Beginnings

2014 was a very interesting year for me that brought many challenges. When things get hectic it is easy to lose track of where I am and what I am doing. Frantic coping can easily become the norm if I don’t keep to my mindfulness basics. I try to begin anew everyday but after the crazy year I just experienced, I am looking forward to Chinese New Year to really clear the slate.

I love Chinese New Year. My sense of family and community is never greater than it is at this time of year. It is definitely a time to remember the awesome people I am surrounded with and the privilege I enjoy, all because of kung fu.

“Remember tonight … for it is the beginning of always.” - Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321)
