Pride is a tricky thing for many of us. We’ve been taught to dismiss compliments to keep us from attracting too much attention or getting a big head. We’ve been warned that focussing too much on accomplishments can suck the meaning out of living.  But there are times in life when we do something really great. In this episode, we are going to tell you about what goes into shearing our guanacos. After all, we did get these animals for their special fiber. We are going to tell you about our brave shearer, Clint, and all the many things we’ve tried to make shearing a better experience for everyone.  Then we are going to tell you a bit about this exquisite fiber and exactly why making yarn out of it is so challenging.  The story of my championship ribbon and the spinners who shared that moment with me is wonderful.  And, finally some tips on how to feel pride with joy.
