Day three: instructor course

Hard to believe that we have one day of education left before we have our tests on Friday. Jesse gave a great presentation on horsenalities and humanalities. It made me realize I am more right brained then I thought. Mostly RBI but also RBE and when I'm confident LBE. I'm find myself loving social interaction, being around people and HAVING FUN. Could just be Parelli people! They make me feel so safe, and when I feel safe I am able to come out of my comfort zone. My past still creeps up with me because I catch myself worrying about saying something stupid acting stupid or offending someone without realizing it. Had quite a day with the instructors Jesse at one point was crawling on the ground and Carol laying on the table with her feet and hands in the air! Great memories! Going to dinner tonight with some other students and then studying! Still can't believe all of this is happening, that all of this is real. A dream come true, I feel so blessed to be apart of an amazing family.

Day two: instructor course

Another awesome day here in Florida. It's strange, as my confidence with others went up my confidence in myself went down. Learned about guidelines and about core values and its so exciting that I can be apart of it. Trying to keep my negative self-talk out of my head. I just have to believe that what I have learned in the past year and a half is good enough. That I AM good enough. Im super excited about everything we learned today. This is a dream and someone should pinch me because it doesn't feel real! :-)

Day one: instructor course

Wow! What an amazing day. Met some really cool people from all over the world. I never imagined my life like this. I flew down here by myself, am now staying in a hotel by myself. Fending for myself when I don't have a car. May sound like simple easy things but for me this is a HUGE step. This is going to be an incredible journey. I know it's going to be hard at times but all the people I've met so far have been a great support system. We had a lot of team building this afternoon. They combined us with the 2* instructor group since there was 7 of us and 10 of them. I liked having a smaller group them my fast track its easier to get to know everyone better. I was even able to do Parelli Charades with confidence, something I would never feel confident doing a year ago. All of our instructors are incredible. Parelli is a great family to get to be apart of.

Picture of me with the group having a great time.

This morning before I went downstairs to meet everyone.

Off on another adventure

So far this journey has already put me out of my comfort zone, and continues to! I will be getting on a flight in 5 hours, first time flying alone, first time having to navigate through the airports. I have some anxiety to say the least! It's mostly the fear of the unknown, we are almost always afraid of the unknown. Once I get on the plane, I think I will feel relief. As long as I can haul my 60lb (just a guess, its much heavier then my saddle) up into the overhead compartment. It will also be my first time flying at night, I hope I can see the stars. Grandma and Grandpa will be picking me up from the airport when I land at about 9pm. Then I get to spend 5 days with them before I start my instructor course next week. I will be blogging probably everyday with all the adventures I have. :-)
