Had a pretty good week. Highlights, preparing for the tiger challenge and trying to find time to re focus on my goals. All of the personal achievements aside. The truly inspiring hard to measure part was the pitch in Canada beatification program. Sifu Reiger put this together again this year. This was the first year I participated. We as a group adopted a park in Stony Plain which also extended to the highway. In a few groups we picked up garbage left over from winter and careless disposal. In only an hour and a half we had covered our complete area, Due to the good turn out of Silent River faithful. I worked with the group that had most of the kids. I am humbled watching my five year old spend his Saturday morning walking along the highway picking up garbage. Along with garbage pick up Oliver has help me with the driveway we adopted this year and came out numerous times to help remove snow. I am so incredibly happy he is part of this journey with me. I am sure it will enrich his life with compassion and empathy.

Today I get to blog about an act of kindness kind of. The day started off normal. Dropped Oliver off for school and headed to my Monday morning kung fu class. I was already in a pretty good mode, so I decided to stop at starbucks and grab a coffee before class. Driving through the parking lot a large SUV came flying into the intersection somewhat cutting me off. Normally I would have been perturbed. For some reason I just smiled and waved her through. Then she beat me into the drive thru line up, still I am calm. I don’t know what had come over me. I decided to clean the inside of my truck while I waited. Then she uses interact again normally this would start a tangent sorry sometimes I am shallow. I make it to the window and the lady at the window says” HAPPY MONDAY”. Then tells me the lady in the SUV says sorry for cutting you off and bought your coffee. WOW! Today was a great day. It’s the little things.

Packing up the house getting ready to sell is just one more task I need to fit in. It kind of is taking precedent over most other commitments. It has been a major contemplation into the last fifteen years of my life. I am sure it will all be much clearer when all of this is done. Very confusing time almost impossible for a daily routine, but I refuse to completely lose track. The only really bothersome part is when my core curriculum training takes a hit. I need to focus on the core for any of this to make sense. That is my plan for this week.



I have chosen to concentrate on the positive hence the lack of blogging publicly.


The last two months have brought on 360 degree changes in my life. Not all these changes have been for the best. I have struggled to be mediocre only to achieve bare minimum, when it comes to my requirements. This sounds very terrible but I have decided to look at in a different light. Because of the UBBT I am looking at achievements in a different way daily, monthly, quarterly and yearly.


During an incredibly large increase of work load at work and life altering events I crashed my body for life program. At first I was devastated but now I have said just started over I have the year to complete so I have re-adjusted. My entire program has been re-adjusted and will need to be many more times I suspect.
