👋 Hey animal lovers! Thanks for watching! 😊 This morning at the farm, we had quite the start with elk and a bunny standoff, but then a scare with Caesar the horse. We're always focused on horse care and ensuring all our animals, including the wild animals that visit, are doing well. Our vet team is dedicated to animal rescue and providing the best care for every creature on the ranch.

Today I am grateful for another day of life. I am grateful for the beautiful wet fog settling on the landscape outside at daybreak. I am grateful I have heat, and comfy clean clothes. I am grateful for a hot cup of coffee on a chilly May morning. I am grateful for a full schedule at work, for my wonderful team that supports me, and for my family. I am grateful for the full moon transformation happening in the next two weeks, a time of increased energy on this earth, and all the planetary alignments it brings which leads to an increased consciousness for all of us.

If you are interested in space weather and the universe, and what that has meant for the earth and us humans for centuries, I highly recommend checking out Stefan Burns on YouTube, because the information he presents every day is not only educational, and factual, it’s fascinating.

Yesterday was Rhoen’s 22nd birthday, and I am so grateful for her. We had fun throwing a little party for her, and it was so cool to see her breath on the chilly evening actually blow out her candles (on the carrot cake she did not want). The video of it is here https://youtu.be/35LzQRl374Y

Why a horse birthday party? Because you have to lean in to what you are grateful for! That is the way to finding true happiness, and peace in your life.

It’s Hump Day Wednesday, what will you lean in to, today? What are you happy about today? What are you excited about? If this were the last day of your life, how would you live it? Today is a great day, my Animal Loving Angel, so give yourself a big high five in the mirror, take those shoes and socks off, and connect with the earth, and yourself.

And if any part of your journey includes having a transformation with any of the animals in your life, in the areas of health or behavior, remember, I am here for you. Through Aspen Park Vet Hospital, every day, like today, we help dogs and cats have a better quality of life by alleviating their arthritis pain, coming up with out of the box cancer solutions, and simply giving great every day advice on how to brush their teeth, trim their nails, and what to feed them, to set you both up for a long, successful life.

And, if horses are what you love the most, and wish this year to be the year you progress in that area of your life, like never before, then the ResqRanch is for you. Either here locally, or, on line via this YouTube channel. Don’t forget to take some time for yourself to learn something new. And maybe that just might mean logging in to our free community and starting to learn about positive reinforcement training. What it is, what it isn’t, and why you should care.

​I hope you welcome this day with fun and courage. I believe in you. I believe, together, we can make this world a better, kinder, gentler, place for all animals, and their people. Make it the best day ever!
