Well ladies, thanks to the flexibility of a couple of your dance partners, we will be able to dance 3 times a week in September. Because of the late start and a partial week, if you are prepaying at least 4 classes (monthly pass, not punch card), feel free to email me for your monthly rate.

RUNNING OUT OF TIME. Unless I get at least 1 more commitment for each of the 3 Wednesdays in September, we will only be dancing twice a week. If you haven't figured your schedules out yet, please at least see if you can do the 3 Wednesdays. Tomorrow is the deadline.

THURSDAYS ARE NOW ON THE SEPTEMBER CALENDAR. Only 3 days left to get Wednesdays on the calendar otherwise we'll all be snoozin' in on Wednesdays in September.

Calendar update: Tuesdays are a go in September. Wednesdays and Thursdays still need a couple of commitments to go on the calendar. Still 4 days left to get your favorite days on the calendar in September.

START THE CAR, START THE CAR. It's almost time to return to the dance floor. CLASSES START TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9. Note this is a week later than originally planned due to personal matters. REMINDER THAT I NEED 4 COMMITMENTS PER CLASS BY THE 28TH TO PUT THAT CLASS ON THE CALENDAR.

We are the cheese.

Our host studio has confirmed that we are good for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays starting in September. If anyone wants to get a jump on their September commitments (remember I need 4 commitments per class to put the class on the schedule), you can email me at [email protected] any time.

08/03/2025

Please email me the dates you want when you reserve your spots as there is no guarantee I will remember if you tell me anything in person.

Taking care of you: Celebrating International Self-Care Day

McMaster University - July 24 is International Self-Care Day—a reminder that caring for your health and well-being is something to be practiced every day, not just once a year. For older adults, self-care plays a vital role in maintaining independence, managing chronic conditions, and supporting emotional well-being.

What is self-care? Self-care is anything you do to take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. It isn’t selfish, it’s essential. And it doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Sometimes, the simplest habits can have the biggest impact.

Here are a few self-care ideas to help you feel your best:
- Move your body in a way that feels good. Whether it’s a morning stretch, a walk in the park, or a water aerobics class, regular movement can boost mood and mobility.
- Stay connected. Reach out to a friend, attend a community program, or join a virtual book club. Social connection is key to emotional health.
- Protect your peace. Limit time spent on stressful news or social media. Try deep breathing, meditation, or simply sitting quietly with a cup of tea.
- Nourish yourself. Choose balanced meals, drink plenty of water, and treat yourself occasionally without guilt.
- Keep up with check-ups. Managing your medications and attending health screenings are essential forms of self-care.
- Do something just for you. Listen to music, work on a puzzle, garden, or take a nap. Joy and rest are just as important as activity.

Today—and every day—give yourself permission to slow down, listen to your needs, and treat your health like the priority it is. Self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a lifelong practice.
