Yesterday was National I Love Horses day. Everyday.

Today is ’s birthday.
I miss my friend. He valued me as a person, a friend and just as a human being whom he appreciated in his life.
That went both ways.
We started a bowie project Jan/2020 that he wanted to finish when he made it back home from the hosp.
I have no idea what came of that little piece of steel, and I’m not going to go on about wishing we could have finished it.
We started it and spent that time doing something we both enjoy and those few hours are cherished.
Here’s some pix of that day that I haven’t before shared. (Of John)

Y’all, life is so very short.
It’s quite delicate.
Time has always been here, will always be here and it doesn’t care what we do with the very small portion allowed to us.
Make it count!

I have succeeded as well as failed while daring greatly. If anyone should be terrified of courage, love or vulnerability, it is I. I’m not afraid of change, risks or failure...
I am afraid of living in a world where passion, compassion & purpose is lost to fear & selfishness.
Love is not a weakness, it takes more courage than violence and war... to accept love fully is even braver.
I wish you all the courage to drop your armor and embrace what you’ve learned up to this point in allowing your heart some room to breathe for a change. You don’t have to be foolish, in order to courageously dare greatly.

“To love at all is to be vulnerable.
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken.
If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal.
Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements.
Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change.
It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
To love is to be vulnerable.”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“(I thought you needed to read this) ❤️
You can’t put KJ in a box, or a triangle, or any other shape or receptacle that you might use to categorize or classify all the other people in your life.
She is not the same. Not remotely.
KJ has lived a thousand lives and she endures in spite of thousands of tiny cuts, and dozens of deep ones.
She’s more real, she’s more learned, she’s more experienced, she’s more scarred, and she is more healed.
Because to power through and become incomparable and inspirational, you have to heal. You have to sit in your own bu****it, own it, fix it, and have the will to be better tomorrow than you are today.
Gain her trust and you’ll have a fierce warrior at your side. Hurt her and she will educate you. Raw honesty from keen observation may devastate your ego and rattle your sensibilities but you’ll find very little to argue with. Just take notes. She is a sage, an oracle, a maven of life lessons.
She anticipates the consequences of a pivot because she’s found herself face first in the dirt and she knows the patterns.

She is rare. She is precious. She deserves the world and a storybook love. Funny enough, she’d take that but she’s so real, she knows that storybook love is generally only found in storybooks. So, she prays for some one strong, someone real, someone loyal, someone solid, honest, steadfast, and unwavering. That’s not too much to ask for”
wrote this not long ago. I wish I were as eloquent with my thoughts, actions & words as she. She also proves that your people see you when you’re trying your best, and we all teach one another a thing or two along the way. If the notion hits, let your people know, you see them. Share the power… sharing love is powerful. Fear doesn’t get to win around here.
Once Tess has written her children’s books, you’ll definitely know about it straight from here! 💛
