Flying Lessons Give-Away



Dear Future Flyers,

      We have been blown away by the amazing turn out for the Flying Lessons Give-Away.
You have most generously shared your hopes and dreams with us. What a dear gathering of Creative Spirits!
      We have randomly chosen sixteen names from the nearly 700 entries we received between the comments and emails. In some cases, you will see that we were only given a first name along with an email. Each chosen participant has been emailed to inform them of their spot in Flying Lessons.
      We hope if you were not chosen that you will not let that stand in your way of moving towards your dream. We believe in you and wish you the very best in your journey. Spread your wings and fly.
   
Creatively yours,
The Fly Tribe


Congratulations

Giving Flight Blog Hop





The Fly Tribe came together as a bunch of individuals looking to learn a bit about what it meant to run a creative business. We came together to take Kelly Rae Robert's Flying Lessons. Along the way, we made some friends, we supported one another's dreams, we lifted one another up when difficulties (in business and life) threatened to get the better of us. We didn't just learn to "Take Flight" (as Kelly Rae's course suggests). We learned to Give Flight to one another.

Now with one year of soaring under our wings, we want to share the love. 

 Welcome to the Summer of 2011 Flying Lessons Alumni's
Giving Flight Blog Hop and Flying Lessons Give-Away. 
 It's our Anniversary Celebration.

 This is a HUGE celebration that is broken up into two parts.... 


  1. Giving Flight Blog Hop: The Fly Tribe is an amazing community built around supporting one another. Follow along on our blog hop by clicking through to the addresses listed below and discover some of our thoughts on The Spirit of Giving. 
  2.  Flying Lessons Give-Away: We have had such an amazing year after taking Flying Lessons, that we want to offer others the same incredible experience we have had. The Flyers have banded together to fund a whopping 8 Flying Lessons spots that we are giving away. Can you feel the love?! But the giving only starts there. Kelly Rae Roberts has joined us by MATCHING our gift with additional 8 classes for a total of 16 Flying Lessons spots. Doesn't she ROCK?! You can find details for the give-away below.

 Dear Future Flyers,

     We have been thinking of YOU. We have been thinking about the dreams you have, the places where you are feeling stuck and wish you just had some direction. We remember wishing we had a someone we could work through the big creative business questions with.
     Last year, we signed up for Flying Lessons with Kelly Rae Roberts. The class gave us direction. It put a frame around some of the chaos we felt in trying to do it all on our own. It gave us courage, and it gave us others creatives to connect with. It gave us wings.
    When our first anniversary came around at the same time as Kelly Rae's very last Flying Lessons class, we wanted you to know exactly how we felt. We wanted you to have a chance to (as Kelly Rae says) "help your creative biz soar."
    We have had such an amazing year after taking Flying Lessons, that we want to offer others the same incredible experience we have had. The Flyers have banded together to fund a whopping 8 Flying Lessons spots that we are giving away. Can you feel the love?! But the giving only starts there. Kelly Rae Roberts has joined us by MATCHING our gift with additional 8 classes for a total of 16 Flying Lessons spots. We want to share those with YOU.
                           
                                                                                                               Creatively yours,
                                                                                                                The Fly Tribe

Happy Anniversary Fly Tribe

                          “The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; 
                            but to know someone who thinks and feels with us, 
                            and who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, 
                            this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                              ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe







The Fly Tribe is celebrating a year since we came together for Kelly Rae Roberts' Flying Lessons. Along the way we have taken what we learned during the class and put it into use in a variety of ways. Some started blogs, others got published in magazines, some opened stores for their creative wares, and some kept doing what they were already doing, but a bit better. Whatever we did though, we found that we weren't doing it alone. We really did find a tribe in the class. 

We found a community filled with new friends. We supported one another as we walked through the fear of reaching for success. We even supported one another when life got us down. Especially when it got us down...or sent challenges that felt bigger than us. We found a sisterhood. 

As the first anniversary of the 2011 Flying Lessons class comes around, our private Facebook group is abuzz with remember-when's, with gratitude, and thoughts of what the coming years will bring. 

One thing we know for sure is that we want to make our anniversary about celebrating the spirit of giving that has been such an important part of our journey this year. So for the month of August, we are focusing on giving. Check back on the 20th to find out just how we are doing that...as individuals and as a group. I think you just might find our giving could give you flight!
