Episode 122: On Writing Thousand Word Stories, Magical Moments & Realizing Dreams with Kathy Simmers
Episode 122: In this Equestrian Author Spotlight, you'll meet Kathy Simmers.
Kathy always wanted to live on a farm with horses. When she was twelve years old, she started taking riding lessons. At nineteen she bought her first horse. It seemed like she was well on her way, but life doesn’t always go in a straight line. Though Kathy faced many obstacles she never gave up on her dream. Today Kathy & her husband live on a farm in North Carolina with horses, llamas, a small herd of goats, cats, a dog, and some chickens.
Jump the Moon, Kathy’s children’s book is based on the true story of her daughter (the girl with the long blonde hair) and the unbelievable bond she developed with her pony (Me Too). Witnessing their story was initially exciting, at times heartbreaking and ultimately one of the most inspiring experiences she has ever known. It was so inspiring in fact that it's why today Kathy lives in North Carolina on the horse farm that she always dreamed of, where she is currently working on her next book.
She hopes that by sharing Jump the Moon readers will learn the importance of trusting your heart, following your dreams and never putting limits on what is possible.
Saddle up for a conversation about magical moments, leaning into the pursuit of a dream, writing strong stories in a thousand words, and building intuition through horses.
