Michelle- from the moment we met, I knew there was something about you I liked. Now I know, a fellow trumpet player!!! I loved your story. It took me back. Waaay back!

This is a fantastic essay Michelle. I found it so useful as a mirror to reflect on my own life experience and my current endeavors with respect to how much commitment I have, and where mediocrity is lurking, waiting to get a foothold if I'd let it. I especially resonate with the stepping back when some setback or criticism comes, telling myself some reason that I'm backing off, when in actuality there is fear of failing again, or more. This is such an authentic and insightful share. Thanks for posting this one.
