Big Week for us!

This week, Paul took off to teach some wonderful students at a school on the outskirts of Melbourne. He took off nice and early and was met with peak hour traffic pretty quickly.

As he patiently waited to turn right off a very busy highway, the traffic banked up and parted politely for him.

Two lanes of traffic sat quietly while he turned; little did Paul know an impatient four wheel driver decided to climb the embankment, drive over the concrete barricade and plough his way into the passenger side of our new Mini Cooper S.

The Nissan Patrol four wheel drive raged through the passenger window with great force shattering the window, crushing the door and shoving our little Mini sideways across the road.

Fortunately for Paul these little Mini's are well grounded with a really flat wheel base that made sure the force of the four wheel drive didnt roll him over. The mini sat their defiantly as the bullbar ripped through its crumple zones, almost as if to say "I know you're bigger, but I'm stronger!"

As both cars came to a standstill, a friendly woman volunteered her witness status and the driver of the aggressive vehicle confessed his sins "I'm sorry, I was completely in the wrong".

The police were called, statements taken, names and numbers exchanged and a very shaken and confused Paul was returned home safe and sound without a scratch!

As he sat there on the couch he was overcome by fits of shaking and his body turned cold and an unusual shade of grey, I figured he was in mild shock so I game him a cup of tea and kept him warm. I figured if the cup of tea came back up again we should probably head out for the Doctor.

He's a tough cookie this one, he sat there dazed and confused wondering what in the world had just happened. As he rested we planned what was to be the biggest week of our newly developed business. I couldnt see how we would get through it if he was injured and we had no car.

Quickly we chatted, planned and phone various people; moved things around and after a period of quietness we got up and got on with our day. We had so many commitments, so many people counting on us that we just couldnt allow ourselves to indulge in this unexpected drama. The main thing was, Paul was ok and that he wasnt injured.

So off we toddled, Debutante ball lessons, Ladies Programs, Social Classes, Corporate Classes, School lessons, Performances, Coaching courses and teaching a Hens night to boot! It was full steam ahead as we focused on being unstoppable in the face of adversity!

As it turned out, it was one of the toughest and best weeks we have ever had! We even had energy left over to go out dancing and play video games!

Just goes to show you, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger!
