Cherish the Basics

June 19, 2012 By Erin Beasley

I'm working my way toward this technique.I took my first Krav Maga class the other day. It was fun, albeit a little simplistic. I have a background in Japanese jujitsu, and many martial art forms and self-defense classes borrow from Japanese jujitsu in some form or fashion. Krav Maga is no different. The names for stances and defenses may have been altered, but the techniques are similar, if not the same ones that are found in Japanese jujitsu.

It took all my strength and energy not to think about that ache so that I could function like a normal human being.

When Words Are Both Too Much and Too Little

June 7, 2012 By Erin Beasley

I recognize that furrowed brow.My status as a writer doesn’t mean that it’s easy for me to write. In fact, my ability to work with words sometimes makes the writing more complicated. It becomes encumbered with how I will say a thing and my responsibility to the words and to my audience. I find myself encountering the reality that words sometimes should not be said, that silence should be allowed to reign.

Freelance Writers and Writing Coaches

June 6, 2012 By Erin Beasley

Writing in a journal.I have the utmost respect for freelance writers. I’ve worked as a freelancer. I sometimes still do, but, lately, I’ve been contemplating how that role intersects with my role as a writing coach.
