I’ve been taking Qigong now for seven weeks. But this isn’t just any Qigong – this is Sheng Zhen Qigong – Qigong of Unconditional Love. To get an idea of what I’ve been learning, here is a video of Master Li’s daughter doing the exact movements I’ve been learning (although admittedly with much more agility and grace than I have at the moment).

There is no mysterious force behind the movements. It is a practice. But that does not mean it is without intent or without heart. It is all about heart actually. And to practice without intent is well…a bit pointless.

In my spare time (ha!), I’ve also been participating in the AIR Interactive. What is that, you say? It is the Accessible Internet Rally which occurs every spring. Teams come together and compete against one another to build a website for a non-profit that is completely accessible. Then, we attend SXSW Interactive and find out who wins! So, a worthy non-profit gets a brand new redesigned website for free and another website on the world wide web is made accessible. Not to mention, web developers get to learn how to make their sites more accessible on a day to day basis.

Our team is in the design phase now. I decided to try my hand at designing from scratch and luckily the designer on our team humored me. Ultimately though, when I saw her design I immediately knew it was the better one. I am humbled, but also inspired. It is my wish to become more creative in what I do every day, so I’ll keep plugging away…
