The Art of Pivoting

Finding Balance

It’s been pouring rain here in North Carolina for several days. POURING…no sun. I spent these wet gray days shining some light on pivots and pivoting and I saw so much. 

I went looking for an image to bring a visual element to this blog thinking I would use a photo of a ballerina on point. Then my Pandora station of music from the 40’s and 50’s played Gene Kelly’s “Singing in the Rain.”  PERFECT!  He gleefully and elegantly pivots on the lamppost in the pouring rain. Then I realized the whole movie is about pivoting! Hollywood needs to pivot when talkies overtake the silent movies. I invite you to read this post and then watch Singing in the Rain and then read my thoughts on pivoting a second time! 

This is a long post and probably too short as well. I had never thought about pivots and pivoting before. I discovered so much and found new understanding. Fix yourself a cup of tea, get your journal out and actively contemplate the pivots of your life. You will learn much about your life.
