The Last Ark Orphanage - A Better Tomorrow
“The horse. Here is nobility without conceit, friendship without envy, beauty without vanity. A willing servant, yet never a slave.” — Ronald Duncan
Whether as friend, companion, worker, or wild and free, horses are, as stated above, noble and beautiful. I happened upon The Last Ark Orphanage rather by accident when searching for horse rescues (part personal and part research), and the first images I came across were difficult to view. They don't shy away from showing the suffering the horses en...
Horses in Fiction - From Black Beauty to Prince
From Black Beauty and Pegasus to Spirt and Seabiscuit, and horses from the beginning of books and movies, these magnificent animals have been featured as powerful allies, stubborn foes, and regrettably at times victim of evil or nature.
Horses always serve a purpose in fiction, and each horse breed serves a different purpose. From the Irish Draught and Mongol to Thoroughbreds and Mustangs, they each have a time period, setting, and climate where they thrive. Friesians happen to be a favorite of...

Joy, Purpose, and Slow Living ~ Upbeat Authors
First, I'm going to share that I love Ella Roberts's music. I don't know how I hadn't heard of her before, but she's wonderful! Her soft Celtic music, which includes many of my favorite songs, has been a companion through my past few weeks of writing. Her songs bring joy and pair well with slow living.
I recently came across this movement called Slow Living, which it happens, has been around for quite a long time, so apparently I'm slow in a few things. Anyway, it's a wonderful and simple conc...

200-Year-Old Vermont Farmhouse Adventure
I'm venturing to the past with this post set in a farmhouse where I spent six months of adventurous living in Vermont. I've included a few before pictures to show you the drastic change a little hard work and some favorite decor can accomplish. I'm going to spare you most of them . . . well, the place hadn't been lived in for a while. Did I mention this was an adventure?
I've shared a few of these images on Instagram and Pinterest, but while going through old posts on an inactive blog, and not...

Upbeat Authors ~ Finding Balance
"Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy." ~Robert Tew
Finding balance . . . as someone who struggles with it daily, I'm hardly in a position to offer tips of my own. Authors struggle to find time for their writing and for their real life, but this isn't unlike what almost very other person who has multiple passions, hobbies, and careers face. However, there are a few things I've learned, and when I "allow" myself to adopt these...
