YAYAYAYAYAY!I am all giddy, and I had to share. Renee is off in DC and I would call her if I wasn't so afeared I would interrupt her family time! So Renee, can you feel tingly right now and need to check in with me...?Okay, here is the super exciting news--some you know, some you don't.2008 highlights:I get to teach (along with the amazing Renee, of course!) TWO workshops at Cues & Tattoos here in...
When we last left our fearless adventurers, they were settling in for the night after their first full day of the FCBD GSI.Day two was probably the most challenging day for me personally. The reason being that the moves were still fairly basic and universal...but with subtle tweaks from what we usually do with them. So the movements individually were not hard at all, but the details and the variat...

I am writing from our *excellent* (**second)** hotel room in Atlanta, where Renee and I are attending the ATS General Skills Intensive certificaition program with Carolena. Oh yes, Sharon gets the best adventures and drags other people along, I think. Well, I take the blame because it seems like I am the constant in these things. Nevermind the horrid check-in at the airport. Nevermind the ridiculo...

Me and mah gurlz got to rock it today at the Totally Tribal Hafla. What a great fun event, and a GLOOOOORIOUS day for it to happen on. Unfortunately, Chris' back was bothering HIM, and he was frowny and hunhappy and needed to leave, so I didn't get to hang out and do anything (granted, he offered for us to stay as long as I wanted, but honestly...I wasn't signing up for him moaning in pain every ...
Artist Way, October 12, 2007March 2nd, 2009A snippet from my morning pages during my 2007 Artist Way stint:"Well, dreams dreams dreams. Nutty, hugely real, eclectic dreams. Of the three I remember from last night, this morning's was the closest to "reality".I dreamt I was teaching some huge classes at some three-story hippie-facility--live/work, woo-woo decor--and this woman kept on getting in my...
I am fairly certain that most people would agree that evolution is rarely a conscious process. Particularly in art. We definitely try to push our limits, learn new things, and "grow", but I think in art, as in life, "growth" and "evolution" are two different processes. The former is a shorter term experience, fairly easily quantified and observed both by yourself and others. The results are gross...

So last week I had my physical therapy and chiropractor appointments. The PT really made me sore as hell--thighs and abs. Abs are still feeling it today from last Thursday, that's how sore. It was good, though. Moving. Feeling strong (or recognizing my weaknesses and resolving to strengthen them) felt good.Saturday we had plans for brunch and the 3.1K Greenwood-Phinney Gumshoe walk with Amy and E...
I am admitted, and sitting in a very stark room in a gown that opens in the back. Yeehaw. The desk lady was mean and scowled at me when I brought in a sandwich I had bought at the comissary, expecting a long wait for admittance. They didn't give it to me in a to-go container as I expected, so I am carrying this little paper tray with a turkey sandwich in it around everywhere and I am not allowed ...
So I think I confused some people with my visit tot he hospital today. But it is the source of another frustration, so I can clear it up, AND vent the hell out of my insurance!So right off the bat: NO. my back is not "so bad I had to go to the hospital". So never fear. But the reason I went is here:So some of you know I have had a bit of a runaround with my insurance, since we changed insurance c...
I DANCED!AND I WALK AND MOVE AND BEND N' SHIT!I DANCED!I DANCED!I DANCED!I DANCED!I DANCED!I DANCED!I DANCED!I DANCED!I DANCED!OMFGLOLLERSKATESBBQTEHDANCIN'!I iced as soon as I got home. And this morning as I lay in bed I just kept wondering how I was going to feel...was I going to be okay. No way to tell until I try to sit up...I roll over and sit up...AND I WAS OKAY! Just that teensy ache, but ...
The weekend went well. Med Fest. Torrential rains. Good friends. Back pain lessening further still.Saturday morning rain was threatening, but held off while we were setting up, which was great. Renee and I opted to do a big closet cleaning and sell off as much of our old costuming as possible. I was selling pantaloons for $5 apiece and 10-yard skirts for $15. I even sold my brocade Flying skirt f...
Saw my chiropractor today. Basically last week when I started feeling sharp pain in my back again, I should have stopped doing the exercises he had given me to do. The exercises were intended to strengthen the muscles surrounding the vertebrae while it was in proper alignment. So when it came out (I couldn't have known this, of course), I should have stopped. As it was, the reason I was getting w...
My back has been worse than ever. I had to cancel performing tonight.But the good news is I went to see a chiropractor this afternoon. I went in with a fair amount of trepidation and even greater amount of skepticism. But my insurance is apparently very supportive of the practice, as it is only a $20 copay, and allows 35 visits per calendar year! So I had an adjustment...and instant results. Not ...
Holy cow...Thank you SOOOO MUCH, everyone who nominated me for Instructor of the Year in the Zaghareet Golden Belly Awards!www.zaghareet.freeservers.com/poll.htmlYou guys completely made my year! I can't tell you how grateful I am for your support.**Nominations are just the beginning, though. Now the voting begins.**Your continued support for me in the voting from here would be so welcome and app...
This past weekend was wonderful fun. Gen and I head up to Chilliwack, BC to teach a weekend chock full of dancing goodness.We got stopped for a full search at the border which was scary. I mean, had I brought a ton of stuff to sell at the workshops as I usually do, we would have been in a very awkward position, surely. But we didn't, so the car search didn't implicate us in any way. And the immig...

So today as I was searching for my copy of the Artist's Way (which some of my troupemates and I are going to be doing together (again for some of us)), I walked past the stack of plastic boxes which had been passed on to me from my Mom on our last visit. In our family, we didn't have scrapbooks or anything so organized. We had "memory boxes". Basically, everyone had a cardboard box where anything...
My beloved is walking into his interview with Disney Online.He was excited and nervous when he left, as would be expected. Emphasis on the excited. I don't remember the last time I saw him bouncing around the house being his goofy self so much, let alone literally announcing, "I'm excited." He is also feeling very confident in his ability to get this job.Of course, if he doesn't for whatever reas...
Valentine's Day...I have never understood the amount of negativity people have toward a holiday that is devoted to love. This is not directed at anyone particular, but instead feelings that have long germinated in me over this topic."But it's so COMMERCIALIZED..."You don't have to buy a THING from Hallmark or anyone else to give a gift to someone you love. Draw or paint something for your Mom. Sew...
