Best compliment I have ever received regarding my work as a Rolfer: "Not only does my neck feel better but my spirits were lifted too. That was the big shift I was looking for."

Simple, direct, personal, and also reflects the physical/metaphysical potential of the work.

Kurt passed away about 6 months after writing those graceful words - I remember him kindly whenever I use his quote.

Sounds great! I'll help spread the word when the time comes.
PS. Someone told me recently that in Australia they say "no dramas" instead of "no worries." Linguistic trivia of the day.....

Great story!!! There's a Thai place in Portland called Sivalai where the owner has that sort of charisma. I've heard that "Jose' the Thai guy" is a former Buddhist monk. Jolliest soul you will ever meet. He learns the name of everyone who comes in, and remembers it even if you haven't been in for months. Free spring roll and mango sticky rice for the table to share, and unlimited Thai iced tea and Thai coffee on the house. Jose' loves to make people laugh - he will give a little shimmy and snap his fingers with just the right zest to bring a smile to your face. And if you happen to ask where the restroom is, he will dance you right over to it, spinning you around and around.

Sorry, I won't be able to make it - I'm hosting a visiting Rolfer who is teaching a short workshop called "The New Rules of Posture" that night.

The networking event looks like a lot of fun - I will be sorry to miss it! Can we do another one on the eastside sometime soon?
