about rocknhorse

I've been a GOLO member for some time now and thought maybe it was time to update my profile. 

As stated before, I'm a happily married mother of two wonderful kids.  Life doesn't get any better.  I am truly the luckiest person in the world to have my wonderful family!  My husband and I are self-employed and have been for 10 years.  We've had our struggles in the past, but it's the strength of our love that supports us through the tough times. 

I am fortunate to have 4 horses, which I train using gentle methods.  I believe that you have to see the world through their eyes.  When you can successfully do that, then you can understand them and train them accordingly.  This philosophy works equally well when communicating with people.

I am an optimist.  Even during bad times, I seek the silver lining!  Every event, every mistake is a learning experience.  Rather than dwell on the negative, focus on the positive and don't waste the lesson!    

I have been accused of being very opinionated and stubborn - neither are negative traits in my opinion!  I believe what I believe, but I'm open to other opinions.  While I may respect your opinion, that doesn't mean I'll agree.  Likewise, just because I may disagree, that doesn't mean I cannot still respect your right to your opinion.

I believe as Americans, we have been afforded the same opportunities.  Some of us took advantage of those opportunities and some did not.  Those who work to excel and to better their lives should not be held back for the benefit of those who do not! 

I believe in a hand up but not a hand out!

I believe in accountability/responsibility for your actions!  Life is about choices and every action involves CHOICE!  If you make the wrong choice, you should be held accountable-no excuses!   

Beauty comes from within!  It is confidence in being who you are and liking/loving that person!!! 

Topics that are extremely important to me are drunk driving and anything that involves kids.  Wrecks that occur because of drunk drivers are not "accidents."  Kids need to be protected.  People who abuse kids should be dealt with in manners that I cannot state here.  

Finally, I believe in honesty, but diplomacy when interacting with each other. 

Welcome to my profile.  I have many pictures in my Image Gallery!  I welcome comments, thoughts, discussions and debates!

Trick or treat!

Rocknhorse, I really hope you go! We've seen some marvelous re-dos. One house inside the Beltline (the high dollar area) had an entire STORY added. So the first floor had the charm of an older house and the second story was completly modern, with crown molding and a laundry chute. Another house added an outdoor fireplace room. It made us sad to have to come back to our little house...:( !

I don't think you could have done a better job on your house, the way you describe it. It is absolutely beautiful. I'm still hoping you will have a get-together and invite GOLO. I'll even wear those paper booties so as to not track in dirt!

Susan

Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad writes all day. He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a POEM, they give him $50!"

The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad writes all day too! He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls his a SONG, they give him $100!"

The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad also writes all day. He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls his writings SERMONS. He reads them in church, and it takes EIGHT MEN to collect all the money!!!"

Dont say that Con Amor did'nt make you smile today! Have a great day!

Rockn - I guess there was a little confusion on the fact that 5 on your side did respond and just didn't think it should be televised as the family did admit they had let the cat go outside occasionally. That said, he is a 90% idoor cat. That clause is insane. Thank you so much for your support.

" I have sent a letter to WRAL urging them (5 On Your Side) to take this case!! I have left a message on the voice mail at the shelter "

GOOD for you! I am trying to catch up on this, hopefully my day wont be so busy b/c I would like to somehow get involved as well!

HOPE all is GREAT your way :)

Thanks, Rockn... the blog wasn't about the picture, I just felt it fit with the intent of the blog. (: Have a great day!

Barb, what an awesome profile update you did. Just TOTALLY blew me away. It was completely from your heart. Dayum, I cannot find the right words...J

I saw below you said you live near McGees X Roads? My daddy lives there... ;) hope to see you someday and your ponies too!

Good morning Rocky! Have a great day.

Hi, Rockn...Just sent a "friendly handshake" (thought we'd done that, already, LOL...) At any rate, I know that when Johnny and I finally got our studio finished (it's detached from the main house), we felt soooo proud of ourselves! Except for the construction of the actual building, we did all the interior work; electrical, flooring, insulation, drywall, drop ceiling, lighting, etc. It was a LOT of work, so I can only imagine what a house would be like! :)
