Swimming is my new love

This day was a reminder that fortitude pays off.  I couldn’t ever imagine me swimming.  The fear I had of the water was great as I came to the pool back in 2007.  I have continued to stick with it and as with all things in His name you can accomplish that which are afraid.

I am not completely comfortable in the water and had been swimming with short fins for a while.  Last week I swam 30 laps without any fins, pull buoy, or paddles.  I was amped and at the same time proud of the fact that I have stuck it out.  Keep it Moving DC and know that when you are consistent, persistent, and unwavering to your commitment to a goal it will happen

Together for our 10th Year

Ten years of togetherness hasn’t always been grand.  We have had our ups and downs, but through it all we have worked to build a family, fight for our community, and strive to leave the world a better place.  This photo was taken at Chu and Nisha’s wedding in June 2002.  Lu and I had been together about 10 months.
