The Winner Is…

If you haven’t had a chance to read the poetry that was shared in the com­ments, make sure to check it out and leave some com­ment love for the brave poets!  Read more

Write a Poem for Mrs. Tanksley and WIN!


As most of you know, before becom­ing a life coach I was as a mid­dle school English teacher. One of my favorite things to teach in my class­room was poetry. I espe­cially liked teach­ing my stu­dents about writ­ing poetry. My bag of tricks was filled to the brim with inter­est­ing prompts and activ­i­ties that I col­lected over the years, all designed to bring out the poet inside each of my stu­dents. Read more

Be Exactly Who You Are (the music video)

When I cel­e­brated my one year blo­giver­sary with The Blog Song this past February, I was delighted to receive sev­eral emails from friends say­ing that their young daugh­ters really enjoyed my goofy pro­duc­tion. And that gave me an idea for a new music video. So this one goes out to all my “lit­tle sis­ters.” Read more

It’s been a while since…

we’ve played a game around here! How about some group scav­enger hunt action today? For those of you who are newish and haven’t par­tic­i­pated in one of these before, it’s pretty sim­ple.

If you can’t claim any­thing, let us know that, too! Read more

Sweet Feet!

It’s time to reveal some seri­ously sweet dance-y feet! Major, major thanks to all of my par­tic­i­pants. What a fun, clever, cre­ative com­mu­nity of peo­ple. It’s so darn cool to have you all in my world. I had an absolute blast edit­ing all the FOOTage together. Read more

Don’t Forget to Cut Loose… (FOOT loose).

Happy Saturday, my lovely friends! This is just a quick reminder/request to send me a short video of your danc­ing feet. I’ve received a very small hand­ful of AWESOME videos, but I don’t yet have enough FOOTage to cre­ate the project I’m envi­sion­ing. I’m not above film­ing my own feet over and over in dif­fer­ent shoes and dif­fer­ent loca­tions to make this thing hap­pen, but it really would be so much cooler to have YOUR feet involved.

Dance-y Feet

When I was a lit­tle girl, I would often get in trou­ble for tap­ping my feet and mak­ing too much noise dur­ing church. One time, when my mom asked me to stop tap­ping, I responded by say­ing, “But my feet feel so dance-y!” Many years later, my feet still wanna dance. How about you? Are your feet feel­ing dance-y? Well, I hope so because I have an invi­ta­tion for you! Read more
