Year of the Horse

The brightest spot
2013 was an immensely shitty year with a few bright spots.

I don't know how else to describe it.

Instead of celebrating New Years on January first, I'm taking the Chinese calendar this year. I'm just lumping all of January's awfulness in with the shit-fest that was 2013. I guess I'm proactively claiming some of 2013's bright spots as 2014 material, but let's not get nitpicky.


So here's to moving forward and new experiences and fun adventures. I have a lot of ideas. I'm working on a list of goals.

I am taking advantage of every day to learn and grow with Courage. I'm tackling rider fitness (again) and eating habits (the worst). What Cuna gave me must be proactively maintained--that happiness, that fearlessness--and I want to get out there and do it.

I'm embracing 2014 and going on. It's not all joy all the time, and I try to be honest about my struggles, but I'm ready to move into a new era.














Aimee and Courage, moving forward.

      If it did, I'd be McClain Ward by now. I gave it my best shot.

    I ♥ that last photo of you & the C-man, colour coordination for the win! :-)
    Here's hoping the "new" new year is fantabulous for yourself and Courage. I cannot wait to hear what you get up to
