Disconnect

 Some excellent feedback from class on Thursday. Not only for myself, but trying to take in all the feedback given to everyone. I know all the feedback applies to me as well. I could not retain all of it, but did make some mental pointers for some points to work on and progress with. 

Impeccable timing, but a disconnect. I feel the disconnect and know exactly what Sifu is referring to. I couldn’t quite place where I was feeling the disconnect, so this was certainly a lightbulb moment. It now allows for more of a focus point. Since my surgery, and even before I have been working on modifying my forms to still allow movement as correct as possible, but to not aggravate or cause pain. This part of my journey has certainly been great opportunities to learn, but I also think I have gotten in a habit of getting to where I need to be incorrectly. I slowed my form down to work on this for the rest of the week, bringing my center down, and coming from my center outwards (another point of feedback given to a few). I believe I am starting to see some progress, but also have a long way to go as well. I also brought this into my other forms and although not as prevalent of feeling, but still there. 

Seeing the devastation first hand in Jasper was heartbreaking, but seeing the hope and growth already was also heartwarming. I was able to deliver the funds we raised at work in person, so even though I shed some tears, it filled my heart with happiness and hope.
