WONDERFUL WINTER DAY


The last couple of day have been fantastic winter days.

Blue sky, sunshine and no wind.

Olivia wanted to ride out (on her Sunshine) and we also brought with us, her dog Twittie. Twitte is a dog Olivia rescued from a shelter were 500 dogs sat and the adoption rate was a couple of dogs a year. Olivia was only four years old when she adopted Twittie, but showed us all how responsible she already was back then. She has always been there for her dog.



Twittie is to left behind the Pony.

THIS WEEKS COLUMN ABOUT LIFE, DARKNESS AND LIGHT

Nedan ar den pa svenska, eller klicka in har till Tidningen Nara


The Darkness is the Light's Way of Preparing us for Something Beautiful

Animals and children are our great teachers of wisdom.
Their wisdom is always spot on, and inspiring.
It was the day before Christmas Eve two years ago; my daughter Olivia broke her femur in a riding accident. Weeks turned into months as Olivia was home alone in her home.
The school did not support her, despite pressure from me. Relatives and friends were far away! It was a hard dark time, with pain and tears.
"Mom, it hurts to live! "Olivia said one morning.
As mom it made extremely painful to hear those words. We talked about that after the darkness comes the light, and not to try to lose hope.
One day asked Olivia me to drive her to the stable where the accident had occurred. She went to the big beautiful horse. ' "It was not your fault and I do still love you!"
The place where the accident had happened sat deep within her, like a vicious thorn in the heart.
We decided to search for a new riding school. We found one that was not far from our home. There was a beautiful sand-colored (palomino)  pony named Sunshine. Olivia and he hit it off immediately. Never before had I seen a horse and rider become so attached to each other that quickly.
I looked up to the Universe and smiled.
"Mom, do you remember the day when we talked about never losing our hope when it feels dark. Not to see an accident as only something negative. " said Olivia
I recalled a message from a street dog that reminded of what Olivia said.
To my luck, I found my notes from the time I met the homeless dog.
Most people are afraid of pain, but they also fear facing their fellow beings pain. They many times flee and judge it to maybe, it can be a drama they do not want to be involved in. A person's pain is not only his or her lesson; it is everyone's lesson. It shows if you are judgmental and walks away, or if you are the one who helps. A lesson is not only negative, but if the fear comes in, it will become negative.

That's Amore!

Mörkret är Ljusets sätt att förbereda oss för något vackert

Djur och barn är fantastiska lärare. Deras visdom är alltid klockren och inspirerande.
Det var dagarna innan julafton för snart två år sedan som min dotter Olivia bröt lårbenet i en ridolycka. Veckor blev till månader som Olivia tvingades ligga ensam i sitt hem.
Skolan stöttade inte henne trots påtryckningar från mig. Släkt och vänner fanns långt borta! Det var en svår mörk tid, med smärta och tårar.
”Mamma, det gör ont att leva! ” sa Olivia en morgon.
Som mamma gjorde det oerhört ont att höra de orden. Vi pratade om att efter mörkret kommer ljuset, om att försöka att inte förlora hoppet.
En dag bad Olivia mig köra henne till stallet där olyckan hade inträffat. Hon gick fram till den stora vackra hästen. ’”Fina du, det var inte ditt fel och jag älskar dig fortfarande!” sa hon.
Platsen för olyckan hade satt djupa spår inom henne, som en ond tagg i hjärtat.
Vi bestämde oss för att söka efter en ny ridskola. Vi hittade en som inte låg långt ifrån vårt hem. Där fanns en vacker sandfärgad ponny vid namn Sunshine. Olivia och han fann varandra direkt. Aldrig förr hade jag sett ett ekipage vara så sammansvetsade som de två.
Jag tittade upp mot Universum och log. 
”Mamma kommer du ihåg den dagen då vi pratade om att aldrig förlora hoppet när det känns mörkt. Att inte se en olycka endast som något negativt.” sa Olivia
Jag mindes ett budskap från en gatuhund som påminde om vad Olivia sagt.
Till min lycka hittade jag noteringarna från den hemlösa hunden.
De flesta människor är rädda för smärtan, men ni är även rädda inför era medmänniskors smärta. Ni flyr undan många gånger och dömer det till att det kan vara ett drama ni inte vill bli involverade i. En människas smärta är inte endast deras lärdom, det är allas lärdom. Det visar om ni är fördömande och ryggar, eller om ni är den som hjälper. En lärdom är inte endast negativ, men om rädslan träder in, blir den till negativ.


Med dessa ord vill jag, Olivia, Max, vår Sunshine passa på att önska er underbara läsare en riktigt God jul och ett Magiskt 2017.
That’s Amore!

DECEMBER 1


Unbelievable day today. Happy December 1!

Incredible wonderful weather today!

6 C and sunny, no wind. It was magic walking through the woods. Some birds were singing beautiful up in the tree tops. We felt free and the mind felt free!

Olivia and I said, making turns;

Look what God created
Look what Universe created
Look what Holly Spirit kept
Look what Mother Nature is all about
Look at ArchAngel Michael is protecting
Life is wonderful when you see the holiness
That's Amore!

Our Sunshine in Life at the Big Day

This horse is magic! I am so proud over him that it is sometimes unbelievable!

He is smart, polite, educated and so nice to my daughter when they are together. Never anything bad, quiet the opposite. He teaches my daughter about riding and life.
Last Sunday was a competition at Nordstetten and Olivia signed up. It was her first big event but Sunny had done them before.

Some pep talk before.
Olivia entered the dressage Reiter WB and won in her group. We were so happy, not mainly for first place, but for getting back up in the saddle again.  After her horrible riding accident back in december 2014 when she broke her femur, it also broke her confidence. Actually, our lives changed a lot that time.
Lena Kiefer is helping Olivia before entering.
And some cute girls were admiring Olivia and Sunny.

And me, drank prosecco with the lovely ladies.
Olivia warming up Sunny.

There are also so many new people that we are thankful for, having in our lives. Her riding teachers in dressage and jumping and new friends.

Olivia did good in jumping, I think she scored 6,5p. Olivia was a little surprised and shocked after the jumping, since Sunny really got his speed up. But, I am proud over how far she has come in this short period of time. And we are forever thankful for Sunny Boy, what a fantastic horse!

That's Amore!

Signs Out there in Life


During the last months have feathers literally been landing around my feet. Ever time I see them I smile, thanking life. Then suddenly, I wonder why I did that.

Why don't I smile and thank life when I see rocks, or people!

A wise friend of mine told me that feathers are signs from the Other Side. Telling us that we are on the right way in life.

Another wise friend, right at the same moment with all the feathers, released his book Healing.  On the books front cover, there is this beautiful feather. He  told me that Angels are sending us feathers.
Evert Tuesdays we receive a bucket of carrots to treat our love horse Sunshine. (He is a true spirit)
Olivia (my daughter) and I burst out of joy when we every week find what we call, our love carrots.

"We need more hugs in life," says Olivia and I  while hugging each other.
I have come to realise, that there are so many signs and reminders out there in life. And together with smiles and laughters the day can become magic.

Thats Amore!
