Our yards are 3 years in the making...developing, cultivating and growing. This past year, as you'll see, we've planted the back-backyard under the Douglas Fir and Pine. It feels richer, fuller and more lush. Our garden is like a fun, rich treasure trove!

Rose madness begins. This bush just grows ever bigger and lovelier each year. We have her all pruned and propped up. Once these blossoms start they just keep coming!

Wondering if any of you know someone who enjoys marketing and who could possibly help a small business like mine grow with effective advertising? Someone who knows what works and how to make advertising work both via social media and other outlets. Thanks for mulling this over! IM or email me: deborahbirranegottakeepmoving@gmail.com

ZUMBA® for PD (those living with Parkinson's Disease)
Don't sweat the steps, just sweat (or glow) and make the dance your own!

A 17 minute dance cardio workout. We begin seated for 2 songs and then rise to stand for the next three. Always an option to remain seated and continue to dance!

If any movements are too fast or too big, adapt the movement to suit your body in the moment. The most important thing is you are moving FOR YOU and you keep on dancing on!

A poem by St. Augustine. Happy International Dance Day!
By St. Augustine
I praise the dance, for it frees people
from the heaviness of matter
and binds the isolated to community.
I praise the dance, which demands everything:
health and a clear spirit and a buoyant soul.
Dance is a transformation of space, of time, of people,
who are in constant danger of becoming all brain,
will, or feeling.
Dancing demands a whole person, one who is
firmly anchored in the center of his life, who is
not obsessed by lust for people and things
and the demon of isolation in his own ego.
Dancing demands a freed person, one who vibrates
with the balance of all his powers.
I praise the dance.
O man, learn to dance, or else the angels in heaven
will not know what to do with you.
DANCE: Waking Dreams (by John Wilson) and photographed in Philly as a guest to Anne-Marie Mulgrew's annual concert in...hmmm, maybe 2012(ish)! Time flies...

Be prepared to stop for FUN! Maybe you feel the same way but if I don't get up and MOVE, I am more tired and grumpy at the end of my day. Zumba, yoga, a walk outside makes me feel like me again! And, you, how about you?

Check out my Youtube page for a variety of free classes (anywhere from 5 -40-ish minutes)...you have options! ENJOY!

"Spring grew [...] and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps." ~Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre)

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO BE HEALTHY AND ACTIVE?
Is it your overall health?
Health prevention?
Your love of others and to be around for them?
Is it your bucket list you'd like to do and experience?

What would motivate you to try a yoga class or a zumba class? What stops you from reaching out to try a class on-line or in person? What's the worst thing to happen if you tried a class? Hmm....right! The best is about to happen!

Just ponder it, but don't wait too long!

A little focus here on our abdominals and our legs. How many of you sit for long periods of time?? I hear the replies: Me!! Let's counteract all that sitting and create some strength and some mobility. We need balance in all areas of our lives and in what we do for exercise. So here is your mini-workout.
