Epic Shit | Day 9

Marian is a natural born leader. It sounds cliche, and she won't agree with me, but it's true. She embodies all the things listed in the leadership books; honestly, humility, goal focused, driven, encouraging. The list goes on and on.

There are times when I know she wants to beat me over the
head with more than flowers!

She is a person who has greatly impacted my life with her leadership. She was willing to stand and fight with me over my bad attitude when I was having a frustrating ride, explaining to me it was my fault and teaching me how to be fair to the animal I was riding. She told me when I was dating men who weren't right for me and congratulated me when I found the right one. She always and still pushes me out of my comfort zone to help me grow.

I often tell her my life would have a much different landscape if she had chosen to keep her wisdom and leadership to herself, but she always brushes it off and tells me I was meant to be someone and had the innate drive to get it done.

And for all of these things, I'm so grateful to this woman. Thank you, Marian!
