Shedding

March 22nd, 2012 at 12:21pm Under Divine Cowgirl+ Relationship+ With ourselves

Dare I say it? I hold my breath as I do. Spring is coming!! The fruit trees are budding. Birds are singing. Renewal is on its way. It happens every year right about this time, yet still seems fresh and new. My horse knows too. She is shedding. I am brushing huge chunks of long [...]

Galloping Bareback

December 1st, 2011 at 08:00am Under Divine Cowgirl+ Horse+ Relationship

I had the most wonderful ride on my mare today. For the first time in 40 years I galloped bareback. That may sound silly to some, but to me it was a joyous moment. I have ran her frequently out on the trails which are our favorite place to ride, just never bareback like I [...]

Bonnie

Grooming

October 24th, 2011 at 08:53am Under Divine Cowgirl+ Horse+ Inward Journey+ Relationship+ With ourselves

I approach my beautiful dark bay mare in her pen. She knickers a soft greeting to me. I take her fly mask off, revealing her big brown eyes looking back at me. I love taking the mask off, exposing her eyes, like opening the window to her tender soul. We say our helloes. A little [...]

Lessons From a Cat

October 19th, 2011 at 01:51pm Under Divine Cowgirl+ Relationship+ With others+ With ourselves

Let me tell you a funny story about my cat Buddy. He is a beautiful black and white tuxedo cat. One night I was relaxing in my big red recliner. I suddenly became aware of the rustling of a plastic grocery bag. I looked up and out of the corner of my eye and I [...]

Renting Space

September 5th, 2011 at 08:00am Under Divine Cowgirl+ Relationship+ With ourselves

Have you ever noticed how attached we are to our stuff? We fill the closets, the garage and even rent space to store stuff. And then we promptly forget just what we put in storage. And there are even reality shows around our stuff – those that hoard and those who bid on unpaid storage [...]

Reframing Our Experience

August 22nd, 2011 at 02:07pm Under Divine Cowgirl+ Relationship+ With ourselves

Our frame of reference, our point of view is a mix of what we learned before we could talk (thanks to our family of origin) and our perceptions based on a mix of our culture of origin (COO), religion of origin (ROO) and even school of origin patterns. In other words much of what we [...]

Cranky?

August 2nd, 2011 at 06:19am Under Divine Cowgirl+ Relationship+ With ourselves

I don’t know about you, but the heat can make me cranky! Yes, I am talking about the outside temperature, but I am also talking about the self-generated kind (and no, not what comes with menopause.) I am thinking more along the lines of reacting emotionally to the play of life. I know that I [...]

Visioning

April 6th, 2009 at 04:23pm Under Divine Cowgirl

I was talking with a friend the other day and was stuck by her reticence to imagine the next steps in her life.   A few years earlier she had imagined a life in another country, and was excited about the adventure.   The problem was that it came to pass.  And in accepting the [...]
