I never thought I would be someone who started a blog, but with all the opinions, inspirations, experiences, ideas, and irritations that life has to offer; having a virtual canvas and an undefined audience to share with has a sense of appeal.  So here is the beginning of what I am sure will be an adventure.

Milton Keynes

Sep 28-Oct. 4 I’ve come to realize that I really appreciate English parks.   They definitely know how to have communal space.   This site has a coffee house, gym, restaurant, challenge course, mini golf, playground, boats (there’s a lake), running trails with exercise equipment, and plenty of green.   It is awesome! This week we are in Milton Keynes, moving closer to London.   Further south means warmer weather. Yay! Alistair even went wakeboarding throughout the week-he was stoked. We also got to use the “guest bedroom” this week.   Oliver, a friend from the states came to visit and watch the show.   It was fun getting to share this side of circus with a performer from home, and pretty great catching up with a familiar face. As awesome as it is here, I do miss my Seattle people. The Lone Tree I am still trying to work on an act, but am having trouble finding time to train aerial and trapeze and trampoline.   I...

A New Journey: Discovering the Mind and Body through SOMA

On a farm out in Buckley Washington a rooster crows, cows tend to new born calves, and a feisty little old woman named Karen gathers her 7 students in a yurt, to begin their journey. Last spring I had the privilege of going through SOMA ( a specific type of bodywork treatment that targets neuromuscular integration).   After years of going to chiropractors and therapists for back pain, this treatment truly changed my life. Not only did it correct many of my posture problems and get rid of nearly all the pain I had experienced for years, it also reached much deeper into the psychological and physiological patterns that were affecting my body and my life.   After experiencing the profound changes it has had on me, I decided this was something I wanted to bring to others, something I wanted to understand more fully. Every emotional and mental thought we have, everything within our conscious, is directly related to and interconnected with our physical body.   Ev...

Lincoln-the last week in England

The best of England: Tea, Toasties and Tarts Nov 4-17 Lincoln-a thoroughly uninspiring city, this last stop in England did not warm my heart. November announced itself with bitter cold and pouring rain.   The ground outside our caravan and in the tent quickly became a muddy disaster.   As dreary as it may have been, I found a warm reception at a pub down the street.   I have found it interesting how different pubs in England tend to be.   In the US I think of pubs as cheaper, dirtier bars, but in England it's more like walking into your living room.   There are comfortable chairs, usually a TV on, and everyone is kicking back and talking after work. It’s casual and cozy, and if you happen to bring your own pizza and ask for tea which is not on the menu, they’re fine with that. The owner may even come over and tell you his life story-or that might be just what happens to me. Going back to basics on trampoline (super successfully) On the bright...
