Heyyy yaโ€™ll, welp Iโ€™m back! I went to the Mard Heyyy yaโ€™ll, welp Iโ€™m back! I went to the Mardi Gras and passed a bon temps ma cheries! ๐ŸŽบ

 I hadnโ€™t been to carnival in a long long time - So I didnโ€™t just go, I took a dang pilgrimage and drove to Nola and back on an epic solo road trip through Appalachia and the Smokey mountains and the south. It was a lot! It was a blast. It reminded me of who I am. 

Ahhh and there she is!! ๐Ÿ˜„ More alive and in my skin than Iโ€™ve felt in a long time. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Ive been back a week and I still donโ€™t know how to sum up what went down and describe what an amazing journey it was for me. For nowโ€ฆlet the photo dump begin!

Hiiii! Belated new year greetings and an update! I Hiiii! Belated new year greetings and an update! I know youโ€™ve not heard hide nor hair from me in weeks ๐Ÿซฃ, but I am alive and well(ish) and excited to tell you about a new weekly #bellydance show at the lovely @bluemezze Saturdays at 8:00pm!! 

This is my excited face. ๐Ÿ˜ Captured by @abbeyphotographers from Ramena +Ferdiโ€™s #wedding last spring. ๐Ÿ’• Felt right. 

If you come tomorrow (Sat) for dinner and dancing, I guarantee you will see this face, which is even more exuberant and infectious in person Iโ€™m told. ๐Ÿ˜†

Swipe for video from last week! And visit their profile for details.

And ze updateโ€ฆ.
Since the start of the year, Iโ€™ve been dealing with some exacerbated health issues and injuries - just a body that is being extremely vocal right now with needing ALL of my attention. Everyone and everything else has become de-prioritized.

So Iโ€™m focused on finding the right treatments and supportive therapies and tinkering with my herbs and elixirs and spirits, creating concoctions for #healing like a proper #kitchenwitch. ๐ŸŒฟAnd #wintering, a time for withdrawing from the world and deep rest. ๐Ÿฟ

I have so many beautiful #dance videos and photos to share in retrospect of 2022. I did a lot of stuff Iโ€™m proud of, surprisingly! Despite it also being a year of terrible ordeals I wish I didnโ€™t have to go through.  But who said growth was easy?  Iโ€™m organizing what stays and what goes, finding the valuables among the ashes -  remaining open-minded and more importantly open-hearted for what comes next! ๐Ÿ’—

Hope to see you soon. Xx

It starts again tonight with back to back holiday events every night until Sunday. #December was always a killer, but not really since 2019- so I ainโ€™t prepared! But here we are. ๐Ÿ˜„

I havenโ€™t been doing too many of these weekend gig posts lately, but Iโ€™ve certainly been working a lot as usual, and through a lot of challenges in alllll the areas. Working on some rebranding and changes to come in the new year, and I expect youโ€™ll hear from me a lot more when Iโ€™m ready. Plus an onslaught of pics of me next to Christmas trees to come. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ’š
Happy holiday season everyone!

๐Ÿ’–Because healthy amounts of humor and humility make for the best performances, and the best medicine in life. 
๐Ÿ’–And if you all tangled up in stuff thatโ€™s holding you back - let that sh$t go! 
๐Ÿ’– If you got no idea whatโ€™s happening, just relax and enjoy the ride.

Who else loves an epic 8 minute drum solo full of laughter and surprises? ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

As cringy as it was to watch him run for congress, seeing his face so often made me chuckle remembering this gig lol

Hiring bellydancers to talk about the benefits of argan oil and demonstrate how we use it was so silly, but we had a blast doing it together- it still hits 9 years later. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ 

Felt like the right moment to dig this up and share. Iโ€™m so happy he lost. ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ™Œ
