Even if this is the start of the school year, I feel as if summer is still here when I look at my life this week. I have so many fun memories and ways of keeping the love in my life during the work week. There is never a break for me in terms of feeling like I have lots to accomplish. But this year, at least, I pledge to make each day a learning "fun" day. What I did in New York, reminded me that I have much more to accomplish this year. Last year, I admit I was feeling frustrated; my leg was not to full strength and I was ready to concede my practice was not fully engaging. At this point I am no longer ready to concede that this is the case. Sometimes I feel that the schedule doesn't challenge me enough, but I am proud of being an Early Childhood educator. Having a separate performance group and the musical reinforces my creativity. I am very excited about CAD this year; that is where I plan to use the NDI training almost exclusively. It will be easier to incorporate and will give me a head start on how to plan choreography. I always second guess others approval (or lack of respect, in my perception) but I must remind myself feeling is not reality.
