Rebuilding

It's a long story, but I'm recompiling a lot of material here in a new space.
I've posted older comment threads where they apply. I haven't where it doesn't. So there.

I had coffee with one of my personal heroes yesterday. You know how its a good idea in life to find people your admire and to aspire to be like them?
I found a woman I look up to.
I emailed her (fangirl) about some ideas I was grappling with (heh heh heh) about the role of women within the martial arts.
She responded!

And then she happened to be in Vancouver to do some filming with ANOTHER one of my heroes (eeee!). They're creating a resource directly related to women in jiu jitsu... and she texted me for coffee while she was here.

Great conversation: like minds. She introduced me to her trainer. We talked about possible future joint-endeavours.

I'M SO EXCITED
(why am I so bloody lucky in life?)
