It seems to go against the "set strict goals and stop when you reach them" idea.<br /><br /><br /><br />Sara (Moonlit Pastures)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06800090709013225054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-32048999182604773122020-06-08T07:39:16.380-07:002020-06-08T07:39:16.380-07:00yea agreed - and actually i'm really glad i di...yea agreed - and actually i'm really glad i did the zoom classroom too bc initially i wasn't actually super impressed with the january clinic. like... sure it was cool to watch, but i wasn't really sure what i was taking away other than the exercises. except after listening in on the zoom classroom last week it all made a lot more sense how each piece fits into the overall system. thus the belated write up LOLemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-76985164831510286382020-06-08T07:31:25.637-07:002020-06-08T07:31:25.637-07:00This sounds really cool!
