The past week has been a little chaotic, as a close family member had emergency surgery and is still in the hospital. It’s the first time in my life when I’ve been so directly involved in helping care for a family member. Thankfully I have mentors I can reach out to who have been through it before. Reaching outside of the situation for help is hard, but going through it alone is even harder. Same as any challenging time, even with horses. Reaching out for help from those who have a similar experience to yours is healing. It steadies you.
I hope that you’ll reach out too when in the middle of a chaotic time, to those who are outside of the storm and willing to assist, even if it’s just to listen. I promise you it helps. Someday you can do the same for someone else.
My paperback book, Standing in a Field With Horses, is available for only $8.99 for a limited time. EBook also still available.
