I almost didn’t go. But somewhere between learning the steps, trying to follow, and noticing everything happening inside me, I realized we bring so much more than our bodies onto the dance floor.

How dancing alone in my living room helped me reconnect with my body, rediscover joy, and inspired the song Living Room Ballroom.

I thought I was driving into the mountains to find a lake. Instead, I found a patch of wild daisies, a slower way of living, and a birthday that quietly changed something in me.
