Olympic Lesson #2

Two words: JOANNIE ROCHETTE

I'm not sure I need to say any more. Just seeing her name conjures feelings of respect and admiration. Oh! To have such determination, grace and poise!

Her skating was a perfect venue to channel her emotions. As the announcer proclaimed, "To skate in the moment means much more than the competition." Rarely have I seen anything more beautiful that someone caught living in the moment. Magic happens in "the moment".

The lesson I take from this tremendous Bronze medalist is to learn to take each moment and realize it has a purpose, good or bad. In those moments something magnificent can be found that opens our eyes to the bigger picture and changes us for good.

Thank you Joannie Rochette, and congratulations on your triumph!

CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS!
