write a book
Got started! 6 months ago

Wrote the first three chapters. Hit some snags and got bogged down for a while… but I’m going back in!



learn to belly dance (read all 2 entries…)
Time for an update 10 months ago

Wow, I wrote that last post 3 years ago!

Now I’ve been to Cairo, saw dancers, studied. I’ve also opened a studio where I teach bellydance and yoga, and I perform regularly at a restaurant and at private parties, nursing homes, art shows and other events. I also produce an annual student show.

This has taken over my life, but I still love it!



backpack through Europe
Great experience! 19 months ago

Went with my daughter to Spain, France, and Italy. Get a good backpack and comfy shoes and learn at least a little of the language everywhere you’re going. (Hello, please, thank you, that one, how much).

Hostelworld.com was a great help in planning the trip, highly recommend them!
