Do you recognize these little guys? Well, many may, however my first introduction to these cute little critters was at the Friday morning story time in our community in NJ. Every week the children and their mommies and/or grandparents gather in a shady spot by the lake and enjoy story time. We have only made it a few times.  This particular week, one of the books read was "I Broke My Trunk" by Mo Willems. It was so cute and all the kiddos were held captive as the illustrations were shown and the story read. I recalled seeing an exhibit of Mo Willems at the New York Historical Society, so a hot humid morning in the city was the perfect time to change my normal routine, and visit the museum.

So how does this quote and the take away from the training relate?  Well, in short, it has been a long while since I have put myself out of my comfort zone... to do something that scares me.
