Thats what you get for waking up in Vegas....
No I didn't wake up in Vegas, but I think I need to give it a try, hopefully sooner rather than later!! I want to thank everyone for the nice comments and I was just in a bit of a funk earlier, but feeling much better now. Too often I let others in turmoil drag me into their own personal hell and being a Libra I do all that I can to make it right. Not that's a bad quality to have, but if it effects how I function its simply unhealthy. For the most part I have a very balanced group of friends that have stood the test of time. Occasionally a new friendship is just not what I need. I have recognized my reality and and really very pleased. I did a bit of purging and now I feel as if the we

I need an instruction manual
OK so sometimes I can be the DUMBEST smart person I know!! My life is all brand new right now and I am not 100% sure on how or what I am supposed to do with it!! To often I let life live me instead of the other way around. I am slowly getting grip on things and learning to be Jewel.

At some point I am going to need to back it down just a bit!! This week has been filled with getting my little condo really turned into my place, not Jewels Flop House. I guess one would call the new Decorating style Bordello Barbie. I don't think that Martha has done an episode on that particular style yet. My personal tastes run to the very masculine side of French. No light blue, but rather deep reds, rich fabrics with gold and black accents. I am close to having the living room, dining room and guest bath done. I need to keep working at it but

Hell bent for leather!
I had an awesome ride tonight. That ride where you actually get to feel some of the satisfaction of what you have been working for. That moment where you can actually execute the theory you have been working on for 2 plus years. Its rides like tonight that keep my love affair with dressage going. I don't have the words to explain the feeling but I know you have all had it at sometime, where you go WOW this is really it! Tonight was more work on changing the stride with just the seat, and gaining that full range of motion with you pelvis just didn't come easily to me. Tonight however it all really came together and I felt that moment when it really is easier to ride correctly. The weeni
