I was named a finalist by American Horse Publications for my story, “Finding Safe Harbor”, about eventing a pony (pictured here), published in Horse Illustrated May 2012.
I have a slew of recent horse show ribbons hanging on my wall. Yes, my office has the design aesthetic of a horse-crazy 12-year-old.
Today is my 25th wedding anniversary. [last year]
I’m feeling pretty slick today.
[Not that I’m the least bit superstitious – touch wood – but I did worry that recounting all this good fortune would be taunting the universe. However, I prefer to see it as narratively balancing all the whining I did last year and am sure to do in the future.]

Happy anniversary! And yeah, it’s good to let loose on the good stuff… stops us all turning into Moaning Minnies on our blogs
Mazel tov, especially for remembering your anniversary. And pray tell, did you get paid for that HI article for which you are on the precipice of being honoured?
Best wishes for a long happy life together.
Or, live long and continue to prosper! How about a photo op of your ribbon collection?
Can’t find the pic of Priney. ?
many congrats on your wedding anniversary, and best wishes for many more happy years together.
The “here” should link to your guest post that has a picture from our dressage test.
got it, thanks! still a bit ticked that they didn’t use a pic of Priney
Happy Anniversary!! And congrats on recounting good things. I think that it’s a good thing to reflect and share the positive in life and that it helps you continue to move in that direction 🙂 So here’s to more good things in your life!
Congratulations all ’round! 🙂 and Happy Anniversary! I must say you’ve made me want to show horses again – I’ve totally enjoyed your show posts!!! Maybe next summer!
