The Movie Buck
In 2011 we watched the movie Buck “a powerful movie explaining the importance of training a human to train the equine (horse, donkey or mule) in a natural way without physical abuse.” This movie clearly explains how the horse is one hundred percent a reflection of their trainer and or owner. The movie helps to explain the difference between natural training and breaking a horse.
We must never forget that a human who will torture a child, animal, woman or man must be stopped! Please if you see abuse have the courage to be bold and stop this abuse as each of us can be the angel GOD sent to remove the pain and suffering of another. Never forget we live in a fallen world, good and evil, black and white.
The domesticated horse, donkey or mule is truly the mirror of the emotional intelligence and training ability of their human who owns and trains them.
I highly suggest the movie Buck, I believe each of us can learn how to have empathy if we want to learn and most importantly we can influence others by helping make this world a better place for humans and animals.
We must never forget what it would be like to have a person forcing us to do something with pain and suffering as motivation with the big whammy the person speaks in a foreign language, how very sad. Please be an angel when you see abuse, be bold, step up and make a difference to stop abuse of any kind for humans and animals.
Empathy is truly needed in our world for how we treat others starts within ourselves, just because we were abused is no reason to continue the horrific abuse cycle. Melody Johnson, Donkey Whisperer
If you know a living human or animal being abused please step in and do your best to stop the abuse and be a human angel.
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Staying Grateful
Life seems to have a way of reminding us of the bad things more than the good when we are living in the middle of the storm in our life. Seems to me this is the time it appears nothing is alive and growing, we must remember “GOD has planted each one of his children to be a light in a dark world.”
This video is really a wonderful way to stop and smell the roses in our life, take a moment to thank GOD for all of our blessings. Being able to see, walk without pain, sleep, smell, be healthy is indeed a blessing.
Select staying grateful – Enjoy!
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

The Trauma Is Gone – Now What?
What happens after trauma settles and things calm down?
We try to keep our life the way it was before the trauma hit as well this is much more comfortable for most of us humans than trying something new. All the while GOD is giving us a little nudge to be brave and step into our new life; the key is being flexible sometimes letting go of our homes, career, dreams and education to pursue a completely new life, a life GOD has created just for us full of dreams, presents and surprises way beyond our human brains ability. GOD is able to do miracles, healing, create new jobs, save a marriage, heal a family. Just like nature has seasons I believe life has seasons nothing stays the same. I have learned to Trust GOD for all seasons of life as GOD is the great I am, the beginning and the end he knows what is best for his children.
We must remember to not stay in the past look at what GOD makes new every day, remember GOD placed our eyes facing ahead not behind us. Hang on to the great memories and live in the moment, stay grateful, have a good attitude and never ever fall into the trap that this is it GOD can do no more.
Today may be your day, keep trusting GOD to help you and your family as he Loves you.
Prayer For Help
I leave my troubles with the Lord, and He will defend me, He never let’s honest people be defeated. PSLAM 55-22 (GNT)
The Lord my God holds my right hand, he is the Lord, who says Fear Not I Will Help You! ISAIAH 41:13 (GNT)
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Faith and Prayer
Welcome,
I pray that you find GOD in Jesus Christ precious name without having to suffer from trauma, pain, loss, fear, cancer, death of a loved one or any other destructive measure in your life. I pray that you start looking for Jesus while your life is happy and calm as a way to have Jesus be your best friend and provide you with the wisdom and armor needed to navigate your life. Most people don’t look for GOD until they have personally exhausted all their options and these options did not change the circumstance. Then they say I guess I will give GOD a try or You Have A direct Line To GOD Will You Pray For Me.
The wonderful thing about living in the world today compared to living when Moses was leading the people is each of us has access to the power of Jesus Christ. Each of us can go directly to GOD, GOD loves all his children, he is waiting for each of his children to come home.
What Can I Do To Get Faith In My Life?
Faith comes from listening to this message of good news – The Good News About Jesus Christ Romans 10-17 (NLT)
The bible is clear the minute we pray in Jesus Christ name GOD harkens the angels to go to battle on the spiritual warfare we all live in today. Perhaps the results of our prayer will not be seen before we leave our physical body’s but I believe when we live our life with a purpose our legacy changes the course of our life forever.
Walking with GOD is easier than walking without GOD in my life. So many things just can’t be figured out in this world in fact I have many questions when I get to heaven like I’m sure most people do. The bible is clear GOD is not to be questioned or put to the test. We must humbly submit our life to Jesus and pray he guides us along the walk of our life.
What does faith mean to me? Faith is a sense of peace, calm, ability to know I am being taken care of in this most difficult world as a child of Jesus Christ.
Faith is trusting GOD for all things and never worrying that GOD will not show up as the bible states over and over again that GOD will never-never never leave or forsake his children. Suffering with pain and trauma is a huge test of faith as the world we live in today expects everything to be fast service. GOD is not on our schedule he is on GOD’s schedule. Joyce Meyer teaches fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
Prayer in Jesus Christ precious name is a personal matter, it’s a relationship between me and GOD and for this relationship I am grateful. Prayer does not need to be complicated as GOD already knows what we need as he created us, the bible is clear we must believe as much as a mustard seed and we must ask GOD to help us.

Life Is Not Fair
Howdy,
Just read this article from Stacy Westfall after she had to say goodbye to another beautiful horse so sad here is the link to her story “Life Is Not Fair.” Sending the prayer of peace and joy to Stacy and her family during this most difficult time as she just lost another horse five months ago.
Everyone has a story of why life is not fair, the serenity prayer helps. The key to happiness and enjoying our life is to be flexible, mourn, grieve and move on do not let the negativity and sorrows of loss consume and destroy your life.
Perhaps you are wondering why or how I can say I am a follower of Jesus Christ? Life is just too hard to do on my own, I can’t take one step without Jesus I am just not smart enough to navigate all the negativity, pain and suffering of this world without Jesus and believing the healing words of the bible.
Me riding my horse Lily right before the semi truck accident 2010, after praying for a horse thirty four years, most people would have just given up on this dream. Here is a fact; I had to lose a very important career of twenty three years in order to get the door to open to my child dream of owning my horse again and training. A dream I had as a kid playing and working with the horses and animals.
GOD provided a bonus thru all the pain and suffering of career loss, identity loss, financial loss, GOD provided me with my best friend Scott and my husband and GOD added Donkeys into my life! Today my husband and I own the Donkey Whisperer Farm. GOD is amazing!
Enjoy every moment; hour and day as you will never ever be in this exact place again our lives are indeed fragile and precious. Never ever give up as it is written in the bible we are the head and not the tale in this world we are children of Jesus Christ we have royal blood in our veins. Never give up!
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Being A Friend When Trauma Hits
Howdy,
Reading blogs this week I am seeing the same question over and over – Being A Friend When Trauma Hits, What Can I Do?
Most important thing you can do for your friend or loved one is never go away no matter what happens. Remember they’re crying and emotional state is not reflected on you directly it is the pain, sleep deprivation and loss the human friend is experiencing and trying to process.
No matter how upset the trauma causes your loved one or friend to act, remember to not take it personal it is not about you. Humans are direct line thinkers and we take things so darn personally we have to learn how to have emotional control and empathy for others.
Continue to come over and see the person who has suffered from trauma, bring lunch, and just hug them. If you were friends as a couple do your best to continue being friends as a couple this will take some creativity on your part but well worth saving the friendship if it is worth it. We are indeed grateful for our friends that deemed us important enough to not walk away and walked thru the pain, suffering and loss with us; yes when you make the decision to stay with your friend or loved one you will feel the pain they are feeling and the loss but you will also be part of GOD’s plan to heal and change the victim and you into a much deeper human being.
After the semi truck accident we had so very much support from everywhere it seemed but after a couple of months people just disappeared and the worst part was deep connections (friends) just drifted away. They are no longer our friends but will forever remain loved and prayed for by us.
What can I do to help my friend or loved one suffering from trauma (cancer, car accident, disability, pain, depression, death, drugs, alcohol) and much more?
Stay connected to them it is normal to withdrawal and isolate one’s self when suffering from pain and trauma try to find a pain doctor, sleep doctor and counselor for your friend. Counseling is a wonderful way to sort out how to move forward after trauma strikes as so much changes in the victims life. I need to write “I do not like the word victim”, this is the correct word when riding as a passenger and getting struck with a semi truck leaving me with large screws in my pelvis for life, chronic pain, a life long disability. What I choose do with the trauma that I have survived can change me from a victim to a victor. I work very hard to stay in the victor role with the help of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, my husband and best friend and a very small handful of close intimate friends.
To my husband and close friends I am forever grateful as they never stopped believing GOD could change this trauma in a blessing they never stopped believing in me and their strength became the wind beneath my wings and brought many smiles to my face.
Things that helped me:
Blogging on the Donkey Whisperer Farm as connecting with people who I have become close friends with via the internet has been very helpful. People have sent me prayers and encouragement from all over the world and for these readers I am indeed grateful. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for me and takes the time to read and write a comment on my blog, this really has helped me with the isolation.
Thank you to all the Word Press readers who have touched my life and others via blogging!
As a victim of trauma I believe I can describe what I most appreciated from my friends most of them are still near me but a few were burnt off from the flames of trauma. I most appreciated prayer (I could hear or read),visits, hugs, e-mails, phone calls and for my friends to take the time to stay connected to me and my husband. I most appreciated my friends speaking faith into me telling me I would get better and I would survive, telling me how very important I am to them. We went thru almost two years of never being able to go out to dinner, not being able to go to the movies, not being able to go shopping. The simple things in life became the most difficult for me with the pain.
Remember you could be next, you could be the victim of cancer, a life threatening car accident, depression, death, family stuff out of your control as non of us are protected from the pain and suffering of this world 100%. We live in a fallen world and I believe GOD is still on the throne and still in control. I believe GOD uses each of his human angles to help another living human and animal not only survive life but thrive.
Here is one of my most favorite personal prayers:
Abba (Father GOD)
Thank you for the angels available to help us, as they harken to the voice of GOD’s word (from the bible).
In Jesus Christ Precious name Amen.
Send me you thoughts and questions on living thru trauma as a loved one or friend, I am happy to help and I will pray for you if you would like.
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
