Some things I did right during December's Daily Acts of Kindness challenge, and others not so much. This episode is about recognising the need for practice, pulling on your sneakers/leg warmers, and getting back up after falling off the horse. It's packed with quotes and misquotes, links to articles, and not one, but TWO training montages. Happy new year!
Here are the links mentioned in this episode:
