Fan Mail

This week I got my anticipated package in the mail, my box of fans. Yes there were more than one in the box, in fact, there were 4. Why 4? Well, 2 are different colors, one is left-handed and one is a replacement for my current red fan, but I found out that this new red fan is much bigger and makes my current red fan look small. I didn't realize that my current red fan is 13 inches in length and when I ordered, I ordered the 15 inch version. That's a 2 inch of length when difference the fan is folded so when open, you get the idea. Basically my fan is almost as big as what I am and I was asked yesterday if I'm trying to compensate for something because my new fan is huge. Funny guy.

What I'm really excited about is that I'll be using one of my new fans in the demo, my gold fan. When I saw the list of fan colors, I was dizzy with excitement. Pretty colors!! Which one?? Aacck, the choices!! There is one point that I keep in mind when choosing a fan color and that is the color of our uniforms. Even though a black fan is pretty, it does not show up against the black uniform. Red does, will the blue, and I have a feeling about the gold. Yep all of them went into my cart and when I found there is a left-handed version it was in there too.

Now here I am with my mondo shiny gold fan that I'm told really stands out and I'm giddy with excitement. Now to practice hard this week so I can be the best I can be in the demo moment. As for fan future with me, I want to finish my form. I have 4 of the 5 animals in the form, now to weave in the leopard and I have a feeling where it's going to go. Because I love my form and I'm proud of it and me for creating it, I'm keeping it live and going. I also see a 2 fan form in my future as well as possibly a 52 movement Tai Chi fan form.  The possibilities.....
