I just got home from a week flitting around the country, teaching as well as taking seminars.  Amidst the travel I hit Platinum medallion status with Delta, and every flight since then has been upgraded to First Class.  A girl could get USED to that!!

I was so excited to get home last night.  David brought Juno and Solar to the airport when he picked me up, and we were all very happy to see one another. And today, after blowing the leaves out of my backyard, I even squeaked in some training AND got it on tape! But, these days my information is saved for the online classroom, which is part of why I haven’t been blogging much lately, so if you want to see those videos, you’ll have to enroll in a class

The second round of online classes opens up tomorrow – I’m hoping that now that I’m beyond most of the technical glitches I’ll be able to devote more time to the actual TEACHING.  The first round of students developed in to a nice little community, despite my intermittent absences, and I hope to continue to improve upon it and my own instruction in the future. Like my students, most of my own training is currently happening in my own back yard, which isn’t big enough for a dogwalk, but it IS big enough for lots of other things.  When Juno proves to everybody that she is the champion I already know her to be, I’ll be able to say she did most of her training in a suburban back yard   Of course, I *want* the fancy arena and property and all that, but I also want to be able to say that with a lot of hard work, you don’t *need* it

I feel like I’m buckling down on a new goal.  It’s not new, really, but since I’m no longer instructing at a facility locally, it’s moved up to the forefront.  I’ve said for a while that I want that gold medal and I want a place to put it; the latter has become of prime importance to me lately. It’s like a fever or an illness, almost.  It keeps me awake at nights. It makes me want to make that online classroom the best damned place to get agility information EVER, at least until I can create that space in the real world. Of course, there are only 24 hours in a day, and only 7 days in a week, but I am determined, and when there’s a fire in my belly, watch out. Even David has noticed, since September I’ve changed.  Some of that is I hope short term – I’m going at a pace that I can’t possibly continue for more than a few years. But for now…full steam ahead.  I’m filled to the brim with ideas.

Clear Mind is going to be in print soon! I’m so excited, I can’t wait to HOLD IT in my hands!
