Love isn't just a feeling
This quote feels like something my nervous system understands.
There have been seasons in my life when everything felt uncertain… when grief, change, or old patterns rose up and tried to pull me away from myself.
And in those moments, I’ve learned something simple and sacred:
Love isn’t just a feeling.
Love is a place I can “return…

The New Dawn
“The new dawn blooms as we free it…” — and every time I read that line, I feel it land in my body like a quiet yes.
Because freedom isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s a soft release.
A deep exhale.
A moment where I stop arguing with my own becoming.I’ve learned that the light doesn’t always arrive as a miracle.
Often, it arrives as a choice:

The First Step
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the journey… it’s the “first step”.
Not because you don’t want change.
Not because you don’t care.
But because your nervous system has learned to equate “new” with “unsafe.”So you overthink.
You wait for clarity.
You tell yourself you’ll start when you feel more confident, more ready, more certain.

Anything can be!
When I look at my youngest granddaughter, I’m reminded how naturally children live in possibility.
She doesn’t wake up thinking, “Is this too much?”
Or, “Will I be judged?”
Or, “What if I fail?”She wakes up and simply… does her best.
Climbs. Wonders. Asks. Laughs. Begins again.And honestly, that little smile is medicine—because somewhere along…

Special moments
One year for my birthday, my son Chris gave me a gift I still feel in my body when I think about it.
He didn’t hand me a bag or a box.
He said, “Mom, I’m taking you out on the boat.”Just the two of us.
Chris packed a simple picnic—nothing fancy, just the kind of food that tastes better because you’re eating it outside. The lake was calm, the air…

HOPE
This photo of me with my oldest and youngest sons holds so much more than a moment—it holds a whole “story.”
There were years when I carried hope like something fragile. Like a candle I had to protect from the wind of life… the hard seasons, the worries, the places where things didn’t go the way I thought they would.
And then there are moments…

This is beautiful.✨
Thank you, Gloria!🙏❤️🐴

Love is a practice
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” —Martin Luther King Jr.
When I read these words, I don’t just think of history—I think of “everyday life”.
The hard conversations.
The family tension.
The comments that sting.
The moments when my nervous system wants to go into fight,…

I love trail rides...
There’s something about a trail ride with good friends that feels like therapy… without a single word needing to be said.
This day, it was me, Ruth, and Kelly—wide-open country, steady horses, dust rising behind us, and that quiet rhythm under the saddle that helps my whole nervous system remember: Oh… this is what “okay” feels like.
As we rode,…

Love this question!!
The people who help me come home to myself are my cherished, likeminded soul family.♥️
I also feel deeply connected to individuals on their own spiritual journeys and find peace, purpose and friendship within the two spiritual communities to which I belong.✨
Thank you for this…

Slow everything down...
A few summers ago at the Sanctuary, I was squatting down beside my baby granddaughter, introducing her to one of my favorite residents… my cat “Bella”.
There was nothing big or dramatic about the moment—just warm sun, a little garden path, and Bella strolling up like she was doing “her” daily rounds. My granddaughter watched her with that…

Thank you so much for another heartwarming post, Gloria!🙏
I have a beloved family member who is autistic and could benefit greatly from equine therapy and nervous system regulation.
May I ask if you hold retreats and, if so, where is your Sanctuary? How many horses do you have there?
Thank you, Gloria!❤️🐴🐴

Soaked In Joy!
A few summers ago, we were at a water park—and I took my favorite role:
“the dry witness to splash-pad joy.”
I didn’t jump into the wetness (not even a little)… but I “did” plant myself close enough to see everything—his hair dripping, his braces flashing in the sun, that huge grin that kept growing every time the water blasted up and…

Do Your Thing
A few summers back, my husband and I climbed into the car with no big agenda—just a full tank, an open road, and that familiar feeling of “Let’s go see where the day takes us.”
Windows cracked. Warm air rushing in. A playlist half-chosen and half-improvised. The sun starting to dip just enough to turn everything gold.
Somewhere between our…

I am always filled with gratitude and perspective when I see your posts. You radiate joy, hope and positivity, Gloria, and this community wouldn’t be the same without your inspiring contributions.✨
Thank you again for a heartfelt post, Gloria!🙏♥️

Some love is worth fighting for
Over three years ago I boarded a plane to Alaska to see my baby girl… and her baby girl in the fullness of everyday life.
I still remember the moment we gathered together.
My daughter’s smile first—warm, familiar, home.
And then those wide little eyes looking up at me like I was something fascinating and brand new. One tiny hand, one curious…

When the world feels loud
Some mornings at the Sanctuary, the world feels a little too loud.
The kind of loud that isn’t just outside noise… but the “heat” of everything people are carrying—opinions, pressure, pain, fear, anger. I’ll catch myself tightening without even realizing it, like my body is bracing for impact.
And then there’s Jasmine.
My smallest mini. My tiniest…

This is a gorgeous post, thank you, Gloria (and Jasmine)!🙏❤️🐴

Happy New Year!
As I stand here with one of the Healing Herd, I’m thinking about how many chapters we’ve all lived through to arrive right here at the threshold of 2026. Some were beautiful, some were heartbreaking, and many were a mix of both.
What I love about a new year is the gentle reminder that we are invited to begin again. The calendar turns, and with…

Yes, let’s walk into this chapter together!🙏
Happy New Year, Gloria!♥️🐴

Honoring our own limits
I remember the day this photo was taken—because it was the day Aragon helped my client “feel” her boundaries for the first time.
She came into the session exhausted. On the outside, she was “doing it all”—showing up for work, family, friends, church. On the inside, she felt invisible and resentful, like everyone else’s needs mattered more than…
