  Thank you Johnny! :0) The idea was inspired by the BP education monthly theme & was also my first attempt at intentional movement. So it took me a few to get my "rhythm" and have it come out as I was picturing in my mind! Glad you enjoy the result! I appreciate your comments and your congrats! :0)
