"One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others."
~Lewis Caroll
Today is an awesome day for my fellow Fly-Tribe members as we look back to one year ago. All of us took that amazing step to sign up for Kelly Rae Robert's Flying Lessons online course. Little did any of us realize how this class would change our lives. The biggest plus for me has been the awesome friends I have met through the Facebook page that was set up for us. We have been there for each other, just as best friends are for one another. We've been the shoulder that you can unload to and cry on, we send mighty big cyber hugs to one another, we've been there for each other through births, deaths, divorce, happy times and trying to help one another out through all the computer and techie advice on setting up websites and for getting our creative businesses going. Some have really taken off and flown high with their wings and others have decided the business route is not for them, but the friendships in this group are just too great to just give up and quit entirely...
As our one year anniversary was getting closer, we started communicating with one another and decided as a big thank you for all that this class has done for us, that we would donate and sponsor other potential students who would be signing up for the next Flying Lesson's class that Kelly Rae Roberts would hold. We contacted Kelly Rae about this and she said she would match a sponsorship for each one that we raised. And it so happens, this will be the very last online class of Flying Lessons that she will ever offer. She said she'll still offer an ebook on it, but the class itself will cease to exist after this next one ends. There's still plenty of time to sign up for the next class which will start on September 17. You can get the information right here for Flying Lessons...
FYI, between what our Fly-Tribe donated and what Kelly Rae Roberts is matching, there will be 16 very lucky people who will get the chance to take this last class for FREE!! Yup, 16 people to take this class for FREEEEE!!!!
If you've even remotely thought about starting a creative business for yourself or want to see what might be involved to do so, then please consider signing up for this class NOW! I guarantee that you won't regret it...
In honor of this special event, my Fly-Tribe friends decided to hold a blog hop today to honor each of us who felt we wanted to give back for all that we have received from this class. If you click on the link below, you will be taken to our Fly-Tribe Blog where you'll receive more information on how to enter for a chance of winning a FREE class with Kelly Rae Roberts:

You have done such a great job in this post of summarizing our whirlwind and exciting year. It really is hard to believe that we all have only known each other for a year. I think because we share a passion for creating we bonded very quickly. Thank you for always being there. I am loving your recipes, too.
