Early entry to burning man if you offer me a ride.

Hey lovelies.....For the first year ever I am able to make it out to burning man.....I only have one teeny problem....I could really use a ride. I am all set up with my camp and my stuff even has a ride there. Just not my body. If you want to give me a ride, you will get early entry to burning man, help with gas, get to know me better and know that you were there to help Planet Chai and its workers safely make it to BM. By this I mean you will be a pilot car either leading or following the chai truck out. We will leave on Friday August 22 and we plan to leave on Tuesdays after it is all over....We however can leave earlier than the chai crew....so if you are interested in this journey....send me a message!

My first burning man

After the years and years of wanting to attend burning man and not being able to, the year has finally come that I get devirginized. How fun to be a virign again at 31. Ha ha! so I am looking for any good ol advice on the whole situation but mostly looking for some used items...
.I could really use a playa bike...something you took in the past....maybe upgraded....maybe not going this year?
Old fun clothes you aren't going to use? ready to trade or donate?
shoot anything used from a past bm I guess. i am "trying" not to break the bank here. let me know if you have anything that may be useful or make my trip more fun!

I wanted to share with who ever is interested a rather big accomplishment in my personal pilates world. I just recently got certified to be a Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist. My studio Sacred Bodies Pilates (in Eureka) is now offering the Pink Ribbon Program and is a Pink Ribbon Program certified center. I will be offering classes and one on one instruction to those who are in their post operative phase of breast cancer. Completing this certification was a desire of mine for a couple of years and I am very pleased to be able to offer this work to my community.

Join me for my birthday on tuesday

My birthday is coming up on Tuesday July 1st.....I wanted to invite friends to come celebrate with me.....If you are feeling it I will be at the Pearl on tuesday night after 9 pm. Stephan DJ Ragnarok is going to be spinning some tunes for us.....and probably something interesting up on the big screen. Hope to see ya....

I thought i was good at this....

I thought after all that have moved onward into another realm, leaving me here with questions, memories, and a strong desire to live this life, that I was good at this. I thought I had a handle on death and how to grieve, how to help others and how to let go. I have let go of numerous friends that I considered family and my first true love.....yet....
This one rocked me deep. Maybe because I am learning so many other lessons about letting go of those that I love right now. maybe "trying" to let go of him and having to let go of you is too much..... it hit me so hard. I am speechless. Bam! two nights in a row rocked to my core.....you have to let go!...made to rethink what I believe, what I feel and what I see....
I have so many strong images of us sharing deep eye contact and really feeling eachtoher, listening when it felt like no one else did. taking the journey on the middle of the dance floor to say.....actually I feel like SHIT....thanks for noticing and letting me feel it. thanks for giving me permission to feel like shit.....and go there and then spiral back out of it just as we spiraled into it.....
I am here with you now Josh.....I fuckin miss you already....I will see you when I spiral!

the river

the journey to the smith river was absolutely beautiful. The sun shining bright into the window warmed my skin and heart and brought such a joyous smile to my face it never left. solitude....on this journey with you back to one of my spirit places I have neglected to visit and sit with for so long. The sounds of the winds in the trees made music through the windows and our conversation minimal, just enjoying the presence of one another on this blissful day. How I had forgotten how much I love traveling north, the many lagoons, rivers and ocean views along the way are breathtaking and each different passing by through the window took me back to a time in the last 10 years that changed me. over and over again.
crossing the bridge to the south fork of the smith brought me way back to living there and sitting with this amazing free flowing river day after day. learning.
climbing down the vast rocks to a swimming hole I felt it again. that physical sensation of being so close to something so powerful in my life....I dove into the freezing snow melted water. the water was high and flowing fast and had NO mercy. Upon entering the water my lungs constricted barely letting a breath in and a strange deep yell out....I wasn't sure I would be able to get my freezing cold, now bright red body out of the water. It took my breath away....this freezing water. Yet it cleansed me and for a moment allowed me to feel my deepest self. without anger, without pain, without fear,.....Just me.......being........like Jim from my childhood. cool, calm, collected, independent and free. Naked sun kissed and rapid cooled.....we both smiled enjoying being......here.....now.....in the sun......in the river.....on the rocks....in paradise.

New Studio Space

After 2 years of having my pilates studio in a small office suite space, the time has come to expand. Sacred Bodies Pilates just got a new home and I anticipate opening up in the new location the beginning of May. the schedule will continue as is in the current space and should smoothly transition over. I will be re-locating to 525 E street eureka between 5th and 6th streets. Classes will allow for a few more students so if your curious come check it out.

anyone who is interested in helping in the transition, painting etc....please contact me. I could use some help and support for sure. Love to you all!!!!!
