    How do I know so much about circus arts, you ask?

    I have a lovely friend that I met through my “day job” who is a fantastic dancer. She has been doing ballet and jazz since she was a little girl and in recent years has gotten into aerial arts. As we got to know each other better, she told me I should try it. She kept telling me how much I would enjoy it. It started as a fun little girly after work plan to go try a lesson.

Excitedly and anxiously. I started writing about 2 years ago as a creative outlet and flow practice. It was therapeutic to quietly craft something, especially since my primary job was quite active. I’m a pediatric occupational therapist, and my “Peter Pan syndrome” tends to make me a hit with the kids. I think it also facilitates my storytelling.
