While our everyday lives keeps us busy with our responsibilities…we are still realizing a feeling of non-fulfillment. “Why is that?” I can tell you!
Yes, we have accomplished a lot by taking care of our family, our home, and our-self. We know what all that care-taking means; we are tired, but totally validated. However, something is still missing. “Why is that?”
Are we really making a difference? “What’s missing here?” Is it when we go outside ourselves…that making a difference…truly takes place?
Doing something more than what is expected of us…like volunteering…at our schools, hospitals, libraries, or simply doing something to develop one’s own talent. “What could that be?”
“So, what’s missing for you?”
Here I am, living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming thinking, "What can I tell you about my life and my own experiences?" Having grown up in Houston, Texas, then moving to Dallas, where my children grew up. We were fortunate enough to have a second home in Jackson Hole. At 84 now, I am over-read on self-help information. Self-awareness and being, or becoming more aware of my own behavior, as it relates to myself and then to others, is where my thinking and doing takes me. I'm about moving forward, for acknowledging to addressing today's problems, and what we can do to make a difference. It's important! At this point, I am only the messenger, offering solutions to the current suicide and drug crisis among our young people, in today's world; with a pathway to follow. Check out my website: tamingthewildhorses.com Currently, I am working at The Historic Wort Hotel's gift shop. Also, volunteer at our Senior Center. I enjoy being at home, cooking, having a garden (a good thinking and writing place), being with friends exploring the landscape, (which is amazing in Jackson Hole) and checking out our thrift stores. In just a couple of weeks, I'll be driving to Denver to be grandma to my teenage granddaughters for a month. In October, I'll be in Houston for a book-signing event for, "Taming the Wild Horses. Then back to my regular routine here in Jackson Hole. "Happy Trails Everyone!" B. Louise Bayer/Martens
