Classesare regularly taught to house and top 40 music. A few weeks ago, on a Saturday evening leading up to Christmas, Ballet Lounge was packed with dancers along with their friends and families, as Suzy hosted her first-ever Christmas showcase.

After a couple of nervous breakdowns, Suzy made the decision to stop dancing. However, she had started working out at the gym while she was training as a dancer. And she began to hear the fitness world calling to her.


Suzy eventually moved to Vancouver with her boyfriend. She had previously visited and had fallen in love with the city, especially the Yaletown area. When she first taught her Dance Fusion class at the YWCA in Vancouver, 50 people showed up for her first class. She quickly went from teaching one class a week to 17 at various community centres and gyms in the city.


Realizing that was the perfect name for her studio, Suzy quickly Googled it to make sure no one was using it yet. The next day, she bought the domain name, called a lawyer to trademark it, and reserved the name on all social media sites.


In our aspiration to be successful, we must ensure good health and a solid mental state. We must also ensure a well-balanced emotional state by remaining focused in life. Meditation cannot be understated, as it serves as a support mechanism to help clear our minds before we begin our working days in earnest. By focusing on what is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good stance, virtuous and praiseworthy, we create a vision for the common good and also improve on our problem-solving skills. This mental stimulation does not only improve our focus in life but also has create wellness benefits for our health. The best result comes with consistency through diligence. We must note that failing to exercise our mental muscles regularly leads to atrophy. By utilizing the untrained and underused side of our brains, the same area where creativity sits is crucial for success.


Wellness empirical research studies, including one by Emmons and McCullough, suggest there is indeed an association between gratitude and wellness. Simple therapeutic exercises in psychotherapy practice including journaling, have been proven to help enjoy many wellness benefits, one of which is good sleep. Wellness activities including meditation, enhance marital harmony and bliss, as well as building stronger parental bonds and trust. Meditation as a wellness activity helps to overcome negative tendencies and create a sense of purposeful living.


There is this power of conscious choice bequeathed to the individual on the journey to success, wealth creation, healthy bodies, and minds, as well as the ability to build a legacy. Imbibing the principles of personal mastery is accepting that as an individual, we can learn and make choices that transform us and move us closer to success as defined by us, for us, and our context. Some individuals can manage this journey on their own. Others work with coaches, mentors, and/or accountability partners. All in the bid to expand their level of awareness that allows them to make the conscious choices for change and success.


We reminded ourselves that, in our aspiration to be successful, we must remember to live. Success is not a destination or endpoint for a competitive race. Success is a journey and mindfulness of the present. Notwithstanding the turbulences we may experience in our lives, meditation, together with consciousness of and commitment to our complete emotional and physical well-being will ensure that we have a calm, fulfilling, and deeply satisfying living experience. We felt fulfilled to have made the time in the year 2020 for a retreat. It paid off. So my friends, let us find our paths, or get on the discovery journey alone, or join with partners to grow meaningfully. Make that choice today.

Over three years after writing this post, the internet rewarded me with the true answer to my questions about this hat. It was not made by Madame Suzy of Paris, it was made by an American company headed by milliner Sylvia Whitman Seigenfeld. Her daughter Suzy has filled me in on the story.


I love hats, but they are not my strong suit. I bought this one purely on the strength of the sporty design, though I knew I had heard/read/seen the Suzy name somewhere. After several days of searching for information and reading, I imagine I recalled her name from the pages of Vogue and Bazaar magazines of the 1930s and 40s, as her work was often used in their editorial pages. Finding good, solid information about her has proved to be a bit difficult.


All that information was a good starting place, but it was incredibly short on details. Continuing on, I found an interesting hat at the Antiquedress.com site. It is a bonnet, identified as 1890s, with a Madame Suzy at 5 rue de la Paix label. Interesting, as several sources, including the V&A one have the label starting in the 1920s.


By the mid 1930s, Suzy must have been well-known to American women, as I found hundreds of references to her and her new styles in various US newspapers of the time. There were American stores selling adaptations of her styles. Then, when WWII came, Suzy left Paris, and ended up in New York, making and selling her hats. With the end of the Occupation, she returned to Paris in 1944. In the post-war period, she continued traveling to the US, in an effort to help re-establish the French fashion industry.


My mum was the doorman. She took your 5 entry and convinced you to buy as many raffle tickets as your purse allowed. If you walked in without paying, my mum would find you, tap you on the shoulder and probably manage to get you to pay a little extra to cover your embarrassment! She would also help draw the raffle prizes (which incidentally she always managed to win!)


This was my first experience of death and the rollercoaster of grief. Coming from a Jewish family, my mum was buried a day after she died and during that first week my dad, sister and I were swept up in a constant stream of people coming to visit us with food and love.


My mum was such an important part of my Blooming Great Tea Party that it was too painful to imagine doing it without her. I was aware of the irony though. My experience with death made it too difficult for me to help a charity that deals with death.
