I met Rayna 14 years ago at one of her horsemanship clinics, and since then we have become very close friends.Today Rayna shares:How she learned to protect her peace due to a childhood filled with turmoilHer first experience on a horseHer many learning opportunities with multiple, well-known trainers and what she learnedHow horsemanship has shaped her into the woman she is todayThe beauty of flowing with the lesson that comesThe way Rayna sets boundaries and knows when it’s time to let go of relationships“It’s okay to be selective”Why we don’t have to be afraid of being selfishHow to honor your pathThe answer Rayna responds with when someone asks her, “What do you do?”How Rayna’s dad taught her to have unlimited thinkingThis conversation meant SO much to me.
