There is rarely a 'great' time to learn new things. I knew when becoming a Gokhale teacher, I did not have excess free time. Between a full time job, 2 kids, and a new puppy, I would not have a lot of time in the beginning. At the same time, I know each year as my children grow older, I will have more time and flexibility to engage in my passions.
So, I'm starting small, setting realistic expectations, and driving a wedge in the door of the goal to be a Gokhale Method Teacher. This both gives me pleasure and allows me to share it with others - my wedge of joy, I call it. The hardest part is that first crack.
