I wanted to take today to remind you all to do something that scares you. Don’t do something stupid. Don’t walk into traffic or have a “hold my beer moment.” Do something that will better your life but that scares the hell out of you. I’ve been trying to do more of these things over …
As of April 1st, it has officially been five years since I bought Bones. I can’t believe the time has flown by so fast! To commemorate the occasion, here are five life lessons I’ve learned from five years with a beautiful, stubborn, sweet horse at my side. No matter how much you love something, it …
This year, while many Americans were getting ready to celebrate love on everyone’s favorite Hallmark holiday, Valentine’s Day, students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida were hiding under desks, barricading themselves in classrooms, and pleading for their lives.
