Why I Juggle & Why You Should Too

I can’t remember how it all started. It may have began a few years back after Thanksgiving lunch. I remember everyone else was sluggish because they’d had a huge meal, but I was filled with energy because I was vegan at the time and had eaten fruit salad for lunch. Actually I don’t think that’s … [Read more…]

How Much Should You Practice?

Of course, most of the community here doesn’t juggle, but I think it’s an interesting topic nonetheless so today’s post will focus on general guidelines that can be applied to ANY field.

Today I performed a juggling show at Walnut Grove, an assisted living center.  I had a great time, and the residents seemed to enjoy it as well.  After I finished my show I stuck around for a while and chatted up perhaps a dozen residents. One of them was a frail old man who was … [Read more…]

Public Acountability

In less than 24 hours I’ll be on stage performing my juggling act in front of hundreds of people.

In the past I’ve had lots of opportunities, but failed to capitalize on … [Read more…]
