Sometimes you spend so much time nurturing relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and the people you love that you forget to nurture yourself, too. In this week’s video, I want to share a reminder from a peaceful moment by the river with friends about the importance of self-care and caring for your own heart, mind, and well-being. The relationship you have with yourself matters deeply, and taking time to rest, breathe, reflect, and recharge is not selfish. It’s necessary. Whether it’s sitting by a river, walking through a park, or simply enjoying a quiet moment in your own backyard, you need to find a peaceful place and make time to care for yourself this week.
Do you know who the first horse was to step up and do the healing equine gestalt work? It was Ranger! Let’s continue in my new series: the Herd Behind the Healing!
Some people call him Mighty Power Ranger because he’s such an amazing healer. He’s 23 years old. Dave, my husband, got Ranger for me for my birthday during our first year of marriage. Ranger is a palomino paint. He has one blue eye and one brown eye. He was the first horse from the herd to step up and do the healing work back in 2014 when Happy Success Ranch Retreats began. We got him when he was 6 months old. He has one baby who is also a part of the herd: Rowdy. We also call him the cat with 9 lives because he has had at least 4 injuries that should have killed him. We are so thankful he is a part of the herd!
In this series I am sharing the stories of the horses who help make Happy Success Ranch Retreats such a special place full of happiness and healing. Click below to watch and learn more.
Let’s continue in my new series: the Herd Behind the Healing! Chevy is a thoroughbred and a former polo horse with a gentle soul and quiet presence. Around the ranch, his nickname is “The Shy Guy” because he can be a little reserved at first. Once he trusts you, there’s something incredibly special and calming about him. Every shy guy needs a best friend, and for Chevy, that’s Tater. In this series I am sharing the stories of the horses who help make Happy Success Ranch Retreats such a special place full of happiness and healing.
Who are the most important people in your life? And do your actions actually show it? In this week’s video, I have a powerful reminder about priorities and how the way you spend your time often reveals what matters most to you.
The word “priority” means being treated as more important than other things, but sometimes your busy schedule can unintentionally pull you away from the people you care about most. I hope this message encourages you to pause, reflect, and think intentionally about the relationships in your life.
Journal prompt: Make a list of those important people in your life. Make sure your actions show those people are the most important.
I am excited to start sharing a new series with you called the Herd Behind the Healing! First up is Ladybugs. She comes from a famous bloodline. She was trained as a cutting horse. She is one of my co-coaches with Equine Gestalt coaching. She is also the horse on my Happy Success Ranch Retreats logo.
