Last night, I went to my Tai Chi school’s year-end potluck.
It felt like stepping into a place where my whole system became calm.
I skipped one term while I was in China, but next month I’m going back.
And honestly?
It feels like returning home.
My friends noticed my new haircut and said I looked prettier.
I guess what they were really responding to wasn’t the hair —
it was the energy beneath it.

✨ A Surprise Waltz Lesson
During the party, a waltz teacher showed up and taught us a few steps.
The music… the elegance…
it felt like my whole body woke up.
A friend looked at me and said:
“You’re a natural.”
Maybe I am.
Or maybe I just love dancing —
Zumba, Tango, Tai Chi — all the ways my body speaks when words aren’t enough.
There are so many things I want to learn:
more Tai Chi forms, more dance styles, deeper fitness —
and only so many hours in a week.
But I’m learning to choose the practices that balance my Yin and Yang,
the things that keep me anchored and alive.

✨ A Quiet Realization
I noticed something yesterday:
I socialize in my Tai Chi school.
But in the gym? I don’t.
I am a social person,
But the gym environment can have… let’s be honest… drama.
And ever since I was a child, I keep distance from people who likes drama.
But in Tai Chi school?
People:
• help me with my forms
• correct me gently
• support each other
• move with calmness
• don’t compete
• don’t gossip
• don’t perform
• don’t pretend
It’s clean energy.
It’s grounded energy.
It matches me.
I am looking forward to going back there for my Taichi and Qigong learning next month. I know it would take me 10 to 15 years to get somewhere but again,
I am on my way.
There is a saying “踏上取经路,比抵达灵山更重要”
The transformation that happens on the path matters more than the moment you arrive.
No rush.
No pressure.
Just step by step by commitment and actions 😜
