“I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going to be with me and I don't want to spend my life with someone who is always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It's high time that I accept all the great things about me.” ― C. JoyBell C.{April 2018}

only crappy cell phone quality but can we talk about how amazing my boy is? my barn owner sent me these this morning. She told her son (1,5 years old) to wait for a moment while she was checking on the fence. He was tired and wanted to nap so when she came back she found him snuggling with Johann and he just loves the attention and snuggles <3

“Don't let the expectations and opinions of other people affect your decisions. It's your life, not theirs. Do what matters most to you; do what makes you feel alive and happy. Don't let the expectations and ideas of others limit who you are. If you let others tell you who you are, you are living their reality — not yours. There is more to life than pleasing people. There is much more to life than following others' prescribed path. There is so much more to life than what you experience right now. You need to decide who you are for yourself. Become a whole being. Adventure.” ― Roy T. Bennett {June 2017}
