Many years ago, when I was in my forties, I was having coffee with my mother. Without warning, she looked at me and asked: "What does it feel like to be an old maid?" I remember being stunned. The question landed like a stone in my chest. I did everything I could to keep from crying. You see, I had never imagined my life unfolding the way it did. Like many women, I imagined sharing life with someone special. I imagined walking hand in hand through fields with dogs chasing around. Sharing home-cooked meals. Building a beautiful home. Growing older beside someone who … [Read more...]

What horses quietly teach us about awareness, stillness, and living fully in the moment. In today’s fast-moving world, many people feel pulled in multiple directions at once. Our attention is scattered between responsibilities, technology, and the constant stream of information that fills our lives. In the midst of this busyness, the ability to be fully present has become both rare and deeply valuable—and horses show us what that presence looks like. Interestingly, some of the greatest teachers of presence are not spiritual teachers or mindfulness experts—they are … [Read more...]

I drew this card from my Horse Wisdom Oracle card deck this morning. It seems so appropriate and timely. Belleza Fiera is here to remind you, that although the world is masculine, your feminine presence and leadership is crucial to the survival of all. BELLEZA FIERA | Honor the Lead Mare   Wild horses roam and instinctively travel in a herd. A dominant male stallion protects the herd from predators while positioned in the rear. The lead mare, also called the Alpha Mare, decides when a herd will move and where it will move. She leads all members to food and … [Read more...]

During times of chaos, strong and often charged opinions, and unavoidable change, how can we be the mare with graceful strength that is non-reactive and clear about what she sees and senses?  This card, from my Horse Wisdom Oracle Deck inspires me to have a practice for clarity and communication. I hope it inspires you too . . . Make a habit of speaking your truth with neutrality, gentleness, and kindness. The evening glow illuminates a pure white mare with a rosy radiance and casts a golden light on her mane. She demonstrates grace in her stride. The white mare is a … [Read more...]

Diva the Mare. The Mother. The Space Holder. The Divine Feminine.  So often, I write about Moon, my thirty-three-year-old buckskin, first horse, and partner in working with thousands of people to heal various emotional traumas and negative patterns and uplevel their consciousness and beliefs. And there is Diva. I have written the least about her, yet she is the one who seems to be steady, especially these days when Moon reaches his elder years, his arthritic legs are not as stable, and his mind is not as agile. Last year, I found myself at a crossroads and needed to … [Read more...]

When I pull an Oracle card from my deck, Oracle of the Sacred Horse, I always center myself, connect to my divine guidance, and ask for the best card for my community to come forward. Then, with the images lying face down, I scan the fanned-out deck with my hand until heat and tingling ignite in the center of my palm. When I drew this card, my initial reaction was one of surprise. “This card again? Didn’t we already explore this one last summer?” Indeed, you can even find a video of me discussing it on my blog.  So, I returned it to the deck, got distracted with … [Read more...]

Let's face it, being dissed or ignored by a beloved equine is not an experience anyone wishes to experience. Receiving no recognition of your presence from a horse you have cared for and partnered with is truly uncomfortable and disappointing.  And that is how Corazon, a once-wild stallion, responded to me when I last saw him.Corazon and I have been on a journey of eighteen years since I adopted him. The BLM had labeled him "untrainable" and "unrideable." He came to me after I introduced myself to Ginger Kathrens. Months later, she and I were at the prison in Colorado, … [Read more...]

This winter, we’ve seen massive amounts of snow in Southwest Colorado, and this past week brought a storm with dangerously high winds and many more inches of snow. I must admit that my heart pounds a little faster, and my stress levels rise when I see my horses in conditions shared in the below clip of Corazon walking through the storm.   Yet they stand with resilience, listen deeply to their inner wisdom, and when the sun finally comes out, they take a nap.   This week my horses remind us to stand with strength and calm during a storm. Resource your inner … [Read more...]
