Good morning everyone! The sun is shining here in Chicago land and I'm excited for the new week. With our goals catch-up meeting happening this Saturday, I wanted to be thoughtful about what I'm working on this week.My mini goal for the week is to allow practice to not be perfect and know that perfection (or something closer to it) will come over time. What is your mini goal for the week?

Good morning all! I changed the time for this weekend’s coffee talk and the upcoming events in October for Premium Level members. They are all at *8am central time*—perfect for some camaraderie and accountability to anchor a practice time first thing in the morning before the day gets fulled started. My own plan is to practice technique for 15-30 min right after we meet. Having an anchor is critical to habit formation: something you can’t or won’t miss, that you can stack a new habit on top of. Like, doing toe raises or heel lifts while brushing your teeth. What is one anchor in your life that might be stackable with some practice/exercise for flamenco?
