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!

People rave about the beach... I'll take that laid back mudhole over sand, wind, and hoards of tourons any ole day! Know where Camp Willow Run is, and Americamps... Little Stonehouse Creek? We had a place on a tiny little nook right beside Americamps... three piers in there at the time. Heaven on earth. I'm so envious of you guys now!

Rockn, if you did not have a daughter, I would not even try to cover this topic,,,it is just so iffy.
sigh, here goes ( I have 2 daughters )
You are beautiful. You are bursting with light - you sparkle. ( HUGE SIGH Here.) In our music video age, beauty is mistaken with men whistling at women - that is not beauty.
/* lolly has tears in her eyes now */
Beauty is loving a hubby and helping him start his own business. Building a House from your ancestors, raising kids that know fresh air and love. Beauty is raising a child that hit the Ball over the fence, after her mom coached her.
Please KNOW that you are so beautiful!!!!! Darling, you SHINE

I know you would! You were the first person I thought of when I read that. He does deserve a good home.
Maybe some of your friends can take him in. I thought if anyone could help, it would be you! :)

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!

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!
