Created on Purpose
Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered why God created you the way that He did? Or maybe you see someone on the street and wonder why you can’t have the same things as them. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of comparison that the enemy sets up for us. When…

I’m what you would call a wannabe-green thumb. I love plants, I have several throughout my house, and I’ll always adopt a couple more when I see them in stores. The only thing is that I struggle to keep them alive. When you come over, you’ll see plants happily growing in cute pots, but what…

Lessons from the Round Pen
Anyone who has worked with horses will tell you that they never stop learning. You’re always learning how to be a better rider, trainer, listener, and partner.

Compassion Over Comparison
I’ve written about this topic before (click here to read my other posts) but it’s something that I don’t think can be talked about enough, so I’m going to write about it again. What issue am I talking about? Comparison. This is a word that has bombarded our media and has addressed about so many…
Fearful Dreaming
"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." Walt Disney We all have dreams of varying degrees. Maybe it’s a dream house, a dream job, or a goal of some other kind, we as humans are designed to dream. We aren’t meant to stay in one mindset; we’re hardwired…
