I would like to take a moment to acknowledge this Jewel. This one in this time, who is starting to make progress, who is learning and figuring everything out. She takes her time and tackles a few things each day.
I would like to take a moment to thank this Jewel for her dedication, for her willingness to try, to fail, for her ability to ask for help.
I would like to take a moment to feel where I am, how it was before it all started, where I ground my intentions through discipline and practice.
I would like to look back at this moment a few years from now and be grateful to this person for even starting. Thank you thank you thank you. What a beautiful journey it has been.
