I have to learn the hard way. I try, I try so hard to learn the easy way. I read, I read a lot, ask the kids who asked me what I was reading on the beach yesterday and if it was The Notebook to which I awkwardly replied… no… it’s nonfiction. I like books…

Never too late
When I started training for dance at the age of 21, most people told me it was too late. Too late for what? Five years later, dance is my full-time profession. Between teaching classes, working at a studio, studying choreography, being involved in my own developmental classes and peer dance groups. I spend an average…
Stay safe abroad
“Aren’t you afraid of getting taken?” Um…. no. Don’t worry, if you asked me that question, I’m not specifically writing about you because I’ve been asked it more times than I can count. Y’all need to stop watching T.V. or something. Before I sound too rude, let me explain that danger is a real thing….
Noemí’s travel tip – Find the live music
I learn a lot from the people I travel with. One of my favorite travel buddies? Noemí. Flexible, fun, always put-together and beautiful, and she is a magnet for live music. We would always try to find a restaurant at the end of the day that had live music. And let me tell you, it…

Adventures at home: Financial Literacy
I never cared about money. My goal was never to be a millionaire, to have the nicest things, none of that. Money struck me as essential, and that the more you have the more options you have, so I wanted enough to…. *cough* travel. I was reading a book the other day that basically said:…
neuroplasticity
Woah. Why am I about to talk about this?Because it affects everything. I’m no neuroscientist, but basically from what I’ve read your brain has connections and pathways. Some are so worn, the way you’ve thought for your whole life, that when a new little thought forms, it slides right down without even thinking, splashing in…
Fun ways to bring exercise into your day
I’m no expert, but here’s a few thoughts in the midst of my current adventure of weightlifting at the gym… Dance party Okay, we seriously underestimate the power of five minutes. Pick one song that you love, it’s probably 3-4 minutes long. NOTHING can get in the way of these 4 minutes. Trust me, nothing…
