Alright! Today I got to ride this sweet boy Dallas in the great Smokey mountains. It was a dream come true. I was reminded that connection always wins over control and thatâs a lesson Iâve been working on learning in my life, in parenthood, in my marriage, in my career, in my journey in faith, in my friendships (new and old), and in my path of forward progress to become a better me. This has been hard for me to learn even while searching for it and today it only took loping around and splashing through a creek in a rainstorm on Dallas to hear the message loud and clear. âProgress, not perfectionâ. âConnection, not controlâ. âCollective growth, not competitionâ. Thank you, Dallas. Nature and animals and silence with ourselves can be our greatest teachers.
