Thank God for You and T’ai Chi Chih!
Barbara Joy, New York, NY
So here I am in New York – across the small treelined park is the World Financial Center. I live in the heart of the Wall Street area – in Battery Park City, on the Hudson River.
I often think of you and your leaving this area and changing your life. Now here I am teaching T’ai Chi Chih to Wall Street lawyers, financial ‘whizzes’, computer executives, etc. And I love sharing this gift with my new friends.
I’ve also taught TCC workshops to New York City school teachers – those who work in the roughest neighborhoods. And they love it, too.
As much as I loved my high school students (I’ve been teaching “at-risk, high school students with addiction problems” in the city school), I’ve stopped teaching (academic subjects).
Now I am developing my own practice – teaching T’ai Chi Chih. I began in December and have twelve students so far.
I feel the chi will lead me in my next steps.
Mostly I just want to extend to you my love and gratefulness for your gifts to me and the planet.
