Steppin' Back Into The Studio

Tonight I had the chance to step back into the dance studio and sub 3 Ballet classes. Can I just say what a treat it was!

I haven't had the chance to teach in awhile. Having Cohen in October put me out for the 2011-2012 season but I was thrilled to have the opportunity to step back into the studio tonight.

Teaching tonight made me realize just how much I miss my work. Not that I want to be away from my children (because I love them) but it's a special time when I get to feel like me again. I get to put my years of training to good use and share something I love with little girls who love it too.

It's so amazing to see how students look up to you and listen to the corrections you give them. To see them try and succeed. To see them develop a love for something that I am so passionate about.

Of course I did come home to a crying baby- who simply refuses to take a bottle...sigh. But those 3 hours were just the pick me up I needed. We give up so much for our children that it's nice to have a little reminder of who you are and oddly enough for me going to work is where I am reminded of this the strongest!

Honestly I feel so blessed to have a job that doesn't feel like work!
Where do you find reminders of who you are?

Happy Leap Year!

Cheers- Jordan
