….among a few other sweet experiences and inspirations. \u00a0And its only March 17th. \u00a0I hope you are following along with the chatter on social media as the spring air lights us all up!<\/p>\n

\"#SingleLegKick,<\/a>The “aha” message of the month is, “Sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow.” \u00a0The magic of March found me following a number of youthful beings and that will help me keep my balance going forward. \u00a0As when you follow another’s lead, it may allow you to find a new space and beginning for the creation of something different for yourself. \u00a0Kinda seems appropriate for the new birth of spring and what magic of March generally means for most of us.<\/p>\n

With the freedom of openness, I followed a #20SomethingNiece thru the city with NYC 1\/2 Marathon, a friend to her Comedy Club<\/a> debut, followed my #Almost30 niece to a Wine & Paint party, and followed the lead of another niece in Thai Yoga Massage and all before the “Ides of March.”<\/p>\n

\"20150307_165223_1\"As a teacher,\u00a0I have been participating, as have many\/most of the teachers and students of Pilates across the globe\u00a0in appreciating the inspiration and collective experience of Benjamin\u00a0Degenhardt’s brainy creation of #MarchMatness<\/a> that has taken hold this year. \u00a0The\u00a0participation of so many teachers and students worldwide this year is rather exhilerating, and really nice to experience simply being “a piece of a larger puzzle” sharing, giving and feeling the power that\u00a0#PilatesMakesYouMove each day. Not only did I choose to “follow” along as an active participant, but I started an\u00a0Instagram account<\/a>\u00a0as a result of the magic of March and the #MM2015 experience. \u00a0Delighted at finding \u00a0a few new “teacher friends” in the process.<\/p>\n

I also unlocked myself from the tradition of my Canon G7 (frankly the darn thing just up and died on me!) \u00a0But I found the joy and magic of being free to share via my #androidPhone along with a few cool digital apps – again following the recommendations of my #CrazyCool younger brother,\u00a0@MrJay22_cn<\/a> and iPhone photographer Extraordinaire.<\/p>\n

Gladly\u00a0followed his lead to\u00a0the #DharmaYogaWheel<\/a> which along with the sensitive healing touches of my physical therapists Noelle, Jaime and Kerry is going to do wonders on healing my neck and shoulder.<\/p>\n
