How to juggle. Seriously, I learned to juggle in about 30 minutes when I was a kid and then starting teaching others to do it. I did a whole class on it in High School…it was hilarious…tennis balls everywhere! I do have some limitations to juggling…no flames, knives, or animals! Who knew that keeping things from dropping and hitting the floor would be so helpful in my day to day job 😉
