September always feels like a threshold. The light shifts, the air changes, and something within us asks to be seen, honored, and nurtured. Just as the seasons transform, we too are invited to transform—softly, gracefully, and with intention.

In the flow of life, there are seasons of celebration, reflection, and renewal. This summer, I celebrated my 71st birthday in New York, dancing salsa and bachata, walking the vibrant streets, and soaking in the joy of being alive. These moments reminded me once again of my secret to staying youthful and radiant: movement, community, and the sacred pause.

There’s a natural energy inside every woman—a powerful, intuitive force that often gets buried under daily responsibilities and routines. But it’s still there, quietly waiting. When you move your body with intention, not to perform, but to feel, you start to reconnect with that part of yourself. That’s your Shakti.

In the sacred rhythm of life, there exists a dance—a movement that flows beyond technique and performance. It is the dance of the Divine Feminine, an energy that lives within every woman, waiting to be awakened, expressed, and honored.

I find myself reflecting on the depth of love, resilience, and devotion that this month has brought. Love, in all its forms, has been my guiding force—especially the love I hold for my family.

At 70 years old, I stand at the threshold of yet another new beginning, feeling more alive than ever. Time has not diminished my spirit—it has refined it, sculpting me into a woman who moves with grace, wisdom, and a deep trust in the divine flow of life.

Gratitude is more than a fleeting feeling—it’s a powerful force that can inspire, heal, and connect us with our divine feminine energy.

As women, we have a unique gift: the ability to harness our feminine energy to remain youthful, healthy, and vibrant. Through intentional movement, travel, and self-love, we can unlock our inner glow and face each day with vitality and purpose.

Living my dream was to return to the art of dance.

The Sacral, second chakra when healthy brings comfort, pleasure, romance, desire, beauty, ingenuity, passion, affection, style, sexuality, indulgence, sweetness, creativity, art and so much more. How cool is that??

I remember how that once a week dance class immediately started to change my outlook on life.  Going to work each day became easier and easier mostly because I no longer let the issues at work get to me.
