When You Dance I Can Really Love

As I went about my business in the office leaving my musical listening up to the Ipod Shuffle God I landed upon this song which had me thinking about all my wonderful friends I have met through dance and reminiscing about all the exciting and challenging times we have shared together.

So this is dedicated to all my beloved dancers out there who have had a huge influence on my life and continue to inspire and provoke me each day.

"When You Dance I Can Really Love"



When you dance,


Do your senses tingle?


Then take a chance?


In a trance,


While the lonely mingle


With circumstance?



I've got


something to tell you,


you make it show.


Let me come over,


I know you know


When you dance


I can really love.



I can love,


I can really love,


I can really love


I can love,


I can really love,


I can really love



Like a


mountain that's growing


a river that rolls


Let me come over,


I know you know


When you dance


I can really love.





When you dance,


Do your senses tingle?


Then take a chance?


In a trance,


While the lonely mingle


With circumstance?



I've got


something to tell you,


you make it show.


Let me come over,


I know you know


When you dance


I can really love.

-Neil Young

Life isn't about

waiting for the storm

to pass.

It's about

learning to dance

in the rain.

They share my desk with me and spend all day chirping

happy little melodies.

My First Ever Blog:

(!!)

One year ago today I took the first step towards a whole new adventure. I said goodbye to Wellington and see you again soon to all my loved ones I left at the airport gate and began my transition to the United Kingdom.

The mission:

To shake things up, give myself a bit of a fright with a decent challenge.

To learn a thing or two about living life and

discovering what really is the dilemma which is Emma.

Nine months into living in London and travelling Europe

I'd say I was succeeding.

My anthem song:

The song that fills me with the courage and confidence to be

an empowered woman living life walking tall.

The song that creates bubbles of excitement inside me

to strive to always be the

Creme De La *Em*

"Suddenly I See"

Her face is a map of the world

You can see she's a beautiful girl

And everything around her is a silver pool of light

The people who surround her feel the benefit of it

It makes you calm

She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see

Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world

You can hear she's a beautiful girl

She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white

Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember

What you heard

She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see

Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most

And she's looking at me

I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine

Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower

A big strong tower

She got the power to be

The power to give

The power to see

Suddenly I see

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see

Why the hell it means so much to me.
