Going forward

I was taking muay thai in my not so distant past and my teacher gave me the most beautiful concept. My fighting stance, my home base, my resting space in a fight. It's where you go back to when you're exhausted, where you strike or retreat from. She said you can see a fighter's training in how they hold their stance. Hands up, elbows in, on the balls of your feet. It becomes comfortable with repetition and time invested. So it's just like breathing. Hands up, elbows in, on the balls of your feet. Ready.

We got gut punched.

We do not give up. We do stay down and let them keep kicking.

Fighting stance. Hands up, elbows in, on the balls of your feet. Ready to move wherever we see our opportunity.

You are not alone.

Love is the greatest of all things. I will not lose my heart or my mind. I choose my focus.

I choose love.
