Hello again!

It's been a year and half since my last post. Amazing. What is also amazing is my last post was a few days after I tore my ACL. And SO many things have happened since then. Let's see if I can sum them up: Taiwan. Family. Homesick. Torn ACL! Shock. Fear. Depression. Support. Life goes on. Living. Moving. California. Oakland. Berkeley. Emeryville. Nutrition. Stimulation. Learning. Cooking. Inspiration. Openness. Surgery. Recovery. Friends. Love. Playing Capoeira! Teaching. Nutrition. Capoeira. Self doubt. Working. Biking. Falling. Vistas. Seeds. Beginnings. Continuation. Striving. Balance. Happy. That's it. The last 18 months in a few words. I have been inspired by my dear friend Celia to write again. To share my experiences. I’ve moved to the Bay area with the intent to build community. To live in a place and be supported by those I encounter in my day to day. As I move ahead with nutrition and with teaching Capoeira, I often am my own worst enemy. The self doubt that sometimes plagues my mind. Who am I to guide people? But I feel the draw, the pull of work that is greater than myself. Of something that is about connecting people, and creating a force that is positive and sustaining for all who are involved. Then there is the call to “market” myself. To brand myself. It doesn’t feel genuine, and perhaps that won’t allow me to be successful, or to make a living wage out of what I choose to do. Hm…. we’ll see. But hello again, to those of you out there. Looking forward to sharing more, and to hearing from you too.
