I'm going to be brutally honest here (what else is new, I know), 2025 has been a tough one.
I haven't gone into it too publicly on here, but my husband was traveling for work and this year he was gone for over 5 months between January and September. (Notice I said "was", I thank God this chapter is over.)
Additionally, we have been building our first home as our own general contractors for over a year.
I sold two nice show horses to bring in some up and comings, which meant my show season wasn't going to be one of accolades and prize money.
I walked into 2025 quietly, and completely aware that it was going to be brutal due to my own choices.
Why am I telling you all of this? To be authentic. Social media is frequently a highlight reel and we don't see the dirt, grit, and 💩 happening behind the screen.
I knew where I wanted to be in the next couple of years and what steps needed to be taken to get there. I also knew full well that it was going to suck like none other.
This has been what I call a transitional year, I've had a couple of them in my not so very many years on this Earth.
Transitional years are the years God lets you be tested like Job himself. It seems it's one thing after another and you can't catch a break. Transitions are uncomfortable, and that's the intention. You will always hit the most resistance right before finding your path.
I am a firm believer in God's plan and that even bad situations have a purpose in his plan. If you pray for strength, God does not send smooth waters and sunny days, he sends you storms and hurricanes.
I am very hopeful for what 2026 has in store for Ranger Point with some nice up and coming prospects and a great group of people that support each other.
