Old Horse Diary: My Valentine

Valentine Greetings to Everyone!

On this Valentine’s Day, I am reminded of the love
we share with one another, in all the large and small ways.

A kind look, a gentle comment or gesture for instance
can show our love.  The ways we care for our animals
and the love we share with them helps us open
and be with our hearts.

As my horse Ibis approaches 30 years of age in April, and experiences the ups and downs of his very elder years, we have entered a very precious time.

Though this relationship is very much between horse and person, the last 25 years of being with this amazing being is filling me with awe.

Gone are the days when we would be at odds with one another about how we each wanted to do things-differently!  Phew, it has been a long and winding, sometimes very rocky road!

All the more sweet now however.  I so deeply appreciate the gentleness and sweetness that he shows and we have together now.  As I was feeding him this morning for instance, and applying
his essential oils and TTouch to ease his aches and pains, he glanced
back at me and we rested together, a tender gentle moment of
appreciation and love between us.  It is indeed a precious time.

So I bid each and every one of you a special, tender thanks on
this Valentines Day for also being in my life, and for sharing “The Love.”

At the request of a very good friend, I am sending out the video I
made last Valentine’s Day – “The Love Fest of Life”

Last year I had asked everyone on the One Heart list to send in pics
of themselves and their loved ones.  This video is how all those pics and
love came together-  Enjoy!

Sunday Inspiration Video: Forgiveness and The Freedom of Letting Go

The Act of Forgiveness

is like a Healing Bath,

clearing out the gunk

of blame from within.

Forgiveness helps you make peace with your past….

because when we stop holding on

and clinging to anything,

we realize we have everything…

Sunday’s Inspriration: Oogy a Miracle Dog

Oogy, Miracle Dog

Oogy is a miracle dog.  Against all odds,   Oogy lived through horrible, unthinkable circumstances and is not only living, but thriving.  He shows that past circumstances, no matter how terrible, does not have to dictate the quality of the future.  Despite deep wounds, he could have easily died.  Despite no apparent reason to live through something that could have killed him, he lived.  Despite never having a human being on his side to love or show him any kindness, he lived through horror, and has come out the other side, Loving Big, Loving Joyously.  The instinct, the Drive, to Live and Love are deep and Oogy shows us this in all its beauty.

Pit Bulls have a terrible reputation for being mean and aggressive and are well known also as fighting dogs.  I have met quite a few Pit Bulls through working in shelters with Tellington TTouch for rehabilitation and to help dogs and cats be able to be adopted more readily.  The Pit Bulls I have met have some special qualities that are incredibly lovable.  These dogs have all had something special.

According to the reputation of his breed, he ‘should have’ turned out as aggressive to people, resentful, unforgiving, driven by instincts to hurt, hunt, even kill.  But for Oogy, the opposite is true.  He shows the power of the drive to live and love.   We have much to learn from Oogy.

“ Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough.  We have a higher mission—to be of service to them wherever they require it.”

Sunday Inspiration: Breakthrough with Tony Robbins and Advice from Coach Wooden

Three Stars Come Together:

Tony Robins, Jauquin Hawkins together with Coach John Wooden for a Breakthrough in Life.

Meet the men:

Tony Robbins recently began the TV series Breakthrough.  He has been on the forefront of looking at your internal drives, peak performance strategies,and his own style of  life coaching.  Robins is well known for getting Results and his powerful “Immersion Coaching.”

Juaquin Hawkins, professional basketball player, most known for playing with the Houston Rockets during the 2002-03 Season.  He was the second oldest rookie in the NBA during that time.  “Hawk” had already played with the Harlem Globetrotters between 1998-99 before joining the NBA.  In 2008, the forward, who once scored 14 points on Michael Jordan, suffered a stroke.

John Wooden was the first person to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player in 1961, and later as a coach in 1973. He coached ten NCAA national championships in a 12-year period, something that is unmatched by other college basketball coaches.  At 99 years, in his last interview, the legendary Coach John Wooden gave Juaquin Hawkins some simple advice, “Open Your Heart” and,

“Just do the best you can, each day.”  John Wooden

Inspirational Sunday Video: Cat Stevens Peace Train

This hippie wanna be grew up listening to Cat Stevens.

His song Peace Train was one of my many favorites.

Cat Stevens Peace Train is a beautiful inspiration and invitation for all of us.

He has been given several awards for his work in promoting peace in the world, including 2003′s World Award, the 2004 Man for Peace Award, and the 2007 Mediterranean Prize for Peace.

May your day be filled with peace, gentleness and replenishing.
