I have to be honest that this week's challenge came a bit easier than the others to detail. I'm outlining this challenge as my daughter is going through a rougher patch in her gymnastics journey. Ironically, of the 2.5 years we've been heavily involved in the sport, this has been her first experience having a major mental block or obstacle. I've had to sit back and watch her as she works through her emotions and fears. I'm amazed by how much love she truly has for this sport, as I've watched her work hard to navigate picking herself back up after falling.
And then a transformative process happened this weekend, as I was able to watch Emery jump around in a bounce house with her best friends, squealing and laughing, and she was able to find happiness in her journey, again, and let go. My wish is that each of us may similarly find happiness in our journey, as we learn how to let go and press forward.
