"RIPPLES MAKE WAVES"; Student Shawna Chops Up The WF Dharma To CoWorkers
Teacher Ko,
namaste - noble teacher, you have taught me so well. as i sat at lunch today with co-workers and some clients, there were (6) of us that ate at a chinese restaurant. i attended to my practice of eating with chopsticks. everyone at the table took turns glancing over at me and one finally spoke and said "do you enjoy eating with chopsticks?" i said "yes, and besides it is part of my training. i should switch hands now, thank you for the reminder." then one said "what kind of training, spiritual training?" i said, "you could call it that, it's WHOLISTIC FITNESS� training including nutrition, cardio, yoga, strength, and yes you can say spiritual training." another chimed in and said "yes, if you eat with chopsticks, then you tend not to shovel your food into your mouth", i said "exactly" i then observed while everyone's minds started churning. after awhile another asked, "are you doing yoga this weekend?" i said "yes, and you're welcome to come if you'd like?" 
namaste,
student-shawna
