We went out to the woods for a mini-shoot in the forest today (in order to prepare for this summer’s MoveSpiration weekend) and.. It was fun. It was hard. It was chilly. I struggled. It took us nearly till the end of the walk (and the last drops of sunshine!) to get me to relax.… Read More Forest Fotoshooting
Every day, we can learn something new. If all goes well, I’ll be taking my first Contemporary Dance class tonight at the Ballet school.

Thoughts, feelings and experiences are starting to fade, unprocessed. And.. I miss the writing. I’ll be re-picking up the daily posts, and hopping back into the archives to… Read More Rebootski

I’m only a few workouts in, and it feels amazing to be building my strength again, in every sense. I haven’t realized how much I missed it until now. Food for… Read More Strength for Christmas
