Teacher reaches out

T’ai Chi Chih is always reaching out and touching someone. After a month of separation due to vacation, conference and business travels my husband and I decided to go to the movies Saturday afternoon. I had spent the morning doing TCC outside with Sally [McLaughlin] and our students, going to the college to see if the three classes for T’ai Chi Chih were a go. Thinking about the classes still while waiting for the movie to begin a lady sat down beside me and began to talk about the book I had brought (we had a long 15 minutes to wait) and what I did. Well, to shorten the story, the lady next to her heard us talking and started asking questions about T’ai Chi Chih too. So I happened to have my business card, gave them each one and said check out the web site and if they were interested, classes started Tuesday at the college. On Sunday, about noon, a call came from the second woman. Her psych class was at the same time as TCC but she decided to drop that class and take T’ai Chi Chih instead! She said she was looking for a class she could do for her body and mind! Also, she felt it was a gift that she overheard us talk about T’ai Chi Chih and was surprised at herself for joining in our conversation!

A T’ai Chi Chih teacher is always an ambassador for T’ai Chi Chih.

PS. Classes did go at the college and she was there — smiling — and told her story to her new classmates.
