About Me

I am a wife, mother of 3, grandma of 2. I live in rural Alberta. I work full time as an educational assistant for special needs students. I love to ride,train and take care of horses.Rodeos and roping. I get myself mixed up in ranch work all the time.
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a horse,"
or, "that's a lot of money for "just a horse".
They don't understand the distance traveled, the time
spent, or the costs involved for "just a horse."
Some of my proudest moments have come about
with "just a horse."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a horse," but I did
not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about
by "just a horse,' and in those days of darkness,
the gentle touch of "just a horse" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a horse," then you will probably understand
phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a horse" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust,
and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a horse" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
Because of "just a horse" I will rise early, take long
walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a horse"
but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the
future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a horse" brings out what's good in me and diverts my
thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's
not "just a horse" but
the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from ..being "just a woman."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a horse" just
smile, because they "just" don't understand.

MY FAMILY

I'd like to meet:

God and Jesus, I can't explain what that will feel like.I would love to meet Howie Mandel, I think he would make me laugh! A friend like Oprah wouldn't hurt either.No Offence Queenie, I will still bow to you.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

Heroes:

My Dad and Mom, my children and all they have been through with me and of course my best pal Janny
Look at them, they are so strong
Look at them, they are so fine
Strong women, taking on many tasks
Strong women, building their empire
Setting the stage for their legacy
Setting the bar for persistency
Doing it all the right way
Doing what they enjoy and love
Strong women, made of steel and substance
Strong women, the ones people say
They can be just like them
They can do what they do
Look how far they have come
No one looks at them and encourages them
Yet, they manage to have successes in their lives
Wow, with sex appeal to boot and talent that rocks
And monies to afford their own island
Strong women that people admire how far they have come
And where they are now
Yes, the once poor girls, from poor families
Whose families could not afford shoes and sometimes food
Have plenty of that, love, and respect too
Because they built their empire on strong foundations
With honesty and hard work, they are strong women.
