Brian, Brenda and Lucy

Just a friendly reminder to continue working on the New Year’s resolutions that we set for ourselves.
As the days go by, we tend to let our focus slip from our grip.
Lucy is here to show you that when you slip, you are to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and
start all over again. We like to add that it helps if you contact your friends for help and accountability.

DISCLAIMER!!!  LUCY was not hurt during the filming of this video; she is an avid horse rider and we cannot keep her off of Brenda’s back!

This Little Light of Mine

Brenda Lee sees Our Light,

And her Team has created a special video to celebrate

The light within all of us. 

♪ This little Light of Mine ♫

♪ I’m gonna let it shine ♫

♪ Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine ♫

(as the song goes…)

At this time of the year when the darkness comes early for all of us in the Northern Hemisphere;

When wars rage on without an end.

When the planet is being threatened from our own existence,

When the global economy is in a tailspin.

Where can we find the light to disperse the darkness all around us?

Where can we find the light to show the way?

Where can we find the light to make the flowers grow in our hearts?

♪Look inside♫   (your heart)

♪Look beside♫   (at the light in others)

♪Open wide♫     (the curtains behind which you hide)

Step out into the light that is all around you

And within you.

There is nothing to do, nothing to force.

All that you are already exists.

All that you want awaits your desire.

Brenda Watches for and Sees only your light.

She wants nothing more for us than to step back for a moment and

Allow the light,

Allow the energy,

Allow the vibration that you are,

To Be.

Marianne Williamson quoted in her book  A Return to Love,:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’  Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

 If allowed our light will dissolve our fear of it. 

Ken Mallory, a friend of Brian’s

And a teacher of “A Course in Miracles”

Sent Brian this email one morning:

Question: Jesus asks you, “If you have denied truth, what better witnesses
to its reality could you have than those who have been healed by it?”

Brian’s answer:

♪This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine♫
♪and you, please do so for me, so that I may see, and see, and see. 

So from all of us at “Horses Know The Home,” sit back, enjoy and “Feel the Connection” to our  Light and in so doing Express your unique light so that we all may see.

The Four Agreements Book Review
By Brenda Lee (Horse, Shire, Mare) and Brian Reid(Human)

Part One of Four

Brenda: Hey Brian, have you read

“The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz?

Brian: Yes I have, why do you ask?

Brenda: This MAN is right on. If I may, I would like to add some HORSE SENSE to these Agreements and show how Humans can get their Freedom from self imposed pressures, Now!” and get on the path to what they truly desire!

In 1997 Don Miguel Ruiz released the book:

“The Four Agreements” a Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

1. Be Impeccable with your word

2. Don’t take things personally

3. Don’t make Assumptions

4. Always do your best

Brian: O.K. Let’s here it!

Brenda: Let’s start with the first agreement,

Be Impeccable with Your Word.

I have two words for the Word in that agreement

1) Body

2) Language.

Do you know that body language is primarily how I communicate?

Brian: Hmmm Interesting! Do you know that we use body language to communicate our truth most accurately also.

Brenda: Yes I do, but most of the time, most of the humans, use Body Language inaccurately, and you use your words and tonality to hide what you are truly feeling. In doing so you hide your truth from yourself and are lost in the confusion. I see what is going inside of you, as soon as I see your State.

Brian: My State?

Brenda: Yes, your state is your body’s representation of your thoughts, feelings and intentions all mixed into one communication…Body Language. The question is whether the State you are in is serving you. There are two states I am concerned with.

1) The state you are in. Your current reality!

2) The state you want to be in. The reality you ultimately wish to create!

Brian: Wow that’s good, really good!

Brenda: Yeah I know, that is what happens when you don’t have the drama of your life’s story clouding your view in this moment!

Brian: Whoa, I think that may be even better!

Brenda: Keep listening, this clarity is all I know, when you live your truth without judgment it can be very clear.

Brian: Whoa another one?! You are a good teacher!

Brenda: Yes, and let’s get back to your State.

Brian: Right, O.K. I think I should be writing this down!

Brenda: Uh Hmmm!

Brian: State…got it ..go on.

Brenda: If you wanted to go surfing which state would you like to be in Hawaii or Colorado?

Brian: Hawaii of course

Brenda: And if you wanted to go Skiing?

Brian: Duhhh!

Brenda: Now you are getting it, but easy on the sarcasm, unless that is the state you want to be in.

Brian: Lets see if I get it, if I’m sarcastic or not is not the point. The point is, if I am in a sarcastic state, to see it without judgment because that is my current reality and then choose what reality I want create and then the state that serves.

Brenda: Neighhhhhh!

Brian: No?

Brenda: Yes…, in horse words neigghhh! means yes.

Brian: When you mentioned my sarcasm, my state became shame about my sarcasm, and after that I kind of stopped listening and was more concerned with my feelings about my sarcasm.

Brenda: This is why we believe that Don Migel put the word impeccable in the first agreement.

Brian: I am so ready for what you have to say next , because while I agree with the statement “ Be Impeccable with your word”, I wasn’t sure what Impeccable meant.

Brenda: Here is a definition of the word Impeccable from your book of words The Merriam Webster Dictionary, I like Merriam , she breaks down your words to show their true intentions and I’m all for that.

Etymology: Latin impeccabilis, from in- + peccare to sin

Date:1531

1) not capable of sinning or liable to sin

2 ) free from fault or blame : FLAWLESS

Brenda: It is the way I live and your way to personal freedom.

Brian: I don’t understand!

Brenda: Can you see that your shame blinded, you may even say it bound you to your sarcasm?

Brian: Yes.

Brenda: Well, there is where you lost your freedom. Your judgment of yourself imprisoned you.

Brian: Go on…

Brenda: If you could be Impeccable with Your Word…not capable of sinning, or free from fault or blame, you would be free to see where you are, (right here, right now),

and from that place and time, free of judgment, you could see clearly what your current state is and whether it is serving the intention or desire you ultimately wish to create.

Brian: Huhhh?

Brenda: You could see that you are in Colorado thinking you are in Hawaii trying to catch a Wave.

Brian: So what you are saying is, if I’m in Colorado be in Colorado, and if I want to be surfing, be with the desire of surfing, and hold Hawaii in my mind. Just Be OK with all of it.

Brian: Did you here that guys?

Brenda: My only wish for you (Humans) is:

1) That your state and your intentions be in line

2). That you are aware of the state you are in .

3) That your are aware of your intentions

4) That the state you are in serves your intentions.

Think about it!”

Brian: Thank you so much. I would like you to come body surfing with me, is that possible?

Brenda: Anything is possible when you:

1) Tell Your Truth

2) Ask for what you Truly desire!!!

3) Choose the Impeccable state that serves

See you at the Beach

Love Brenda and Brian

P.S.

Brenda: I look forward to discussing the other three agreements soon. This was so much fun. Did I mention to you how much I appreciate the fun and joy you bring into my life. Humans have alot to offer Horses also and I am grateful of our time together.

It’s the release that teaches.

Posted on July 27, 2009, 9:00 am, by Brian Reid and received No Comments ».

“That’s not fair!”

“You promised!”

“Why won’t you listen to me?”

“Why should I change, what about You?” 

▪Are you tired of the same old stuff day in and day out?

▪Are you sick of being the only one who is changing?

▪Do you wish people would simply “Get It”?

▪Do you want to Let Go of past, present and future limiting thoughts and feelings so you can move on with your life?

“How is your Let Go!!! working for you”?

4 Let Goes that Do Not work and… 

1 Let Go that creates new freedoms and endless possibilities for you and those around you!!!!

▪What you hold onto, YOU hold onto.

▪The energy of holding on can be life draining.

▪“Letting Go” of life’s issues can be a very freeing, uplifting experience, if…you use the effective “Let Go” so you can “Let’s Go” on with your glorious life.

Consider the three times of  “Let Go” :

a. Letting go of a Past issue you have been carrying for quite some time.

b. Letting go of Present issue you just realized you are attached to.

c. Let’s go by releasing yourself to move toward a Future event you have chosen to create

Picture and feel a thick rope in you hands. At the end of the rope are all of life’s issues that you think are holding you back…

Now let’s try some Let Goes 

These “Let Goes” (1,2,3, and 4) do not produce forward movement toward your dreams. 

Let Go #1

You hold tight with both hands and life’s issues pull and push you off balance with every changing event and circumstance that is beyond your control.  You feel lost and you get tossed. 

Let Go #2  

You “Release” a little and the rope slips through your hands. OUCH!!! Rope burn!!!

You vow to never do that again.

You decide that holding on hurts less.

You refocus and re secure your grip. 

Let Go #3  

You drop the rope (issues) you are holding onto. The lifeless rope and all those issues attached fall to the ground. Since these issues have been your primary focus …what you released is laying there in front of you…lifeless.

Eventually, you pick it back up because that is where your focus still is. You may not like it but that is what you know and that is what you are familiar with. 

Let Go #4

You pull back with all your might until your grip gives way. The force of your pull, lands you right on your butt…staring right back at those same issues.

And just like Let Go #3 you get right back to work picking up that same rope…same focus.

You begin to realize the truth of the quote:

What you focus on becomes your reality… 

So far… the focus your “Let Go” has been what is holding you back…attaching you to what you wish to release from. 

There is a better way… 

True Release from what is holding you back and toward what you want in life.

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Posted on July 2, 2009, 9:00 am, by Brian Reid and received No Comments ».

Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

The Declaration of Independence states:

…that man has the Right to Life, Liberty

and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Today we have misinterpreted the meaning

of what Thomas Jefferson meant when he stated “pursuit”. 

He did not intend for you to chase after happiness,

but rather “practice” it daily.

     Brenda and Lucy practicing happiness.

Try these (4) four steps to happiness right now,

and see for yourself, the results of this

simple daily “practice” in your life.
Step 1 – Decide:

that you want to be unconditionally happy,

no matter what the future may hold.

I am not asking you to do anything,

simply decide if you want to be happy,

or if you do not want to be happy.

Either way make a conscious choice.
Step 2 – Take a deep breath:

Right now….

breathe and smile at the same time.
Do you notice that you can’t smile

and feel crappy at the same time.

This is the action step that you have to do 4 times a day.

     Like this. See what I mean!
Step 3 – Let Go of the past. 

Leave the past where it belongs, behind you.

You are to go in the other direction, toward the future.

When you catch yourself allowing

a bad past experience to enter your mind

STOP immediately and practice Step 2 (“Smile”)…

Then go to Step 1 ( “Decide”)…

Let go, Relax and Release totally.

If you let go a little when life is tugging at you

Plan on getting rope burn.

You cannot let go just a little bit,

you need to totally let go. 

Do not punish yourself by keeping

a bad experience alive in your present life.  (“Let Go”)

Step 4 – Live in the Moment. 

This is to be practiced daily. 

As you find yourself racing around,

stop, smile  and acknowledge

that you are looking inside of yourself

to witness the transition as you

smell the air, see the sky, feel the steering wheel.

It does not have to be fresh air…

it does not have to be a clear blue sky…

just witness what exists in the present moment.
Say “Thank You” out loud and then tell yourself what you want to do RIGHT NOW. What is “The Next Best Thing”

that you can make happen for yourself.
It may be to take another breath,

to stop at the gym and enroll in a fitness class,

or to call your partner and just say “Hi”,

for no other reason than to acknowledge them.

To experience these principles first hand, join us at the next

Horses Know the Way Home event.

June 14th Sunday 9am – 1pm

www.horsesknowthewayhome.com

In the Pursuit of Happiness,

Brian and Brenda Lee
