Las Vegas Trip 2015
After several months of having some severe problems with my computer, the poor thing bit the dust this morning when I tried to turn it on to write this blogpost. But because I’m impatient and wanted to write this blogpost now rather than post-Apple store, I’ll be telling you about our trip to Vegas from… Continue reading

Just Go With It: My Day Trip to the Grand Canyon
I make pilgrimages to Sedona at least every few months. I am almost always under stress (mostly because I’m still not very good with dealing with it), and Sedona is a great place for me to go rid my head of unnecessary clutter. And yesterday morning, I woke up and initially decided that since all kinds of… Continue reading

How Writing a Book Helped Me Stand Up to My Bullies
I have always loved to write. As a child, I always seemed to use my computer time typing up stories, each one growing longer and more elaborate than the next. By the time I was 13, I’d written five actual books. I still have copies of each one. My fifth was a novel called It… Continue reading

Horse Mommy
It was towards the end of my morning, perhaps 45 minutes before it was time to feed the horses, when I heard the words. I had taken my oldest gelding up to the breezeway to take off the three-day-old wrappings I’d placed on his hoof to heal an abscess. One of my volunteers and her… Continue reading

Introducing…. Theon!
Oh, hi, blogosphere. This past month disappeared in a nanosecond. My last blog post featured our move to North Phoenix (exciting, I know) and since then, I unpacked and attempted to make our apartment more of a home, worked around the clock for the days my boss was out of town, turned 24, flew to the Homes for Horses… Continue reading

Ahwatukee to North Phoenix: Our Move
Kitty, boyfriend, and I are moved into our new apartment, and we are all both thrilled that the move is over and thrilled to be in our new place. I went into this bound and determined to make this move as painless as utterly possible, because moving has always been a bit of a sore… Continue reading

An Impossible Nuzzle
Nearly every person that comes to our ranch has a connection with one particular horse. They fall in love with all of them, naturally, but there is usually one with whom they share a powerful bond. Before I started volunteering at Tierra Madre, I used to think that everybody chose their “favorite” horse based on… Continue reading

Crock-Pot Homemade Applesauce
In explanation of the huge bag of apple cores I brought to work for the horses today, I mentioned to a few people that I’d made homemade applesauce the night before. They then asked for the recipe. I can’t take credit for it, as much as I’d like to – I found it on Pinterest… Continue reading

Five Years
Warning: Corniness, cheesiness, and lots of pictures ahead Today marks five years since my boyfriend and I started dating, and I’m trying to figure out how it has been that long. It doesn’t feel like five years. Sometimes, it feels like five minutes. At other times, it feels like there wasn’t ever a formal beginning… Continue reading
