Yesterday, I stalked Chance around the pasture for maybe thirty minutes before he finally let me catch him. That horse really knows how to push my buttons, and test my patience, like nobody's business. He has been difficult to catch the past couple of weeks, and honestly it is partly because my work schedule and …
Going to Nursing School!
I started on a new journey a year and half ago to become a nurse. I was a terrible student the first few times I went to college, and ultimately dropped out. I decided that college just wasn't for me all those years ago. Over the years, I have worked and lived life and was …
We’re Actually Doing It
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. …
Work Hard and Toughen Up
We get what we work for! There are very few shortcuts in life, and a whole lot of setbacks! But it is amazing what can be accomplished when we let go of excuses, put our heads down and work! I used to be a terrible student, and I always had an excuse for it. I …
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 …
