I am so excited to be a part of this upcoming conference.
-
If you are a singer in middle age and beyond or you work with singers middle age and beyond, I hope you will join us!
-
My session will be a chance to move your body and explore the pelvic girdle in particular, where women really benefit from mobility and strength as we move through middle age!

Weekly knitting update.
-
In the most recent row I added in the third color which will be the body of the sweater.
-
Keeping 6 strands of yarn going is challenging so one row of 277 stitches takes quite a bit of time. 7 more rows of yoke and then it’ll just be solid gray.

Breath holding is an issue lots of singers deal with, but it can be tricky to pinpoint. And, the trickle out effect on the rest of the body can be significant.

Check out the blog I wrote on breath holding linked in my bio.

I’m looking forward to joining the module 3 Yoga

I’m looking forward to joining the module 3 Yoga Therapy Trainees next week with @susi.hately to talk all things breathing.
-
We’ll be doing a lot of experimenting with the breath throughout the two days.
-
I think this is my fav graphic from my slide decks.
-
Who else got in trouble for blowing bubbles in their milk as a kid? Just me? I was apparently just ahead of my time...
-
It’s now officially an ok thing to do - especially when you’re experimenting with breath, pressure and over breathing!

How do you prepare?
-
I’m doing a few days of teaching breathing next week and if there’s one thing I’ve learned about myself over the years it is this: I need to SPREAD OUT when I’m prepping.
-
Pulling out all my notes, books articles and having them in front of me to refer to AND being able to create a visual map of what I want to teach.
-
It looks like a giant mess to everyone else, but it’s just how mah brain works!

#reallife It’s 5:15pm on a Saturday and I got out of my pajamas long enough to immerse myself in a hot tub to try and soak away the week and then put clean pjs back on. That’s all I did today.
-
Over this past week I’ve only gotten about 4 hours of sleep a night.
-
An anxious child, a Covid exposure, a pile of upcoming work projects I haven’t gotten to, the dull gray of February, life in a pandemic, remote schooling a kid who desperately needs to be in person, life with roller coastering middle aged hormones. They all swirled together to hijack my thinking mind and left me awake hour after hour.
-
All those hours not sleeping I spent in deep meditation, some time in tears and some time doom scrolling to distract myself.
-
A friend has reminded me many times in the last month to be gentle with myself. The challenges are many right now.
-
We’re all in the same ocean just paddling different boats.
-
Tomorrow is another day, but today I rested.

When most people hear the song "Hound Dog," they think of Elvis Presley. But the truth is it was recorded three years earlier by Big Mama Thorton who sold over 2,000,000 copies of the song. Sadly, it was her only hit record. In the early days of rock 'n' roll, it was not uncommon for black artists to originate a song and then have white artists come along and remake it. In cases where the black artist wrote the song as well, the white artists rarely made payments to the original artist for their work. This left many black songwriters on the sidelines and they were forced to watch their careers fizzle while their songs soared to popularity. It's a dark part of music history that has often been ignored, but must be brought to light if we are to truly understand the roots of American popular music. #BlackHistoryMonth #Rock #history #themoreyouknow

I often share what I’m reading on IG, but today

I often share what I’m reading on IG, but today I thought I’d share a few of the books my daughter (age 11) has loved in the last year.
-
Throughout my kid’s lives I’ve tried to create diverse bookshelves for them, with authors and stories that represent cultures and skin colors other than their own.
-
To celebrate black history month I wanted to share these. If you are realizing there isn’t much diversity in your middle schoolers novels, check these out. Many of them she loved so much she brought them to me and told me I needed to read them too! My favorites were the Children of Blood and Bone series and we are both waiting anxiously for book 3 to come out.
-
After you’ve surveyed your kid’s shelves, reach out to their classroom teacher and offer to purchase some books for the classroom that bring in more diversity. We do this every year and the teachers are always really grateful.
