The idea of opportunity vs. obligation blew my mind last week and now I’m looking at things totally differently and it’s GREAT.
I was speaking with a friend of mine and during the conversation, I was complaining about how much time it takes to keep up with email, phone calls, and all the jobs like that. Once I was done complaining, he pointed out that I should stop complaining and look at things differently.

When I first started training, I remember my teacher really being hard on us in some classes. Not yelling and screaming, but pushing us really hard.

I was reminded about the importance of looking after yourself this week.
I’ve known a friend for nearly thirty years. She has a huge heart and a great soul and I’ve always thought of her as having a great balance between all aspects of her life.

PLEASE NOTE: It’s becoming trickier to keep track of everyone that’s completing challenges as I’m getting them from so many people and so many different platforms.

It’s true. What really matters, is the little things. They’re easy to overlook, but should never be forgotten.
Since we moved online, we’ve been offering private lessons online to our students. The whole goal of doing that was to make sure that students continued to train, learn and grow.
