WOW!!! new year and new arial!!!

Hello everyone! it has been a long long time since I have last updated you. So many things to talk about. First of all, This last year has been quite a roller coaster. A good roller coaster. I am no longer a Utah Jazz Dancer and I sure miss the girls and performing. I had way too many things on my plate and agenda that I just couldnt do it all. I picked up a full time teaching job at the studio where I teach. I love it! I am directing many companies and Im really excited for our girls this year. We have so many dances and different things going on for them they are staying super busy.

Along with that I decided to do another pageant. The Miss Mount Olympus pageant. It was back in October. I was not going to do it and I decided to do it again becasue I love what this system has done for me and my life. I am so greatful for it and all the positive impacts it has had on me. I have a new platform though ( service) that I am working on and have been excited about.

I am debating on a few life decisions that are coming up soon. I am done with school and trying to decide what to do now. I want to travel the world! Cruises, study abroad, Dancing LA!!! auditioning for all that I can. I am a little frustrated right now because I havent had much time to get a good expereince at these things. But I am excited to finally get the chance to do them soon. I really want to go to Africa. I just need a sponsor to pay for me to go. hahah Just kidding. I am researching organizations and places to go so that I can be safe and sound when I leave. I really want to meet the people there and find a love and passion for other cultures.

I am still dancing each and everyday with a company called TamJams. I love that it keeps me motivated and moving, trying to keep up your dance skills at my age can be a tough thing when there arent many older classes to take. I jsut love dance too much to give it up! I have been volunteering at a couple places teaching the children dance and they absolutely love it. I spend five to ten hours a week doing this and it is so rewarding when you see the kids faces. I have learned much patience and love for these kids.

I have also started this new fitness program! I am changing my eating habits for life!!! I have seen a huge difference in my body and the way I feel becasue of Stepping Stone Nutrition. Thanks to a lady I work with who introduced it to me I can now stick to healthy habits all my life! instead of being on a diet!

FRIENDS! 

new beginings!

Well, It has been a few too many weeks since I have written on my blog. I have so much to talk about. It has been an eventful summer so far. I went to Miss UTah, So ready and able to Win. I was prepared and so grateful for the peace that I felt for the love I shared and for all the great people that I was able to spend time with. I had a great group of girls we called ourselves sig what? SIGMA! thats right we had a cheer. I had a great hostess who cared so much about how we felt and how were were doing. She was perfect for me because she was so positive and uplifting with the light she carried. I did well in all the aspects of competition at least I felt good about it and that is all that mattered at the time. In the end it was a little frustrating and disappointing to find out that It wasnt going to be how I wanted it to be. I think it was a huge learning experience for me. I knew I was there for a reason, I knew I met the people I met and worked with the girls I worked with for a reason. I felt like I was able to impact all of them in a positive way and hopefully inspire them to be who they are and to stand true to that all the time. I think that is so important in life for us to stick to our guns and be ourselves at all times. 

Now it is time to move on, to decide on new things and to adventure new avenues in life that I have always wanted to do but havent done yet. I have a bucket list of ideas and hope to accomplish those ideas or goals. First one is to continue dancing but to travel and dance at the same time. I have a thought to audition for a cruise line and dance on a cruise ship for a while. I have never been on a cruise and I love to be in paradise and work while doing it. Hopefully to save some money that I dont have:) I also hope to continue with school and finish my degree but also go back and get a masters if I can stick thru it. It will be alot of work and time. I would love to start cycling. My dad is really into biking and he rides his bike all the time. He has tried to get me to go and I just havent had the desire until now. Most of all I want to play. I know we all do. But i would love to travel and go to the bahamas, europe, africa and do service projects there, australia, asia and everywhere else. Too bad its not so easy to jump on a flight and do it with no costs. That would be the life. I am excited to explore and to start some new things in my life that i hope will take me farther and be able to create more to the person that i am so far. 

It is hard to overcome those road blocks in life. When they get thrown at you,  is even harder, we may not understand them or overcome them very easily but it is the Climb that we learn from and grow from. As Miley Cyrus says and sings. I love that song!!! says exactly what I need to hear. So anyway, I hope to enjoy the rest of summer and try some new things. 

As for this week, I will be going on vacation to Cali! yeah!!! haha I love the beach, listening to the ocean move and laying in the sand. I hope to go to sea world too. Yes I still have the kid side of me in me! I will never grow up as I made a promise to my dad that I will never grow up past six years old. It is a little joke between me and him. So Ill post some pics after that vacay! until then... farewell!

teaching dance

      I am a  dance teacher and we have had many competitions this last few weeks. My girls are amazing. It amazes me that little kids can learn so much and grow so fast in one year. I have had so much fun watching them grow up and seeing how they change over the year. They have improved imensly and I am so grateful for a job that i love to do. I am happy that i get to make a difference in the youth lives around me. 

They work so hard and so long for many hours a week. I did that when i was younger i was dancing all the time no matter what and i loved it. It takes a lot of hard work and passion. I know that we all have a passion for something and are able to continue that passion through out our lives. At such young ages they are able to cope with the stresses of life and be able to discipline thmeselves enough to stick to something they truly care about. I wish that all of our youth were able to have these kind of opportunities and see what talents they truly have. 

AT competitions my girls have done very well. They have taken first, and over all in many places and are able to get high point awards. As you see the hard work pays off. IT is all worth it in the end if we can learn to push thru it and stick to it. 

LAst JAzz GAme

I am a little sad to say that it was my last game on THursday performing for the JAzz for this season. I cannot believe how fast time flies by and where the year goes. The game on Thursday is different than any other becasue it was a playoff game. Playoffs are completely different from all other games. The excitement of the fans and people that are in that arena, almost every seat is filled, they have fireworks, and it is crazy! Not only that but we were able to win the game with a very slim shot....

The whole game was amazing I thought. We performed a new dance that was so much fun for me to dance because i really liked the song we danced to. I have definatley learned alot from the Jazz and especially the girls on the team. We have all become pretty good friends throughout the year. and It will be hard to not see them for awhile. it will be different and I will not know what to do with my free time! oh wait.... Yes i will because i always have to be busy so i will find lots and lots to fill my free time with not having practices.

We had a competition today and the girls I teach did amazingly well. I am so proud of them with all that they have accomplished this year and how far they have grown and how much they have improved. I think that is the best thing about being a teacher is seeing your students grow. It is always so much fun to teach them and definately it is a learning experience each and every day. But thats why it is so fun! Dance is crazy1!!

This is the last week of school and then finals!!!! hoooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

inspirations!

HEllo!
Well I have some inspiration tips today. I have been on a little positive role assignment. I need to think positive, be positive about myself and start to see the positive in the life of mine.
I have started to do some things that have really helped me to be that positive person we all like to be.
I just wanted to share something that I think would help others look at their own self in a postive manner and start to believe in who you are and what you stand for.
Never ever believe anything negative someone says about. lifes too short to dwell on the negative things in life. We cant please everyone right? YEs we like constructive critiscism... but that is different than being negative nancy. I have learned in the past couple weeks that things can be so tough, we were sent here to go through the tough times, not only go thru them but being able to learn and grow from them and when we can see how to do that and the things that we experience through that then we are able to become better as poeple, and all around discover the perosn that we really would want to be in this life.
We need to surround ourselves with happy things, postive people and enjoy all the happy moments and experiences that we get to experience. we need to live in the moment and enjoy that moment for what it is and what it offers us, becasue if we dont then we have just let something pass by in our life, that maybe we couldve benefitted from. I have done this so many times, I look to the future, I want to know answers for each little thing, i get caught up in what is to come, or what will happen that I dont live in the moment of now! And what that moment is, how i feel at that time and place. Remember life is too short, to hold back, to think negative, and to dwell on the tough and rough times. it is so easy to forget what it is all about, to say poor me poor me. Take a second and think of what that does to us.... does it make us happy? do we become better people? no! we end up being worse or feeling worse than what we were before. So a little tid bit of advice from your little friend here that has been through it all, has experienced the ups and downs, has looked to the rough, has said oh poor me, but has also lived in the moment, loved herself and has given it all i got...... BE YOURSELF! AT ALL TIMES, IN ALL PLACES AND IN ALL THE THINGS YOU do! discover you!!! discover the person you want to become and become that person, for if you do then everyone else will love you that much more, but most of all you will love yourself for all that you have to offer. and then if you do those rought times and negative things will not impact the person you are!!!!!
