Day 20: Groove On
As we traveled through the last few days we have worked on exercising the mind and empowering ourselves. It has been a journey of self-discovery, of tuning in to bring in positive energy, and of taking charge.

Day 17: Fail Better
Failure is one of the most difficult things to handle in life, as it triggers a range of emotions and throws the mind completely out of control.

Watching the shifting shadow
My eyes darted to the wall…I could see my shadow…it moved, it shifted, it grew larger and smaller. My eyes glazed as I gazed into the past. I could see the shadow once again. It had shrunk to a pitiful self, it could hardly move, overwhelmed by the adversities that life had thrown at it….
