Us “Artsy” types..

A few years ago, one of my student’s parents was commenting about someone she knew. She said, “You know how artsy people are? Well, she’s an artsy type. No offense. “ I smiled and nodded, but inwardly- I was thinking- Huh? No offense? What did she mean by ‘no offense‘? I’d been called many thingsContinue reading “Us “Artsy” types..”

Wine and dogs 1. Exercise 0.

Sooooo I started the current virus quarantine thinking- Wow, I’ve got extra time to actually get a workout in after 5am for a change! What I didn’t reaaaallly think through was the fact that I also had more time for other things. Like eating. Drinking. Watching Netflix in yoga pants until my butt made aContinue reading “Wine and dogs 1. Exercise 0.”

Social Distancing Cocktail Club

Due to the recent virus, many of my students bailed on their lessons yesterday (even the ones who Skype- really??). I found I had been suddenly blessed with even more time on my hands than usual.

Introduce Myself?..

Sooooo I’m a bellydancing southern harpist who enjoys alcohol and loves dogs. Why did I start this? Because Covid-19 had me housebound and worrying about life in general, when I suddenly realized- I was stuck at home with everything I’m passionate about. I’ll be 20 lbs heavier when the pandemic passes, but I’ll be reaaaalllyContinue reading “Introduce Myself?..”

Remote working ..

Today, I worked from home with Motown blaring in the background as I sifted through spreadsheets. I wondered if this pandemic business would last forever and found myself pondering whether or not I should get that masters in enthnomusicology for the 100th time or get a bartending license. Here’s the deal – I don’t wantContinue reading “Remote working ..”
