COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

This took awhile as we had multiple Friendly New Kids (FNK) to name, but it was fun.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“greatest teacher failure is” – Yoda

I was watching Star Wars and Yoda told Luke Skywalker this quote.  It means that when we try something we may fail, but we learn from those failures, and we get back up and try again.  What did we learn if we fail?  We learn not to do it that way.  What if we learn if we don’t try?  Nothing, and again we have failed.  I encourage each of you to go out and fail, learn from it, and do it again.

2.0s in attendance were Charger, Fierce, Herminey, Leah, Chicken Nugget, Tumbler, Danger, Camelback, Jump Shot, Yoda, Champ, Warrior, Speed Demon, Brotherman, Stryker, and Haley.

MOLESKIN:
Lots of thunder but the 2.0s powered through and were super pumped to participate and get named.

I also have a confession to make, I dropped the ball and 2.0 workouts got put on the back burner for far too long.  I feel bad and I promise not to let it happen again.

One visitor from F3 Memphis: @Goldilocks
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Through my transition from individual contributor to a leadership position at work, it has required me to reconsider how I look at my output in order for the team to succeed. It is required for me to anticipate hurdles and roadblocks that may come up for my team members and support them to be successful in spite of these challenges. I encouraged all of the PAX to reach out to others around them and offer support when they are struggling physically and emotionally. #ISI

God forgives sin and wipes it from his memory when you believe in him and his redemption of our sins and ask for forgiveness. Stop dwelling on previous sins and know you have been forgivin and move forward.
MOLESKIN:
I had to break one of the unwritten rules of F3….”if you can’t do it don’t Q it.” I pulled the calf BUT I already had the WO planned and although I could not complete the exercise, I didn’t want to deprive the pax of a good wo on my part. So….I proceeded.
