GALVANIZE: Book recommendation: "Your Embodied Life"
Hi, Galvanize family!
My dear friend, mover-motivator-dancer-choreographer-creative leader Kelly King, has written a new book: Your Embodied Life: A Field Guide to Joy. Please consider pre-ordering today from B&N.
The book publishes March 24th; but, pre-sales have a huge impact on new authors making best seller lists. I'd love to see Kelly's book make a mark.
About Your Embodied Life
Movement and mindfulness combine to awaken joy, spark curiosity, and deepen people's connection to themselves.
Your Embodied Life is a quick-start guide to cultivating daily joy through simple yet powerful mindfulness and movement practices. Part inspiration, part workbook, and part gentle invitation, it blends storytelling, research, and reflection to support real-life change.
With relatable anecdotes and easy-to-follow prompts, this guide offers a grounded entry point into mindfulness—whether through quick movement breaks, reflective writing, or full-body awareness practices.
Each chapter offers space to pause, breathe, wriggle, and integrate—encouraging a fuller, more joyful way to move through life.
Take a deep breath, wriggle, and begin.
Endorsements
Thanks for your time!

[Unicum] Re: Magyar Helicon Bal Toronto, Canada- Marcius 28, elsobalozok jelentkezzenek!
Kedves Baratok,
Kuldom a torontoi Helicon Bal meghivojat. Most lesz a 69-ik balunk. Aki szeretne elobalozni jelentkezzen. Csatolva kuldom az informacios anyagot.
Udv.,
Zsuzsanna
Hello,
On behalf of the Helicon Ball Committee, I would like to thank you for your support of the Helicon Ball and our initiatives with our Helicon language schools and our efforts in supporting and developing our younger generation. The Ball is a great way to celebrate and honour our past while also enjoying an elegant evening with old and new friends. The arrival of the years debutantes is always a special occasion and the support that they receive from their escorts and families is amazing. These young ladies will be talking about their debut night for decades to come. Their parents will also be talking about how proud they were to have been a part of such a special evening.
Hopefully we can count on your support and attendance again this year on Saturday, March 28th 2026 at The Old Mill Guildhall Ballroom in Toronto. In order to get the hall minimums in on time, we are asking for people to please return their orders and pay for their tickets and donations by our first ticket deadline of January 26th which is the last day to guarantee your entrance into our early bird draw for several great prizes. If, for any reason you cannot attend the Ball but would still like to support our young people, you can think about donating your ticket to one or more of our younger attendees who might otherwise not have been able to afford to come. It's a great way to pay it forward and ensure the future of the Helicon Ball.
Orders can be placed on Eventbrite with credit card (they have service fees) or for no fees you can e-transfer to heliconpayments@gmail.com - info on our website.
Thank you again for your support, we look forward to seeing you March 28th 2026.
Sincerely,
Tom Gauder and the 2026 Helicon Ball Committee.
