On Saturday I went to a Wisdom Horse Coaching Demo. “What is ‘Wisdom Horse Coaching’?” you may ask. It’s a program in which horses mirror back energy patterns and blind spots that, once discovered, free up stuck energy and untapped potential.

I figured that sand dollars don’t often make it to shore there intact, due to the ragged shoreline and the rough surf. Still, I thought it would be nice to find one whole sand dollar, and imagined myself holding one in my hand. Read more…

Ok, I’m trying to think positively here. I remember hearing that Mother Theresa would not protest against anything, she chose to rally for what she wanted. Like she wouldn’t protest war, but she would rally for peace. So here’s my thinking. I’m all for Michael Vick truly repenting and throwing himself totally into humane education. I would love to see him work full time to educate against dogfighting and other forms of animal cruelty. Forget the NFL. He has more important things to do. Read more…

I have a sore arse and shoulders from walking backwards and waving a stick in the air. Dontcha love a long weekend of herding? This evening I took the dogs out for a run. Afterward, Bandit was lying down, panting with his eyes closed. I said, “Wow, did I finally wear you out?” On the word “out”, he jumped up, barked, and ran to the door, followed quickly by the other two barking dogs. Guess the answer is no!!
Look for my virtual book tour, including videos and interviews, on Facebook soon!
