Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
This past week we had a young girl Everleigh come to our farm to watch Megan trick ride and to ride one of our horses. The look of excitement and joy on Everleigh’s face as Megan came out of the saddle and laid on the side of the horse with her arm stretched out to Aramis’ nose made my heart soar. Everleigh then had …
“My future starts when I wake up every morning. Every day I find something creative to do with my life.” – Miles Davis It is essential to stop throughout our day to check in with how we are feeling, the thoughts, emotions, and sensations that we are experiencing throughout our day to reboot our system, redirect the GPS to get …
As you know, prior to my horseback riding accident I was a busy, predominantly left-brained, decision maker and developer. After being a Public Health Nurse for 7 years, I owned and operated the Good Life Fitness Club for Women for 10 years, and then felt called by the Spirit to be a “Messenger of Hope” in a 3-point charge and …
I was honoured to assist in a funeral of Terry, a member of one of the churches that I have been working with. I met Terry eight years ago when I filled in one Sunday at his church.

Today, I want to talk about the importance of taking care of…you! If you’re like me, you can be harder on yourself than you would be on anyone else. I know after my accident I couldn’t perform as I used to. Even daily routines of meals, self-care, and simple tasks overwhelmed me. I berated myself again and again because I …
This last week I heard that a friend and mentor had passed. Deep love at times reveals deep sadness, but this means we have experienced joy, too! Out of tragedy can come unexpected blessings! My accident was devastating to me. I lost all confidence. I often felt overwhelming sadness and powerlessness. People would stay away because they didn’t know what …
Being RESILIENT is the number one key to calming the chaos and the ability to “bounce back when life bucks you off!” Life can change on a dime and create challenges and circumstances we feel ill prepared to deal with. Everyone at some time in his or her life has experienced this. My greatest challenge was adapting to life after …
Ever wake up feeling completely exhausted? Although you’ve slept you wake up feeling like you ran a marathon while you slept? I recently had one of those days. Every bone in my body ached and I was tired before the day began. Now you can say “Sharon it’s your age” but I am not accepting that as the cause thank …
Being Calm ~ Being Present ~ Being in Harmony Unlike humans, horses don’t stay up all night anxious and worrying.
