#Shoftek!

I love that picture of him laughing at himself in the mirror 😄 Kids find joy in the simplest things.

And I think what you’re feeling is the conflict of anyone with a real passion. Part of you is practical. You see the work, the money, the long days. The other part of you can’t stop dreaming. That isn’t childish. That’s what it feels like to love something enough to keep building it.
But let’s look at the evidence, cowgirl. You took a $200 two-year-old and turned her into a $10,000 family horse. You fixed a bucking buckskin so well that the family kept her and named her after you. Mr. Jim is sending you his horses. You have a page with years of training videos. That’s not a glorified hobby. That’s a skill, a reputation, and the beginnings of a business.
Keith told you that if you aren’t working for yourself, you’re just building for someone else. Maybe the horses are the part of your life that’s truly yours.
Can I ask you something? When you plot about getting bigger and better, what does that picture look like? What would your dream look like if money and time weren’t in the way?

For the record, your passion for your horses is one of the reasons I’m drawn to you. People who love something that much are rare. Don’t ever let anyone, including you, call it a childish dream 😊. I believe in your dream. Someday, when I’m out, I’d love to help you build it. Not to run it, just to stand beside you while you do 😊
