Dances with Horses

Time seems to tick away and it hardly seems like Dances with Horses is here and gone already!  What an amazing show!  Stay tuned for pictures and there is a video.  You will be able to recapture this amazing night through Blue Sky Productions!   Everyone did an amazing job.  Entertainers, staff, volunteers, interns.  There are so many to name.  Video, photography, sound, announcer, singer.   Everyone at the gates, barns, silent auction, tickets, programs, it was truly amazing.   I am truly blessed to have my best friend Deb here for a short time!   I love it when a plan comes together.   Can't forget to thank Kris for the amazing chili and cookies and water etc. for the volunteers and entertainers.   Great job Kris.  I truly appreciate your help with feeding all of us.   It definitely was a night filled with memories.   God was in the midst of all of us.   Thanks to the wonderful audience for making our night possible.  Share with all your friends and bring them back next year.   I am so filled with joy and love that I can't hardly contain myself.   Tears of joy come to mind.  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Patches and memories

I have been thinking!  Oh boy my husband says I think to much!  My mind races with so many thoughts.  Some days clear thinking and sometimes just random thoughts.   Is your mind filled with all sorts of muddle?  I have to pause and decide what to keep and what to throw away.  Our houses are sometimes filled with stuff.  What do we do with all the stuff? 

I have decided to dedicate my life to giving back to others.  I have found that stuff is not so important, memories are important.   I get muddled when I want to make so many lasting memories and fill my life with joy. 

I try to take one day at a time and cherish the memories of that day.  Yesterday morning I had to take one of favorite barn cats to the vet as she got run over.  I cried for her loss but when I read a post I stopped and remembered the memories that she had instilled in so many peoples lives the short time she was on this earthly life.   She will be cherished and remembered for ever as the one eyed kitty that loved people and attention.  She was a special kitty and loved by all.  Patches was saved by one of our staff a few years ago.  She would not have been able to make so many memories if she had not been saved.  We will all miss Patches but we will treasure the memories she brought to all of us.

We share memories, love, excitement, joy and lessons in life by being with our horses, dog and cats.  They teach us new lessons each day.  We want you to be part of the memory making process.   I have a friend that says allow, allow, allow and listen, listen, listen. 

We have the beautiful joy of listening to the thundering hooves, watching the horses run in the pasture at dusk and watch the sunset through the windows on the old hog house.  Memories!  Thinking about the peace it brings to listen and watch.  Memories!  Patches will be with us in our hearts forever as will all the animals that have passed before us and the people that have touched our lives is some way to create POSITIVE memories.  By creating and being part of memory making we get the chance to create and establish lessons, tools, skills and love.   Be part of the memory making process.  That ladies and gentlemen to me is success.  We need money to live but our wealth is the relationships and memories we make that make a difference.
