Hello there, you.

How are you these days? What will you be up to this weekend? And what are you looking forward to during the coming week? Feel free to reply and let me know!

So what's going on here these days?

Well.. Spring finally arrived. Reminding me that as long as there is life, there is hope. Always.

"You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot detain spring”

“Podrán cortar todas las flores, pero no podrán detener la primavera."

A quote I loved this week. - Pablo Neruda

And.. My favourite Magnolia Tree is blooming. Finally!

This tree is planted in front of the building next to Master Chae's Dojang.

It always lifts my spirits to see it bloom. Feels like it's officially spring.

I love it so much that I keep blogging about it every year.

Here is this year's edition.

Next to that.. in the past 2 weeks I have:

Failed a test (yup!)
Gone on a nostalgia walk with my family (see picture below)
Taught two groups of Taekwondo kids (it was tough! lol. I'll be doing it again next week - any tips are warmly welcome!)
Learnt a bunch from it all (and still learning every day)

Right now though.. I am typing this update (right?) and I am running a bit late.

Why?

I went live 3 times today for dance (our Friday BOOST Dance session, a free-for-everyone Bonus Wings Wrap Combo FB Live and a spontaneous - inspired by BOOSTie questions - Basic Fan Veil Tips IG Live Sesh) - and honestly, I love it.
I had a much-needed stretch afterwards (taking my own advice, for once)
Then I got a bit.. distracted (it happens!)

And now I am rushing, because I want to finish this newsie AND watch 'Let's Dance' - the German version of 'Dance with the Stars' together with Mr E. We will also have pizza. Yess.

As some of you know, this is my favourite TV program EVER (well, maybe next to Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock haha.. Love that intro tune.. you are welcome) What touches me most about it - next to the dancing when it's good - is the evolution some candidates go through in just a few months time. No matter which level they are at when they begin, when their mindset is right, they SOAR. Gives me hope.

It's never too late.

Also, there are so many darn commercial breaks these days that I get to do other things, too:

So.. Do you watch Dance with the Stars/Let's Dance, too? Does it have the same effect on you?

Let me know!

Last but not least, I REALLY want to tell you about all the things I've been doing/pondering the past 2 weeks (it was.. a lot. see above) So I'll most probably write about it in my blog in the coming week.

AND.. I will of course also share it in the next newsie edition.

Until then.. Topics to ponder (for you and me!) the coming week:

Failing.. (and learning, growing wiser, adding skills because of it)
Being in the moment (or tips on how to get there)
Doing things that scare you (and the good that can come of that)
The importance of life (and truth, and freedom, and art)

-> Do YOU have personal stories (or tips!) related to these topics? If yes, feel free to share them with me in reply to this email! (I might create a feature in the next edition with your replies)

Last but not least.. as always:

A big big THANK you to you for reading this far. A huge smooch for my BOOSTies.

And a bonus hug for you (yes, you) if you needed one today.

You're the best. Just as you are.

Thank you!!

xx K.
