Birthday Month Fundraiser & Back to "Normal"

 Hello everyone! It's nearing the end of Chiari Awareness Month, and it's been pretty darn successful if you ask me :) my birthday fundraiser I do every year raised well over $200 in less than 24hrs and I'm so grateful for that! I personally choose to donate to the Bobby Jones Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation for SO many reasons, and they always take donations year round, so feel free to check out their website at bobbyjonescsf.org to learn even more!






As of Sept. 9th, I'm officially back to work in the dance studio, feeling as normal as it can be :) we are following all of the CDC and government guidelines and everything has gone so smoothly with no complaints that I've heard of. It's so so good for the soul to be back with my students working hard and creating again. It has been tough on my conditions to go from quarantine to working again, basically having a full 6 months off, but I think in another 2 weeks, my body will be all adjusted again. 

Not a lot has changed this month symptom wise. I have had a lot of brain fog and concentration problems, but the ever changing weather was a lot to blame for my cognitive issues this month. The wildfire smoke definitely didn't help either! SO glad to have clean air again :) 

As amazing as it was to have resting time, I'm very grateful to have some sort of a routine again. Still pretty afraid of all the germs and the virus, but I'm doing everything I can to protect myself. I will talk to you all next month about any other updates! Thank you for always being the best support system!

That was the day my life forever changed.  Here we are now, March 28th, 2021, five years later, and my life is no where where I expected or thought it would be that day when I was 19 years old sitting at Swedish Neuroscience Institute at Cherry Hill in Seattle, still a dance major at Cornish College of the Arts. I don't like thinking about that day in detail, in fact when I do, I feel like I become a different person. The past few weeks leading up to today felt very different than in years past.  On March 17th, I was lucky enough to be able to get my second dose of the COVID vaccine and I feel SO relieved which brought a lot of emotions up for me. My anxiety has eased up a small bit and a weight has come off my shoulders. It's been a year since this pandemic hit, and I've never been more aware of my health then ever before.  Yesterday, my dancers had their first competition in almost 2 YEARS. COVID took away all of our competitions we were schedule...
