The end is really a new adventure
MONDAY, JULY 9, 2012
Well I made it, I am in Florida. It has been a very frighting, exciting and an eye opening experience for me all jammed into a couple of months. Randy's job is in Orlando, land of Disney world. We are kind of flying by the seat of our pants, learning as we go. You have all given me the courage to face such a hugh change in my live.I have not been here a week yet but I relate everything back to my experiences with the school including crossing the boarder. Coming across under Randy's visa had its problems. He was questioned and then me about teaching Kung Fu. I had to promise not to teach for money as per my visa I am not allowed to work. It never dawned on me to emphasize that I had volunteered and doing it out of love for the art. It made me laugh to think of the picture I was left with, fifteen burly men, starring me down and waiting for me to admit to the crime of "teaching". But in the end my green eyed, blonde, happy daughter and my friendly black lab companion convinced them of the true nature of my spirit. Just a happy mom who also happens to love Kung Fu. until later Sifu Linda Shipalesky

I miss you, and hope all is well. I honestly think of you often, and in the back of my mind, I somehow always hear you cheering me on. . . in all I do. You have been a great support.
