Horses Can Keep the Energy Vampires Away

Energy vampires – that’s what came up in my Daily Wisdom Message today. You know the ones; they want to drain you of all your energy by spewing all their negative energy. They are the people who get themselves in a tizzy and want to vent to anyone within earshot....

My Experiences with Hope Held By A Horse

It’s a glorious Monday in late August. I arrived home late from a new experience over the weekend. There is a non-profit that is run by an Equine Gestalt Coach® called Hope Held By A Horse. It helps women cope with the emotional ravages of breast cancer. This weekend...

There May Be Many Reasons Behind Procrastination

I have a huge, time-sensitive project that I need to tackle. One of the things that makes my life the most uncomfortable is that I tend to procrastinate. This particular project was going to be on a time crunch anyway because I didn’t get the names that I needed as...
