Powerful
You’ve got fire in your veins, and it’s time to own it. Decide what you want—*really want*. No more playing small, no more waiting around for someone else to hand it to you. See it in your mind like it’s already yours, because guess what? It IS
Now, here’s where it gets real: make a plan. Not some half-hearted, ‘maybe one day’ thing—no. A solid, fierce-as-hell plan that’ll make the universe take notice. And then? You show up. Every. Single. Day. No excuses, no distractions, just pure, relentless focus.
Because a Wild Woman doesn’t wait for dreams to fall into her lap—she goes out there and *grabs* them. Work for it like the world owes you nothing, but you owe yourself *everything*. You’ve got the power. Now use it. ✌🏽

“Remember your great field of labour is yourself. That is your first task, the weeding, the planting, digging, pruning, bearing fruit. When that is done I lead you out into other fields.”
Excerpt From
God Calling
A Russell
Our past keeps us sick and the past can heal us…you choose.
Addiction kills…the choice is clear from the outside looking in, yet making it is filled with a whole basket of rotten fruit.
Help is available…reach out to a hand willing to guide you.
If it first you don’t succeed try, try again… never let the disease win.

Are you feeling lost in your addiction?
It can feel like being stranded in the wilderness, with your mind clouded, your body depleted, and your soul shrouded in darkness.
I know I drank more than I should have, and I convinced myself it was just harmless fun. But deep down, I wanted to change, I just didn't know what that looked like or how to escape the grip of alcohol.
It controlled my mind and my desires, always leaving me wanting more.
Are you lost? Reach out and grab a hand who is wanting to help you…grib on tight because you will feel the pull to let go and do what you’ve always done. Be stronger than the disease.

This!!!
In light of Recovery Month
What if one day
you come to the realization
that you never again have to explain
yourself away to anyone anymore,
or that you no longer must carry
the burden of another’s false perception of you
or your own perceived inadequacies
and you could relax, finally,
in knowing you’re incredible
in the light you are standing in
at this moment.
And what if you go on to not care
about the judgments someone
else might have ; that your life is
not full or amazing enough
or that
you no longer feel the need to endlessly
apologize for being human?
That day
has been graciously
waiting for you
to begin swimming in
its warm waters of love
and acceptance ..

SEPTEMBER IS RECOVERY MONTH.
This disease is cunning, baffling and extremely powerful. It grabs you even when you want so badly to not be in its grips.
The choice is not ever between loving your family or using. The choice is made in the moment…that inbetween not having too much and not having enough.
Rehabs are full and depend on insurance. Waiting is not an option when a person decides they want help, yet that’s what’s expected. We loose many loved ones “moment” because of the process and the limited beds, financial aide, and time.
Time is not good for an active user. And tomorrow may be too late.
People say, “if they really want it they will wait” its not about want, its about need, and the need for drugs will win if time is given.
Moving forward is necessary for everyone…in addiction or going through and even those who are lucky to not be affected by this disease.
Love and compassion is necessary for both the user and the loved ones. Yet this does not mean you put up with abuse, you also do not participate in the abuse, walk away until the moment is right.
Talking with an addict in their disease means you are talking with their drug of choice, they’ve already lost their ability to think properly. 
This disease kills.
Kills The user. Kills Their families, kills innocent bystanders.
Get support.
Be proactive.
Be an advocate.
This is my opinion.

September is dedicated to recovery,acknowledging that addiction affects multiple aspects of our lives, beyond just drugs and alcohol. To regain control, focus on personal growth and harness the power of your mind, which can lead to both destruction and glory. The choice is yours.

Fear not is in the Bible 365 times, not my accident?
Live miracles are around us everyday, even amongst the hard times.
Fear is the base behind all resentments, anger, hate, worry, anxiousness and depression.
What is a way you use the words fear not daily?

This one hit me…
Hurt people, hurt people.
I get the honor to be able to listen to others' life stories, and in doing so I hear the abusive ways others treat their loved ones, and how we as humans carry their words and actions around with us for years.
I've seen the healing horses give to humans and I want to share that with you. One Neigh at a Time.

TC Neigh, “Seek to connect to your spiritual guide, and joy will prosper, seek only for joy and you'll never find it.”
Gestaltist Kathy says, “I drank for years to find joy, and all I found were joyful moments yet the hurt was still lurking about inside. I'm learning to seek God, in all things, and joy finds me.”

Cami Neighs, “Sometimes we feel as if we’ve lost our footing, to stand up seems to hard to do…breathe, believe, stop trying to control the outcome and stand up one step at a time.” Gestaltist Kathy says, “The beautiful wonders of new life. Last night at midnight this beautiful colt was born. He had to work on standing up a few times, once up he stood wobbly yet with eagerness to take his first steps. Ever so slowly he moves one step at a time. Then the job of finding mum and his food source. Each step building sturdy confident movements.” We are the same when we attempt new things or ways of recovery. New things need sturdy confident steps, Horses can guide us toward our truths, one Neigh at a Time. Gestalt is the process of awareness, once you become aware, you stop laying down, and you get up on your shaky feet and walk forward.

Sky Neighs, “Wouldn’t you rather be moving forward in recovery, than going backwards in your addiction?” Gestaltist Kathy says, ”Your past is your journey to your present circumstanses, your choice is to allow the journey to wear you down or find a way to conquer yourself and move onward.” Horses, when driving, have blinders on so they may only look forward, they must trust their driver to protect them. They are predators, they listen, and watch to protect themselves and others. Gestalt coaching helps you to trust and understand the driver of your cart…you.

Horses have awakened a passion inside of me, and I want to share that excitement with women who are also eager to do more than just survive in their life. I want women to go beyond their recovery. Let’s find the woman who has been hiding inside, begging to be free from the hold her addiction, PTSD, pain, etc, has had on you.” Come to my barn and hear what my horses have to NEIGH to you.
Isn't it time you too, Trust the horse ~ Trust the process.
My addiction took me away from living a passionate, authentic life, and I am now excited and honored, with my horse's help and the gestalt way of recovery, to have found my way. I don’t want you to live one more day with a substance running your life. Be fully present for your family and friends every day, with a clear mind and a healthy body.
