I am sitting here post work out with my protein, veggies and fruit. I have spent all week working outside trying to get this new yard I have inherited back to its original glory from the previous renter. My husband has also been out of town, but by the grace of my Mother, she came to help me with the kids so I could run and train in the studio this week. And my children are spending the night with my sister just so I can train with my fellow tester's tomorrow morning. Not to mention all of the homework... My point is that as I read these blogs, I started to think about my own affirmation which is "No Excuses". It is quite a bit shorter than my first one "Live  a Life Worthy of Your Calling" which was so important to me that I had it tattooed on my arm (the shortened version of course).

I started seeing various kinds of affirmations from different people, and I am very happy to see these because they are so important. These are the words that will be embroidered on your black belt, so you can look back and remember exactly what you were feeling when you chose that phrase or a single word that sums up this last year.

I chose "No Excuses" because I have even more time constraints and commitments going on during this test. I also threw in coaching and mentoring this time:)  Don't let anything get in your way.
