How I did it
It made me
Amazed! 
How I did it: In Taekwondo tonight I broke my first board!!I watched the young kids break boards…I thought, “piece of cake…”. Then they brought out the adult board…..almost 2 inches thick, and a REAL board….like the type you make stuff out of!Harder than I thought it would be, but I did it and my hand is still in one piece…a little bruised, but worth it! Amazed I could do it! 1 minute ago Read how I did it…
It made me
challenged 
How I did it: I researched grantwriting online, wrote up my federal grant then took it line by line for editing. I put in a few sleepless nights to get the grant out the door....basically my grant was "my baby" for a few days....I took it everywhere. I did not take any grant training prior to writing this. My efforts and landing the grant opened new doors, and now I am on a federal grant review committee at the national level! Read how I did it…
It made me
Free
How I did it: Surrendered my fears. I accepted an opportunity to travel (which I hate the flying part) and went on the trip. My going resulted in an incredible job offer and chance to relocate to a dream destination, and numerous all-expense paid invitations to speak around the country. I would have missed it all had I refused to go due to fear of travel. Read how I did it…

I needed to do a major change in my bedroom- exercise equipment, clutter, books and other stuff had taken root in there. No theme held the room, and the comforter on my bed was from 1998. The poop brown curtains which came with the house also had to go, as they matched nothing.
Here is my improvements for reclaiming my space…a $30 comforter I bought with a Christmas gift certificate, a red pillow and 3 sets of curtains. The exercise equipment and clutter banished. Not perfect but MUCH better and empowering!!
I am currently a high yellow belt, working towards my purple. Hoping to get back in the swing of things soon after being out a few months with a quad injury. Need to work on my back kicks!!!
