Do you ever get butterflies in your belly? (Video below)

Riding ~ Nature ~ Business & Dreams!

Have you ever woken up with that feeling of  butterflies in your belly?

Where you feel excited about a project, or an idea, or an adventure you’re heading out on, and then all of a sudden an little fear sneaks in there too?

To-day was that day for me.  

It was time to put into action my idea to ride up the mountain behind my house.   I have been wanting to do this since we got the horses 2 years ago, and to-day was the day.

It may sound simple,  but … I had some things I was a bit concerned about.

  1. I really didn’t know the trail up there,
  2. I hadn’t asked the neighbor if we could pass through his yard to get to the trail,
  3. And most importantly … I know there are black bears, grizzly  bears and cougars who live on that mountain, and generally, horses don’t really care for being around predators, and I was highly aware of that! 😉

What this really meant is that I would need to TRUST my horses, trust riding in this new backcountry, and trust myself too.  

Funny thing is, 15 years ago I didn’t  have that concern or fear.  Time is a funny thing.

Has that ever happened to you?  Something you used to do without abandon, now requires a little more oomph!

It reminded me of how easy it looks to be living your dream, and yet, to live your dream, requires moving beyond your comfort zone. 

One of the criteria is it requires Courage!
And there is no Doubt about that!

So off I went and I wanted to bring you along so I created  a  spontaneous video to share with you! 

You will experience the beautiful sights of nature, a forested trail, the sounds of nature and  of course, the horse energy. 

Come join me for a few minutes and feel the peace and calm that nature brings you to-day.

After the ride, I realized AHA … my girlfriend and I talked and shared what had occurred for us in the past week, we discussed our businesses and the new opportunities that were being presented, we smelled the cedar trees and swatted flies, and we did something that I had on my bucket list!  

All of that in one setting  ~ Blessings always follow courageous action?

One of the bonus blessings was creating this blog and video for you.

Next I will be riding this with my son.  He was the one that wanted to “ride up the mountain”, and now that I know the way, I feel more confident to go with him.

I wonder what you are being asked to do that is sending butterflies in your belly , that requires that courage to step onto your path and take it the next level?

Whether it’s personal or business, nature always has something to offer us.

EnJoy and see you again soon.
