Not the end, but the beginning

Congratulations to all the new Sifus!  A night like last night is truly a night to remember - it marks the beginning of your journey.  You have set a high standard for yourselves, and your hard work, dedication, and discipline have set the pace for the next group.

 

It's important to remember where you started as a white belt, and to keep that path in front of you.  You guys have grown in so many ways, and I find it so inspiring.  Keep up the fantastic things you have been doing!

 

I want to thank everyone who made last night possible.  Without all the help, and expertise it wouldn't have been the fantastic event it was.  Your efforts did not go unnoticed.  And another thank you to everyone who made our silent auction possible... You all make me proud to be a part of Silent River Kung Fu.  

And now back to your regular program, while I sit back in my recliner, sicker than a dog.  

 

Change

There has been some significant change in my world lately.  For the most part, I can take change with a grain of salt, but there were several changes at once lately that were more challenging than I thought. 

 

The major stuff has been taken care of at this point, but obviously there will be some residual effects to get through.  What I noticed though, was how my lifestyle helped me to get through.  Daily pushups and sit ups, and the planning for our Chinese New Year banquet have been vital in keeping my sanity.  

 

As long as I have Kung Fu, I have a strategy to deal with change.

 

It's here!

My project is now live...the only part I need help with is your stories. My project is a new blog to document all of our defining moments in our Kung Fu journey. Please read, and please add your story too. (right now, you will have to send it to me until I figure out how to let you post directly).

Thanks!

A New Project

It's coming very soon...I will post it on my blog here, and on kwoon talk. I am excited about it, and hope you will be too. I hope to have it up and going by the end of this week...

Happy New Year.
