Funny how doors open when you find your path and throw everything you’ve got into living your purpose.
Several weeks before Christmas, an introduction from the editor of Fifty+SA landed in my inbox, a print magazine celebrating life and stories inspiring those in the 50+ community across South Australia. “Your story is so unique and heartfelt, we’d love to feature Walking with Horses in Nature™️ in our February issue”. Would I like to respond to a set of questions and perhaps a short phone interview?
A sliding doors moment, for instead I chose to send an invitation back for the editor to invite a friend and join us for a session in the forest.
History in the making: Not only our first feature article in real world print media, but a professionally written firsthand account peeling back the layers of a walksublime. Beautifully conveying the depth of understanding possible between horses and humans, with a little bit of support and know-how.
