24.6.2008 I feel it in my heart beat! What a relief… We're completely Madonna'ed out. We dance to it before practise, after practise, when studying, when eating…she's groovy!…over and over again! I was very nervous this morning about my final class teaching, a full counted class, on my own, adjusting, controlling the group…Most is fine but the numbers can often throw you out and lately every time I focused on the count John said my voice was like an e...

21.06.2008 Who is the master and who is the slave? I'm completely Madonna'ed out. I went into Nelson with Anandi and Jamey, both great fans of Madonna so we let loose blaring Madonna's latest album. Anadi did so well to dance and drive at the same time, I think she was dancing more than drivingJ She has pretty funny lyrics when you really listen in, "master or slave" is one of them. It kind of made me think whether we are the masters or slaves in our...

20.6.2008 Adopt a tree, make your mother proud! 6.30pm Hmm, everone is in a chaotic mood. All of a sudden there aren't enough days in the week, nor enough hours in the day.

19.6.2008 Who wants to be shot by a rabbit? I love Inke's little quotes and this one was yet another classic. Today we decided to take the Pearl (Juan's car) to Kahurangi's for coffee as we got totally lost in the fields yesterday trying to walk there. Anyway we headed for Ariel's cottage afterwards and had a girlie chatting session. We talked about all those very important things, food, men, yoga, men, travelling, men, work, men… As we talked about what our...

19.6.2008 Wow what a morning It's only 10.30am but most of us have been up for 4-5hours. We experienced one of the most amazing mornings at Stillpoint. The ground was completely covered under frost, white, a clear blue sky...and as the sun was rising at 8am John came in teh shala with excitement. "did you see the moon?" and had us all out in the cold, in bare feet, watching the full moon set. And right opposite was the the red sun rising. We all stood...
