• The Power of Silence

  After a stressful day, nothing can make me more relaxed than sitting together with the rescue horses. Everything around me is quiet, except for their crunching meditative sounds from them eating their hay. I breathe in the same tempo as the horses. My shoulders falls down into a relaxed position. My thoughts slows down which…

• The Power from Words

  Hurtful words can follow you the rest of your life. Inside your heart and mind. Science have shown that the brain reacts the same from a fist as from a spoken hurtful word. “Do as I tell you or….” is threats that makes you constantly live in fear. And re-living the words over and over.…

• No to Smacks

  I bought this T shirt when I visited the big “Prevent Child Abuse” conference in North Carolina 2002. We know that frustration and fear can often grow into abusive behavior. Verbally and physically. It gives me the chill when I hear people defending their actions smacking a child (or women) It gives me the chill…

• Gaining Control

  “Once upon a time, a woman moved to a cave in the mountains to study with a guru. She wanted, she said, to learn everything there was to know. The guru supplied her with stacks of books and left her alone so she could study. Every morning, the guru returned to the cave to monitor…

• I Run with Maud

  🏃🏼‍♀️ People across the country are running 2.23 miles in honor of Ahmaud Arbery, who was shot and killed while jogging. So did I, and, I “ran” a little extra to “honor” the silent victims/survivors that’s out there with their invisible scars. #IRunWithMaud

• Codependents Receiving Support from Horses

  💚 Codependents are many times having a difficult time finding the help and healing they need.

• You get used to it

  Read interview with Stephen King in NY times yesterday. This little story caught my mind. People ask many times “How can you stay? How can you do that, or not do this?” Sometimes you are not just aware. It’s a bit like these two donkeys are walking along the bridge, and one of them doesn’t…

• This is Many Times why the Silence from Victims

  ”Often, that’s a key element of their ability to abuse – their supposed charm. When they are ‘lovely’ to everyone who knows them, it’s even harder for a victim to come forward.” 🖤
