A typical day in my life includes…
walks with my husband, a run or yoga, working, and a cow hug.
I was born…
to share horses with the world.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the sunsets.
I’m listening to…
Trevor Hall.
My family…
taught me to be independent and relish diversity.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Oprah.
One thing I cannot live without…
coffee.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
running free on a horse.
I’m inspired by…
relentless people.
The one person who motivates me is…
my husband.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
impulsivity and instant gratification. It makes people hurt themselves, others, and animals. I hate it. We need to take care of one another and dogs and cows too.
The perfect day would be…
I live it every day, but eventually, I’ll spend less time in the office and more time on a horse, with my husband, and fighting for bigger causes.
My first job was…
detasseling corn.
My favorite escape…
running.
My life…
is a surprise to me every day.
I’m currently working on…
creating a curriculum to help at the training level for first responders so they don’t develop PTSD, starting a homeless dog project and training for a PR in a half marathon.
Always…
kiss your honey and check your heart and mind for fear that’s holding you back.
Never…
do something that is going to hurt someone or something for your immediate gratification.
Favorite Quote…
“If you have one hour of air
And many hours to go
you must breathe slowly.
If you have one arm’s length
And many things to care for,
You must give freely
If you have one chance to know God
And many doubts, you must
Set your heart on fire.
We are blessed.
Each day is a chance.
We have two arms
Fear wastes air.”
– Mark Nepo
Biggest Dream…
to live in Italy for 3 months a year.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
the number of animals that are abandoned and need homes.
