MCHG

This is the time of year where we all struggle with the mental game behind Irish dance. It’s a daunting thing sometimes, but I promise that it WILL get better.

We all have our moments where we doubt ourselves. Just yesterday I had to mentally tell myself to snap out of it. Don’t let one second of self-doubt take away all the hard work you’ve put into training these last few months. 

Don’t do that to yourself.

I want you to look in that mirror. I want you tell yourself, “I got this.” Because you do! No matter the journey, the preparation or the emotions, you’ve GOT this.

This’ll be the last post I make before my Oireachtas on Nov 11. To all my Western Canadian girls: I’m proud of you. I’m proud of your time, passion and commitment. But most of all, I’m proud of you for doing your best and I can’t wait to see you all stand on stage next weekend.

To all the other dancers out there, I just want to say good luck as your prepare for your respective Oireachtas! 

Let’s do this! ❤️ 

Artist’s Temporary Decaying Art Brings Enchantment To The Forest

British sculptor Andy Goldsworthy is known for his phenomenal and temporary, installations which involve using natural elements, ranging from sticks, stones, leaves and twigs and anything that grows out of the earth. Sharing a special connection with the land ,which he celebrates in all his sculptures, Goldsworthy shows the world that nature cannot be contained, but only its beauty can be held on a canvas for precious few moments before the land recalls what it once grew.
