I have been saying FOREVER that I am going to get Chance working again after his super long hiatus. But here's the thing, when you take a long time off of something it is so hard to get back to it - even if it's something you love. I got used to not working horses. …

Well Hi There
It has been a while. A long while. Between school, work, and life I just haven't had much time for blogging. I also haven't had much time for the horses. And how can I keep up a horse blog when I'm not doing much with horses? Sure, this blog is somewhat of a "lifestyle" blog …
Happy Monday! What Are You Doing For You This Week?
Whoo hoo, we've finally had some good sunshine last week! Which, of course, means that I had decent lighting for my post-run selfies! 😉 Last week was kind of crazy. I waited until the last minute to start studying for a Nutrition exam, so I of course just about wore myself out cramming for it! …

So Much to Tell
Wow, it has been WAY too long since I've posted on here! I swear, one of these days, I will get better about that! A lot has been going on, as usual. But that is no excuse! First off, this has been such a long time coming (three years, actually) but the horses are finally here! …
Lessons in Fence Building
It has been an exciting week as we have begun building fences (for horses) on the farm! There is something so rewarding about doing it yourself. I'll be honest, I thought my parents were nuts when they said we were going to build at least some of our fences ourselves, but now I get it. …

Be Kind
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” - Hebrews 13:2 I love this verse, and I love thinking about angels walking among us! It seems that these days we tend to shy away from the supernatural aspects of Christianity. We can't forget that God is not of this world, …
How to Make Time for Your Fitness When You Have No Time
Let's face it, life is just busy these days. So often, as a fitness coach, people tell me they are too busy to workout and eat right because of their job, kids, horses, school, what have you. But the truth is, we all have something that keeps us busy! We all work in some way …

Loving the Here and Now
Learn to love the life you have now! Change what you can, and accept what you can’t! There was a time when I was constantly looking to the future, and even to the past. I thought that my life wasn’t good enough right where I was. I was dissatisfied, and just completely miserable, when I …
Life These Days
Good grief, it has been a while since I've posted on here! Too long of a while, for sure! This year has brought a lot of change so far. I started going back to school, after five years off, which has kept me pretty busy. It has definitely been an adjustment getting used to balancing …
