Buckisms and 29 Gifts


A friend recently loaned me a book called 29 Gifts. I am not sure if you have ever heard of it or read it, but I highly recommend reading it! It tells the story of a woman with MS who changes her attitude and life through the simple act of intentional giving! www.29Gifts.org

I have decided to try this and I began today. I gave a friend who is suffering with early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer a bouquet of sunflowers and a chocolate cake. In my mind, what flowers don’t fix, chocolate does! What chocolate can’t fix, God can…so with that gift I said a prayer for her, her speedy recovery and her family!

Then I thought, how else could I give back…my life is pretty much horses, horses, horses! Then I thought of Buck Brannaman. With the release of his movie a year ago this month, I have been reading and loving his one liners that are put on facebook about once a week….and it hit me “horses and life, they are all the same to me”! Buck says that all the time and it is true…so I thought it would be fun to quote a Buckism a day on my blog and share it with you as a gift! I have collected lots of his quotes over the years and enjoy reading them.

So for today, I share, “Horses and life, they are all the same to me.” This holds true for me! How I treat horses is how I treat people. In all relationships (animals and people) I try hard to follow the four agreements that I teach in my Enhancing the Relationship course, modified from Ruiz:

1) Be impeccable with your word.
2) Don’t take it personal.
3) Don’t make assumptions.
4) Always do your best.

Are horses and life the same for you?

I did it! Ozzie and I published!

I did it!  I finally published the story of Ozzie, the horse that changed everything for me!  Ozzie was with me for more than 25 years and is the reason I study horsemanship!  Many of you have met Ozzie, who passed away a year ago.  But few of you know about our early days together.  Ozzie was a challenging horse with a big personality, and I was madly in love with him, even though he was not suitable for me at all.  He would push me and cause chaos wherever he went in his early days.  Thanks to him, I sought out help from a friend who lead me to the path of horsemanship!  And I have never looked back! Don’t forget to get your copy on Amazon.com.
