Horses~dangers and pleasures

Posted by Creative Goddess on August 17, 2010 in flow of life, lessons, ranch life with 4 Comments

we are on the lookout for another horse. we have kids getting ready to ride a lot, and they both want to ride my horse. Duke. they are smart kids, because he is the best horse.

so, at swimming lessons we heard about a horse that was being re-homed because the girl did not have time to ride him. he is gentle, has been used in gymkana. 17 years old and a gelding. sounds really good.

the person who was coming to get him, changed their mind, now the horse was available again. friends of ours were going to be in the area and look at him, and let us know. they got busy and did not make it over there. so we went ourselves. well, he was very quiet, needed a big hoof trim, his feet and neck showed signs of founder, which is Ok. we are looking for a kids horse that will not work real hard so we can live with a little founder, after all the horse is free.

so, we load him up and take him home. my husband spent a lot of time trimming hooves, and Joe ( the horse) was not quite as gentle as we had been told. well, he is at a new place, with new people, and it did start raining so we will see in the next few days.

I went out the next morning to see how Joe was feeling and perhaps let him out with our 5 horses. our concern was that his feet not hurt him too much so he can run away if they picked on him a bit too much as they establish the pecking order. ( haha on us) as I went to check on Joe, I noticed that that quiet friendly demeanor was somewhat missing. he was prancing and arrogant. really??? I was not at all comfortable with this horse, and did not let my kids anywhere near him. my horses came around and they all met over the fence. Lots of squealing going on, which is the way of horses. My 5 then took off running away. ( 2 geldings and 3 mares)

I thought well Joe feels great, I will let him out, I did and got the hell out of the way, because this horse is a bit aggressive. MY 5 horses went to the furthest corner that they could get and hid in the bushes for a whole day. I had to go to swimming lessons and my plan was for them all to meet, mingle and establish who is the boss ( Bambi- my husbands rope horse) while we were away. did not happen. we had to go get my herd to mingle with Joe. they were smarter than us.

Joe is completely aggressive, thinks he is a stud and tried to take over the herd in a not nice way. he hunted the mares. my geldings had to be on their guard to protect the ladies. my horses did not get any rest. I kept an eye on the situation for a day or so. then we had a birthday party and part of the fun is loading up in the truck and looking at the cows, highland steer, Llama, and bulls. then we go and pet the horses and hand out apple treats and enjoy a lot of love. well, our horses were too stressed to visit us for apple treats. ( that has never happened) my husband walked into the herd with the bag to coax them to the kids waiting in the back of the truck to enjoy horsey love. as my horses were distracted by the bag of treats, Joe took full advantage and backed aggressively into the herd to kick and do damage, and yes my husband was standing right in the middle. NOT GOOD!!!

so, after the party ended and I could go spend some time out with the horses, I did. what I observed and felt did not sit right with me. my horses are very gentle and loving. the come up for petting even though they are keeping a wary eye out for a halter. ( I do hide it in my jacket) luckily they think I have gained weight, not hiding the halters. hee hee. as I stood out there one of my paint mares Sienna, really wanted to come for some love, but she couldn’t. she had to stay with her herd for protection. then I observed my other paint mare wanting to roll and get rid of some itches. she was having a hard time finding a place. took her an hour and as she was rolling Joe was trying to get to her. what he was planning to do to her while she was down, I am not sure, but I do know that it was not good. My old guy had to protect her. I have had him for 17 years, and we have been on a lot of adventures and around a lot of horses together, and I have never seen him have to do this. he was constantly on guard to protect his herd. as soon as I saw that, I sent my husband out to separate Joe. he is just too dangerous to my horses and to us. after Joe was removed from them, I did go find my herd and gave them treats and investigated their damages. a lot of bruises from being kicked. that broke my heart. they were back to their friendly give me love and apple treats selves, although they were back to being in the furthest corner away from Joe.

the horse we have here is not a gentle kids horse. he is aggressive,and thinks he is a stud and that makes him dangerous. I called the lady that I got Joe from. she had no idea that he was like that. the interesting part is how the stories change. now she admits that her daughter could not handle him, and was scared of him. she thought and she is correct that being experienced horse people we would be able to handle Joe. then upon further conversations the people she got Joe from did tell her that you do have to watch him around mares. she did not know what that meant, so disregarded that information. YIKES!!!

at this time I am waiting for her or the people she got Joe from to call me and let me know if they are coming to get him, or if I am selling him at the horse sale on Friday and making a donation to the food bank. after I buy my horses a bag of apple treats to say sorry.

I am happy to have my loving herd back, and hope they are catching up on rest and relaxation. I cannot wait for Joe to leave so we can ride our pretty horses again.

this whole situation has been interesting. I am glad that we met Joe and the family who had him. I am very glad they did not ride Joe around mares and get everyone into a dangerous situation. I am also glad that I was able to let them know the situation. what happens to Joe now, I am not sure.

I do hope that anyone reading this who is thinking of getting a horse for their family, please do your research! get someone you can trust and who understands horses and horse energy to help you. when you have a horse that you connect with, there is nothing like it. also get lessons for whoever it is that wants to ride the horse. lessons will save your life. they are many amazing teachers out there and it is important. horses have a lot of power and energy, if you do not know how they think or cannot connect to them, it could be very dangerous. horses are not big puppy dogs.

so, we shall see how this story ends and hope that everyone involved has learned valuable lessons, including us. whether Joe gets recycled Friday or goes to another place to live in solitude, I do know that it will work out how it is supposed to.

rejection vs releasing

Posted by Creative Goddess on July 2, 2010 in Intentions, flow of life, lessons with 2 Comments

recently I went through my facebook page to delete old posts. I had no idea it would be so emotional. wow! as I deleted posts for the last couple of years, it felt like browsing through my life. some posts made me laugh, and some made me sad.

as I scrolled through my posts and saw messages from people I no longer have connections with, that made me sad. I miss them. even though I know we are not in vibrational alignment I still miss them. then comes the wondering… since I am missing them does that mean I should reach out and try to reconnect? well as soon as I use the word should I know it is not coming from the right place. It is coming from that rejection feeling. that part of us that really wants everyone to like us. even though we may have been the one to let go of the connection, it still feels like rejection, and it still hurts.

I had to take a step back and replay events and really tune into myself to see if I wanted the connection or I just wanted to feel better about being rejected or doing the rejecting. I realize that I am using the wrong word. rejection has a strong negative energy. the word release feels better. we both released an energy of a connection that did not feel right anymore. the energy of release feels less like a closed slammed locked door than the energy of rejection. release feels like it was done for the benefit of both parties. rejection feels one-sided.

so, as I go forward anytime I disconnect from someone or they disconnect from me, I will not take it personal or as a rejection. But as a release for both of us. releasing energies that are no longer working creates space for other energies that do work. so to everyone who has released me and to those I have released. THANK YOU!

Energy try on

Posted by Creative Goddess on October 22, 2009 in guidance, lessons with No Comments

It has come to my attention that I like to experience. I adore change,and trying new things. It is not that I do not trust other peoples views or opinions, I like to feel the energies for myself. where has this led me? well to a lot of spontaneous fun, and some really valuable life lessons. My willingness to try new things has led me to live in a few different communities in this lovely province of ours, and in Montana. One of my brothers has called me nomadic. was I searching for something? maybe, or I wanted to try things see how they felt. If things feel good in your energy keep them, whether it be experiences, physical things, or relationships. if they do not feel good, let them go. I find I do this with relationships with people too. everyone gets a chance. my intuition may give me the heads up on what may happen, but we can change our future with our thoughts, so I decided everyone gets a chance. also, the situations that I knew would happen beforehand offered learning experiences in themselves. validations of intuition, and an opportunity for resolutions. some worked out in a friendly manner, some did not. all valuable life lessons. The challenges I run into is extracting myself from the situations or relationships when they are no longer working in my energy. I learned from a workshop that I attended recently that saying “it just does not feel right” is a great way of saying no without explaining. I find myself wanting to explain my point of view. I listen to theirs, and do my best to understand. I have found though that a lot of times the other person does not want to listen to my reasons. they simply want things to stay as they are. why? because change may be they are uncomfortable with. So, I can either accept the lesson and then let it go or resist it by blaming the other person. not everyone has my philosophy of trying things on. Change is very challenging for some folks. I am changing by letting go of that which no longer fits my energies. I can see where that may be uncomfortable. so, my choices are simple, stay in the situation to avoid conflict and hope it goes away, or follow my authentic self and make the change. my choice is to stay true to myself. I am not willing to stop trying things to spare the feelings of another. What if it works out beautifully, not doing it because potential is there that it may not, is not a good enough reason for me.

trying new gadgets, foods, and clothes is easy. Also easy to let go of if they do not work. it is the interactions with others that is the tricky part. I realize that is one of my challenges in this incarnation. I have in the past kept on with situations and relationships to avoid upsetting someone else. not fun or healthy! it is not a good thing when you are watching the clock, or counting the days, weeks, or months hoping that the situation would just end already. How often do we do that? I am going to practice the hmm just doesn’t feel right. no more explaining unnecessarily or trying to appease someone else. to thine one self be true. (it is a play on the saying, this is what I was told to write) I also keep reminding myself that it is really none of my business what other people think of me. So, I will keep on trying energies on to see how they feel, and all the adventures that brings with it. I am still sticking to my September resolution of following my own inner guidance no matter what!

intuitive connections, embrace who you are.

I get asked a lot about being Intuitive. when did I know? I find that I do not know exactly what to say. I have always been psychic, as long as I can remember. so, I went perusing websites to see other stories of psychics, intuitives and healers.
Interesting stories. they all had a common theme whether they were psychic all their lives, or came into their gifts later. they had a moment when they realized that the way they were living their life was not working for them anymore. Wayne Dyer calls it a quantum moment. that moment when you decide to acknowledge that you have had enough living your life with ego based decisions and start on the path of recongnising who you really are and your connection to the Divine. his moment happened in the middle of the night when he awoke and had some intense moments of clarity. I call it a miracle. you experience your own miracle of acknowledging the miracle of you. I had a moment like that. some moments are more dramatic as in near death~ apparently they needed a huge wake up. (and it makes a great marketing story) but.. it does not take a huge or dramatic miracle for you to accept who you are and to tap into your connection to the Universe. we all have the ability to be intuitive. it is so much easier to live your life in this way. with it comes an inner peace and a feeling of never being alone and being loved that makes everyday a little bit magical. tapping into your own power of intuition does not mean you have to open a business and start doing readings. that is optional. tapping into your intuition is just for you!! a gift for yourself! how sweet is that. another concern that has popped up for people is that they have a fear of what they will find out. you do not have to know anything that makes you uncomfortable, you have control of what type of messages that you receive. it also does not mean that you HAVE to share every message that you get with someone else. only if you feel comfortable with it.

A lot of people are feeling that nudge to get in touch with who they really are, as we head towards 2012 and the changes that are already occurring with that. the way I understand it is we are all going to live a life more in tune with the Universe, and less ego driven. wahoo~ bring it on. you can see the changes coming, we are being forced to let go of our attachment to material things and the more, more, more philosophy. we are spending more time with our families and pursuing those things that really bring us Joy. we are all children of God and Goddess and can chose how we want to live in this lifetime. Living intuitively with a connection to the divine is awesome (my 3 yr olds favorite word right now) it does not take away the challenges of life, but it does make them easier to handle. We have so much guidance that comes our way if we listen that it is actually awe inspiring. I urge you to let go of the fear of being who you are and embrace it. you will be glad that you did.

hugs & happiness

synchronicity

Posted by Creative Goddess on March 4, 2009 in Intentions, guidance, lessons with No Comments

I love what i do. helping people heal and empower themselves is very fulfilling. it is often said that when you have clients, pay attention to their issues, often those same ones show up in our lives. I have a client who, when he comes to see me, something always happens in my life the day before that helps him in some way. i have an experience that he also goes through and I am able to teach him how to handle it by what I did. it is very cool!!! he has done the same for me, although it took me a couple of days to “clue” in. LOL!!! he was having troubles going to sleep, he had a worry, and just could not let it go so that he could relax and drift off. we discussed it, and his team of heavenly helpers guided us to the realization that the worry had actually happened in a past life. Sweet, once we had that realization, he already had been there, done that, that life experience is over. need not be repeated. wahoo!!! so, the night before he came to see me, my husband ended up working late and did not get home until the wee hours of the morning. I had trouble shutting off my mind to the worry about what if something happened to him. how would I be able to take care of our family financially. yikes. i blew it up to a whole big thing, had to ask Father God, Mother God, and all my heavenly helpers to take care of this, since I was all freaked out. it worked, I did go to sleep, and woke up when I heard my husband in the kitchen. it is amazing how loud the opening of a crinkly, crackly chip bag is at 2 am.
so, it occurred to me a few days later that my fear was the same as my client. I have always had the fear of being a single mom, struggling to take care of my family. hmm….. past life? absolutely!! once I realized this with the help of a healing friend, i was able to let it go, and get over it. wahoo!!! very freeing. sweet!! I am having a deja vu as I write this. COOL!!!
