I can certainly relate. Can you?

I actually wrote this several years ago. It came up in memories today. But I’ve modified it just bit.

I have a daily consciousness. What I mean by that is, it’s something that I actually think about every single day. (Mostly) And that, is an awareness, or thought process, or an intent to better myself.

Now that encompasses a lot of things. One of those things obviously (if you know me) is to become a better horse person. That means a better rider as well as a better communicator as well as a better horse person in general.

Another part of that, however, is to better myself. I think about that often. What are the things that I can do to become a better person. For instance, things such as better time management. Being more organized. Having a better relationship with God. Being more aware and considerate of those around me. All those things.

One of the reasons that I thought about that today very specifically right now is because time management is a really big challenge for me. It’s one of many changes I need to make in order to reach my goal of Rookie Reiner (I stepped away from this goal years ago after one of my horses was injured in training. I couldn’t do it to the horses any more!).

And now I have new goals. And… One of the things I will be working on diligently in the next weeks and months ahead is time management. Declutter, get Brave Horse Center looking like I envision, spend more quality time with my horses, be a better friend, get taxes done way early, etc.

And lastly, friends I thank you for all your love, support, and input….

Oh, and be on time🤣🤣🤣.

Well, I did a thing yesterday.

Mustang time again.

Not only did I get my mustang for the competition next year, but… drum roll here… we picked up two babies.

One is actually Rich’s, my husband. That was such a surprise. He’s not usually that interested in the horses. This little darling got into his heart.

So, of course I had to get a baby to keep his company.

The one on the right is mine.
