I know I have not been present lately and it may be a bit before I can be so again. Some of you follow me on Facebook, so this will not be news-worthy for you... I finished updating my business plan for the 3rd time this month. Why would I do that? I mean, the redo I did in April was fantastic, right? It was. But... I changed my priorities just a tad after my last grant review. Then, Skip created an AI with real time feedback on the changes just in time for their newest biz plan focused grant: https://d.helloskip.com/UjtZ When I first asked the AI for feedback, I got a 7/10, which is considered "Good". After A LOT of tweaking, I now have a 10/10 score! My husband says I can stop now. I do have plenty else to perfect... lol And, I'm having fun creating videos. I seem to be doing something right... we have 3k TikTok followers now! Not all of the videos are doing well, but that is to be expected. I created this one today as an invitation to join my new membership site. My husband says I sound cheerful. 🙂 I would really love it if someone here has the time to create a free profile, take a look around and give a review. But, I know we are all super busy at the moment and I still have a lot of work to put in! Anyway, I'm super excited to have a place to share my wins! Thank you!

Heading into the new week gives us opportunities to reflect not only on the times of triumph but also the lessons learned. Being a forever student is essential in equine coaching! This field is constantly growing and changing so to be the best coaches for our clients we have to be open to learning. Whether the lessons come from a training or from a session with a client, they are all important! So I challenge you to think and share about a learning opportunity you had last week and how you are going to adapt because of the lesson learned from that experience. Was it... 🐴the way you interpreted how a horse was communicating with you about a client? 📝how to adapt an activity to meet the needs of a specific client? 🧘‍♀️to give yourself grace when you feel overwhelmed by the goals you have set for your business? Let's hear it! 👇

Oh Mondays...how they sneak up on us! Sometimes Mondays mean a fresh start but sometimes they can mean leaping over giant hurdles that get in your way of productivity. It all depends on how you look at it. As this Monday approaches, what hurdles are you going to have to overcome? Could it be... 🥵A horrible heatwave rolling in so you have to reschedule sessions (my current situation!)? 🐴 A horse of yours has a mysterious injury or illness? 💻A technical issue that prevents your awesome program from launching on time? These things happen and you can't avoid them. It's the nature of the business. All you can do is give yourself grace, let go of what you can't control, and try your best to leap over that hurdle with a possible solution. What is your hurdles of the week and how do you plan on leaping over the hurdle with grace🏃‍♀️

Yesterday, I opened my email and nearly fell out of my chair — the subject line read: “You Just Won $2,000 in TikTok Ad Credits!” Wow! Honestly, I still can’t believe it. I quit using TikTok when it was banned in the US. When it came back, they ran this million-dollar ad credit giveaway for small businesses, and I thought, “Why not?” So, I created a new account, filled out the form on a whim, and promptly forgot about it. I never even posted! Well… the odds must have been in our favor, because now we have $2,000 in ad credits — but they expire July 31st! So here I am, scrambling to get our TikTok account looking active and brainstorming what videos to share (or boost) to help more people find our mission. And because life loves a good plot twist, I’m also in the middle of moving our Hoofbeats of Hope community to a new platform — it needs to be done in the next few days to avoid paying for two at once. So, if I seem a bit frazzled, now you know why. I’m overwhelmed, but so incredibly excited for what’s ahead. Wish me luck — and if you’ve got ideas for gentle, horse-themed TikToks or words of encouragement, drop them below. Better yet, let me know on TikTok! Every bit of support helps! Let’s see what this unexpected blessing can do for Healing Horse Touch and Hoofbeats of Hope.

This new week can hold so many opportunities! If we put our wishes out to the atmosphere, who knows that can happen!! Share yours below 😊
