About Me

Linda: I am blessed to care for many special souls. We have nine horses on our little ranch: Cowboy, Beautiful Girl, Leah, Cowgirl, Little Joe, Lily, Foxy Mama, Tumbleweed, and the newest addition, Epona, who survived pharyngeal dysfunction as a newborn foal. Our family also includes Piper (wolfhound), Lucy (Lab), Tuffy, Grady, Little Girl & Dan, our working cats. My husband and I love life together. We have been married for over 20 years and it still feels like we’re newly wed. We’re simpatico. We have a big combined family of amazing humans, and we love them all. We’re blessed beyond belief and we don’t deserve any of it! Grace. “What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven’t even happened yet.” —Anne Frank This blog is about always striving to be better, while embracing the past, present, and future. For me, 2023 is about learning to lean into God, and trust that everything is under the care of my Creator. Counting my blessings while I can.

Ride A Wild Horse

What do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Mary Oliver.

Ride a wild horse
against the sky
hold tight to her wings
before you die
whatever else you leave undone—
once ride a wild horse
into the sun.
