Identity can be a funny thing. It changes so quickly and is dependent on so many factors, the biggest of which is people. We base our identity, who we see ourselves as, on how other people perceive us. All too often though the way that other people see us shifts depending on who they are [...]
What do you get when you mix horses, fantasy, and frosty November days? My FAVOURITE book!
It can be so hard for me to read books about horses because I work with them everyday so I pick out all kinds of plot holes when I read or watch fiction about horses. But this book is amazing, because it makes me forget about the world. It totally absorbs me, and reminds me why I love horses so much. Plus it gives me an excuse to mix horses with books which is always enjoyable.

A warm horse is a happy horse, and there's nothing better than a happy horse...and a happy rider 😊

Today was a deep inhale for me. Last night I exhaled after a stressful week and today I inhaled all that is slow and comfortable. Sometimes you just need a day full of soft light, good food, cozy blankets, and good stories. Taking time to exhale is important, but don't forget to keep breathing. To keep inhaling. To pour life back into your soul, however that might look.

I've always loved horses. For a long time I held on tight to horses as the nucleus of my identity, so when I was no longer able to ride them due to a serious injury I was lost. I felt like a ship with no anchor, victim to the wind and waves of uncertainty and depression. I had lost the only thing that made me unique, and so I no longer knew who I was without horses. I had put so much stock into that area of my life that when it was taken away from me (even briefly) I was torn apart. But it was in those fragments of my identity that I saw who I really was, who I was created to be and where my worth and identity actually come from.

The other day while chatting with my very wise mentor she mentioned that the Lord cares more about our character than our comfort.
He's going to put us into situations that are totally out of our comfort zone and scope but it's because he longs to see us grow. He desires to see us become the person he created us to be. That means that we're going to uncomfortable. It means that we'll probably yell at God for putting us through this fire. But it also means that we're going to come out the other side stronger, wiser, and deeply connected with our Creator.
