Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving! In this week of reflection and thanksgiving I am grateful for the many opportunities I have been given to experience the facets of love. I woke this morning to the essays that follow below. They were the catalyst for the thoughts you are about to read. It has been a year filled with gentle invitations to explore love and even more revealing – to feel love. As I reflect in this moment, my eyes have found the last leaves of Fall – withered and crafted by the elements of nature, they cling to the snow covered branches outside my window. What if I was that last leaf of Fall. What if, the wind was love and once again it sent out a quiet whisper to the leaf.  A gentle invitation to simply…let go. To the leaf- One day soon you will choose to take me by the hand, you will find safety in my presence and we will fully embrace-to dance and play. With wild abandonment,  you will connect and …

Welcome back to all of our returning participants who have been away over the Summer and Fall!  It was great to flow with you again. Time is moving forward quickly- I am in denial that November is here!  I am forever grateful for your presence in my life. And, I am always looking forward to sharing a little bit of my heart with you each week. As life gets increasingly busy during this time, let me invite you to consistently create time in your day to slow down to listen to your heart-the greatest gift to yourself is to dedicate part of your day to self care. You are worth it! I wish you all good health and peace throughout the holiday season.

Each Wednesday, Dawn Nader has the opportunity and the pleasure of re-introducing elementary and middle school children to the art of play! Dawn is independently contracted to facilitate group movement activities during PE classes at Acacia Academy Private Day School for Special Needs- LaGrange Highlands, IL. We’re having a great time playing together! Today’s activity (Noodle Hockey) is quickly becoming a student AND teacher favorite!  Each smile has the power to create change for the good.  A smile is a drop of water falling into a pond.  It’s ripples traverse the surface carrying love that reawakens the heart. You can never go wrong when you lead kids of all ages back to love.  Love for yourself. Love for others.  Love for your community. Love for this beautiful day!  You want to become the best version of yourself-find your smile. My goal is simple…improving the condition of the human spirit one breath at a time.  Fall in love with the moment. Fall in love with play. Are you a kid at heart deep inside?  Would you …
