Cartwheels

This summer I learned how to cartwheel. I decided that I wanted that to be a goal of my summer, I found some coaches, did lots of practice, and got better every time. It was such a beautiful metaphor. There are lots of things that we may not know how to do and  we can be embarrassed by our ignorance - sometimes too embarrassed to ask for help. My willingness to try something new (publicly, cause there's no where all that private to practice cartwheels when you live in an apartment building!) and to keep at it until it was not so embarrassing is a process I hope to repeat for future ventures that take me outside of my comfort zone!
