Black Belt Day 7 – Final Day

July 18th, 2008 · 8 Comments

I’m exhausted, happy and . .  . I’m a Nia Black Belt!

The day began at 7:00 am with class with Debbie.  The week long training officially ended with a Black Belt ceremony at 4:00.  Afterwards, the whole group, including Debbie and Carlos and Debbie’s husband Jeff, had dinner at a restaurant in Northwest Portland.  My beloved husband, Richard, arrived yesterday and was able to celebrate with us.

I’ll write more soon.  Photos by Jeff forthcoming next week. 

Thank you to all of you who have been following the blog and supporting me.  I have felt it and I am grateful.

Now I have to go to sleep.

Blessings as we immerse in the river of dreams.

    Congratulations Rachael! Waiting to see the black belt and the Black Belt!
    Sorry, won’t be there Tuesday. My grandaughter is arriving Tuesday morning.
    Sarah has kept us moving splendidly while you were away.

    Dear Rachael,
    Thank you for sharing your inspiring journal. Mazal tov on completing the Black belt intensive. The photo’s I’d seen on Lisa’s slide show appear like the poetry in motion, like the poetic way of your words. Simply as you describe. Your blog is meaningful to me.
