July 2010: Nagymama attends PAWMA (Pacific Association of Women Martial Artists)

I had a great day today with the Pacific Association of Women Martial Artists.

I started the day at 6:30am participating in a Danzan Ryu Movement class. This was followed by Contemporary Hula. My next class was a Lower Body Roots where we tried to connect with our pelvic bones working on longitudinal alignment.

After lunch I did Power Drumming and had a lot of fun. Loud noises always bother me, but the drumming got me in my guts. A very different kind of noise.

I then tried Cane the Ultimate Weapon. I gave up on that one.

My last activity was Acupuncture Happy Hour.

The whole day felt as if a yoke had been lifted off my shoulders.

The visit was part of a Memorial Service for Dick Delp, a docent at the CHM, arranged by Nagymama and Nagypapa. A longtime friend of the family, Dick was our teacher, mentor and role model whose immense knowledge of computers had greatly benefited the maintenance of the Hellers� computers� good health.

Pura Vida!

A "Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition" and a personal letter "proud to honor your dedication to academic excellence and achievement in our schools" by Glen W.
