Goals

Goals are such interesting things. You can have big ones. You can have small ones. Long term ones, short term ones. Acheivable ones and ones that are a little more far fetched. I have a lot of goals, of all kinds of types.

One of those goal has actually been met in the last week! Well, more than one but the one I am thinking of while writing this blog is the one I will share. There is a story behind it, as I am sure there is behind most goals, and mine starts more than a little while ago.

Waaayyyy back in 2007 I went to my very first [and only, to date] Savvy Conference in Colorado. It was my first adventure to a Parelli Centre, though not by any means my first Parelli event. While I was there, the atmosphere was just phenomenol. I wanted nothing more than to park myself there and not go home. Obviously, I had to return myself to my native Canadia, and wait until 2008 when I could attend my first course in Florida.

When I got home from this wonderfull life changing adventure - this being the adventure that really pushed me into wanting to get to the centres and do more - I composed a loverly email to Parelli HQ, telling them how wonderful my experience there was, how welcoming and friendly everyone was, and asking about how to get myself onto Faculty one day. I knew I wasnt ready then, but some day, I wanted to be that person who inspired the old me into wanting to more.

Flash forward to today! This week has been the start of a course called the Flex Track at the Florida Parelli Centre. Here I am, being an intern on campus ....  when all of a sudden [not really, I volunteered!] I get to be on FACULTY!

For this past week, and next week, I have and will be assisting Jerry Williams in coaching this wonderful group of students! So far it has been such a great experience! I love being able to help empower all these students, and seeing their successes each day and their growth is just such a treat.

So thats my joy du jour. Goal Achieved. Made it onto teaching faculty, for at least two weeks! How cool is that? AND I get Mo here to help me, and shes been a total rockstar, being exactly the partner I need her to be.

:-D
