Beth and I are back in Sullivan County. Today, we were supposed to be playing a holiday gig at a school, but both of us have tested positive for Covid. We canceled our shows for Monday and Tuesday hoping that we will be okay for shows Wednesday thru Friday and our trip to Florida later …

Friday is the last day of a residency in Dix Hills, NY where we spent five days facilitating our program, “Mindfulness in Motion.” The kids were fun to be with and I enjoyed teaching them and dancing, too! I’m a little sore after six sessions per day all week, but it feels good knowing that …

Christmas cookies and nutroll are baking, yoga classes are getting filmed and a hundred other details are receiving our attention prior to departure. We’re used to these comings and goings.
