How to manage the changes you might want to make to get the best possible start: “Each New Year brings a promise of better opportunities, and we find our selves inclined to make new resolutions to ‘fix’ what ever we did not the previous year.

Once we feel balance we can let go of control. When we dance we allow ourselves to feel what off balance is like. This is the dance of life, falling and falling again. When we accept this pattern of falling and catching ourselves, then we are in accord with the natural pattern of life’s ebb and flow. It is very freeing to let oneself go.
