I’ve always loved wildflowers. These little flowers hold a special place in my heart because they remind me to look for wild beauty in the hidden places of life.  Wildflowers grow in some of the harshest environments, and despite their circumstances, they thrive.

I couldn’t put words to what I was feeling for a long time because I had never experienced anything like this before, and no one had ever explained what an anxiety attack was. I felt lost and alone until I realized that these tidal waves of worry only happened when I tried to control every area of my life.
You know that phrase "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." Well we don't have a lot of rain here right now, but I sure am learning to dance in the snow. Both literally and metaphorically.
Some days I suffer hard from imposter syndrome. I feel like I never quite belong, especially when it comes to the horse world. I never took any lessons so I don't really know the fancy side of riding with flying lead changes and posting on the diagonal. And I love the western lifestyle but I've never worked on a ranch with cows.
"On that day, a day no different from any other, something inside me inexplicably unravels, my marionette strings falling away like ribbons."
We aren’t meant to live life clinging to the saddle horn the whole time. We’re meant to be
