Hi.

Welcome to my new-ish blog.
I write about a mish-mash of things, whatever takes my fancy, when it takes my fancy. I am working on consistency though… 2022 is my year, right!

I don’t think I’m anyone special, I do love a good story though.
I firmly believe we all have various chapters in our lives that we progress through. We can’t skip pages, each one we turn reveals something new.

I just want to share some of my story without being a slave to providing content or trying to influence anyone about anything.
My opinions are my own and this is my experience, nothing more.

I try to read a lot, usually have music in the background, and I’ll break into spontaneous dance if the song is a good one.

I practice what I preach: kindness and coming from a place of love. I’m a gentle soul for the most part, working on self love, healing, and growth.

I’ve removed a lot of content from over the years giving the website a refresh, keeping things relevant, and building upon new knowledge and experiences

I hope you’ll stay for a bit and enjoy reading me.

Thank you.

The last few weeks have been such a blur of busy and will culminate in a Performance Party tonight which has a Girl Power theme.

Lesson five and six were about nailing the choreography for our up-coming graduation celebration. It's not compulsory to perform but I think most of us are going to throw caution to the wind and give it a burl. Hell, we wear the worlds smallest shorts and tank tops in front of each other, throw ourselves about poles each week - slide off ungracefully and don't bounce when we hit the floor... and we laugh, and sweat, and groan, and laugh some more.

The ladies of Level One will be doing our first public'ish performance to our peers, friends and invitees from other pole studios. I am beside myself with excitement and beside myself with nerves too. You know when you're grinning really stupidly from joy and feel like you're going to pee yourself at the same time, okay, welcome to my world!

During the past few weeks I haven't able to stick with my Saturday morning poling class and have taken make-up sessions on other nights, so I've seen most of the Level 1'er ladies. I can honestly say everyone is incredibly friendly, still a bit shy but definitely friendly.

Being exposed to the other instructors has been interesting too. Some of the choreography is a little bit different with each instructor but I think that's not a bad thing. I've been able to pick and choose which ones suit me better, the main moves are the same it's the finishing flair that differ.

So this week has seen everyone receive their graduation certificates and a nice little certificate album to put them in. I will admit to puffing up with pride holding mine, I didn't cry but inside I was definitely fist pumping the air that I achieved this and I did this for me.

Me sitting in the middle of the floor... see my first pole certificate!

So tonight's performance is causing a bit of anxiety, and a lot of excitement. I don't get out much on my own. My social life consists of being the Soccer mum, the Futsal mum, the Dance mum, the School mum, the corporate wife... you see a theme here. I'm there for others, for my family, and I enjoy it when I am, but this is for me, about me, benefits me. It's just me, me, me really and while I'm nervy I am so excited.

Poling and the poling people I have met so far have been unbelievably supportive, embracing, nurturing, kind, gentle, sweet, quirky, and a hilariously funny group of women when you get past the shyness. I am in love with this community. I feel awkward calling myself a Poler Dancer because I am still so new at it but it fits and it feels so nice to say, "I Pole dance".

I'll get back to you and let you know how performance night goes, but I should warn you I have bought a padded Wonder Woman costume. Yes, it was a last minute rush. In hindsight as I stood in the mirror looking like Wonder woman the Sumo version... I thought I should have ordered a sexy super hero costume weeks ago, but that takes organisation and knowledge. Last week I only came into the information that Polers love their costumes and many have actual costume cupboards. Well, I'm up for that. I always wondered who bought those sexy numbers, now I know.

I have apologised to my Poling group in advance for tonight's costume and for looking like Sumo Wonder Woman, but if nothing else it'll get a laugh and it's a bit of fun. Just hope the police don't pull me over... hahahahahaha!

As us Aussie's say to wish the best of luck to a performer about to go on stage CHOOKAS girls, CHOOKAS!
