Life is a journey, and if you remain open to all the universe has planned for you, that journey can be a wild and wonderful ride.

As many of you know, I am a lifetime equestrian. My passion for horses began at a very young age, and I started riding at eight. Throughout my life, I have stepped away, but am always drawn back to my very first love. 

For four years, I was honored to be paired with a “unicorn” named Tristan. However, in 2023, my trainer moved away, taking Tristan with her, and opening a window just large enough for the universe to present a new opportunity, and Good Vibes Sound Bath was born. Michelle Steadman and I never could have imagined the impact our floating sound bath business would have, and it has been an incredible adventure.  

This year, we passed Good Vibes on to gracious new owners who will take the immersive experience to the next level, allowing us both to take a breath. For me, it is time to follow my heart back to horses. 

This picture is one of my favorites. Greek Week freshman year of college. The items on the sorority scavenger hunt competition included a horse. I had admired this little guy not far from campus in a pasture of black cows, and saw this as an opportunity to meet him. I grabbed my chaps and ran, bravely knocking on a door answered by a priest who said, “If you can catch him, you can take him.” We galloped back and won the competition. Riding him around campus made for one of the best days of my life. My heart was so very happy. 

I still get that feeling every time I have the honor to connect with a horse. 

This Year of the Fire Horse represents freedom and passion and is expected to bring fast-paced energy and bold opportunities for growth. I encourage you to remain open to all the universe has planned for you. Listen, learn and follow your heart. It just may lead you on a wild and wonderful ride. 

May you find your Fire Horse ~
