lives taken away for human greed, for they still share a heartbeat with me…
I am grateful
For my heroes, mentors, idols, saints, and saviors. friends, and family
Who constantly feed, inspire, support, motivate, and help not only me, but the world to be a brighter, safer, creative, and loving place to be
I am grateful
For the freedom to soar and follow my heart, my guitar, my garden, my trailers, my bike, my workout, my meditations, my books, my kitchen, my camera, the internet, my work, music, words, song, dance, my tattoos, my cowboy boots, my senses to enjoy the bounty, hot tubs and hot showers, sex, art, green smoothies and amazing gluten-free pizza, breaking bread at the table with loved ones and strangers, tight jeans and black leggings, big hoop earrings and soup, jamming in the circle, jean jackets that act as my purse, being on the road with my man, honkytonk dives and music, pinot gris, laughter and soul searching, entrepreneurship and the buds of spring, darkness of the country and lights of the city, the woods and the open sky, and the indulgence of fine dining, my man’s mean bass playing, life, and you to share it all with…
