Committing to Daily Practice
By: Sandy Roerig
St George, Utah
In mid-November 2019 I visited my dear friend and fellow TCC teacher Lisa, who had recently moved to St George, Utah. That visit changed my life in two major ways. First, my husband and I decided that St George was where we wanted to live. We immediately put that decision into action. Two months later we had sold our house, bought another one and were living in our new hometown.
The second way that visit changed my life was that shortly after our decision to move I committed myself to a daily practice. I learned T’ai Chi Chih six years ago, became a teacher four years ago and now I am finally doing a daily TCC practice. Because of this, I have truly fallen in love with TCC. I literally feel something is missing if I haven’t practiced by noon. Although I have subbed for other teachers and had the pleasure of helping prepare teacher candidates for accreditation, I had not felt a calling to teach new students. Even that has changed. We now have beginning/ongoing classes twice a week (outdoors) with nice committed students. I find that so rewarding.
