Thank you so much, reading your tattoo brought a tear to my eye. It’s so very true. I”ve probably heard that song a billion times but never *really* listed to it. It’s really powerful.
Right now I’m sporting a fake tat of a lobster…(ordered because of all the lovely tattoos I see on polers) I’ve always felt lobsters and I were kindred spirits. But I’m kind of wondering if that’s not such a good thing. Maybe I need to be a jellyfish or something that just goes with the waves. Weightless and free. Like how you dance. π but until I learn to just let go, I’m a spiney, pinchey, hard on the outside, delicious on the inside, lobster.
I love that you had a good time with your silks instructor. Its great to have pole buddies Γ°ΕΈββ’ especially ones who can handle a little bruising.

Day 28! Just a pic for simplicity’s sake. π

I actually love the advanced plank so I had to slip it in there. I need to work on it more though.

Γ°ΕΈββ’ love how things work out!
My puppy got out this morning because the gate wasn’t shut correctly because the lock was frozen. I’m not sure how long she was gone. It ended in tears with me finally grabbing her while BAREFOOT in a foot of snow along a busy road while a somewhat helpful woman tried to help but kept scolding me for not being more careful and meanwhile the dog is barking and my son is crying. But I’m happy the lady stopped and chased her back. That’s how we knew she was out.
It was just so stressful and terrifying. I can’t shake it. I’m happy she is ok. The lock has been addressed (and we added another lock) and I signed up for puppy class on Friday. She is good, but so playful and curious… And I guess it was a good lesson and everything is ok… But I’m trying to shake the fear and adrenaline. Pole class will be good for me tonight.
I love how the universe is sending good things your way. You trusted in the process, it’s beautiful. I keep reading about surrendering and trusting. It’s something I need to work on.
I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time poling with the silks instructor. I Bet you can even get her to show you a thing or two on the hammock if you’re showing her pole. What fun!
If I ever make it out to ND I know where I’m coming for a pole jam (and maybe even a tattoo Γ°ΕΈΛΕ)

** hugs ** I had a bit of a rough morning myself… and I really like your attitude on acceptance. I’m working on it.
Re silks: I feel your pain. I’m having a bit of a interesting scheduling bumps in the road too.
Occasionally I go to things on MeetUp.com… there are a lot of events happy hours and stuff, but I try and attend the more active ones not centered around eating fried food and drinking (though that can be fun sometimes). I signed up last week for an aerial class (silk and lyra) on Feb 1st.
Most events have like 10+ people sign up for them… This one only has me and one other girl attending! The other girl is the one who suggested and is hosting the event (her friend is teaching the class)
It’s almost an hour away… and now it turns out my husband wants to have friends (and their wives) over for the Superbowl… and while I’ll be home before 5 I don’t want to just run off to shower while everyone is here. And he wants me to help get ready.
So I asked her since it’s just us if we can move it earlier, if possible, and she has been non-responsive. Now I’m kind of thinking she is going to just cancel it since it didn’t get a big crowd. I’m certainly not driving an hour on Super Bowl sunday if the host doesn’t at least write me back. People tend to flake on you all the time with these things.
It’s a bummer because I got all excited, especially because you seemed to like it so much.

My space is not ideal. Pictures usually make it look bigger than it is. I try and make it work. It’s particularly bad in one direction. I have to plan out which ways I can do certain moves…
It works for now. But if I ever get to the point where I want to do an extended butterfly or maybe even a regular butterfly on spin I’m going to smash my foot into a wall.
Can you just set up your pole near the fan and take the blades off (if it’s the normal old kind before they started looking like spaceships then the blades usually just clip on and off. π and just make sure you don’t kick the rest?

We have a cat that hangs out in class and he only rubs on it not scratches it. Also I used to have a cat, and I just can’t imagine a cat wanting to scratch metal.
If you’re really concerned why not buy/make something to protect it, a tube of sorts…

I believe they are a good and safe site. I’ve followed them and read the blog for a while. They do not seem sketchy to me at all.
However, I’d contact them to make sure they can actually get you the xstage. Most of these places are just x-pole affiliates and dealers. They usually don’t keep their own stock of items. They just have the ability to call xpole and place the order, often times they can give you a break on shipping or something (hence the incentive to not order direct from xpole yourself) anyway I’m not sure on the exact arrangement. But I kind of doubt they have a room full of stages. My guess is they didn’t realize xpole was back ordered and didn’t update their webpage.
I’m just guessing but I’d think as soon as you placed an order and they went to try and order your stage they’d email you saying it’s back ordered. Again, I could be way wrong… But I’d contact them to be sure.

I like to pole with this lotion on…
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004F897NY/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_wl8Xub0S273PEI use it like a grip aid. Mixed results on hands, but it’s awesome for body. π

I don’t know how to help but in the video it looks like a leaf blower. Maybe someone you know has one you can borrow?

Yay rune! Happy you’re playing along! I set my phone or computer up on video and let it capture as much as I can. Sometimes I lean it on something across the room to make sure I get the while wall in. The I do my “split” then just pause the video on the point I want and screen shot it. Then I crop as needed. It’s so much easier for me not to worry about holding the camera π
