My goodness, it has been a long time. I thought I would never get back to blogging, even though I have missed it so! I don't even know where to begin. Over the past year, I have begun my nursing career. I got married. I moved again. I started showing Flynn. Well, we went to …

Winter Solstice Vibes
Winter solstice. When the day is short, the weather is cold, and normally quiet horses turn into fire breathing giraffes. Okay, okay Flynn didn't breathe fire this morning but he did have some giraffe vibes during our ride this morning! And considering the fact that it was in the 80s all last week, I can't …
Getting My Life Back
I finally finished nursing school, and I feel like a new person. I have free time again. I am not longer bogged down by stress and burnout. I am getting my life back. I know it sounds dramatic, but nursing school was such a huge commitment and took so much out of me. It also …
Slowing Down
It's funny, I recently wrote a post about time management and now I haven't posted in nearly two weeks. I suppose that I still have a lot of room for improvement when it comes to managing my time. To be honest, this semester has already been a lot. Between the general workload of nursing school …
A Way of Life
Horses are a way of life. They aren't just a hobby. This isn't just a sport. Being a horse person is a lifestyle. We have horses in our blood. Sometimes it feels like this lifestyle chose me. I always knew I would have horses. I have always kept journals, since I was a kid, and …
No Excuses
"I don't have time to workout." I hear this all the time when I talk about my own personal fitness journey, or my fitness coaching business. And you know what, I don't have time either. I am a full time nursing student in a BSN program, and I work in a hospital one or two …
Not Enough Energy to Workout?
Do you have enough energy to workout? The responses to a poll on my Instagram story a couple weeks ago inspired this post! If you don’t have the energy to workout (and are not struggling with health issues), ask yourself a few questions: 1. Am I getting enough sleep? 2. How is my nutrition? 3. …
Maybe We Should Just Let Them Be
I am in several horse groups over on Facebook, and some of the recent posts I have been seeing have gotten me thinking a bit about all the stuff we do (and give) to our horses. Hormones, supplements, complicated feeding regimens, head to toe fly protection, injections, chiropractic work, and the list could go on …
Getting Into The Word
“If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that joy might be full.” - John 15:10-11 My journey through the Book of John continues. …
Why Are We All So Busy?
This is a question that I have pondered for years. Why is there always so much to do all the time? Why are there never enough hours in the day? If this whole quarantine/COVID-19 situation showed me anything, it's that life would be a heck of a lot more pleasant if I had a little …
