I held that book in my hand and was overcome with the realization that this was a full year of my life- my recorded journey of the first year of Incense. I felt really victorious in the fact that I actually followed through... not everyone who goes through the training actually starts a program and sees it through... it is very hard work with a lot of obstacles. And certainly for someone like me, who often starts projects that I never finish regardless of the good intentions I may have... I couldn't help but beam with with pride: I was holding a serious accomplishment in my hands.

So I ripped the book a part and wallpapered my studio wall with it. I know, I am kind of taking "if these walls could speak..." to an extreme and some people might hate how it turned out- but I LOVE it. And not only is it beautiful, colorful, full of life, and memories... every time I am teaching a dance class or practicing a new choreography and feeling like I'll never get through it... I can look at that wall and remember how I got to the end of a long race once before & I know I'll relive the joy of that year & it will give me hope to push through.

I'm sharing this because I surprised myself and I know there are other people out there who are not sure if they can complete the task they have set before themselves.... let this be a reminder:
Someday is not a day of the week |
I hope you will GO FOR IT!
