Possessiveness

Possessiveness

Boundaries

Boundaries

  I love horses. I attended a training at a ranch where a little colt was free to roam the arena while we were engaged in our work.  He came up behind us with a mischievous nip or nudge. He followed people prancing and pawing.  I found him cute and annoying as hell. The description of …

A Prayer for Rejuvenation

A Prayer for Rejuvenation

What can we do to feel more connected?

What can we do to feel more connected?
