Happy new year to all of you who've so generously supported Mike and I at Keystone Equine in the past year! Without you, I honestly don't know how we would be carrying on today. True story.
My BMAC stats are showing that of the 875 on my email list, a whopping seven of you opened and read the last one, so I'll not put a whole lot of info into this. I just want you all to know that I am so grateful to what you've done, the sharing and discussing of my Keystone posts with your friends, of being there on the spicy days when I need some support... and of stepping up to purchase my latest book, LOVE & RULES.
The book winged its way around the world to your mailboxes after our huge pre-Christmas pre-order campaign. Sending one's words and innermost thoughts, for that is what LOVE & RULES is, it's really a dear diary of all the life lessons that horses have taught me... is not for the faint of heart! I always feel as though my stories are going into safe hands and loving hearts, however, and I know that I am truly fortunate.
Going forward, I am planning to speak at two women's conferences in the near future, including NEW YEAR, NEW YOU in High River, AB later this week and for the SASKATCHEWAN DEPT of AGRICULTURE's annual conference in Maple Creek, early February. I'm not a seasoned speaker, so I'm really stepping out of my comfort zone! Plans are underway to open a new online store, perhaps under the auspices of my daughter's website at www.cattlecait.com. We've a few new horses and ponies coming onto the training docket, characters you'll love getting to know over on Keystone, and they will one day be available for purchase, if all goes well. We learned last summer that 'man plans and God laughs', as the old saying goes, so I'm not going too all-in or gung-ho with plans, forecasts and mighty resolutions. Instead, I've picked my word--my mini-mantra--for 2023...
BALANCE. :May we not give up too much of one good thing, in order to find another. I wish balance and wellness to each and every one of you. Shown here, a memory with Mike, the dogs Glen and Pan, and our late, great family favourite Cody.
Happy New Year, everyone,
Lee at Keystone.
