Hello Again! It’s been a little while and I’ve had adventures and thoughts that I wanted to share. In truth, this blog should probably have been about 3 blogs, and while I began to formulate my ideas earlier I never got around to properly writing things down. Which is a shame, as now I have […]
So Friday, I made a big blog post about not giving up and how I was going to try to create a sustainable habit that I could build from. I was feeling motivated and good. I had done my morning practice, and I had some music on while I was cleaning and I was feeling

Yesterday as we were arriving for the Ih Ho Chuan meeting, I was hit with a huge feeling of Imposter Syndrome. Why was I here? What was the point? I’m not keeping up with the requirements and I honestly don’t know what I am actually doing with my forms or practice. I feel as though

The weekend before last, I began to renovate my mothers bathroom for her. It’s been a week of demolition work, plumbing, electrical, framing, drywalling, painting and flooring. At this point I am just finishing up with trim work and things should be done fairly soon. The project has taken a longer than I expected and
In my last post I spoke of highs and lows, of ups and downs and how exciting a new adventure can be yet how disappointing set-backs can also be. In that post I referred to the setbacks as a failure. I was disappointed I was not doing everything I thought that I could and that
I was blown away by the banquet this past weekend. It was incredible seeing everyone come together to create such a fun and memorable event. This was my first New Year’s Banquet, and it was an inspiring and motivational experience for me. The week leading up to the banquet was the first week of our
