My coach Roy Davis said something to me once.   It was a fairly innocent comment during training, when I was second guessing whether I could ever do something.   He said, “Anything is possible”.   I don’t think he realized the impact that tiny little statement had on me.   Anything is possible.   Three little words.   I took those words to heart.   Those words became a catalyst, a spark.   Three tiny little words that I needed to hear at that exact moment in my jiu jitsu journey to keep me moving forward on my path.   Recently I dropped in on a class at one of our affiliate schools.   I’ve been working late a lot lately and I couldn’t make it to my school.   I had the pleasure of working with the instructor.   At one point he said, “Why do things harder, when you can do them smarter”.   I almost laughed out loud when he said it.   Why?   My husband has been telling me and my kids that for as long as I can remembe...

I thought I had pretty good posture.  Hey, I spent my childhood being told by teachers and adults to "sit up straight".  So, I thought I was doing a halfway decent job of it.  Just recently though, I had one of those moment on the mats, I realized that my posture was terrible.  Actually, it kind of sucks.  So, I'm working on my posture - back straight as an arrow and head up.  For me, it's the little things that eventually add up to create a tiny step forward in my jiu jitsu.  That's all I have for today folks.  Wishing you all peace, love and great jiu jitsu!  :)
