I am grateful for the ability to do a variety of tasks and accomplish significant objectives according to my priorities. It may sound dry but this is FUN to me! What makes it even more fulfilling is to have a partner who is of like mind, body and spirit. Have you ever been with a person for a significant amount of time who didn't match your approach to life? They might have even pooh-poohed your dreams directly or indirectly?
Six months ago, my brother Ben said, "Kay, you need someone one who is your MATCH." The way he put those words and the timing was perfect. Within 24 hours my match appeared and his name is Raymond Velasquez. We've been together ever since. He is super supportive of my dreams and the actions required to make those dreams become a reality. I deeply admire his wisdom and insights.
Most recently Raymond told me about the 'one-inch-punch' made popular by famous martial artist, Bruce Lee. When done correctly the practitioner uses his fingers, knuckles and wrist to deliver a 1-6 inch blow equal to a VW Bug crashing at 30 mph. Imagine the practice, determination and passion involved in developing the skill to deliver the one-inch-punch. This little factoid floats my boat because it inspires! Raymond is an inspiration.
Speaking of large forces, this year will close with a big bang as my first Year Long Hand Analysis Certification program concludes at the Academy I opened in June 2010. Two eager, passionate and determined students, Marti Brasovan and Kristy Hatton, are on target to earn their certification in December. I'm so proud of them and joyously welcome them to the world of Professional Hand Analysis!
I'm also grateful for the encouragement I received from so many people to embark on the monumental endeavor of opening my Academy. Since opening I've created hundreds of pages of curriculum, taught over 200 hours of course content and it's been a huge and deeply rewarding success.
My dream is becoming a reality because of the many students who have completed my introductory Hand Analysis course. The intense 21- hour course is not for the weak-at-heart. It is a content rich, deeply insightful course that requires warrior-like attention to complete and to USE.
And this is just the beginning!
It's true, the more grateful you are, the more you will receive to be grateful for. What a life!
