🐴 Horse girl time. This is a very raw and real photo of what I look like in my everyday life tending the earth ‘aina, doing ranch chores, being with the horses & caring for them, as they care for me. Truth be told, I’m usually covered with the ever present red dirt of Kaua’i, Hawaii with these lovely earthly chores!
If you follow me, you’ll see that I love my fantasy life, as is evident by the artistic videos & photo shoots on this page 💃 & my 🧜♀️ content on my Tara Coyote - The Kaua'i Mermaid page, but this is honestly how I look most of the time & my happy place, besides the ocean, of course. 🌊
The horses are constantly grounding me, by the simple care of being with them and for this, I am eternally grateful. I don’t talk about them much, but they are the silent & solid backdrop to my world. With the reality of feeding them 3x a day, scooping p**p & being present for them, it is impossible to not have my life be all about them! This makes me incredibly happy! 🐎
If you don’t know I teach Equine Facilitated Learning sessions here at Wind Horse Sanctuary This is the profound work of Linda Kohanov who wrote the ground breaking book ‘The Tao of Equus’ and created Eponaquest. I adore this work and the powerful realizations & deep healing it creates for individuals. It’s great, heart fulfilling work. ♥️
Blue, my beloved paint horse here, is recovering from a second bout with squamous cell carcinoma on his left eyelid. If you’ve read my book ‘Grace, Grit & Gratitude: A Cancer Thriver’s Journey from Hospice to Full Recovery with the Healing Power of Horses’ you’ve heard about his first diagnosis with the eye cancer. He’s done really well with it actually, after first being diagnosed in 2020! I treat it with herbs and a whole nutritional routine and even made a video about it years ago. He’s recovering well from this second round. We both are cancer thrivers! 🙌🏽
I thought I would post a real photo from my everyday life, amidst the artistic ones to say hello.
Hi! How are you doing my friends? What is keeping your feet on the earth & bringing you joy these days in this wild and wacky world? I would sincerely love to know! 🌺
