New Year 2012
January 3, 2012
Happy New Year! My new year’s gift to myself is that my horse is coming home! She will be here Friday, the 6th. I am busy altering the barn to get ready for her arrival. I also have been super busy because I have lots of new clients! I am so happy at how my business is going and how my life just improves every single day. To say that I am blessed is an understatement, I am humbled, awed, and amazed at the blessings of each day that have been gifted to me. Thank you Lord!

New horse!
November 22, 2011
So I had to rescue Rubie, or She’s Rainbow. She was at an auction house in New Jersey, and didn’t sell in the regular sale, she was scheduled to be open for the kill buyers to buy her and send her to slaughter. I couldn’t let that happen so I appealed to all my Facebook friends for any help to get this mare. I am happy to say that old and new friends came forward with shipping away from the auction, help to buy this mare, and shipping and a month long stay at a quarantine barn in Pennsylvania. In the middle of December, my new mare will be headed here to me, her final and permanant home. Now, all I need is a new name!
Sunset Rainbow
Lunar Rainbow

Red Velvet Rainbow
Redbud Rainbow
and whatever others I can think of!

September 11
September 7, 2011
It is close to the 10th aniversary of September 11, the day that a lot of us, as Americans, lost our feeling of safety, our feeling of removal from the terrorism that rules many parts of the world. The all out attack on our soil is indeliably printed on many of our minds. But, we can’t let it scare us, or make us stop being and living as PROUD AMERICANS. We all need to stand up every day, not just on 9-11, and say, “I am proud to be an American!” The 3D Palette supports our troops, our Country, and is proudly owned and worked right here in the Southern Heartland. I support all businesses that are PROUD to be Americans!

A mom
July 18, 2011
A mother does not laugh when she gets away with murder. A mother does not party while her child lays rotting in a jungle. A mother doesn’t wait 31 days to report her child is missing. A mother doesn’t lie and obstruct officials looking for her child. Are you a mother? Then hug your child and love them today, teach them right, teach them to have a conscience, teach them right from wrong. It starts with us, the moms, the dads, we need to stand up and teach our children right!

Goal
June 11, 2011
So, I am in the middle of trying to train my 2 year old mare to accept all those things that make a good adult horse. My goal is to actually mount her this summer, although of course she is so young that the only thing I will be doing is getting on, walking around a few steps, and getting off. Serious riding doesn’t start until after she is 3. Or at least it shouldn’t unless you want a broke down horse by the time they are 10. I want Bella to be sound as possible her whole life, so she is allowed as much time as she wants to just be a horse, she spends no time in a stall, as I feel this is not healthy. Bella has fabulous movement, I would hope that in the future we can go to dressage shows and have a great life together!

I have 3 new websites
June 8, 2011
I have just taken on 3 new websites. I can’t wait to unveil them. A big shout out to all my clients, many of whom are now friends. I love doing sites and helping people with their businesses! My sites are now generating actual cash for clients! Have a product and want to sell it online? I can help!

Dogs
June 1, 2011
So, right now we have 7 dogs: 3 beagley types, 1 pit bully type, 1 beagley relative dog that belongs to my mother, and 2 great pyrennes that we got to guard the goats that will be here in 2 weeks. Too many dogs as the relative dog and the pit bully dog can’t be out together, and is trying to start fights with the Pyrs. Hopefully, in a few days, the one dog will go home, the pit will learn to get along, and all will be quiet again.

Barn Rules
May 27, 2011
1. I am human. You are horse. What I say goes. Please
take that into consideration when you are standing on
my foot.
2. Spilled grain is not “fair game”, especially when
it is spilled in another horse’s stall. It still
belongs to that particular horse. You have no reason
to go in and eat it.
3. Poop does not need to be hidden. I clean your stall
every day. I will find it. Do not hide it.
4. I do not need your help when I clean the barn, nor
do I need your supervision, or even your presence. I
have been cleaning the barn and stalls ever since you
lived here. I know what I am doing. Standing at the
door staring at me, will not make me clean faster.
5. There is no need to go into the barn and help
yourself to the feed. Meals are given at specific
times of the day. There is a feed schedule. You know
the schedule. I know you know the schedule. You know
that I know that you know the schedule.
6. Water buckets are not toys. Neither is the gate,
pitchfork, wheel barrow, whatever is in the wheel
barrow, fence, or the occasional dog.
7. The wheel barrow is there for a reason. Please do
not try to move it while I am cleaning your stall.
8. Just because I go into the barn doesn’t mean you
automatically get food. There is other stuff in the
barn. Stuff you don’t want. Like wormer and fly spray.
9. Sheath cleaning will NOT be enjoyed…by anyone.
10. Water travels through the hose. If you are
thirsty, do not stand on the hose. The water buckets
will fill much faster.
11. Not everything has to be high drama. None of the
following things will kill you: fly spray, plastic
bags, balloons, hoses, chipmunks and other small
rodents, or bright blue tarps.
12. Although I understand the need for you to go to
the bathroom, it is not necessary to hold it in all
day until the moment I finish cleaning your stall and
put away the wheel barrow.
13. Accidents happen. However, I’m not altogether sure
you’re not trying to kill yourself. Next time you
decide to impale yourself on some sort of object,
please try to do it when it’s not hailing, midnight,
the weekend, or Christmas.
14. While I appreciate your need to be clean, pooping
in your water bucket does not make my job easier, and
it deprives you of water. Please find a new spot.
15. Whinnying as loudly as you can in my face does not
make me feed you any faster.
