Recently Iā€™ve had some trouble with inspiration. Last week and early this week along with a lack of inspiration some family drama kept me from writing a blog post. Then this morning after thinking a lot about how I would manifest my vision it hit me out of the blue ā€“ inspiration.

carnival at night

Sometimes my mind spins like a carnival ride.

Itā€™s funny how that works. Something triggers the thought. My hands started to sweat and my mind started racing. All I wanted to do was follow that path. Unfortunately, life sometimes gets in the way. So, I had to put it on hold for a little bit.

My vision, even before I wrote it for the Equine Gestalt CoachingĀ® program has included getting Quarter Horse Racehorses off the track, rehabbing them, retraining them (if they are sound enough), and reselling or rehoming them. Iā€™ve never considered this thought as a horse rescue but maybe I should be looking at it that way.

All it takes is a little reframing and my mind is racing with the possibilities. I have a friend who has a rehab facility for Thoroughbreds. I have another friend who runs a horse rescue. I will be visiting with them both about the possibilities.

As I see it part of the horsesā€™ rehab can be coaching. If they are not sound enough to be ridden, they may be able to coach and still have a useful life.

Winding road

There may be curves or bumps in the road ahead.

I wrote this while in a waiting room. I am very good at keeping busy in waiting rooms. When I got home, I discovered something that may help another part of my vision come to life. Itā€™s been a hard day to sit down and do the mundane things of living that need to be done.

A simple little thought has major consequences and starts my mind racing. Will it come to fruition? At this point, I donā€™t know. I still have a lot of research to do.

Right now, my mind is a little overwhelmed. But itā€™s a good overwhelm, one thatā€™s full of possibilities for the horses and for me.

It just feels Good To Be Alive.
