Perspectives change. I’m going to go so far as to say that they should change. Perspectives are merely viewpoints about that which we believe to be true. Life’s experiences very often change our perspectives. Although perspectives are intangible, they are very powerful; they can actually alter the direction of your life. Sometimes, perspectives are nothing…
DetailsIn 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…
DetailsWhile 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…
DetailsI did not foresee the events of last week coming. Or maybe, subconsciously, I did…In my last post I talked about caring for our senior horse, Copenhagen. He was not just another animal, he was part of our family for the past thirteen years. He was, for a long time, my daughter’s whole world. As…

DetailsI 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…
DetailsCan 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…
DetailsJust 6 short days until Christmas. Despite this last week being very busy, with no spare time, I managed to spend just a few minutes a day to decorate the house with Christmas cheer. I am not done yet, but I am no longer stressed. I will have everything ready when my stepson and daughter-in-law…
DetailsI hardly know where to begin telling you about my week. Last week, on the evening of Saturday the 19th, my stepson and his wife stopped by for the night and to drop off their cat and dog for us to watch while they went to visit other family. Our nephew and his fiancé also…
