Connectivity-The Web of Life

This morning Jess and Cathy are sitting around the kitchen table together.  Jess talked about being with family over the weekend, celebrating her Aunt Helen.   Cathy taught at the International Pony Club Festival the previous weekend.   All throughout our lives, with family, with our work, with our hobbies, we make life-long connections.  Its important in these connections, that show up.  You are in connection in so many ways, and play an important part in so many lives.  Think about that.  You are an important part in this life!

Generosity-Makes Life Rich

Jess and Cathy talk today about what it’s like to share.   Sharing knowledge, sharing skills.  Jess talks about sharing her horse Speedy this weekend with Kennedy for a clinic she was riding in.    She said, it was a “triple win”.  A “win” for herself to watch Kennedy and Speedy, a “win” for Kennedy to participate and learn, and ride a different horse than her own, and a “win” for Speedy to be in the clinic and have his own experience with it.   Cathy shared how she loves to teach everything she has learned—how easy and purposeful it is to give that to her students.  We get back so much by giving what we have, whether it be knowledge, skills, the farm, or our horse!   Think about how it makes your life so rich the way you are generous!   Leave us a comment what you love to share with others!

Celebrating Connection—Conviviality!

Jess and Cathy talk about how rich it is to be involved with others,—having the connection to other peoples stories.  It is so fun to be able to celebrate the successes of others!  Jess did a cooking class with Quita Michel.  Ouita mentioned often the good things that food brings to people and used the term ‘conviviality’.  Ouita said that she feels that conviviality is “joy”, it is good conversation, a sharing around, connection  It is her whole purpose in the work she does.  Think about that richness of your life, and how you can create it for yourself!   Please subscribe, share, and give us some comments!   Peace and Love!

Having the Right Tools in the Toolbox!

Jess and Cathy continue talking about fear, and what can help us move out of it.  It is important to educate yourself and get as much information and skills that you can.  They are great tools in your toolbox to help you overcome fear. You get to move into the fear, and the more you take those steps, the easier it is to cast off the lines and move off the dock in Jess’s metaphor, or in Cathy’s metaphor it becomes easier to jump the jumps!  Tools give you knowledge, skills, you attain a more confident “balance.”   Hey thanks for listening in!  We appreciate it!  Like, subscribe, give us a review and share with a friend!

It’s All Good   The Power of Positivity!  

Jess and Cathy talk about how important it is to look at the bright side of things—the glass is half full versus half empty.   Cathy is known for saying, “It’s all good”—in her conversations.  She thinks it’s from the “Life is Good” theme t-shirts.  Even if something goes wrong, it can turn out good, there is a remedy or solution. They give lots of examples how that kind of attitude spreads out to the people around them. We get smiles back when we give someone our smile.  Jess reads someones name tag and calls them by name like she knows them.  Everyone deserves to be seen!

FEAR-Face Everything and Rise

A listener requested we talk about fear.  We feel this when we think something bad is going to, or might happen.   Jess talks about where that that fear lives in our brain—in the Limbic region.  It does not speak a language there—it messages us with images or sensations.  Our brain wants a story and sometimes it confabulates something that could be false.  We can change and re-write that story so we don’t get triggered.  Cathy talks about fear and how it can get in the way of the rider.  She wants to know if there is fear and then it can be talked about. Preparation in our riding and in other things in our life can help us not let the fear take hold and control what we want to do, or how we want to live!

Cathy and Jess talk this morning about preparation.  Preparing correctly helps you live in the moment, knowing that you are ready—   Jess is taking her boat, The Relation Ship back to Canada at the end of June.  She has made sure the boat was “summerized”—the wheel bearings done on her trailer, and the brakes looked at.  Her truck just was serviced.   They keep lists of things that need to be done.  Cathy is preparing to put out jumps for the MidSouth Horse Trial.  She has driven over the land to see the best placement, she has measured the arena for the show jumping.  We all have to “think ahead”, do what needs to be done, and that helps us live in the moment, in peace to enjoy it!
