Zingari: A Culture of Cirque

Lone Star Circus - Zingari - Mina Frannea

Review of Lone Star Circus’ Zingari

An intimate theater setting, performances that defy gravity and artistry that captivates the imagination – that’s what Lone Star Circus brings to DFW locals with its annual holiday cirque productions. My family and I saw Zingari opening weekend and had a great time.

Paying homage to the Gypsy roots of many circus families, including Lone Star Circus founder and creative director Fanny Kerwich, Zingari brings to the stage an amazing cast of international and local circus artists. An eighth generation circus performer, Kerwich is passionate about sharing the magic of the circus arts and has helped grow Lone Star Circus into a much anticipated attraction with a loyal following that grows each year.

Do You Have Trouble Finishing Things? New Year’s Resolutions

New Years Resolutions

Setting and Achieving your Goals

by Kathy Garland

Have you ever wondered why people make New Year’s Resolutions and goals and then give up a month or two later?

There are many reasons why this happens but we are going to focus on one that will make a huge difference for you in your ability to reach your goals.

Hopefully you had time to rest, reflect and regroup after the holidays. If you are starting the year with an energy deficit, to develop a practice of completion increases your mental energy and helps you tap into more of your personal power.

Completion unleashes new energy to give you the focus you need to reach your new year’s goals.

Ideas for Helping Others During the Holidays

As the holidays approach, parents are busy planning for the time off, meals, and fun. Families are thinking about how to spend their time. Most families enjoy an array of delicious food with choices like turkey or ham (or both), cake or pie, stuffing, rolls, etc. For other families, there may not be as many choices because personal challenges have limited their ability and opportunities for holiday fun.
