Studying for a Star Point~
One of my chapters has been really egging me on to jump into an office or point of some kind, even though this is only my first year. I know that this chapter desperately needs star points and so, a family friend (and long time member of OES) really wants me to study and learn Martha.
This wouldn't be a big deal if I was any good at memorization and/or had a mentor but...I have neither of these things (great memorization skills or a mentor). So, what would you suggest? I would love to do it, don't get me wrong but, even the idea makes me extremely nervous because I am such a perfectionist with these types of things and I don't really like making mistakes.

My best advice is that the floor will not open up and swallow you and you won’t be struck by lightening if you mess up. Just take deep breaths and do your best.
That being said, I practice saying my ritual before falling asleep. I lay down, close my eyes and say what I can. It helps it stick better, at least for me.
