Hi friends. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the login info of my old email address and can’t login to tumblr any longer - there’s nothing tumblr support can do for me. I weirdly remembered that I was still logged into my iPad and was able to type this. I’ve had this blog since 2009 and it’s honestly brought a lot of goodness and growth into my life as weird as it may sound to say. This is the end of partofmeistoxic/sweetorangewhispers. I’ll follow ya’ll on the new blog I will create lovies! Thanks for all your sharing, the conversations, the listening, even the in-person meets! See ya’ll around. Stay awesome xo

When you finally get those full splits in all directions…. You get that feeling in your body. I still have some biomechanical/alignment issues because my right hip is tighter than my left, but it’s about progress not perfection ;) Now to apply this in anti-gravity space, while maintaining control of the hammock (minimal rocking) and making smooth transitions. Time to shift focus to balance and core stability. Ah! Kick boxing is kicking my ass, but helping all my other movement from aerial to yoga.
Also, phone I know that the volume at that level is not “healthy” but if I’m choreographing something, I need to feel it in my bones, ya feel me? #needgreatspeakers
Iman on her relationship with David Bowie. (via dangerous-muse)“My marriage is exactly as fabulous as you all would think.” She grinned.
”We have dates, you know - we’ll go to a museum, then we’ll have a long lunch. That’s what’s interesting, that’s what’s exciting.”
”First, you fancy each other - that doesn’t go. It might take different forms, but he’s good company. He’s funny, he’s engaging, he’s whip-smart, he’s interested in diverse things. It keeps on evolving - it doesn’t stay sedentary.”
He still ties her shoelaces at times, and still buys Iman her favourite flowers on the 14th of every month: the anniversary of the day they met.
As for their relationship at home: “David doesn’t fight, He is English, so he just stays quiet. I’m the screamer. Then he always makes me laugh. It’s like cabaret. I keep him entertained too.”
“I still fancy him, totally, after all these years.”
“He has managed, somehow I don’t know, miraculously, to have my heart flutter when he walks into the room still. So, yes he’s definitely the one, he’s definitely my one.”
“‘I am not married to David Bowie — I am married to David Jones. They are two totally different people.’
“It was so lucky that we were to meet at that time in our lives, when we were both yearning for each other,” says Bowie. “She is an incredibly beautiful woman, but that’s just one thing. It’s what’s in there that counts.”
What’s “in there”, Iman confesses, is “the wonderful realisation that I have found my soul mate, with whom sexual compatibility is just the tip of the iceberg. We have so much in common, and are totally alike in a lot of things”. It’s not a love of music, or fashion, or the fact that “like David has his feminine side, I have a masculine side”, she insists, but the more old-fashioned values: romance, family, commitment.
Bowie on their relationship says, ”I don’t have that sense of loneliness that I had before, which was very, very strong. It became a subtext for a lot of things I wrote.”
“We work hard at keeping the relationship alive. We talk to each other continuously. We have complete and absolute faith in each other.”

And I’m learning so I’m leaving
And even though I’m grieving
I’m trying to find the meaning
Let loss reveal it

You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.Nietzsche
To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the breaking of the bread.James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time
Eye of the needle.
Soul rip.
Soul crack.
Letting light in
a sea of darkness.
Soft movement;
Surrender at the
peak of the breath.
Movement is my muse.
Dance fueled by pain.
Look at those demons,
face to face.
Empty.
Empty.
Empty.
Followed by a
Rush.
A rush of
everything,
at once.
Feel it all.
Within your body.
Against gravity.
Find the beauty
in surrender,
Warrior.
Between this breath and the next
there will be a space
where all the knowing in the galaxy
resides.
It hides in plain sight,
a cave of glimmering jewels
in the dark silence of the void,
Visible to only the most
faithful
and the faithless who are
ready to let go and
see.
That insight you crave?
It’s hidden in the cave.
You simply need
space
to
breathe.
N. Moodley
