"So stop waiting for Fridays,

and stop waiting for summers,

and stop waiting for someone to fall in love with you,

because those things will happen.

But in the meantime, enjoy right now"

Hello from the other side!

Since April 1, I've been out of town and travelling for work, dance and pleasure approximately 28 days. Holy smokes.

It hit me the other day that last year I was writing out goals as part of new year's circle and I found myself continually writing down and vocalizing that I wanted to teach, dance and travel more.

Well, here we are. I got home from Los Angeles this past Monday and went straight into work all week. This included teaching and choreographing my feet off, as well as assisting to produce both my Army of Sass and The Lovers Cabaret shows this June and July.

This coming Tuesday, I'm packing my bags again and heading home(ish) to Kelowna to teach at my old high school, a couple masterclasses and connect with my friends out there.

Hard work pays off. Finally, so many things are coming together. They aren't perfect, by any means. I'm learning to deal with things on a totally different level as a producer and leader, not just a dancer.

I feel strong in my decisions. I feel valid. This work is good and I'm stoked to be doing it.

Also...Los Angeles rocked my world.

I'm still processing a lot of what I learned, saw and attempted. But to say the least, Galen Hooks gave me that extra push to conquer some major habits and break them. (See more about that on my Instagram).

This entire year has been a big one for me. I've learned how much I can rely on myself and my skill set to make anything happen.

I know it sounds cheesy, but it's true.

Have a wonderful weekend. A glass of rose wine is calling my name!

It could be everything. 

Or it could be nothing. 

You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you've climbed a mountain."

Don't think about what can happen in a month. 

Don't think about what can happen in a year. 

Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be.

Happy Friday friends. Have a good weekend.

Today was wonderful. 

I shot a Fall/Winter campaign for a local Vancouver photography business. I can't wait for the images to be released. Stay tuned! 

Now, time for a glass of red wine and a warm blanket on this cold evening. 

Fall is a'coming. 

vidi.

Kiss me hard before you go. Summer time sadness. 

I just wanted you to know. 

That baby, you're the best. 

Soak up those last summer days my friends.
