DANCE THIS 2009 FINALE

I love watching young artists in training! I came upon this performance finale which brought together groups of diverse ethnic backgrounds and performance styles. Nice the way the show ended with a dance tribute to Michael Jackson.

Produced for the Seattle Theatre Group, DANCE This is a young artist training and performance program in cross cultural and contemporary dance. Each year DANCE This brings together more than 200 young artists (ages 13-22) from diverse communities and backgrounds for intensive dance training, collaboration and performances that share diverse cultures through the art of dance.

Energy Share for Sunday

December 6, 2009

Today I share with you peace and love with the energy boost embedded in the video.  It's a perfect message of how the energy we give and receive in the share is amplified...."it's one thing to give energy, but if we give it to someone who is also giving back, then we build energy among ourselves..." 

With a loving and open heart, let the energy help you recharge, rejuvenate, and reconnect. In times of conflict and drama, especially with our loved ones, let it help you to find compassion, forgiveness, and detachment from anger, frustration, and hate.  Let us remember to sing the song of peace in our hearts.  I joyfully and gratefully embrace the boost from you.

And...let us welcome a new friend to the share, Annette Maxwell, who's been a friend and fellow healer for some time...especially on Facebook!  Thanks for the gifts, Annette.

Even a small thing like an online game can help change our thoughts to believe in giving and accepting a gift.  According to the latest neuroscience research, the brain can literally physically change from the creation of new neural pathways as a result of consistently learning positive plasticity.  We can give and receive easily and naturally all the gifts and blessings abundant throughout the universe.  And with the share, that we deserve and accept the equal exchange of energy.

Thank you for all you do as healers and friends.  Enjoy the passionate life that you intend it to be.

Aloha pumehana (with blessings, love and affection)!

This is awesome seeing the change in Gregg and his ability to dance! Someone who has such difficulty walking can seem to dance with such ease and expression.  Watch the video on the webpage. It's a definite must-see!


Learning His Body, Learning to Dance

By NEIL GENZLINGER
Published: November 24, 2009

Gregg Mozgala, a 31-year-old actor with cerebral palsy, had 12 years of physical therapy while he was growing up. But in the last eight months, a determined choreographer with an unconventional résumé has done what all those therapists could not: She has dramatically changed the way Mr. Mozgala walks.

In the process, she has changed his view of himself and of his possibilities.

Wrong Number Miracle

Mom was going to miss mortgage payment if she sent daughter money

By ERIC S. PAGE

 

Virginia Saenz could hear the desperation in the voice of the telephone message. It was 5 a.m. on the day before Thanksgiving, and the caller, Lucy Crutchfield, was trying to tell her daughter that she'd send money for groceries -- but she'd have to miss a mortgage payment to do it.

But Crutchfield dialed the wrong number. Instead of getting her daughter, she got Saenz, a real estate agent from the San Diego suburb of Tierrasanta.

"I know right now we are all struggling," Saenz said. "Lisa on the phone, she sounded so desperate for her daughter, it broke my heart."

Take a moment today to receive this energy boost.  Let it help you recharge and rejuvenate. Let it help you find the spiritual solution to every problem and remember the truth of who you are.  I gratefully embrace the boost from you.

Sorry for the delay in getting the post up...just chalk it up to the vile pc gremlin named 'Glitch' and his Trojan hoarde. 

I hope you had a joyous thanksgiving celebration.  I am thankful for the abundance of food provided to us at every meal and especially for the holiday season.  Of course, it doesn't hurt that my family and relatives are phenomenal cooks and bakers... The feast and our loved ones reminds us of the wealth of riches and circulating energy we receive and give each day and throughout the world.  The rain we got this past weekend was also a blessing for our drought-ridden areas and perfect for cozying at home - afternoon naps, holiday movies, karaoke...

Thank you for all you do as healers and friends.  Enjoy the passionate life that you intend it to be.

Aloha pumehana (with blessings, love and affection)!

I Am Thankful

I am thankful for pets.
I am thankful for school.
I am thankful when I
Can swim in a pool.

I am thankful for home,
And the food that I eat.
I am thankful for all
The new friends that I meet.

I am thankful for health,
And for my family
I'm especially thankful
That I am just ME!

Wild Geese

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
