Emily, that was one of the first things I learned from you – that you don’t have to be a child prodigy to be a “Cellist.” That you don’t have to be a professional, either. Because my husband is a musician, I often get asked by people we meet if I’m a “Musician” too. I actually usually say, “not really.” But since I have the amazing opportunity ahead of me to meet a lot of new people, perhaps I will take to saying yes. I’ll at least give it a test run, to see how it feels.

I don’t remember ever being more impressed by a commercial. I’m floored. Kudos to Nike. Kudos to you, for bringing it to our attention.
That….was awesome. Flat out motivating. I’m going to go practice now. =)
