for my mental health
I have high blood pressure. I have had high blood pressure for 20 years. Last September I signed up for the emotional freedom technique of tapping on the head and upper body to release tension and provide emotional peace. I kept choosing different tapping sessions, one per day, and I now have lowered my blood […]

My crazy climbing experience
I climbed these crumbled steps of a Mayan Ruin 4 years ago. The steps are huge and it is very steep. Each step up was like 5 steps in a regular home staircase. The temperature felt like a 100 degrees out but my son and I made it. The hard part was coming down and […]

daily water consumption – new facts
Are you a health fit person who believes in drinking lots of water throughout the day. This was an interesting read from my chiropractor who posted info about how much water to consume. I do drink water but I notice that after a few glasses my urine is clear for the rest of the day. […]

get out and hike
Hiking around this fair province is tricky right now with snow everywhere but it doesn’t seem to matter much as the sun is shining high and wind is low. So I say let’s go! To tell you the truth my hiking shoes and these hiking pants are worth the dollar’s I spent for them. Wearing […]

dabble time
I like to dabble with drawing objects and watercolour flowers. If my drawing is not good enough, I cut it out. It then looks better. Like my orange flower and stem with leaves. I am like a kindergarten artist. Draw or paint it and then cut it out and glue onto a big sheet of […]

I ‘m all ears
It’s time to go be with our horse family. Yup ! they are good listeners and don’t talk back. It is interesting to watch their ears as you start a one way conversation. They are like a best friend.

This person turned my life around
I listened to a video that was titled “this one person saved our lives” I am turning that around to one person that was immensely significant for me to grow through what I went through. Okay the one thing that turned my life around was…..(It’s actually one person.)…….. Carol Tuttle (on instagram) and her facial […]

paper book reading
I have put away my e-reader and now reading books that I can flip the pages. I was going through my old suitcase where I store unused techie things and found this bookmark and reading light. I got it at Chapters/Indigo retail store a few years back. I even had the correct batteries for it […]

kundalini yoga
Do you know what type of yoga Kundalini is? Nope. I didn’t either until I attended a class through Zoom put on by my local yoga instructor last fall. I finished the class and said to myself “nope, I miss the regular asanas and postures and using supports with my blocks and my belts. However, […]

3 fabulous reasons I ride
I do like it when a horse is well trained and does everything I want and does not react or get his ears pinned back and turns and trots and canters only at my command. To be able to get that kind of horse ride is the process of consistent time with the horse. 3 […]

Ariat boots in the barn
These were once originally black. I got creative and let myself paint them a different colour using leather paint and acrylic paint. I don’t wear them anymore. They sit on a ledge in our barn. A conversation piece! They are great boots but I wore these when I was a nervous tense new horse rider […]

a closed daisy
This daisy never did open up. It made me sad as to why it did not open out. I find it so interesting. Or maybe it did open up fully and then it closed again. The bombing and destruction of Ukraine came to mind when I took this picture of the flower below. I have […]

favourite bridge
My partner trains colts. He made this bridge so that the horse could learn to cross it. At first they were unsure. Now they love to get on the bridge and just stand on it. It’s funny but this bridge is an obstacle that our horses can’t wait to step on and we use it […]

stripe pillow covers over here
Crisp, a bit bold and fresh for spring. I have been listening to House of Valentina’s decor tricks and her tips on the traps and wins for classic changes in the home as the seasons change. I took her advice and took off the velour rich purple pillow coverings that were great for winter. Her […]

the healing green with Irish fun
Green is a healing colour and plants are healers. Indoor plants promote the air quality in the house. Yucca tree leaves. Here is a chuckle for you. Several years ago I was learning to draw. I saw this picture of a leprechaun and I challenged myself. I got er’ done!

Horse, selfie and big snowbank
Every time I want my husband to take a photo, like this one, it is either to far away or off centre or blurry. I do appreciate him taking the odd photo for me. He is the horseman and owner of this horse. I am usually the photographer. Our sorrel horse, Ziggy, myself, and willow […]

Let’s Bloom!
I pull my sofa throw across my knees thinking of when I will see some bees buzzing around a new bloom calling all other buzzing friends to get that pollen before summer ends I look outside and know for sure the snow will melt even though it is not felt. Wishing for the beauty of […]

Crossing a bridge by myself no one to greet me at the end feels like I enter another part of the country a brave adventurer who crossed a bridge in the deep of winter What is on the other side? The only times I have ever crossed bridges is when I am hiking and on […]

perfect vs. playful strategy
This simple list below was shared with a group of very supportive people who like me, tend towards making sure things are done right and perfectly, a little bit excessively. I am really good at ……. Wanting to control outcomes instead of enjoying the process. Wishing the past were different instead of gratitude for my […]

a pop of colour
The March sunshine and snow sticking to the branches with berries. The snow clings onto the beginning of March this year. The sunshine is becoming stronger and will soon conquer so we can see the renewal of this earth once again.

Sometimes we are just off a bit. I like to be reminded that I don’t have to always be centered perfectly.

not just horses over here
We have our horses that we feed and ride and care for, and now we have a large family of whitetail deer sleeping and eating at the tips of our willows and ash trees, scratching for any kind of food. There is no sign of snow melting yet. That aside, because I have posted enough […]

Ice is Nice for my Eyes

ruby red power
These shoes are an imitation of Dorothy ‘s glittering red shoes that were placed on her feet to help her get back home. Linda the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz movie musical placed them on her feet with her magic wand. Oh how I watched this movie over and over again. The ruby […]
