Oh The Places You Will Go

I write this from California, watching hummingbirds feed and Teddy the Corgi frolic in the yard. It has been a productive weekend consisting of a Zen retreat followed by networking with some of my martial arts mentors and heroes.

 I can't begin to describe the immense gratitude I have for the people that kung fu has brought into my life. The paths we choose . . .

 "I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door." - Marla Gibbs (b. 1931)
