Reason #22:
Board breaking and karate boot camp! Today! After running Proud to Run 10K! Think of me today as challenge myself. Send me good energy vibes! [originally posted on FB on Sat.]
Reason #23:
The whole Thousand Waves community. The way we inspire, support, challenge and lift each other up. The board breaking event Saturday was made more memorable by poignant dedications leaving me speechless with gratitude. Below is a version of my breaking challenge. My last attempted break was a super challenge that did not succeed this time. Maybe next time! If you are on Facebook, check out Jun Shihan Sarah Ludden's break. She read a poem dedicated to the memory of those killed in the Charleston church. It is a very moving performance. https://www.facebook.com/michele.curley.735
Reason #24:
Being able to march in the Pride Parade with Thousand Waves - priceless! As we walked, we demonstrated Seido karate, self-defense techniques, bo work and board breaking. It was tiring (especially after the activities of the previous day) and a ton of fun.
And now (drumroll please) a huge, huge thanks to all of my supporters who helped me achieve my 2015 Spirit Challenge fundraising goal! I received a total of 50 donations equaling $3000. A super special gassho to Kyoshi Wai-Kwong Kwok who made a second donation to get me my goal! Osu!
