As 2026 begins — a year often associated with the energy of the Fire Horse — I feel that sense of forward movement in a very different way than I once did. Not as urgency or force, but as honest momentum. The kind that comes from clarity, lived experience, and the courage to begin again without rushing. For me, this year feels less about pushing ahead and more about stepping forward with intention — alongside a horse, and in partnership with myself.
Tonight was perfect—the kind of evening that doesn’t ask for anything but your presence.
I had a realization today that surprised me — one of those quiet truths that shows up when you finally slow down enough to hear yourself think.
Wylee is a year-and-a-half-old Mini Australian Shepherd, and he is my constant companion. He’s there for the early mornings, the quiet afternoons, the walks, the chores, the thinking, and the pauses. Wherever I am, he is usually close by, watching, waiting, ready.
There are days at the barn when everything feels easy. The air is quiet, the horses are soft, and somehow… so am I. Those are the days when things just fall into place. Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels heavy.
