There's more than one first time...

‘Is this your bra Jane?’

That’s how the weekend started and it went downhill from there.

Downhill, I must say, to a completely new perspective.

My first ski trip comes to mind. ‘Don’t get too frightened’, my friend Mark said as we parted. Don’t get frightened? I thought, what on earth does he mean? It’s best not to dwell on what might occur as one embarks upon a challenge. Having stuck the microscope Channel 4’s James and ‘Virgin School’, I was hardly expecting my own baptism of fire by the week’s close, but there we are.

Summary:

Comfort zones left: at least five
Tender spots prodded: yup
Barriers broken through: too many to mention

The upshot?

An indelible change in one’s life - for the better.

The six people I met on Friday evening, including Jane and her bra, were quite different to the six I parted company with yesterday. If you are prepared to put your reservations aside, and I certainly did, these courses have the ability to change lives.

Namaste!
