Here in the blog, you’ll find messages from my heart. Each time I sit down to write, my intention is to write something that someone else needs to hear and something my heart needs to say. I want to write something that will plant a seed and could potentially change the trajectory of someone’s life. It might not be yours today, but it may be tomorrow, so enjoy your time and come back soon.
My Feels Were Mixed Up
A couple weeks ago I entered a jackpot on my 5-year-old mare. We are in the building up speed and confidence stage so it was a bit of a blow when she caught a leg fell right down at the third barrel. We were making a really nice run too. She went down, got up and we...

I’m All The Things I Said I’d Never Be
Maybe it's something about turning 40 today or getting some cancer cut out of me last year. It could be because I lost a family member recently or the life review I did when almost t-boning a utility truck. I'm not sure, but I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately...
When Horses Do Body Work
I was on my way back to the house from doing morning chores last week and I noticed my horse Orro standing in front of the walk through gate. My mare Abracadabra was off in the distance standing in the shed on her own looking to be resting. I stopped to visit...
Be Your Own Cheerleader
When nobody celebrates with you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody compliments, then compliment yourself. It's not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It's up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside. - Joel Osteen I had my own little...
Who Do I Need To Be In The New Year?
Turning the page on a new year can feel like a real relief to many of us. It's a chance to start fresh, to start with a clean slate. It's time for renewal, setting new goals and making big plans. I've been pondering what all this means and why it makes me feel...
