Chemo, this phase of my treatment is almost over. So far, I have breezed through the chemo treatments and I have only two left. If everything goes as planned, I’ll be done a week from today. I say I’ve breezed through, but it hasn’t been without its trials. The last...

As I was contemplating what to write about this evening it occurred to me I usually just sit down and let it flow. This is another Trust The Process moment. I sit down at the computer and let my brain and fingers go to work. That’s how we’re taught to have Equine...

John’s first swim meet of the summer was June 2 in Holyoke, CO. The first one is always there because they have an indoor pool and sometimes it can be a bit cold. This is the farthest from Oakley. According to Google Maps, it’s 177 miles and takes 2 hours and 41...

Have you seen the FaceBook meme where Pooh and Piglet are talking about days when you feel “Not Very Okay At All”? I’ve had a little over a week and a half of those. While I was in Colorado for my last Touched By A Horse® Core and Graduation my left knee and feet...

I am certified in the Equine Gestalt Coaching Method® and graduated on May 19. My last Core workshop was also that weekend. Since I was diagnosed with breast cancer in November I have been amazed by the outpouring of support that I’ve seen. Everyone in the small town...

We all hear about the side effects of chemotherapy. The hair loss. The vomiting. But I’ve found a few things that I hadn’t heard about. My hair loss has been spotty. I haven’t lost all the hair on my head. I still must shave my legs but not as often and I think I’ve...

Sometimes the Universe has a way of slapping you in the face to wake you up. That happened to me in the last week. On Thursday (May 3) we celebrated our 32nd Anniversary. I know, hard to believe that someone as young as me could be married 32 years. It was a normal...

My Touched By A Horse® Herdmates will understand this. I think Melisa Pearce has said this at least once at every Core (training workshop) I’ve been to. Someone would be coaching another student and would ask Melisa for help or show signs of confusion. Melisa would...

I don’t remember a time when horses weren’t a part of my life. Not because I lived on a farm or my parents were interested in horses. But because my grandpa had horses at his farm. He is responsible for every horse that has come into my life up to this point. Even 28...

I consider myself spiritual. I’ve been working on my spirituality for almost 8 years now. A while back a friend commented that I must sometimes ask why me. That got me thinking about a lot of things. I’ve seen an inspirational quote about success asking, “why not me”....
