Training starts with your
willingness to sit still for awhile--plain and simple. The good instructors know how to teach it and more importantly, realize that you may know nothing about it, and will come and meet you halfway. This is my passion. Feel free to view my resources below (don't forget the RSS) and pick up something new before you leave.
