Preventing Car Crashes by Driving Safely – A Perspective

by | May 9, 2024 | General Blog

Driving is the most dangerous thing that people do everyday. Safe driving can be the easiest smartest decision made on a daily basis. It can prevent tragedy. George Carlin said, “Have you ever noticed anyone driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a manic?” Egocentric driving puts lives at risk.

Extreme Weather Horse Care Successes

by | Oct 27, 2023 | General Blog

Winters can be brutal in Texas. The 2021 blizzard claimed 250 lives and left 4 million people without power for days in subfreezing temperatures. The 2023 ice storm downed power lines – leaving 350,000 people without power. Both the blizzard and the ice storm have acid-tested my extreme horse care methods for keeping my old horses healthy and as comfortable as possible.

What do I do? Focus on hydration, feed, blanketing and escape from the elements. Of course, always consult your vet. My methods may not work for everyone. I’m not a veterinarian, but excellent veterinarians, in three states over the course of 40 years, have educated me about how to properly manage my beloved horses.

Defying Long Shot Odds

Persevere along an uphill climb, on a slow downhill descent, through vast valleys, through dry, hot, windy deserts, the splashy ocean surf and grassy meadows. Defy long shot odds when dreaming! Dream big! This mantra has worked for me. It all began with horses. Horses first galloped into my life when I watched western movies with my Dad. Mom noticed my eyes sparkle when I talked about horses.

Why Plenty? Fifty Shades & A Mother’s Request

by | Nov 28, 2022 | General Blog

Two events led to the creation of Plenty, my second Suspense novel.  First – the success of Fifty Shades of Grey. Feminist fury lit the fire. As Rich Lowry of the New York Post wrote: “…“Fifty Shades” is a version of the age-old Boy Meets Girl story, except the Boy is a dangerous creep…” https://nypost.com/2015/02/16/50-shades-an-anti-feminist-juggernaut/ I had to call out this trilogy for what it represents: sugarcoated sadism. A young virgin for a rich sadist love story with a Happily Ever Ending. Yuck! Really?
