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!

You were clear, Rocknhorse. It many cases, you're right. If a would-be robber just walks away because he SAW a gun, then there isn't much to report. But in other cases, perps get shot and that is what prevented them from murdering or robbing, or whatever. That is still worthy of being reported, but you rarely see those stories, either.

I can't wait to be back. I'm working on the last chapter right now, then I will only need to write the prologue and epilogue and I will be done. :-) I have missed being on in the mornings; as I was telling my husband the other day, it is like meeting friends for coffee every morning - I miss the chats and the good energy. Have an awesome afternoon! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Watching your family's "labor of love" has aided me in realizing nothing is too big or too difficult. I am happy that this leg of your journey is almost to a close.
Mine started eight months ago and I am both excited and scared with what the future may bring. But heck...that's what makes it unique.
Again let me thank you for your support and as well my thoughts are with you, your family, and the continued success with your new home.

I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind). I asked him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that he be near you At the start of each new day; To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small. But it was for his loving care I prayed the most of all!
