Well I have to still take it slowwwwwwwley till I see the Orthopedic surgeron on the 28th.
I still feel some pain and stiffness in my neck and well I am trying to do some stuff. After all I don't plan on sitting down for long it's not who I am. I really think the cold and rain are making me hurt some too.
But the scar is healing nicely, but I still look like a slasher victim. LOL
So is everyone else staying healthy??????? What wonderful dark things have you been up to?

I am trying to bead a new costume, slowwwwwwly of course, It's black with irridescent beads, Then I have others that I would like to do for myself too. It does inspire one to get moving. -

Re: Taking it slow..................sucks.......
Sun, January 13, 2008 - 1:07 PMI sit as erganomically correct as I can and only do it for 15-20 minutes then get up and do something else. I do stretches and such. I think I need my hubby to do craniosacral therapy on me, he is doing massage tharapy on me everyday. But Craniosacral lets go of trauma from the muscle too. I know I am a craniosacral therapist. I just can't contort to work on myself. YIKES! LOL
I have to do something...I have done small shimmies and wiggling my lower body, I won't be cleared till my next two Dr.'s appointments on Jan 28th (my hubbys B-day) I see Orthopedic Surgeon and the Neurosurgeon on the same day. WHEW!!! That's enough to wear anyone out. My scar is healing nicely and it itches, so more vitamin e for me. Both internally and topically.
So what else is going on out there?????? -

Take care, gorgeous! I can't wait to see you dance again. :) I'm glad you are not overdoing it.
I've been keeping busy. I started a beginner class but as most of the ladies are taking tribal classes as well, they are picking it up pretty quickly. The are SO EXCITED that I'm teaching them a veil routine! "Tribal never does veil" or so they tell me. :) Also, they have been making comments that they actually like doing things with their left hip as well! LOL
I'm also teaching a workshop at a Curves this Friday night. Matthew bought me membership and he did a "spa day" there.
You'll appreciate this. . . . when I told the lady I usually charge $10-$15 for a workshop she said, "Well, I don't want my clients to have to pay anything." I told her that I would need at least $50 to get me "out the door." She said that was fine and we both agreed I'd do a 1-hour workshop for $50.
Well, here I find out that she has 16 ladies signed up so far!!!!! I was like "DUH!" How could I be so stupid? From now on a workshop is "$50 for 5-8 ladies and anything after that is a 60/40 split!!!!!"
Oh well, you live and learn, huh? I was expecting these types of lessons when I started teaching but OUCH!!!! That's a lot of money I could have been making. *sigh*

Re: Taking it slow..................sucks.......
Mon, January 14, 2008 - 2:20 PMwhy do people think they can get shit for free? why dont people think our art is valuable enough to be paid for?!?! how dare she say that she didnt want people to pay anything... WTF?!?! For some of us this is our JOB..... where do people get off?? GGGGRRRRRrrrrr... ok.. rant over...
""Tribal never does veil" or so they tell me. :)"
umm..... i dunno who has been teaching them tribal but I do veil all the time... Rakadu does veil all the time.... lots of tribal dancers use veil (I know YOU know that but dang... how can these poor students be missing out like that??)

Mon, January 14, 2008 - 7:14 PMI sent Laura my personal input on her situation. Hope it helps. I said to use it as a teaser to get students for her studio. I would do 10-15 minute warm up, a few moves, cool down and stop at exactly one hour.
That way you don't feel like you sold your soul. Muhahaha!
I am not saying this to be mean or vindictive, it's just I hate when people take advantage of good people, heck all people.

Re: Taking it slow..................sucks.......
Mon, January 14, 2008 - 7:12 PMIt does suck, I know. :(
Do you have any little things you enjoy but haven't had time for in a while? Like going for a walk, brushing the cat (or dog), catching up on some good books? Maybe indulging in a couple of those a day will help the time pass more quickly for you....
Keep your chin up, Darkdove!

Mon, January 14, 2008 - 7:17 PMMiranda,
The cat demands lap time or he bites my toes, OUCH!!!!!! Also holding my smaller snakes and planning where to go with them. (breeding)
I have been taking naps too and visualizing all the great healing energy and prayers coming in.
I am also brainstorming on new costume desings and what my 2008 will be like.
I miss moving and dancing though. :~{

Re: Taking it slow..................sucks.......
Wed, January 16, 2008 - 8:18 AMI found it so hard to take everything slow and listen to my body while I was healing that stupid broken foot (actually the sprained ankle was worse than the broken bone). Man, that sucked! So I feel your pain... literally!
But...
Think of it that way: you want to dance for as long as you can so that's the best way to do it. It doesn't make it easier by much but it gives you a goal that you obviously want to reach to it keeps your patience in check...
