Coming Together

This year’s International T’ai Chi Chih Day proved to be a busy one in Albuquerque. The day began with the accreditation of 15 new teachers followed by the traditional TCC practice at the New Mexico TCC Center. At noon, it was standing-room-only-attendance at a local favorite East Indian restaurant. The day concluded with a birthday celebration potluck dinner for Justin at the Center. The beauty of all of this activity was how each event was separately coordinated, and yet they all flowed together. Ann Rutherford and Connie Hyde co-hosted this year’s teacher accreditation course. Carmen Brocklehurst handled the reservation and space arrangements with the India Palace restaurant. And Rhonda St. Martin and I hosted the evening’s potluck. Each piece, while it could have stood alone, seemed to build on an already-freely-flowing Chi-day.
