A few days ago I noticed the earth is no  longer still, but stirring.   What has been curled up is beginning to unfurl.  Winter is at its end, the urge to move forward  and become active is happening once again.    Today is a great day to express your creativity through art, craft, poetry, nature walks and song.   To turn everything off, no screens, no TV, no cells phones and listen to your inner wisdom.   You need this time to prepare for the changes ahead and to bring visions and insights out into the returning light.  Project and initiate, heal and reclaim what has been lost.  Seek new ways forward.  Utilize this awakening into spring by working and learning how to use your intuition, for acting on inspired leaps of understanding and for expressing your deepest wishes, beliefs and feelings that come from love.   Communicate with yourself from within and follow what has significance to you.   Today brings a stirring of the life force, the potency of action that is fired from within us all.   These actions bring transformation.  Transform your life, through love, community and kindness, this will bring new life and new beginnings to all.   

We are the power in everyone.

We are the dance of the Moon and Sun

We are the hope that will never hide

We are the turning of the tide

I ended the year of 2013 with a near death experience, I had a horse stomping of my life. As we saw the most beautiful herd of Elk, several males and one with the biggest rack I have ever seen up in the mountains, I had no idea what I was in store for.  This beautiful experience ended in the most terrible tragedy of my life.  The horses were nervous, my dog Rocky got excited.   Within seconds of this beautiful scenery of Elk, my dog, who had a very long leash went under the horse, that I was standing next to and holding her halter.  My horse was already a bit scared of the Elk and my dog freaked her out by yanking me into her and his leash went  up into her shoulders ( leg pits) and pulled.  I had a 150 lb dog yank me so hard I went airborne then ended up under a bouncing horse.   Within seconds I was down on the ground and got my face stomped, my body stomped.  I could her my husbands voice and the sounds of his desperation, the helplessness he must have felt as he saw this at a distance.  At that point what I remember feels like a slow motion movie.  Blood gushing out of my mouth, tooth rolling out with it, feeling holes where teeth should be.  So much blood.. From that point it was Joseph in emergency mode.  He had to leave me there, to go get a vehicle,  He did not want me to move and create more bleeding.  

It was silent,  I was just laying there, tissue over my face, and taking deep breaths.  I rolled over to see my dog Bushido had stayed right by me.  I was a bit worried he would be tempted to go find the elk heard so I stood up, grabbed a rope and tied him up.   I  then searched for teeth and only found one.  I was starting to feel a bit lighted headed so I took a seat.  It felt like forever, as I waited for my family to get back up there and help me.  

As I waited thoughts passed through and a voice spoke to me.  "Sue, it is time to think of the positive"  I answered this voice and started mentally making my list of what I was thankful for at that moment in time.  I looked up at the trees and searched for beauty, I was thankful for not being unconscious, I was thankful that I still had my eyes, I was thankful for not having my brain stomped, I was thankful I was at  peace, I was thankful for the beauty that was surrounding me, I was thankful I could hear a car coming up the mountain.

Sophia in the front seat with the big first aid kit ready to do what she could, jump out ready for action, in a calm manner.  She was relieved to see me so calm.

No one panicked, all stayed calm.   At this point we all hit emergency action mode, calls were made,  First plan, I was not going to go to the emergency room,  take care of the mouth and teeth first.  The rest is history. 

I am healing, I have had to work at not being a little depressed, I keep counting the days to add one more healing day to my list.  I have a lot of healing to do, after all my body was stomped on by a 1200 pound horse.  I can now say I have been hit harder than Mr. Bronson and stayed conscious!

2014 Is The Year Of The Horse.... Wow it most certainly is.. 

I am healing, I am not giving up and I can say the the Year of 2013  has given me many new lessons and I am ready for the new year to start.   Goals are being set into action.  Healing is the first goal, living life to it's fullest is still my motto.  

Love like you have never loved,

Be forever grateful for your life

Give,give and give...

Selfishness and greed will only eat your soul, till there is no soul anymore

You are in-charge of your happiness, not anyone else, nor the weather

You want to be at optimal health, then no excuses 

Peace and love to you all....... 

I Am Thankful To Be Alive, thankful to see my son Brandon and his girlfriend McKenzie after I got home after a very scary tiring day, thankful for my awesome daughter (Sophia) who keeps making me the best smoothies ever, for her support, company and companionship,  thankful that minestrone soup makes a good smoothie, thankful for bone broth with herbs,  thankful for my wonderful husband who gives the most awesome support ever,  thankful my husband who has nerves of steel, thankful for my daughters ability to not panic in the state of a very scary emergency, thankful for Dr. Oliver at All About Smiles, thankful for Dr. Meloche at Abbey Road Clinic, for her everlasting, love and care that she gives to all,  thankful for the herbs that are healing me and giving me new life and cell regeneration, thankful to comfrey root, horsetail, oat tops, cut oats, nettle, kava kava with cinnamon, St. Johns Wort oil, comfrey gel, Deep Healing Tissue Warming Balm,  Self Heal Salve,  and special big thank you to goldenseal, oregon grape and super echinacea,

 I am forever grateful, to the angels who blocked any blows that could have hit my brain, the angels that saved me must have been trained in Kung Fu,

It Is An Art To, 

Live, To Truly Be Alive

Love, Truly Love

Laugh, Sharing Smiles and Joy From Your Heart

The Art Of Letting Go

Letting go of stress.. letting go of work... letting go of worries.. letting go of anxiety... letting go of societal stress... letting go of worries about business.. letting go of unhealthy habits...

The Art Of Letting Go ... letting go of fear... letting go the everyday fast pace life... Society, the human race, needs  to play in life, the  art of letting go of TV, Texting, computer screens, video games.

 Society needs the Art Of Letting Go.... let go  of their red and blue gang colors... Letting go of the belief that the gooberment will take care of America and it's people...  society needs freedom...

 The Art Of Letting Go of bad habits.... letting go of bad eating habits... letting go the habit of sitting on a couch, the letting go of making up excuses, the letting go the non-motivation, the letting go of struggles, the letting go of holding on to what is not sustainable....

It is an Art and a discipline to let go, to be free, to play, to love, to help, to not be selfish, to eat healthy, to live chemical free, to take care of the earth, to truly be a parent, to be a playful parent, to sleep enough, to eat tons of veggies, yes, this list is an art, it is a dying art, because the human race is losing it's ability to recognize that " In Discipline Lies Freedom"

 Art is an Art within itself, the ability to recognize this art, is within the eyes and heart, of all of those, who see what is the Art Of Letting Go...  To truly have eyes that see and ears that hear, drop the screens, be with nature and jump into the Art Of Letting Go, to understand the meaning "In Discipline Lies Freedom"......

Let's put it this way... 

What would you do without Fear? 

What would you do if you had motivation?

What would you do if you were in shape?

What would you do if you did not have a disability?

What would you do if you were full of energy? 

If you had any thoughts of what you would be doing, Then I will ask you a question.

What is holding you back?

The lack of energy is  a symptom of suppress, distress and stress to your system, it is the Art Of Letting Go, purging, that gives change. This change, will take away your fears, give you motivation, keep  you in shape, energize you and  it would not matter if you had a disability. 

The Art Of Letting Go = In Discipline Lies Freedom
