I’m the one you saw running along the trail with a beaming smile to give you a high five.
I’m the one who did the dance with the apron that made you gasp audibly. I’m the one who told you what celeriac was when you asked yourself at the grocery store and didn’t know anyone was listening. I’m the one you barely knew who sat next to you on the bus, looked you in the eye, and listened to you as you shared your deepest passions. I’m the one who organized the performance of The Vagina Monologues that raised thousands for the local domestic violence shelter. I’m the one who lived in a yurt through the Wisconsin winter. I’m the one who listened to you when you started to cry "out of nowhere" and then held you until the sobbing passed. I’m the one who was wearing the white dress in the acrobatic theatre performance that made you jump to your feet at the end. I'm the one who inspired you at Camp Grounded; the one you deemed a super hero. I’m the one who was leading Tai Chi in the park on that rainy spring day. And I’m the one who smiled when she did the ice plunge for the first time. Yes, that was me. I’m Nicholette. Depending on where you met me, you may know me as Nico, Nikki, or Ninja Mouse. If we haven’t met, then… Hi. It’s nice to meet you. I’m a performing artist by trade, a lover by nature, and an adventurer by spirit. I teach, dance, lead, play, coach, organize, flip, collaborate, listen, climb, advocate, emcee, and partner. I do all of these things in service of love. I am dedicated to the cultivation of a joyful, peaceful, open-hearted, and fearlessly expressed society. |
