Home Body

Home, is where you are most fully yourself— the place you belong.

I believe our home’s embody how we live and see ourselves. A reflection of what’s important to us.

Take a moment to reflect about your home. Does your space hold what’s important to you? What is given priority in your home?

As long as I can remember people refer to me ( and I consider myself) a home body. I love to be at home.

Affirmations Help Us Roll In New Energies

My paint mare Coco makes me feel completely grounded and present in my own body— she communicates her thoughts, feelings and emotions (to me and other horses) through her body language— it’s up to me to pay attention. To learn to “speak horse” is to learn how to tap into a deeper awareness, keen observation and intuition. All of which apply to humans too.

Join me and invite opportunities into your life that ask you to keep pulling the thread. What brings you back to a connection to your true nature? A connection to others (animal and human) and a sense of real joy. If we commit to doing this, we are in alignment with our personal truewellbeing. In this place we are able to offer the best version of ourself to others. Language of the Soul: 52 Affirmations to Guide You is offered on a current Amazon deal for $3.36.

Our Most Important Relationship ?

Relationships are how we grow; they cradle and stretch us. Through connection and division, love and hurt, compassion and separation, they invite us to return again and again to the most important relationship we’ll ever have – the one with ourself, the sacred union that’s been waiting within.

Art as a Muse

I went to Golden, Colorado last weekend. To recall the feeling as we drove up from Santa Fe is like trying to create the definition of autumn— a magical mix of crisp cool mountain air, brilliant golden fields of aspens nestled against a backdrop of deep purple mountains with ethereal white peaks. For me, the scenery created a soulful vibe that fall always brings. To take time and step out of my day-to-day coupled with the excitement of learning a new technique (from the comfort of an old friend) was a tonic to soothe my soul.

SOUL SPACE EQUINE RETREAT: A HORSE'S STATE OF MIND

n preparation for our recent retreat, I pulled from a large stack of journals. The entry I found happened to be from 2012, a reflection from my 50th year. I opened to a page about one of the most memorable times I could recall during my fifty years of living. Eleven through sixteen years of age. I wrote that during this time I felt a deep connection to nature and a horse. The combination of the two allowed me to feel genuine happiness and freedom.

Just as a farmers, sailors, spiritual calendars use the power of the moon phases. So can you.

The Master of my Fate, The Captain of My Soul

When I was ten years old, my dad took a sabbatical (and brought the whole family with him) to Johannesburg, South Africa.

After all of these years I can still recall certain vivid memories of that time. Decades before apartheid, in 1971 on a professor’s salary, our family of seven lived in Joburg. We had a modest white stucco house surrounded with a small fresh green lawn, protected by big white wall wrapping around us that made me feel safe.

It is said it takes 10,000 hours to become a master at something. For the past 27 years I have been meditating almost every day, with long retreats as well, so if I do the math that puts me at 10,000 hours plus of meditation experience.

I am passionate about meditation and it’s beautiful repercussions of feeling more peace, clarity and confidence. Honestly, I feel this world will be a better place as more people learn how to meditate.
