I’m Ready to Talk About It

As I typed the title I felt the tears welling up ready to spring out at any moment. I swallowed and typed the first sentence. Then the second. Now the third. September 26, 2019 I carried my heart home and let Carter run free over the rainbow bridge. These have been the toughest months I’ve…

What’s good for the soul, is good for the saddle

I am a serial exercise fanatic. Well, maybe not fanatic but I have been known to start a program, stop a program, start a program. So, maybe I’m better coined as a serial exercise junkie? I’m not in great shape, I can admit it. I have years of neglecting my fitness piled up in my…

Thankfulness. Appreciation. Love. Timeless.

As we near the season of tradition, giving thanks, and renewal, I was searching for some quotes about dressage that reflect where I am with my training with Carter right now and found a few that seem to capture it well. “The passionate pursuit of perfection by the obsessively imperfect.”  – unknown I’m not one…

My company recently offered its…

2012… What is in store?

The first day of a new year. I’m not one for resolutions…I figure if I need one day to make up a list of things I should be doing anyway it’s a pretty weak reason to create them at all. This year I will think about happenings of the past less and instead take what…

Life truly does begin at the end of your comfort zone… but you have to be in it to realize that.

I borrowed this quote from a friend of mine… it embodies many of the positive things I live by — that pull me through some pretty tough times over the years. Maybe, if I reflect on it, maybe if I use it as my mantra, it will once again become comfortable; like a great sweater…

Serendipity

Well, here I am creating my first blog entry. Entering into the world of personalized social media…whoa, kinda scary. So many people have told me that I should write a book about the craziness I call my life, so I thought I’d venture here, first and see how it goes. I can’t promise regular updates….
