Future training

I'm trying to decide what classes to take next. I'm wondering if anyone reading has a preference about techniques they like a therapist to know. Please comment.  I'm thinking of taking a cranio sacral class, or medical massage, or perhaps a reflexology. I'm curious what skills people like a massage therapist to know.

Pole canyon

This weekend was so wonderful. I learned so much an it was such a pleasure to work with Alanna at the ride. My only disappointment was nit getting out on the trails at all but it was so great to facilitate everyone else's rides that I didn't hardly care. Maggie had a great-time riding with other juniors until she had to pull due to Dixie having a sore back. Then she had fun in camp and taking photos with Jim. Alanna made her weekend allowing her to drive her mule! Robin Timmons came along to share gas and ride safety which made the driving miles pass quickly. Thanks to all the competitors who were kind to this first tome ride secretary. I'm ready to do it again at the Christmas ride.

I was thinking that it's good that Elaine has already committed me to managing the Scamper. After this weekend I might have been to afraid of all the unknown factors.

Long time no blog

I realized the other day that I hadn't blogged in forever. I never mean not to blog but I get busy with life an forget. I think of something I want to write about bit then I realize that I don't have time that moment and I seem never to come back to it.

I spent this weekend at a drum training and just had a blast. I learned about frame drums, hand drums and other auxiliary instruments. I found that I was especially interested interested in the tambourine (pandiero). I was told to search for lessons on you tube and have already been rewarded with some minor skills in that area. I had no idea tambourine could be so much fun.

I can hardly wait to take level two and then later level three. Bill Matney and Mike Marcionetti have done such a great job on their curriculum.

Devil Woman

One of my clients keeps asking me for the song Devil Woman. Since I have had great success getting him to talk more and even sing a little singing songs like Proud Mary, I decided to add Devil Woman to my repertoire.  Maggie and I were dancing and carrying on to the song.  And just in case he was actually asking for Evil Woman, I printed out the words to that too. I figure it will make him very happy.

I have a new client who likes Motown, so I am being stretched musically. This is a good thing in my mind. It's fun to learn new music. 

Dusting this space off

I have recently started a fan page on Facebook and decided it was time to dust this space off. Since I do both music and massage therapy, I thought I would use this space to talk about techniques and interesting work that I do, and invite comments and suggestions from others.  Please join me.
