YinvsYang is just now entering its 7th month. I thought that is a good reason to celebrate. Maybe I am in the celebratory mood as my wife’s birthday is today (happy birthday babe!). Either way, it’s a great time to look back on the incredible journey that started with a simple idea.
The first 6 months of writing for this blog have taught me an awful lot about myself and the world around me. Anytime you have consistent communication with people from various places & backgrounds it seems you can’t help but grow as a person.

Yesterday morning I took a Jiu Jitsu class. My good friend & training partner, Tony, teaches at my school once a week. He asked the class if they remembered the move he had taught the week before. Even though many of them were there and Tony tried to explain it, they barely remembered it at all. I, being the seasoned veteran I am, boldly declared that I remembered the move, which was a guard pass.
Tony picked me to be his dummy and began to review the details of the move with the class. He was barely two steps into the demonstration when I realized I had forgotten numerous details. I knew the idea of the move, but as far as the details, I was lost. Thank God I did not have to show it!
