Can you believe that there are just 14 days until Christmas Day? This year I am feeling a little behind on decorating the house. I finished gift shopping early this year, but haven’t gotten motivated to decorate the house. Last Sunday would have been a perfect day to put the lights on the house, but…
I have to say that this past week has been pretty good. I always get inspired after I’ve had some time off. Thanksgiving was all about family, and it was a fabulous day. The weekend consisted of just the “old folks” at home since my daughter had to go back to work Saturday. The rain…

While my mother is the eldest person living at my house, Copenhagen is the eldest animal. He turned 25 this past April. That is a respectable age for a horse; especially one that has been as active as he has been. Copenhagen is a Quarter Horse (no, we didn’t name him. He came with that…
In my last post, I was exclaiming what a good week I had. After years of wishing I could handle stressful situations better, I had made it a priority to go after real change. I was working hard to breathe through my stress. When I found myself getting upset, I purposefully chose to not contain…
