Purpose in Life
June 23rd, 2009

I love to be inspired by others. to see, read, experience something that they contribute to our crazy life and world. I am continuously inspired and inpressed by Chris Guillebeau and his blog, his travels, and his take on how to live your life anyway that you want, with non-conformity and unconventionality and passion. To be authentic. I have always stuck by these ideas, knowing that I can make my life what I want and need it to be. At the same time, trying to serve a purpose and bring happiness and joy to those around me. 

My dance world has fulfilled this. I love my dance, and I love to teach, to share this profoundness with others, and to help them make their lives full of meaning, passion, friendship, art, and love.

Chris’s two big questions:

1. What do you want out of life?

2. What can you offer that noone else can?

Fellow bloggers, please link to the manifesto here at this page:

no mediocrity for your troupe, your dance, your life…
May 24th, 2009

or anything for that matter…
Chris says in my favorite blog these days, “If the band leader only says, “Nice job, guys” when everyone is playing badly, no one will ever improve. Instead, the undeserved compliment will reinforce a subculture of mediocrity. At best, the group becomes inefficient. At worst, the group falls apart because no one is holding up the flag of excellence and keeping people focused on the right goals.
Whether through failure or constructive criticism, ass-kicking reminds us we’re not alone in the world.
If people care about you getting your stuff done, that’s a good thing, because it provides effective reinforcement for the finished product. On the other hand, if no one notices or cares, you begin to feel as though you might as well not do it.”

List me five things you want to get done in the next six months…
come on, tell me!
I’ll think about my list and share it with you this week.
