January 26, 2016-Hi Rememberize, aka Remi. Last night I started working on some natural horsemanship with Remi. We had our ups and downs, but in the end I could see some progress. The slow correct progress without anger or frustration, towards goals and harmony takes time and won't happen overnight. Natural horsemanship has not only changed how I work with horses, but also how I approach things in life. It teaches and test your patience, compassion, timing, and determination. "Be as gentle as possible, but as firm as necessary. When you are firm, don't get mad or angry. When you are gentle, don't act like a sissy. " This is a great quote that truly expresses the essence of natural horsemanship. To give just enough correction as necessary and then go back to neutral. Always go back to neutral, don't hold on to the correction. It is a hard practice to learn and to perfect, Remi definitely tested me last night. I was firm when necessary, gentle and rewarding, and returned to neutral as soon as possible to let him know that I didn't hold anything against him. With this we were able to make progress, he could see if I was going to follow through with my requests, and for him to have trust in me.
All too often I find that people hold onto their anger and or use too much force for the circumstance. I have learned to try and use as little "firmness" as possible to have my point across and to try and let go of anger as soon as possible. Life is too short, enjoy and live each day to its fullest.

I was trying for something that was a bit different than your usual horse photo. For my first try I'll take it. I setup a light and in this shot Remi was putting his nose right into it lol.

Today was the last day Sarah was going to ever wear these shoes. They had a good run, but it's time to let them go. RIP brown ballet flats.
Being the captain of the wrong things.
I woke up today with this weird endless feeling of being stuck in a perpetually cycle of repeating behaviours. The thing that snapped me out and back into my feet was getting nuts, decks and a card full of words in the mail. There are certain people that are simply irreplaceable for how they pay attention, share their love and care for others.
These playing cards list the distance and elevation of some of the coolest hiking trails on and beyond the 49th parallel. The deck has 44 trails listed, of which i’ve done…. 3 1/4s? Maybe? I’ve got over 39+ reasons to come back to BC now.
Which brings me to an important story about my playing cards. Yes, I collect playing cards. Backstory: On Friday nights, my parent’s invited their friends over who also had kids our age. As we ran around the house playing mystery sleuth or hide and seek, the adults would be playing cards. By the time we ran out of steam and fell asleep randomly on the floor at 2:00am, the last thing I remember was seeing them laughing and still playing cards.
When my mom was dying of cancer, there was not much she could do or wanted to do other than play cards. We would chat and play cards throughout the day. Every night, no mater who was over, we would all gather around her on the couch and play cards. In the final line of my acknowledgement section of my dissertation, I wrote this for my mother: I am going to close my acknowledgments with all of the things I forgot to say racing through my mind until we play cards again.
Playing cards always fills my heart with warmth, and reminds me how much ‘play’ brings us all back together. @srsly_sals let’s keep our shoe laces undone so we will trip back to playing together again one day.
