Without fail Buckie nodded twice to permit me to carry on. I even asked once if he was ready for another release, he looked at me, turned away walked around a bit then nodded twice again😌

Getting taught by horses is something special. It’s a beautiful privilege to be able to work with these gorgeous creatures.

Just looking through these reminds me of how lucky we are not to be living amid the toxic silt/dust. All the stress and pressure is sure is going to take time to recover from, rebuild and hopefully get some semblance of normality.

Just want to share the amazing experiences during my ConTact C.A.R.E travels in the Hawke’s Bay (HB).
The whole experience was very emotional and surreal .
My purpose during this journey was to provide ContTact C.A.R.E. To equine, human and other animals after the trauma of the recent cyclone and subsequent flooding.
It was one of the most rewarding experience being able to put my ConTact C.A.R.E. Skills to use for those in immediate need and I will be forever grateful to be a part of the many teams that have journeyed to the HB to provide assistance.
There’s been so much for me to unpack so will share as I can.

Thanks for the share Annette, this is a great read.

This 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with her hair fashionably coiffed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home yesterday. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

“Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room …. just wait.”

“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged, it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice;

I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away, just for this time in my life.”

She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account, you withdraw from what you’ve put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing.”

And with a smile, she said: “Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less, & enjoy every moment.

I loved cooking but with time this feels more and more like a chore. I work in a busy office, so it’s already hard at the best of times, and recently it’s been insane with...
