Finding Your Place in the Sport : EVENTING NATION Esprit boing-ing through the coffin at River Glen. Image courtesy of WNC Photo. It’s a running joke at events that at some point during the weekend, usually after a competitor’s party beverage or two, I will inevitably descend into an “I love you, man” style monologue about our sport. Sometimes I just blubber on enthusiastically to anyone who will listen; sometimes I get deep and serious, even a little teary eyed if I’m really on a roll. This past weekend at River Glen H.T., the moment arrived unexpectedly while I was tearing open bags of shavings. Eventing has been the one constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, when you look around at an event, you’re almost always going to spot someone who doesn’t look happy to be there. What’s your place in the sport? I think we make eventing too complicated sometimes, piling all of this drama on top of it, allowing our egos to get in the way.
How To Find Yourself, When You've Lost Yourself Relephant reads! How to Release Your Inner Wonder Woman. Sometimes We Need to Get Lost to Be Found. Live the Life of Your Dreams. I had everything—a home, a loving husband, two gorgeous daughters, financial security. I felt safe. I was lost…completely lost, with no clue how to get home. “Where was home? My life was uncomfortably predictable—I knew what was going to happen next, in every moment of every day. The stagnancy of my life was destroying my spirit. That was three and a half years ago. Today, I’m writing this from home, from the same beige couch. The difference? There were many frightening moments, many moments I didn’t think I would make it. If there’s one piece of advice I would give every person, it would be to get lost. Finding yourself is not a comfortable process, nor should it be. This period of confusion is the catalyst for questioning everything, for evaluating your life and your place in it. If you already feel lost, listen closely. When you feel lost, you’ve lost your purpose.

Top 5 Ingredients in food that Harm Your Brain We rarely think about caring for our brains. It is there, it is an integral part of who we are, but it is not often that we think about it, much less know how to take care of it. Our brains are involved in everything we do. When your brain is healthy and is working right, you are right too. But when your brain is in distressed or troubled you will have distress and trouble in your life as well and the source of it might just be hidden toxins in your food. 1.

What's a Healthy Bowel Movement? Sometimes in life we have to deal with things that are less than pleasant – dirty laundry, patching up wounds, pet messes – let’s face it, moms cope with a lot of messy situations. Talking about bodily functions doesn’t generally make for polite conversation. Judging by the stunning array of constipation medications available at the drugstore, maybe we do need to talk about it. (I was looking for ipecac syrup, which they no longer carry, to keep in our emergency medical kit.) So, what constitutes a “normal” bowel movement? Type 1: Separate hard lumps, like nuts These stools lack a normal amorphous quality, because bacteria are missing and there is nothing to retain water. We are bombarded with advertisements for FIBER! I (unfortunately) found this information out first hand when my thyroid became sluggish. 1) Eat plenty of coconut oil and other high quality saturated fats. Fats are our bodies natural lubricants. 3) Stay hydrated I’m not fanatical about how much water I drink.
La ligne de parti | Stéphane Laporte, collaboration spéciale | Stéphane Laporte Il y a deux mois, la députée fédérale Maria Mourani a été expulsée du Bloc québécois, parce qu'elle s'était opposée à la même Charte proposée par le PQ. Tu ne peux pas être péquiste ou bloquiste et être contre la Charte des valeurs. Tu ne peux pas être libéral et être contre la position des libéraux à propos de la Charte des valeurs. On appelle ça, la ligne de parti. «Moi, je pense qu'on devrait courir! - Moi, je pense qu'on devrait lancer le ballon! - Moi, je pense qu'on devrait botter!» Cette équipe-là n'irait nulle part. En politique, c'est le chef qui dit quoi faire, les autres écoutent et exécutent. La différence, c'est qu'un jeu au football dure environ 10 secondes et n'a d'autre conséquence que de faire gagner ou perdre une gang de gars qui jouent au ballon. Et si la politique n'était pas un jeu? Les partis sont des machines à gagner des élections. La lumière jaillit du choc des idées, pas de l'aplanissement des idées. Car il y en aura toujours. Lâchez-nous avec la ligne de parti.

Family Living in New House Discovers Stranger Living Inside Walls Most people believe that they are safe inside their own homes. This story just proves, though, that even that is rarely true. Two boys were playing rough in their parents room when they made a startling discovery. This could chill any homeowner down to their very core. The house was built in the early 2000s. Except when the new owners’ two songs were horsing around and dislodged a bookshelf… That movable bookshelf revealed a secret staircase. The tall, spiral staircase seemed to lead downward directly into a wall. But halfway down, there was a crawlspace. Inside, the two boys found the most terrifying thing: evidence that someone was squatting. Whoever was living there had small objects with them, like the elephant seen here. They also had a key that unlocked only God knows what. And of course, they also found creepy dolls hidden in the room. Because every stranger living secretly inside of your walls need dolls with soulless eyes. Good luck falling asleep tonight. Source
