For the love of horses! Dreaming of discovering the McGinnis Meadows Cattle & Guest Ranch

E. Nina Rothe June 25, 2020

Only my closest friends and family know that horses are my passion. It’s not a sport one can practice just anywhere and my life lately has been more city dweller and less country girl — for family reasons. However, you can take the girl out of stables but you can’t take the stables out of a girl. I dream of horses, I cry when one is featured in a film and when I get an email like the recent one from McGinnis Meadows Cattle & Guest Ranch in Montana, I start to plan in my head how I could make it work out to go there. This summer.

So I’ve said, give me two minutes and I’ll give you films, fashion and fun. Here are today’s picks.

Today is Earth Day — or rather tonight is “Earth Hour”. I don’t know about you but this lockdown has made me realize even more than ever before that every hour of every day should be Earth day. Anyway, at 8.30 p.m. of whichever time zone you find yourselves in, switch it all off. And look at the stars. They are more free than we are at the moment and oftentimes remind us of those who have gone.

More midlife success secrets: Big girls DO cry!

E. Nina Rothe August 24, 2018

As we travel together on this journey to steer clear of a midlife crisis by feeling instead our midlife success, I wanted to share another secret to growing older gracefully. The power of tears.

We all remember Sofia Loren's perfect quote "If you haven't cried, your eyes can't be beautiful" but I'll take it one step further, by saying that the tears I've shed in my life have kept me young at heart.
