The weather isn’t looking great for Monday evening’s group class, and we’d really like to avoid postponing again since that would push us past Memorial Day weekend.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on the forecast and hoping for some rain—but also for a break in it long enough to hold class.

I can no longer see the false review on the Nextdoor app, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s been removed—it’s possible I was just blocked from viewing it.

If anyone who was part of that thread can confirm whether the post is truly no longer visible to the public, I’d really appreciate it.

I’m still waiting on written confirmation that the post was deleted and that no further posts will be made by this person regarding the situation.

But even just knowing this one has been resolved would be a huge step forward and help me focus on addressing the next issue.

I know it’s late, but these legal issues surrounding the fake reviews are something I have to handle after hours, and they take up a lot of my very limited personal time and energy.

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank those of you who spoke out on Facebook to correct the false allegations, and especially those who went even further—logging into the other platform where this originated to stand up for me and defend our business and the integrity of our practices.

A business isn’t made successful by the owner alone—it’s built by the clients who support it, believe in it, and share their experiences with others.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has stood with us and continues to do so.

Unfortunately, there are more false and malicious reviews to address—often written by people who simply disagree with what I do—but your voices help drown out the noise and remind us why we do this work in the first place.

THANK YOU! ♥️♥️♥️

After a long day of private lessons, we’re finally home relaxing with Brutus and letting him just hang out with us for the evening.

You want to know why it’s so difficult to promote meaningful, educational content on social media today?

It’s because we’ve allowed ourselves, as a society, to be gradually dumbed down—so much so that the most heated debates online revolve around who would win in a fight between a gorilla and 100 men.

The truth is, we’ve become far too comfortable with being entertained and distracted by things that have no real value—things that don’t matter now and never will.

And we’re paying the price for it in how we think, communicate, and engage with the world around us.
