“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.”

I was frustrated when trying to do my first charcoal portrait; trying hard to get my parents to appear as they really are: Suddenly in my mind's voice I heard my Nana (Mildred Marchand) saying "Use your fingers to blend the way I taught you."
It came to life. She helped me give the greatest gift.

It was just before she let her guard down and I felt the rush of emotional energy that brought me to tears.
"Is it necessary to understand each calming signal a horse gives or is it enough to not increase their anxiety by adding our own? What if it was okay for now if both of you are confused but willing to try?"

Meditation is so simple but the best way to stay in the moment and enjoy your day. Close your eyes, breathe in saying “let” in your minds voice and breathe out saying “go”. Try it just 4 times and see how much better you feel 💝

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”

Willow and her son River who I’ve been working with to restore trust at Liberty Farm Sanctuary in Warren, MA. These two blind horses arrived after their rescue from a kill pen and would not lie down until their first healing session 💜💜
