To get what we want we often have to give something up or at least learn to prioritize in a manner that puts our passions first. So, what are you giving up to get what you want?

I stand in my way. lol. I am dedicated to learning how to stop that, though.

Me too. My answer exactly.

I am giving my best to get anything.

My fear and lack of strength stand in my way.

Cassie-

Try this on for size, Tackling Fear and Living Your Biggest Dream .

Thanks Yvonne. Some of that I am not quite ready for yet. I have sunk a bit low and need to get some inner strength back first before I start tackling dreams and such. I am just working on the inner me for now to feel good about who I am and to get some peace and joy back into my life. Baby steps until I learn to walk again, and then I will really take off!

Hey Cassie!

Glad to "see" you again!

I seem to recall a similar line of communication between you and I in an earlier forum. I hope everyday is finding you in a better place than you were the day before.

How are the animals treating you? What's the status of the horses?

I'm really excited you are visiting the Inspiration Forum again. Can't wait to chat again.

My two yellow labs are fine. They get me out and about walking every day.

My horses are in a good place and I have come to an agreement with the farm owner. Financially I have had a hard time to afford my two horses without a job. Work is not coming fast enough to save the day, so I have put the younger horse up for sale. I hate to do it, as I have had her for 7 years since she was 2 yrs old, but I can't make it all work right now.

The older horse is 22 and I will keep her until she dies. She is great to ride, very safe, and a salt of the earth type of girl. She has taught me so much and I have had her since she was 16 yrs old.

Because of my divorce two years ago I had to move an hour and 10 minutes away from my horses (I hardly see them these days), and there is no cheaper place to keep them around here. I only pay for their food and they are both used in a children's lesson program. I do not pay a board fee. It would be hard to find this situation elsewhere, and I am in New England where the closer you get to the shore, the more expensive it is to board horses.

You guessed it, I am closer to the water now where I spent about a year and a half with my boyfriend who is now deceased. At some point I will be heading to the west coast, either this fall or next fall to be with my family. I will have to ship my riding horse and that will be very expensive.

Again...one day at a time. One never knows what is just around the corner. Thanks for asking.
