It's Been A While

Sorry that it's been a while. I have been pretty busy. Things got pretty crazy since my last post.


My sensei's father passed away during a seminar weekend. Thankfully, many of his good friends were around for the passing. Granted, we weren't there, but I know it struck him pretty good. Usually, and this may sound odd, I don't "feel" people, but for some reason, that night, when all the things that went down, I felt his pain. He kept it pretty under wrap, but there was something that I felt.

After all was said and done, prayers that went out, I told him to stay at my place. It's away from his apartment and close to the dojo. I let him sleep in while I went to training the next day. (it was a 2 day seminar, and his father passed sometime on that Saturday and we still had training on Sunday.)

At any rate, I let him stay. He took work off that week, planned the funeral, checked up on all the finances... and the list goes on. Sad times, yet good times. There was no more suffering on either end. I know it still breaks his heart that his father left (passed on), but, after what has been said, I'm glad that neither have to suffer anymore.

Since then, there have been seminars, meetings, seminars and more meetings. I have insurance that starts at the beginning of September, clients and potential clients that I need to contact, websites to look at, websites to redesign and the list goes on. For those of you that follow me on my FB and Twitter accounts, I have been pretty quiet lately.

So, now, I am sitting in my bed. I have an Izzi that's happy that I'm here and is chilling out next to my foot, an Alloy and a Sade wondering why their food was moved upstairs (because my roomie's dog keeps eating the cats' food), and me that is ready for bed.

Sleep well, I will try to be more vociferous from here on out. Besides, I have some interesting thoughts that are boiling up that need to come out.

cheers for now...
