HI there, Welcome! So this is my first blog post on my first official blog! How exciting is that!!!!! (but also quite scary!) I figured I would start this blog off by telling you more about the purpose and intent of this blog.
The biggest challenge for me is to get this out to you while keeping my inner critic quiet enough to write it! Ever heard her (or him)? Call it ego, mean girl, shadow self, etc– it’s the part of you that says you can’t do it, no one’s gonna read me, who’s gonna care about this?! Well, she’s been a constant companion on my journey for many years! While I may have looked like I “had it all together” on the outside, boy was it a different story on the inside!
And guess what?!?!
My horses and dogs were the first to call me out on it!!!! We can hide our sadness, fears, and insecurities from others but not from our biggest teachers—-our animals. Horses really are amazing spiritual teachers and healers which is why they can be found at rehab centers and helping individuals with disabilities heal. Ever heard the story of how an autistic child who never speaks to anyone, yet opens up around horses? There’s just something special there and I aim to celebrate that. Not only was I the little girl wanting a pony for Christmas who never grew up but I’m also the survivor who has been blessed by the healing power of horses. It is for that reason why I devote a large part of my life and this space to our biggest spiritual and life teachers- our animals. There’s simply something different about riding or just connecting with another when you first able to come from a place where you are whole and fully present. So while you might have horses or other furry family members in your life or not I believe that anyone in any kind of relationship can benefit from this blog and the journey to becoming the best you you can be!
Overcoming the fear, depression, anxiety and doubt to achieving my true self and happiness is a journey I know many people are on and while I’m still on the winding path, I’m finding many more stops at happiness and wholeness. Getting through this journey of life is my goal and what this space is all about. So while I still don’t have it “all together”, I’m working on it and invite you to join me. I plan to also touch on areas related to overall wellness through a balanced body, mind, and spirit perspective including mediation, running/walking, being a vegetarian transitioning to a more plant based diet, yoga, travel and all things related to creating what I feel is a full, happy, and magical life! I envision this to be a place to celebrate wellness from a mind/body/spirit perspective and sharing that wonderful you with others in your life especially, your animals. I invite you to pack your bags and join me in discovering all the magic life truly has to offer!
Have questions or topics you wanna talk about? Please feel free to add a comment or drop me a line! We are all on this journey together so please share!
Let the journey begin!
