OMG, no time to blog. Enjoy this pony, he's the color and breed of Lancer!

Momentum

I don't think I wrote a post last week about the horse I fell in love with. His name is Lancer. He's a bay thoroughbred, not so big, the sweetest pet and fun as hell to ride. I love him. He gives me good love, too. He loves being scratched behind his ears, he's ticklish and when you poke and tease him he turns around to grab at you with his lips, ears perked forward and friendly.

Lancer lives next to what might be the oldest horse at the barn- a skinny old guy named Moses. Moses dozes (it rhymes!) with his head hanging out his stall, and I think he's even sometimes asleep with his eyes open. His eyes were gunky and I cleaned them out for him. I think he liked that. Anyhow, I got to ride Lancer AGAIN this week and I was so looking forward to it. I also had an epiphany about riding, which happens sometimes.

I used to ride on autopilot. Not only am I not as strong as I was when I was 15, 16, 17 years old, I also have to think about a lot of stuff I used to take for granted. I Amazoned George Morris' Hunter Seat Equitation because I need to read about some of the stuff I have a hard time making happen now. Brush up!

More momentum on the Kidzillions side. Totally happy with the progress. We met with Rudy again, which was great, and ran into a few other people who also had advice. Everyone's got advice. I want it all, but some folks really are opinionated.

Cold On The Inside, Hot On The Out

So the DreamIt offices were so freezing cold today that my team jumped ship for the Green Line cafe. Good for them. The coffee's better there (as is the internet, unfortunately!). I stayed at the office and think the cold made me work more quickly. I'm DEFINITELY more efficient now than I've been in ages, so I'm reluctant to change ANYTHING. I love doing what I'm doing. I said it before, but I really feel like these are creative juices that are flowing when things are happening- the team is so good, everyone's on target and I feel like thinking of the business in the big picture is fulfilling. Ha! Week three. It's only Monday of the third DreamIt week.

We've been organizing since Aprilish, though, and so even though it's only the third week of the program, we're jamming further in. I saw the new Star Trek movie last night and loved seeing these characters that are so iconic in my mind in a new place, with a new vibe. Contemporary, but not untrue to the people I "know". The casting was awesome, btw. But seeing these people as young and beautiful, getting their jam on, locking in to the brain sharing space that is required to do something like, oh, SAVE EARTH, confirmed the magic in the specific momentum we've got going. Heavy (handed)! If you don't know what I mean it's a sad thing. This type of energy can feed you. Again. Week three. What a goof.
