On being Courageous

So in gymnastics you have these lovely beasts called Mental Blocks, pretty much an irrational fear of doing a skill you are physically capable of doing.

So at Gym Plus we have this amazing coach who has the girls write journals each week. She also does the best messy buns according to Roe. This last week they had to study up on a Mental Blocks handout as well as do a journal entry.  Their "WOW" (word of the week) was Courage.

I don't read Roe's journal entries it is between her and Jeryka I am just excited that she is writing this summer, we didn't do much of this in 4th grade.

They also wrote out their fears and negative feelings on helium balloons and let them go.
Hmmm, I might need to do this.

It just so happens that Roe is attempting to get her beam series, I don't know why this would be scary;) she has several beam kisses that probably don't help her confidence. So she is struggling with the mental blocks in a big way, and of course I have to document it.

Celebrating getting over her fears and conquering a skill. 

Thank you Jeryka for showing Monroe what courage truly looks like & we are in this battle with you as you start chemo this week, win this round Coach!
