Today I pushed myself to take my horses back up the mountain.   I had to do this, I was having some emotional issues over it.  This was a challenge for me considering, I almost died two weeks ago.   I was talking to my husband about what I needed to work through.  I did not know the camera was on until the end.  I would like to share with you what my struggle is and how I am working through it.  Thank you

"Life has given you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?"

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.......

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

Tonight, I am inspired to write about inspiration.... Motivation.

These words speak to me tonight as I sun gazed this evening, I felt inspired by all the beauty of the colors of the sunset and the brilliant colors of autumn . Tonight seemed special outside, I felt as though nature had given me more daylight time this evening. I felt, as though I went through a slow time warp, that I was able to enjoy a longer evening outside before it became dark. Something was more awake. There was a joyful energy going on with the beautiful colors of autumn. When I came in, the candle on the kitchen table, its flame so golden and full of light,  these golden lights and fall colors have spoken to me and  filled my heart with inspiration and love. Life is beautiful, it is what we make of it, you can make it dull, sad, depressed, full of anxiety, no change do to no action from you, which creates your energy to lack of all things that inspire.

You can inspire yourself to smile, move, give, love, help, eat healthy, exercise and motivate change in your life. Inspiration .. To effect... To guide yourself or others to add all things into life that give harmony to your soul... Inspire... To arouse by divine influence.... To fill with enlivening.. To stimulate to action, a plan of happiness, movement of the body, a plan to create community... MOTIVATE... To be the cause or source to bring about beautiful change to our world, your world... Inspire change, by starting with you, this will give our world what it needs. The inspiration has to start with you, be the guide of inspiration, this energy will arouse divine influence enlivening, stimulating others into action... Your positive change for this world, a change that takes care of this world through your choices, these choices are the real vote, not a false paper vote, your choice, a voice due to your loving action will be the cause to bring about the change that we all need as humans. The loving inspiration starts with you... I can only hope I have motivated you to elect yourself, put yourself down on the ballot as the person who will make the change through, making changes in your life, the effects of this vote, the vote that you decided to take part will touch others.
