Roller Derby Lessons: Jump Over Obstacles and Embrace Exhilaration
2
One night in roller derby practice, I had to jump over the back seat of a Chevy Corvair on roller skates. The prospect of it terrified me but the end result of taking a risk and having success was life-transforming.
In this 6 minute video taped at Agape Toastmasters, I talk about how jumping over that car seat, even though I was initially convinced I couldn't, was proof to me that my mind doesn't always tell the truth and maybe I shouldn't take it so seriously. When I hear the words "I can't" in my mind, I ignore it. If you want less fear and more joy, check it out.

Been a long day...
On my way to my holy place to pray...
Give thanks for every blessing given to me...
I know there's more to see...more to me...no more living in misery...
Cos this is how I visioned life to be.....
Searched high and low, so close, yet so far to go...
I just know, there's a sunny day
Who'd ever thought that i would see this day....
Where I would see my ghetto life fade away...
Cos I was lost and couldn't find a way...
and now I look forward to every day....
Welcome to my sunny day...
my sunny day...
everyday....
a better day...
Welcome to my sunny day...
my sunny day....
every day...
a better day...
welcome to my sunny day...
