The Flash Speaks

See you in the new place!

AHA'S of my retreat in SLC

hair tips -

negative talk that does not support my hair

cant get it like the stylist

cant get my hair funky enough - edgy enough

my spouse has opinions about my hair

I love My Hair

My Hair Is Great Today

(let go of negative talk by burning in a tin can all the negative comments about my hair

that I wrote and put in that tin can)

Our struggles  PRACTICE with our nature or energy profile (a..ha.. moments with Carol)

I am well on the path of practicing me; I no longer think of myself as recovering!  Take the word Struggle out of my vocabulary and replace it with Practice.

Hair update:

short short hair cut this week as

I miss short hair and so I did get it buzzed

at the back and sides and left the top

longer.  Loving it so far!

{i may cut it shorter next time)

I am so proud of me...because

I started swimming end of September

twice a week and I am still going twice a week

Below is this morning's photo and I am just

ready to jump in and flip the goggles down.

Ear plugs stick out kinda like Shrek ears but

they work really well for keeping the water out!

Going in... splash !!

packin' - stylin'

Hey All!

How is it going?

the days are cold and

especially today Dec 29th!

 I am working on a hair style

that is a tad edgier than my norm

and packing for our holiday in another

week. 

I remember when Christmas was the most exciting 

time for me because my Mom really made it magical.

As an adult I still enjoy the lights and look forward

to a present or two under the tree but it is a quieter season for me now

and I like it like that.  

A few Christmas events building up  to the day is

good but I now just want to snuggle in with a good read

and watch the tree lights twinkle and visit quietly

with a friend or two.

This last week....

the parents are both still functioning okay in

a senior residence and also driving us crazy sometimes

with the medical appointments but we are presenting

our thoughts on that to them as best as we can

and praying this next year is quieter for having

flus' and hoping for keeping their medications stable.

I am very fortunate to have my brother and sister

in the city where my folks live.

They assist ALOT when they can and it is
like this:
  "It seems that one mother  can look after
 many children but now it takes all 3 of us and more to look after
one mother! (our father included)!

How about you?  

Keeping fit over the holidays?

Maintaining-no gain with the weight?

here is a great quote from Carol Tuttle

from Dressing Your Truth and Living Your Truth

lifestyle program

"When You Look Good And Feel Good, You Are More
Confident To Do Good, In A World That Needs Your Gifts!"

outside + supervisors

 straw being shovelled to fill the horse poll shed or shelter

 It appears, as usual that I need to be out here just to supervise and make

sure tractor and Mantracker are doing things efficiently.

 Hello girlfriend!

an iconic photo as a couple of the horses are in the arena and they are not   All ears pointing

forward

how is your winter November day?  Sunny I hope!

fall switch-ups

I had fun changing my cowgirl boots from all black

to this!

Brian and I bought a horse.  Well we bought out the other

co-owner's share.  We spent all spring and summer attempting

to sell this buckskin called Brushetta; but I knew deep down she needed to be my horse (well 

Brian's horse too.)  So we done did it! and now can take her out and feel

comfortable with a good solid and mild tempered riding horse.

 As a 10 year old she is young enough to enjoy

rides with her for a good many years

T

Horses are not always what you hope for

so we have sold one colt to a trainer outside Melville

This young one, (Tuko),  showed he liked to buck for no reason... really?

He has had lots of rides on him and trained thoroughly

by both my husband and his partner.

He is at a good home now though as this trainer was

looking for a project horse. (perfecto!)

(fare thee well Tuko!)

I bought some clothes in Utah at my Dressing Your Truth

weekend retreat and I am attempting to get an outfit

together.  I bought this long forest green open sweater.

(so comfy)

Here's to stylin' it up and enjoying your pets!

technicalities on riding

okay I have muscle tension

I am attempting to re-train my riding

hand positions to keep the upper shoulders

more relaxed

so I need to repost these photos....

as you can see below my hands are turned with

the top of thumbs up

 I have my heels down in this above photo (that's a check mark) ...but hands in wrong position...{sigh}

ok this is better top of thumbs up while holding the reins

and my heels are moving downward

It used to drive me insanely crazy learning this preciseness. I can now see

the benefits when heels are down (I am grounded in my saddle) and my neck and shoulders

are more relaxed with "top of thumbs up".  I sense the horse feels more fluid when I position

myself correctly.

I can ride more relaxed and fluid as well as the horse. Cool stuff!

selfie + new doo

new doo with a golden touch

I am doing the hair cut photos from July 6 to now

I have a new stylist

and I like her!

today

(I did not plan that my shirt would

match the tea kettle behind or the

Mocha plaque on the wall)

5 weeks ago

so these last two cuts are a bit more stylish

and I need to work on my hair a bit more every day

to keep it stylish!

blow-dry and go girl I am and sometimes it's just wash

and go!  

Clear Lake mini stop over

Ok here are the selfies of our little family on our

'mini-bodybreak-vacation'

at Riding Mountain National Park

in Manitoba;

known as Clear Lake.

we stayed at Elkhorn Lodge at the park

there was indoor-outdoor hot tubs and pool/waterpark, 

restaurant, golf course ...right at the Lodge

A very nice place to vacation!

it's just my hair

hair is so

important to women

Some of you may think it is

no big deal

I guess I am getting pickier and want

a certain look now that I have

figured "me" out (finally)

hiring hairdressers

firing hairdressers (never coming back)

would never confront one myself

so it goes on and

picking someone out of the blue

like I did today (once again) because that is what

I usually do and have always done

I get bored with the sameness of the cut

or the colour was wrong

You gals know (right)?

happy today

with this

how is your hair day going?

small and proud

this is a sarcastic post

(a little bit it is)

We go to the 150th Canada Day

Celebration at our Western Development Museum

on July 1st

there was singing and dancing

entertainment;

Historical Vikings in costume,

with all the tools and handicraft

of their lifestyle; as well as a demo

of how they fought and died and survived (interesting).

Brian went to get a Canada Day cupcake or

piece of cake, so we thought, as last year they had

a huge table with cupcakes free for the taking,

all decorated with red and white icing.  It was kind of

special.

(Canada Day 2016)

this year there was no cupcakes or cake to be found

and they gave out small tiny Canada pins.

(very tiny)

 (can you see it?)

I am small but mighty.

this day was for kids at the museum grounds

that is for sure

so we grabbed a hamburger and a fudgsicle

and departed.  All good just expected more!

We saw the fireworks last night and they were good
but nothing too special just kind of the same as usual.
I suppose I was expecting more extravagance?  feel more special as a Canadian citizen (spoil alert)!

at Smitty's in Regina

Smitty's Regina - August 2016

my feelings with a horse

A mood-lifting 30 minutes for myself

is to just work with a horse

on the ground;

and when hubby and I play with them

together or I am assisting with a bit

of the training

it is a great way for us to do something active

together.

I couldn't get Tuko across this new

bridge Mantracker built to add to

his horse training props .....

aha...but I got on the bridge so

Tuko trained me as he wouldn't step on it (horses are smart)

Mantracker got him across it of course

because he is always with a horse

and knows this horse's course
yadayadayada..

anyway... horses are a therapy to me!

Being around them, especially if it is 

one on one, whether riding or just playing with 

them on the ground; it seems things make sense for

the rest of the day and big problems get smaller, daily irritations

go away.  It is a beautiful feeling.

plush and paint

I seem to have time on my hands

so this is what I have been up to

this week

my new floor rug;

it is plush and I can

squish my bare toes on it.

{decision photo made here}

added some new pillows for balance

as my friend advised me to do

this pillow is from my folks

a few years back

both of them were avid golfers

as was my grandpa Trembley

I love it!

I had a couple of cupboard doors that

we took off  and I decided to paint on it

(go big or go home!)

drawing in proportion

here is a funny tree face

I just wanted to colour!

I am facing this month with as much positivity

as I can summon

so when one is idle it means you are given

opportunity to have fun or create or travel, whatever spins "your ponytail"!

slow firestarter today

yes

I am joyful

I am so much fitter

than I was 3 months ago

it all looks good

from my pics below?

let's be real

and talk about when you are still

fit and joyful

but doggin' the odd day

and your mind says

"whoa"

that's me

today

don't wanna' day

stay home

read, meditate

pet a horse

share here

that my left neck and shoulder

is annoying me

though not really painful

just a bit bite-y

even when I 'dog- it' like today I find

I am doing a work -out at 3 pm this afternoon

because it's habit and my body and mind say

we are missing something - get it?

keep it going

keep it real, stay low and know it

sucks when the mood hits you like that

get your fire starter sessions going
