about me
Life interacts, and so must we. Without detaching, without excuses, looking into the eyes of our own existence and becoming comfortable with what looks back allows for an embodied existence. Healing our lives in small, simple steps, moment to moment, day to day, new life is always possible; like butterflies from chrysalis, each of us has the power of complete transformation. By retreating into brief periods of self-containment we allow ourselves the chance of reflective understanding. Through awareness of movement, sound, silence, and breath we are able to reveal paths of personal transformation of which we, ourselves, are often unaware.




Acknowledging imperfection and striving for her own personal truths, Shamsi's path has led her through a series of meditative, movement-driven, musical and sound practices that allow her the unique ability to reach into the depths and find that which is most important in her own life. It is her desire to share these practices with the hope and intention to help others cast off images and perceptions, molds and stereotypes allowing every individual a chance at personal truth.

I work (outside of the studio and the restaurants, etc) in and industry where the end of the year is so slow I have time to put a stick of butter on a chilled plate and watch it melt.

That being said, I have OVERLY-FREAKIN' caffinated myself...just to have something to do and then...THEN people bring in sweet pastries, put them on the kitchen table...and then leave for the rest of us (all 3 of us)... read more

Okay - so...being south of I-10 doesn't afford many chances for the viewing of snow, let alone the getting to play in snow. But yesterday morning I awoke to sneaux flurries...and the stuff was actually staying on the ground. We got almost 3 inches of snow on the ground...which is the 3rd highest recorded amount of snow in our area by the by. At any rate - I woke up, found out I didn't have to go to work (until at least noon -but then they cancelled it anyway :) and THEN Shelly & I got to g... read more

I've known more than several people with diabetes, some life-long, two people it helped take before we were ready for them to go, and now my Mom has type 2. Please help by either donating or just bringing awareness to what can be done to help fight diabetes.

Thanks,
