I saw this at conferences. Even though parents have varying kids and temperaments, I am able to communicate effectively with them both over email and in person. This is something that I thought wouldn’t be easy since I’m shy around strangers.

How I did it: My dear girlpal has been training to run a half marathon for a while. I am not a serious runner, but she and I did a 10K together a while back. I didn't think I'd do a half, especially after I hurt my knees running this summer.However, I learned you could walk the half marathon, and I've always been a good walker, so I signed up.

I can’t take credit for writing the music, of course, but I think I found something that fits in. Glad I spent some time playing bass!
