So this is lj worthy in my definition of what is lj worthy.
Today was the day. Yes, today was it. So my headstand has been really awesome these days. Like, I can get both my legs up slowly all the while keeping them completely straight and together. This takes a shitload of abdominal and upper body work to accomplish this, but it makes the whole headstand more sturdy. Then, then, today, I decide, "Pam Wess needs no wall no more." No way. I used to keep myself about a foot from the wall to catch myself in case I fell, but I decided that I needed to learn how to fall. I did it in the middle of the room, got scared, went two feet from the wall to practice walking down it into a backbend. I went back to the middle of the floor, brought my legs up, and fell. I fell into a forward roll, the exact way I'm supposed to do it! So then I showed Danielle that I can go from a headstand into a forward roll with no fear. No fear. That must mean something really philosophical about the point I am at in my life, or something.
I also found an amazing way to work on my splits. I have a bolster. It's amazing. Now I don't need to force myself to go anywhere. I just chill and it releases when it wants to. Fuck yes.
