Vacation Almost Over

by

That’s right. It is now Monday and I am leaving California on Wednesday morning. It has been good, but I am looking forward to having more time to myself again. I have not focused on my voice/speech therapy the way I would like to and need/want to get back on that. It is insane how distracting things can be when I am revolving my life around being social. I still have yet to find the perfect balance. I suppose a lot of it is because I absolutely love my work and to not have any work in my life would take away from having a fulfilling vacation. I love doing and accomplishing. I love to see where I want to be and experiencing the journey as I get there.

While having this time off, I have been casually working on adding a vocabulary to my House dancing. It was so fun to bring all my new stuff to a club on Friday and get acknowledged. House dancing is a specific style and I have worked to get that style in my body. It will always look different on everyone and I am starting to find my own groove. Once a groove is found, it is not about the dance moves. It starts with the music and the groove is absolutely unpredictable. I love it. I have no idea what I am going to do and I feel comfortable with it! It was amazing. My friend who throws parties here in California knows someone in New York who could connect me with the house scene there. This would be amazing.
Needless to say … again, I am looking forward to getting back to New York and having the time to focus on everything that is work-related. I love my life and I love my time off, but the fact that my next gig is getting closer, helps me breathe more efficiently.Dancing Headshot
