power moves

 sam and i presented last. my nervous energy was building to explosive levels. I gotta take it down a notch, i told myself.  i  remembered that humming activates the vagus nerve so i kept humming off and on during the other presentations. imagine if i forgot to mute? that would have been mortifying. lol. 

anyways, i also said a prayer and in the end sam and i got glowing reviews. i wasn't expecting that and i'm not going to lie it felt really good. mike wasn't in our group but he messaged me later "i heard you knocked it out of the park." *beam* *glow* i think we were the funniest too.

now i'm in calgary. my taxi driver was from yemen.  we had a good chat. he showed me pics of his daughter and son who are in england. she's an artist and he's a doctor. he's very proud.

anyways my hotel is ok but one elevator is broken and the other one is really slow. me and this other guy who was waiting joked about it while we were waiting. 

 i just went to my room, dropped my bag and went down to find some food.  there was a resto right next door. it's called native tongues 👅 . mexican.  when I walked in the elevator guy was there.  we said a surprised hello. as I walked by to my table he stopped me and said "you have to get the donut."

tacos were 25% off so I got 4 of those.  and i asked my server about a donut 🍩 that i heard i should get. she brought me the dessert menu. and that's when i saw it. chucho y chata. it's the best hot choc i've had in my life. "You have been blessed by hot chocolate gods 😮" said bethany when i told her, "Man in elevator their messenger". "yea verily" I replied.

they came before the tacos. i didn't care. i was living my best life. and the tacos were divine. i need to go there every day.  i'm a convert. an acolyte. 

now i'm watching olympic hockey. the mighty women's team. i don't care that much about hockey...but the olympics are special and women playing hockey makes me emotional.  i love it. flying along the ice w braids flying. so powerful and so woman... so woman and so hockey. i  get a similar feeling watching women play rugby. free to be themselves and free to be strong and skillful. in their power. love ❤️ it.

ok bye. tomorrow is another big day.

ps I got hot choc on my sweater and i didn't bring another thing to wear.   IT WAS WORTH IT. currently it hangs in the bathroom after a spot wash.
