More Villabrille double sword 10 count this week in Filipino martial arts. It’s gone from feeling awkward to hitting flow. 8 years of training lets me go from practice to flow faster than I ever dreamed when I first stepped into the dojo.

More Villabrille double sword last night. It’s getting easier to lean into the style. Sword comes first physically, but until your mind has that moment of insight you just skate on the surface. Repetition helps you sink beneath and begin to make it part of your practice.

Double sword tonight. Villabrille which I always find more challenging than Lacoste. The latter is my preferred style but my art is kali which means I need to know all the sword styles. Filipino martial arts is so multifaceted it’s a lifetime of study.

Sitting in the window seat reading with the cats curled beside us. Add dogs and a view of the sea and this was my dream for the future at age 12. The husband reading beside me is the only part I didn’t dream of. Who knew I’d find another person who loved books and words as much as I did?

Girls’ day out with my daughter and Mother-in Law. Shopping & lunch. Now a soft Halloween blanket on the couch with hot tea, and a TV show to marathon. Time for some introvert time.
