It has taken me an inordinate amount of time for me to get my website out into the world. In case you’re wondering what that means in my world, it’s been more than a year. I had no idea how difficult this was going to be. Writing the copy was hard. Consolidating my thoughts was...and continues to be...hard. Marketing, branding, logos, all stuff that I had only a peripheral understanding of still feels hard. Thank goodness for Harmonie Ponder, the magical maven behind Ponder Consulting, whose …
Horses and Healing
“I remember one day after several years of study, during which I thought I was progressing quite nicely, my teacher said, ‘Riding dressage is not like playing tennis. You can make your body learn the techniques and make your head learn the movements, but the dressage comes from inside of you.

I began to understand that people rode the way they were, mentally, emotionally, …
A Dark Night and a Cookie
M***** ******! My expletive burst forth into the chilly evening sky as the wheelbarrow fell over crashing to the ground, spilling the bags of pelleted bedding.

Enough of working out, enough of dragging myself out of bed at 5:30 am to go work out, enough of driving to the gym. Enough. I needed a break. I had been working out steadily …
What I’ve Learned About Love at Work
This is not about what you think it is. I’m not having an affair with anyone at work nor do I plan to. I am very happily married, thank goodness. This is about how I, as a counselor, have come to realize I love my clients. The first time a client told me they loved me, I didn’t know what to do. I had worked with her and her family for about 4 months, and our time together was drawing to a close. As she turned to leave for the day, she threw it casually back over her shoulder, “I love you, …
