about resilience ……
“I wish people understood that it’s never the terrible things that happened to you that make you stronger; it’s the resiliency-building skills you engage toprocess the terrible things. What doesn’t kill you can make you stronger, but only if you feel your feelings, process your experience (i.e., figure out what theexperience means to you), and […]

An old horse’s health
This horse is at least 27 years old (he may be even 28 or 29) We bought him in 2002 when he was 6 years old. He did not have registered papers. This winter we are noticing his health is deteriorating as he is getting thin; always was a slow eater. My husband is feeding […]

January 15th day of honouring + a magical quote
This is the 12th day of finding magic in January. This quote about loss is a little magic for me each time I read it on this day. Every moment that’s ever been, or ever will be, is gone the instant it’s begun. So life IS loss. And the secret of happiness is to learn […]

January 14th – my magical man
I do not mention very much how my husband is behind the scenes doing magical things for me and around the acreage and home. Here are a few pics I am sharing of him because he is not much for selfie photos but he is a good sport! He has a very dry wit and […]

Dear 2023 …my word for you is ‘connect’
I use to have a word for every new year and I now am beginning with that again for this year and the word is CONNECT. I have this urge to connect with the human race better than I ever used to. Connection is so funky now with the pandemic restrictions dropped and we can […]

3 ways I got rid of back pain
The aging gracefully statement is now serious business as I enter into the last half of my sixties. I caused a strong ache and stiffness in my back that has made me stop my exercise classes for now. It could of happened during aquacise at the pool or a yoga stretch over done or lifting […]

Holiday Grief
It is always November that I sense my grief so intensely, (or I used to). The surge of Christmas preparations beginning and all gift ideas and recipes with the family sent me into a hurtful tail spin. I no longer have that pain in November as I have worked through it. There should be 4 […]

long hand written affirmations
This is about affirmations. I understood that they were just fake words made to place an idea in my head. Here is a better explanation: An affirmation is a positive statement of (positive) belief, and if we can become one-tenth as good at positive self-talk as we are at negative self- talk, we will notice […]

when you miss the mark
I am sometimes misunderstood. People’s perceptions of me are so wrong so much of the time. Maybe they are just not paying enough attention. Things get a bit blurry. Did I miss the mark or did they? lol! It feels uncomfortable when I am misunderstood and find myself in someone’s spider web and you don’t […]

stepping up and letting go
So many times I have stepped up and planted my foot in a stirrup and kept my focus between the ears of my horse and my thoughts on the rhythm of the ride. This photo gives me a strong sense of letting go as I took the shot I was pulled to thoughts of how […]

any glittery winter plans?
I am still contemplating about vacation plans that involve flying with an airline. I am thinking there has to be a way to vacation without the hoopla and stress for me to get on an airplane. It loses its glitter and sparkle . If I just tap my heels together and fly that way like […]

when you finally finish
You know when you have been working on something for a long period of time and then all of a sudden it is done. You finish it. You perfect it forever it seems and it is over. You tell someone, have a drink, make a phone call and celebrate. I began writing this story in […]

expo to learn from the horse
Saskatoon Horse Expo 2022 It was so nice to get back to this annual expo. The last 2 years were cancelled. We are very interested in working with a horse. We own 5 years and we began our riding the horse journey back in 2001. It is nice to own a pet. Horses are bigger, […]

play date
Our friend came over with her two little boys yesterday and it was a fun time just playing. We had noodle fights, visited our horses in the pasture and then halloween cupcake snacks in between. It was a good feeling to play like a child and follow their imaginations. A play date to remember. Until […]

if it’s shiny its got to be good
I was told once that all things shiny are not as special as we think they are. I will never forget my silent response to that statement. “Excuse me, I like alot of things shiny.” This silver concho on my western saddle brightens my tacking and saddling process. It makes me feel rich and elaborate […]

a tendency we are born with
I will start with my tendency and that is: We are born with a natural tendency. I am reliable, committed and have no problem meeting outer expectations. I do have struggles with meeting my inner expectations I will oblige what others want to do first. This Obliger tendency is the most common group of people. […]

velvet pillows for bedroom
A while ago I posted about getting new pillow covers to change up the season decor in place of buying another set of pillows. I wanted a new pillow colour/pattern for the living room but this is where these beautiful rich dark blue pillow cases are now. If you have read this far, and were […]
