Our Annual Thanksgiving Name Spotting

with 33 comments

A Tai Chi and Qigong Thanksgiving online

Can you find your name in our annual Thanksgiving Day list?

It’s Thanksgiving here in the U.S. And a few years ago, I started a Thanksgiving tradition here in the blog.

Each Thanksgiving, I list the first names of all the students and instructors who’ve joined us for online Tai Chi and Qigong training in our private ChiFusion courses.

While it’s fun to look through the list to find your name, I actually do this for a very serious purpose. And that’s to express my sincere appreciation to each and every one of you for your support throughout the years.

When we opened our web-based programs in 2003, many people said to me, “You can’t teach this stuff online. That will never work!” It was an uphill battle, and those first few people who joined us were brave pioneers. But now, eight years later, learning Chi Development online is an accepted practice – thanks to the commitment and dedication of ALL of the students and instructors listed below.

 

Maybe you were one of those first brave pioneers who joined us in 2003. Or maybe you just joined us this morning. Or maybe you were somewhere in between.

No matter when you joined us, I greatly appreciate having you in our program.

Also, I hope all of you will join me in thanking your “senior classmates” – those who joined our program before you. Without their support, this program wouldn’t have been here for you to join.

 

I’m very thankful to all the support you’ve shown us during the last eight years. We literally could not do what we do without your support.

Thank you to each and every one of you! You have my best wishes for health and happiness now, and for the upcoming New Year.

  1. Hi Al,

    Happy Thanksgiving – my best wishes to you.
    The ChiFusion program and the instructor’s course have changed the direction of my life.
    I am more than thankful for that. I am joyously and deeply appreciative.

  4. Hey Al,

    Happy Thanksgiving and my sincere thanks for your kindness sending the particulars even though I am unable to learn on-line due to the cost especially being a retired person careful in what I spend. But I enjoy reading whatever you sent until now. Continue with your good work and God bless.

  5. Hey Al, people who stumble on your blog and aren’t in our program probably don’t realize ALL you do for us in your program.

    Yes, we buy the course, but you give us so much above and beyond that in return. You’re there for us, answering our emails and our questions on the private student forum, even though I joined six years ago, you still give us that same support. I don’t think many other teachers or programs do for that.

    Also, now even six years later, I got a “thank you” present from you for Thanksgiving in the email. And it was actually something very helpful and useful that I really appreciate it. And when I thanked you by email for it, you mentioned that you had more thank-you gifts coming up next month.

    Talk about value for money – the course alone was worth the price. But what you’ve given us in addition FAR exceeds what we’ve given you.

    YOU DON”T NEED TO THANK US – WE SHOULD BE THANKING YOU!!!

  8. Err. you missed me somehow… but I’m used to that. The course is absolutely fantastic, I’ve been doing tai chi for 10 years and the understanding I’ve gotten from the chi fusion is invaluable.
    Thanks,

  9. @Tzvi We didn’t miss you! This list is from our purchase records, and you purchased under the name “Trudy”. Your name is in the 2011 list, about the 12th line down. You are right after Darill, Richard, and Patricia.

  11. Hi Al Simon:

    Thank you for the spotting exercise. I found my name on your gratitude screen. I appreciate you being so patient and answering my myriad of questions. I use what I have learned and usually exercise every day. I probably need to go further since I have not done much with my legs yet. Most of the beginning exercises are with arms and hands and 2 stances. I have had back surgery x3 and use the technique of per centages. One Holiday so far and I’m fighting the weight syndrome.
    Have a great Christmas and New Years celebration.

  13. Thank you Al, I found my name! In all my decades of yoga, tai chi, chi gung, I’ve always had a sense of awareness and gratitude for the infinite lineages of predecessors. I am awed to see all those who joined you before me and delighted to see my own name added to the list. Barb (2010)

  24. Thanks, Al! It is so nice to see I’m not the only one out there. ;)
    Great site, I’m enjoying learning (joined 2011). Recently completed Level 2 and saving the rest for next year after we return from an extended vacation.

    I agree with all Chad said, we should be thanking you. I’ve been doing Tai Chi & Qigong for 18 yrs and volunteer as leader for 3 Senior Qigong groups for our local senior citizens organization (similar to AARP) in Sweden.

  25. Hi Al,
    Happy thanksgiving, I hope you have had a lovely holiday.
    Thank you so much for giving me and many other Tai Chi students the opportunity to experience and enjoy Tai Chi.
    Also many thanks for the relaxing music.

    Must admit I couldn’t find my name but there are a lot of names on the 2011 list.
    Best wishes to you and everyone…

  26. @Lea This list is from our purchase records, and it looks like we had Jonathan’s name since he was the one who made the purchase. I just replaced his name with yours. You can find it in the 2011 list, about the six line down, right after Wesley and Lorraine.

  29. Hi Al,
    I’ll bet my name is listed under Michelle since it was purchased that way. You can change it to my name. I think I’ll enjoy seeing it there as we grow with you for many years to come!
    Thank you for your gift! I really feel a connection with your spirit because if I were in your shoes I’d be giving more than expected as well;) you are appreciated!

  30. @Julia – You are right, you were listed under Michelle. I just changed it to Julia. You are about 10 lines from the bottom of 2011, right before Jamila and Sultan.

  31. Hi Al, just like Eva, I am also a retired person, due to ill health and on limited income, but I really do appreciate your messages and training, even though I cannot afford to join up. You are a wonderful person with a big heart, and your love SHINES through your emails. Thank you, you being you, for your work, your commitment and your caring.
    Peace and Love you and your family. Carol N.

  33. Yes Happy Thanksgiving and that was fun! And…OMG, I just realized although I have been doing ChiFusion routines regularly, I am stuck. I have lots more lessons just sitting waiting for me and I’ve been so busy I haven’t even opened them. Whoopsie! Well that’s it, December resolution: One new lesson per week. Thanks for inadvertently inspiring me to get back on track….
