Horses have been used by mankind for centuries: they have been trained and employed in myriad ways.

One of the most difficult things in life is forgiving those who hurt us–or the ones we love. Forgiveness is never for the offender, though. Forgiveness frees us! I am excited to share another ‘taste’ of the spiritual journaling book.
