ok.

There's something really magical about coming home for the first time in awhile.

There so many obvious changes, but at the same time, nothing different. You fall back into those same routines, yet some things have staggeredly changed.

There are moments where I think "Why on earth did I leave all this?" and others where I think, "Thank goodness I left this".

Alas, this is the predicament of this life.

However, this holiday season, I'm so thankful to have the time to come back to my family, friends and some roots. Stepping back and seeing the world from this angle really solidifies what I'm doing now and how far I've come.

There's still a part of my heart here - and for that, Kelowna will always be one of my homes.

Just a thought.

PS I'm off teaching all over the Okanagan this week!

Humming this to myself as I'm en route to the airport. See you soon Kelowna!

A couple weeks ago I was cast in perhaps the perfect gig for me - performing in a flash mob for the Canadian athletes from Vancouver 2010, London 2012 and potentials for Sochi 2014.

After this past summer interacting with the athletes over social media, it was amazing to meet them in person. I also had the chance to say hello to the legendary Brian Williams and trade dance studio tips with Vancouver 2012 bronze medallist Joannie Rochette.

Needless to say, that was a day I will never forget.

Check out our performance here:

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest 

appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them." 

- John F. Kennedy 

The past week has been incredible and has offered some once in a lifetime opportunities. 

Holding this quote close to heart.
