Autumn update

Update posted by samantha emanuel

Dear friends, I am sorry for the long time span between this and the last update. I've been drowning in paper work and rehab, lawyers and bills. I won't pretend its been easy the last few months, as it hasn't ... It's been hard and I would rather be honest. It's not over yet. But this too shall pass and it will get better.

Trauma recovery is a strange beast, I can go from feeling totally fine and getting all the things done to the littlest thing triggering all kinds of emotional backlash.

Went to see my doctor last week and he has prolonged my sick note to December when we will have another look at the lingering muscle/tendon damage that is limiting my capacity when I try to dance.

So I am going to ease my back into teaching very gently. Today I teach my first class since January 23rd. Im nervous. Im excited to move with other people. I wonder if I will remember how. I am starting with an easy one hour movement class, and one dance class per week. I need to build my stamina back up, ready for workshops in November/December.

Despite the lows I have got my new website built and launched (with the help of http://design.ninabosanac.com) and I am starting plans for a new on line instructional project. Baby steps. Exciting times ahead.

I thank each and every one of you for your support since the accident. Thanks to your continuing donations I am able to invest in training to further my skills and improve what I bring to my workshops. I have enrolled in multiple training programs, some on line and some 'en live'. These programs will help me to recover my confidence, my strength and my capabilities as a teacher to provide the best possible service for my students.

Please continue to share the fund, as I'm not quite out of the woods yet.

Love

Sam
