Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
It isn't often that one is given the opportunity to use one's creative energy in a way that isn't predominantly self-serving, but when the opportunity arises, boy, is it a nice thing! A desire to create change in My Fair City, fortuitous introductions and (almost) indefatigable optimism are conspiring to change my life in big, happy ways!

It takes time...
Someone asked me recently if the new studio took up more of my time. I had to explain that I'd love for the new studio to take more of my time, that I'd love to have more time to give it. I love being in the space; I would love even more if the studio could be the first place I went in the morning to begin my day. Right now it's a challenge to balance The Day Job and the energy it requires (some days it takes more than others...) with The House, The Dog, The Friends, The Other Commitments... with the time I'd like to be working in The Studio.
I realize that, in the grand scheme of things, I've only been there a few months and have done quite a lot of settling in. There are currently two activities, Tai Chi and Bellydancing, that are using the space, with more to come. But I get impatient, and want to go-go-go and do-do-do (and it's odd that those 2 words don't rhyme...). Learning, in many ways, to appreciate process -- damn it!
