An amazing year of up’s and down’s and now we find ourselves at the final day of the calender year of 2017.
I have an intentions list I read weekly (daily if I’m on point) and I added on some extra goals at the beginning of December.
One of my many goals for 2018 is to learn how to ride a unicycle and to juggle. It’s a little out of my comfort zone, but a dream talent since I was an kid.
Tonight, I was invited to a friend’s NYE party near my home. Although the past 2 years I celebrated new years eve by going to bed before 10 pm, this year I felt compelled to go out in public instead of hiding in my cave.
While chatting with Jon, a new friend at this new years party I attended, I find out what he does for a living and it blows my mind.
He’s part of a physical comedy duo with a performance featuring juggling and unicycle tricks. What are the odds? He’s totally legit too. He’ll be performing at a Lakers halftime show in LA on January 21, 2018.
I tell him about my newest goal for 2018 and with a sly grin on his face, he offers to show me something in his trunk. We walk to the parking lot and he opens the hatchback of his vehicle and laying there is his unicycle.
This thing is amazing, super tall with extra fancy gears. It’s the most sophisticated unicycle I’ve seen in person. I ask if I can take a picture, and he poses with the unicycle.
As we walk back to the party, Jon asks me what my favorite colors are and if I have a nickname. He offers to send me a free sample of personalized starter juggling balls in my favorite color. I find out Jon also has an online business and sells juggling gear.
Wow! Thank you, 2017 for helping me get started on another goal on my list. ?
Yet another example of writing it down so it can become a reality.
Cheers to 2017 and welcome 2018!
