November 2010 NIA Student Spotlight- Regina Lapointe
Regina...What do you love about NIA?
Whenever someone tells me that they can't dance, I have to laugh. Everyone can dance! I love that Nia encourages people to dance their own dance, whatever it looks like, something I have been telling people for years. I have been dancing for all of my life and am so grateful to have found a class where I can continue to enjoy dance. I also love that regardless of what type of mood I am in when I come into class, there is an obvious shift by the end. Whether that be a period of processing emotions that may be stuck in my body and in need of release, raising my energy levels from an otherwise exhaustive day or simply becoming satisfied and at peace with the present moment.
What brings you joy?
Besides my obvious joy of dancing, I find joy in the simple things. I buy myself flowers "just because" and let their vibrant colors and the splendor of their natural beauty uplift my day. I adore blowing bubbles, especially out my sunroof. Treasure hunting on the beach for the perfect piece of sea glass is a favorite pastime, especially when my children and sister come along for the hunt. I am creative by nature so anything artistic brings me joy: knitting, drawing, crafting, and gardening. But my biggest joys are my two children, Keegan and Olivia. They are my teachers, my comedians, and my artists. I love experiencing life with them and seeing the world through their eyes.
What would you like us to know about yourself?
My most recent adventure is the relocation of our store. My husband and I have owned VIP Eyes for eleven years now and it is time for a change. We are so excited to have found a new space to shape and mold for the future of our optical boutique. We are planning to open on Monday November 8th, so we have been very busy. Our new location is in the Pine Tree Shopping Plaza at 1038 Brighton Avenue in Portland. We are currently working on a website that we hope to launch in the next coming month www.vipeyesportland.com. We invite you to visit us either online or at our new home!
