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.
10 Day Love Yourself Challenge
If you don't love yourself, who will? Sorry, not sorry for the tough love! But we teach others how to treat us, based on how we treat ourselves. No, I don't mean go and buy yourself a bunch of expensive stuff and all your people will start buying you...
Being the light and building Squiggles part 2
I feel like I could write a book on "building Squiggles". I've had this horse since she was born but it feels like we have packed half the chapters in just the last month since I wrote about her last. A lot of what happened between part 1 and 2 was really more about...
Building Squiggles
Part 1 This summer I've been riding and training a horse named Squiggles. She's 5 years old and one that I have raised and other than the first 40 days, have done all the work on. I was going to sell Squiggles when she was young because I didn't think I needed a horse...
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...
Chasing The Elusive Last Second
One of the groovy things about me is that when I'm going through something, someone else is often going through it at the same time. This was confirmed to me when a friend and client reached out to me expressing how she's been a bit frustrated with her horses since...
What The Helmet!
I've been sporting a new look lately and honestly, I'm not overly thrilled with it. I'm closer to being okay with it than I was, but I still don't feel super confident with it. The look I'm talking about is the helmet look. The day after my 40th birthday I started...
Horses Don’t Give A Damn
Don't get me wrong, there are many things that horses care about. But to be frank, they don't care about most of the things you and I tend to focus on. Above all, horses do care about whether or not they are fed and watered and if they are comfortable in the elements....
When Unmet Expectations Ruin Your Day
It's taken me a while to learn this, and honestly, it's still a work in progress and practice. There is a balance to be found in all of this, but expecting something to go a certain way is a sure fire way to find yourself disappointed. Here is what I have to keep tabs...
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...
