A day at the spa and a chance to finally pick up Elsa Sinclair’s book…? YES PLEASE.
I’ve been riding a strange vehicle these last months, one which is taking a physical journey towards new achievements every day, setting new records, breaking boundaries and building on many projects.
Yet as my journey continues and I observe these successes through the windshield with delight and a soft smile, there is a warning light beeping incessantly and flashing on the dashboard telling me that I am in terrible danger, that I am driving towards catastrophe, and that I need to turn around NOW. I know this warning now to be a ghost in the system (somewhat literally ). An electrical fault that had my vehicle in the garage for almost two decades whilst I wrung my hands and fretted over what it meant. Now I know. It’s fear, it’s excitement, it’s desire, it’s hope, it’s longing.
I’ve been practicing driving with the warning light on recently. It feels terribly dangerous to me, yet also kind of exciting, like a daredevil at the local fair! So far, success has prevailed, despite the bumps and stones!
Pushing forward into new worlds IS terrifying, but so is it beautiful beyond anything that is already known.
Taking this time for myself today to just BREATHE, stop and pick up a book that I have been so excited to read is yet another stop on the journey. Today we pull in to a motel, refuel and recalibrate before pressing on.
If you’re curious about what more is out there with horses, curious about the psychology of training without force, or just curious about why i’m so obsessed with this way of life, I suggest you find a copy of Elsa’s book.
As I am reading I am finding my centre, finding my inner compass, and finding clarity on my intentions and my philosophy to guide me as I move forwards.
It’s a whole new world out there beyond your wildest dreams…!
(Special thank you to my darling for this lovely birthday break 🥰)
