Wow! What a great self-assessment and reflection! I appreciate your vulnerability in sharing. I know you will continue to be a role model in the dojo. Sometimes a "pause" is just what we need to help us see what we really want. May the remaining months continue...

I second Sensei's comment. Sometimes we need a mental reset, and we need to give ourselves grace and positive self-talk to remember that we can accomplish our goals. Also, I read tarot for myself several times a week and enjoy it very much! It's a great tool...

Please wait...
