Evening sunshine after the rain.

Good morning world! It's been raining here for three days solid and I am so grateful for the water - remember we're in southern Portugal and it's a hot and dry climate. But boy, does it make chores hard! Not looking forward to cleaning the horse paddock after 3 days of not being able to. Mudfest!

What drains your spirit drains your body. What fuels your spirit fuels your body. Caroline Myss

IT’S OK - Repeat these after me, and then keep on repeating whenever you have self-doubt: It’s ok to be the version of you that you want to be and not the vision of perfection demanded by society. It’s OK to look in the mirror and smile before you comb your hair or brush your teeth; you are always worth a smile. It’s OK to wear the clothes you are comfortable in, and not the ones you see in model magazines. It’s OK if you don’t love 100% of your job, but at the same time, it’s ok to love the fact that it gives you a salary. It’s OK that you have a fight with your partner or good friend; it just means you trust them enough to share that emotion. It’s OK to daydream. Sometimes our most creative solutions come from these fantasy moments. It’s OK that you don’t like everyone; not everyone is vibrating at the frequency that appeals to you. It’s OK to be sad, upset, angry, depressed and love ourselves through it by actively finding ways to receive help. It’s OK to be playful, silly, or joy-filled and not worry about how others perceive you. They’re just jealous that you are strong enough to be your authentic self. It’s OK to be you, fearlessly!

Second (and final) load of sand arrived yesterday, at last! What does this mean? It means that I can finally start to work, teaching people and training horses. Yay! Exciting times!

Good morning!

Well, this escalated quickly 😅 From zero to six horses in less than 2 months... I love the way the kids are spending time with them. Not all are mine btw. (Children and horses)
