* From, "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach...a Coach Ilg "LifeTime Embraced" and WF approved book and required reading assignment for many WF Online Students since the inception of Wholistic Fitness. Coach Ilg and Richard Bach were friends in the late seventies and exchanged author to author communication. Bach is from our Tribe, you might say. Can you notice?...WF Online Student TaMara sure did! Read books often, watch TV less. WF Online Students receive WF-approved and Teacher assigned books. Because reading is becoming a lost fundamental element of a human's wisdom capacities.

"Dear Teacher Ananda,
Thank you for assigning Jonathan Livingston Seagull as my reading assignment. Wow what a story! The parallels to the WF path are so blatant you have to ask; Did Coach Ilg write this? I am really enjoying reading it."

Dear Student TaMara,
Coach Ilg loves Jonathan (and so do i). We even have it on audio to listen to on our long road trips.
Coach can, from memory, share highlighted passages that move him, right on the spot."
