I was introduced to network marketing in 1993 by my close friend, Leta Worthington. Leta knew the number of hours I was working each week in my veterinary practice and she also knew I was not getting ahead financially. At first I had zero interest and thought she simply wanted me to sell products for … Continue Reading »
Cerise is my Fire horse temperament and she often suffers with Liver Qi stagnation. Her symptoms include tightness and pain in her ribcage, loss of appetite and loose manure. She does not have strong heats but she does have a tendency to get ovarian cysts which cause her major discomfort. When she is suffering from … Continue Reading »
I missed checking my e mails for a few days last week and when I finally checked I had about 556 waiting. So today I started deleting myself from forums and newsletters. This was a very hard process for me because I really like learning and being a part of all these groups. I dropped … Continue Reading »
I am continuing to study the energetics of food and I did not realize I was taking on a project similar to learning homeopathy. Foods are much more complicated than initially meets the eye. Of course foods do not act as deeply as homeopathic remedies because they are not made more potent by the act … Continue Reading »
I just finished Joyce Meyer’s book Grace, Grace and More Grace. Being such a workaholic I have struggled with grace in my life. For years I assumed that as long as I was working hard and not getting into trouble that God would be happy with me. If I wasn’t working for any reason … Continue Reading »
I milked Sally for the first time yesterday and she was not impressed. I am pretty sure Sally is a Fire goat based on her drama queen performance. I knew from her previous owner that she does not like her head handled so I set up a system where I could simply attach her … Continue Reading »
I thought I had beat this cold but it came back on me so I have been resting the last few days. I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to rest as there have been times past in my life where I had to work whether I felt like it or not. Tuesday … Continue Reading »
I was talking with my neighbor the other day and she was worried because her horses had broken into her feed room and between the 3 of them eaten about 50 pounds of feed. Luckily it was a high fiber feed and other than being a little sluggish no horse was showing any problems. We … Continue Reading »
I had a discussion with Stephanie yesterday about the learning curve with riding and training horses. Both of us have a background in english riding and jumping and we are both now riding more western. I like the finesse that comes with riding dressage but the sports I am doing now such as barrel racing … Continue Reading »
I went to see Bonita, the horse with laminitis, yesterday and she is doing fantastic. Her blood work last month showed her ACTH levels were still high and she still had an elevated pulse in her hind feet indicating her pituitary tumor was still preventing full healing of her laminitis. Laminitis in horses is not … Continue Reading »
I finally felt well enough to ride last Friday after battling a cold for a week and saddled up Cerise. We did some trotting and loping but I was not up to any hard work. I decided to ride a little in 2 point at the trot to start to build me strength and balance. … Continue Reading »
I don’t know about you but I can’t believe what our government is doing. I don’t think what is going on now should be looked at from a standpoint of democrat vs. republican of liberal vs. conservative but common sense vs. living in a fantasy world. I don’t doubt our politicians want to do the … Continue Reading »
I wrote this a few weeks ago but did not post it because I figured out my chicken roosted in a tree and then joined the other chickens in the yard after I let them out so it was not quite the miracle I thought. I am posting it now because it seems every time … Continue Reading »
Man the weather is dry here in South Central Texas. I have lived in the Hill Country all of my life and I can remember many periods of dry weather but nothing like this. The humidity has been in the single digits and the wind blows constantly. The temps cool down at night but … Continue Reading »
When I was doing my presentations at Equine Affaire I had a couple of great demo horses to work with. The first one was a nice haflinger Fire mare that was a great example of how the five element types can look in different breeds. Normally when I think of a haflinger I think about … Continue Reading »
I went to California last weekend to present my Five Element horse temperament typing system at the Equine Affaire expo. Despite the fact that I was sick as a dog I had a fantastic time. It has been so long since I have been sick in any way I did not even recognize the … Continue Reading »
