A Bright, Shining Light

Birthdays are about commemorating a life as it crosses an anniversary into another year. A reflection of past accomplishments and a celebration of things to come.  Today is my dear friend Jenny's birthday.

Jenny and I began our relationship as friends of a friend.  After she moved to Colorado to begin her equine rehabilitation center out of Dark Star just over two years ago, our friendship grew into one of lifelong proportions.  She was there for me throughout the pain of my divorce.  She held me up when I couldn't hold it together anymore.  She and my friend Deb moved me, my horses, and all of my belongings out to California in January of 2008.  And when many of my friends abandoned me, confused and hurt over my divorce and subsequent relationship with Boyfriend, she continued to cheer me on.  She trusted my instincts and understood that no one could know what was better for me than myself.

Since I've been in California, Jenny has built her business into a thriving equine rehabilitation operation, utilizing western medicine, metaphysics, and holistic therapies.  She has established amazing relationships with veterinarians, healers, and shamans from all over the country.  She is coming into her own as a healer, incorporating medicine, mind, body and spirit.  And I'm amazed at her ability to accomplish anything she puts her mind to, but not surprised.  

I've been aware of her ability to heal others for a while now.

Happy birthday, Jenny. You have to know that you're a bright, shining light in so many lives, especially mine.
