]]> Comment on Addendum: “So, you’re going back to Normalsville!” by Regina http://hopehillfarm.org/2009/10/01/addendum-so-youre-going-back-to-normalsville/#comment-133 Regina Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:29:54 +0000 http://hopehillfarm.org/2009/10/01/addendum-so-youre-going-back-to-normalsville/#comment-133 Adding my thanks to your posting the letter. I had to do the same after the Reno Celebration and the Colorado Gold Summit -- and my horses and I live at an all-Parelli facility. But just wandering through the neighborhood with a Parelli logo inspires some people to spew forth defensively and derisively. I smile mysteriously as if I am the keeper of some secret wisdom, and I listen, and I am so grateful that I found Parelli around the same time I got my first horse (at age 36). Someday Rockstar and I will be strong enough in our partnership and our skills to get out in the community and be a quiet, minding-our-own-business example of excellence. Until then I'll keep my Parelli hat on and my shields up. LOL Adding my thanks to your posting the letter.

Wise words to deal with the transition. I was surprised to find I was reminding myself of this advice after returning home from the 3 day Parelli Celebration event in Fort Worth. Surprised by the amount of negativity around. And that's after only 3 days away. THANK YOU for sharing your experiences! I have learned so much and have shared your BLOG with many people, including those in my Play group! Warmly, Lauren Thanks for sharing this letter, Edie! Wise words to deal with the transition.

I am isolated from any Parelli people in my area, trying to run a Parelli Play Group to get people interested that isn't working well, and trying to stay positive regardless of the isolation. I am a SC Gold member and am ever thankful for the support. People areound my area just don't seem to get it. Several are trying to get me to a local tack and horse auction and I have polietly declined several times, finally saying that I don't like those envoronments and cannot stand to watch what goes on there. I only want to be around Parelli people but there are none to be had in these parts! *sigh* I am heading to a private lesson with Fawn Anderson in Canada (about 2 hours away) in a few weeks, this may be the best break I get for a while. Good luck in Normalsville, it can be an ugly place. Naturally yours, Michelle/arabhorselover1 Thank you for sharing this letter.
