    Life is What Happens to You While You’re Busy Making Other Plans

    September 28, 2015

    I had my week all planned out. It included a wonderful balance of self care, work, exercise, couple time, and relaxing with friends. The kind of week that I encourage everyone to create for themselves.

    ✨My horses & I help midlife women break free from people-pleasing and come home to their authentic selves.
    💡Discover your people-pleasing pattern ⬇️

    📣 Holiday Season Reminder: Your “Yes” Shoul 📣 Holiday Season Reminder: Your “Yes” Should Light You Up! ✨
 
Feeling overwhelmed by all the holiday party invites, gift exchanges, and family obligations? Remember: you’re allowed to protect your energy and honor your desires.
 
Being a people pleaser doesn’t have to be your default setting anymore. Try these gentle ways to say no:
 
“Let me check my schedule and get back to you”
“I appreciate you thinking of me, but I’m not able to commit right now”
“Thank you for the invitation, but that doesn’t work for me”
 
Your peace matters more than people-pleasing. This holiday season, give yourself the gift of boundaries. 🎁

    The holidays can be tricky for those of us who’v The holidays can be tricky for those of us who’ve spent years trying to keep the peace, make others happy, and avoid conflict at all costs. It’s so easy to slip into old patterns—saying “yes” when you mean “no,” staying quiet to avoid upsetting someone, or shrinking to keep the holiday “happy.”
 
But what if you chose one small way to honor your truth this Thanksgiving?
 
Maybe you:

* Take a moment to pause before answering when someone asks you to help with one more thing.
* Politely say no to a harmful or draining conversation, like this: “I’d rather not discuss this today. Let’s focus on enjoying the holiday.”
* Share a thought or feeling that you might usually keep to yourself.

Speaking your truth doesn’t have to be loud or confrontational. It can be as simple as letting yourself be seen in an authentic way.

This Thanksgiving, I encourage you to take one small step toward being unapologetically you. Your voice matters—at the dinner table, in your relationships, and everywhere else.
 
I wish you a joyful and authentic Thanksgiving! 🧡🦃🍂

    Poof! And just like that she stepped right into le Poof! And just like that she stepped right into lead mare!
    We were surprised that there was no drama between We were surprised that there was no drama between the horses when we opened the gate between the paddocks and let Fallan join the herd. They welcomed her right back into the fold.
    Fallan is here and is settling in well! She arrive Fallan is here and is settling in well! She arrived a little before 2:00 AM. We lead her to her stall and reintroduced her to the herd through her Dutch door. Since that went so well, we decided to feed everyone a middle of the night snack in their stalls overnight. 

Today we turned them all out with a fence between them so they could get reacquainted. It’s clear that they remember each other. We’re planning on keeping the fence between them until Sunday, then if it feels safe, we’ll open the gate and see how it goes. 

Bryan and I are bonding with her and we know without a doubt she remembers us…ALL. ❤️🙏🏼🐴🥰✨
    Crush’s girlfriend Fallan is on her way to live Crush’s girlfriend Fallan is on her way to live with us. She’s being transported from Texas and is scheduled to arrive here at 2:00 AM in the morning. We’re beyond excited to have her permanently join our herd. We boarded her for 3 years when we lived in Flower Mound and loved her dearly. She was a rockstar in our coaching sessions and I’m thrilled that she’ll be part of our healing herd. 

Thank you to Brandi Kuykendall for making the difficult decision to entrust Fallan to us. We know your heart is heavy and we are beyond grateful to you for agreeing to let her come be part of our herd. You can come visit her anytime you want. 💜

Brandi and I have both been anxious all day. The transportation process is stressful. The same company that transported our horses from Texas to Santa Fe are transporting Fallan, so I trust she’s in good hands. But, we’ll both breathe a huge sigh of relief when she finally arrives here safely in the middle of the night. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

We’ve got her stall ready for her and I can’t wait to see how the horses all respond when we reintroduce them. ❤️🐴🥰🎉

Join us on Wednesday evenings, July 17 - August 28, for Horses, Cowgirls, & Sunsets – a Wednesday night women’s circle designed to give you a mid-week recharge. Connect with your spirit, ignite your passion, and foster sisterhood connections while immersed in nature, horses, and awe-inspiring Santa Fe sunset views.

No horseback riding experience is necessary for our gatherings. Our equine companions will be by our side as gentle and intuitive guides, helping us to navigate our conversations and deepen our connections with ourselves and each other. Our sessions are designed to create a safe and supportive environment for everyone, whether you have previous experience with horses or this is your first time.

You are free to choose your level of participation in our circle – attend one, some, or all the sessions. Each gathering is a unique opportunity to unwind, make heart connections, and embark on a journey of self-discovery in the company of horses.

Horses are majestic, sentient beings that remind us of grace, intuition, and the power of the present moment.

Our circle isn’t just about horses – it’s about creating heart-centered connections with like-minded women who desire self-discovery and personal growth. In a safe and supportive container, your guide, Lyn Carpenter, will facilitate meaningful conversations and lead guided meditations to empower you to connect with your most whole, worthy, authentic self.

As the sun sets, you’ll be treated to breathtaking sunset views. Watch the vibrant colors paint the sky as you unwind, reflect, and celebrate the moments of stillness. The tranquil ambiance of our outdoor setting serves as the perfect backdrop for cultivating self-awareness, nurturing connections, and finding inspiration in the beauty of nature.

Your participation doesn’t just support your well-being but also the lives of horses. We will donate 100% of the proceeds from the circle on the last Wednesday of the month to The Horse Shelter, an organization dedicated to providing sanctuary and care to these incredible animals. 

Message me with any questions! 🤠🐴🌅🧡💛
    I had a wonderful conversation with @therealbunnyt I had a wonderful conversation with @therealbunnyterrysantafe Bunny on her  @ilovenewmexicoblog podcast about the coaching my horses and I do. 

I’d love for you to listen to it:  https://www.ilovenewmexicoblog.com/i-love-new-mexico-stories-lyn-carpenter/
    Love yourself so much that you choose yourself ove Love yourself so much that you choose yourself over and over again.

You are worthy of creating the beautiful life that you desire and to do so you must choose yourself again and again and again.

Do the things that make you happy and proud of yourself, and never let anything or anyone stop you from pursuing your passions. 🤠🐴❤️

    If you’ve spent much of your life people-pleasin If you’ve spent much of your life people-pleasing, you’ve been so outwardly focused on putting others’ needs above your own that you may not know what YOUR heart’s and soul’s desires are. 

Even the thought of taking responsibility for your happiness may be unsettling, but deep down you know that to continue people-pleasing is not sustainable...or desirable. 

Every moment is an opportunity to awaken to new possibilities. You can write a new story for yourself.

Know that you’re not broken and you can change paths any time you choose.

Cultivate the practice of sitting in stillness to hear the loving voice of your heart and soul. Place your hands on your heart and listen to the quiet wisdom of your soul. 

With each breath, surrender and let the old story go.

In this place of quiet surrender, you open space for your soul to write a beautiful new story. 

Yours can be a story of transformation, forgiveness, compassion, and understanding…or whatever nourishes your soul. 

I invite you to return to this nurturing practice whenever your people-pleasing patterns or habits return. 

You are worthy of creating and living a life that nourishes your soul. 💖✨💖
