    I am noticing a swing of the pendulum is heading my direction, and that leaves me questioning how far have I slide.

  • 4 leg’d therapists
    Equine therapy, actually feeling the difference between fight/flight and rest/digest, and then abandoning the practice of trying to drag and force life. There is something pretty awesome, when you can feel the boundaries of “yes and no” in my life.
