It was a good week. We got sales at work, held classes at the dojo, and kept up with the dishes and laundry.
Then tomorrow it's over to Two Pitchers Brewing to table for @autonomouspress.bsky.social.
If you're near Oakland, come by 2pm - 5pm. There will be several presses there.

I've been thinking more deeply about functioning labels and how they can be useful, as long as we each define them for ourselves. Then it becomes about goal setting and optimal participation in our lives.

It's been a good week. We stayed on top of the dishes and laundry, donated clothes to the local shelter, and ordered zafu for the new black belts at Aiki Arts Center.

Ofer Zur was a real Get it Done person.
He could take an idea and run with it, and learn a ton in the process. And in doing so, he generated energy and momentum for the next project.

I'm convinced after years of experimentation that tidying up our exercise habits, our thinking habits, and our communication habits are all tied to each other. When approached with focus and intention, these three areas can become powerful and effective.

We had a beautiful youth class today, with sticks and mitts. And I had a dream with all the elements of a Sensei nightmare (huge class, late, couldn't figure out the gi and hakama) though with a totally new sense. In a joyful and expansive manner, the class went on, with inclusivity and purpose.

It's a good day. We sold seven projects at work this week and I started the morning with strength training.
The past twenty years of forays into bar method, cross fit, yoga, and pilates have yielded really interesting movements that can be done anywhere.

It's so fun teaching kids again after a five year hiatus. We rolled down the big blue mat at an incline, practiced strikes on the red mat while counting in Japanese, and forgot to use the sticks. Next time.

Ofer Zur insisted that he live fully, and that the rest of us do too. He had bravery in spades and did not suffer fools gladly. He believed in the power of our choices and our ability to learn. These are themes to embody every day.
