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!

I like the horses, to bad horses hate me. We have an agreement, I don't get on their back, they don't get on mine . . .

1) Finding the yellow jacket nest built under the front deck of cabin #1
2) Having hydroseeder dude point hydroseeder gun at me, by the way green is not my color . . . .
3) Back totally gone from crawling under house (moonshine did not make it better, just made me not care . . . )
The good thing is after the lawnmower race I was feeling a lil spunky again . . .

My dad is not in great health and can no longer get out and about with the grand kids any more... but I cherish the times that he did create those memories with them.
Take Care

I was thinking 'what if' some whacko decided to beat/kill a perp based on seeing a post, and how screwed up the legal system is sometimes... might come back to haunt someone who was just posting "FYI" - even more so, perhaps, than if the poster had a personal interest in the case/offender.
