Being a Mom is not an easy job. You want to do the best thing for your children while also worrying about their safety and their ultimate happiness. Living in a place like Silicon Valley can be very demanding in many ways and has a very fast pace. Children, early on, are pushed into many activities and camps and schools because it's a very competitive environment.
One of my main goals and challenges is to raise a grounded and well rounded little person and hopefully spare her from some of the pitfalls that I went through as a shy but attractive blonde...like she appears to be also.
So one day she decided she wanted to do horse riding and I got a big pit in in my stomach. But I conceded and found a wonderful barn for her to ride and...as luck has it she loves it. Not only does she love it but her self confidence has grown with leaps and bounds and she can't wait every week to ride. So my trepidation luckily turned into joy seeing a little person bond with this huge animal and come out happier and wiser for it.
Jumping...? Maybe not. But learning to take care of an animal and communicate with it is a precious gift and talent.
