Adult Figure Skating - Practice Makes Progress

 Although I still love dancing...I decided to go back to figure skating. I did it when my kids were little and then took a hiatus for dance. I love that I'm back into skating, it makes me happy to be on the ice and getting back into great shape. Plus, I get to create fun costumes/dresses and skirts!

 Jumping, spinning, edge work and moves in the field are challenging but I love it. Every time I get another skill that seemed so hard just weeks ago, I'm reminded that it's worth all the bruises, falls, and sore feet.

Although this isn't technically art, it's still artistry! Creating choreography, picking music, and designing costumes let's my creativity blossom. You must always do the things you're passionate about! 

 

Norah Jones Live Set Practice

 Hey everyone!

I've been busy with guitar practice! I love playing and singing and I'm working towards being able to do an hour long set of songs that I can play and sing well. It's such a great hobby and it brings me so much joy! I love that I'm able to do things that I never thought I would be able to do, I remember when just playing a G chord was a challenge. Now, I can play bar chords and switch between different chords with ease. Finger picking is coming along as well.

Norah Jones is one of my favorite artists and has been since I first heard her smash hit "Don't Know Why." It's been quite the experience learning her tunes, she has such a soulful voice and her bluesy riffs are epic! It's been a pleasure to study her music. I'm excited to see where I'll be in the coming years.

Cheers to learning!
