Melissa again 

I got the letter from my lawyer today. The divorce is final. I am Melissa again. 

My friend pointed out how true it is that I’m Melissa again  in the way that I’m dealing with my fall and injury.

Married Melissa would have felt this is all my fault, I deserved it, I don’t deserve to be happy, Im not worthy of having good things happen to me, I should never have been so selfish to follow my heart and do something I love. 

Melissa again ( the new version of the old me) feels I had better spend the winter healing, getting stronger, and improving my balance so this doesn’t happen again, maybe I need to seek out someone who can help me be more confident, I can’t wait to ride again, thank goodness for Drishti – he is helping heal my soul.  

Night and day difference in attitude. This is how I know I’m Melissa again. That is happiness. 

I saw my surgeon – who is a second cousin (he doesn’t know this) and who informed me how dangerous horse riding is (his uncle and cousin formed my childhood love of being crazy on horseback) – and while my shoulder is badly shattered and will take a long time to heal, it doesn’t need surgery and is in good alignment to heal. 

So that’s good. And that’s happiness too 


And him. That little face. He is a bright light in my life. 

I’m Melissa again. ❤️❤️

Oils Uno Frozen

I decided this morning that I was done with the pain meds. They make me feel terrible – to the point I’d rather deal with the pain. I pulled out my essential oils and made my own pain reliever. Marjoram and frankincense in a rollerball on my shoulder and also taken internally. It’s helped significantly with the pain and I haven’t had to take a pill all day. I’m hoping my head and my digestive system clear up in the next couple of days. That’s happiness. 

Tonight I played a Frozen game with my niece, nephew, and mom while my sister played Uno with my kids. Happiness is found in these little moments – it’s where the memories are made.

Because it’s funny

I made it outside today to see my pony it’s the first time I’ve been out to see him since I fell off. I think he’s been lonely too. The very least he appreciated the treats I brought for him. I love this guy and being with him brings me so much happiness. I waited a lifetime for him to come – and even if I can’t ride and I’m going to enjoy him 

He’s looking for treats 


Jacob has been watching TV with me and we watched an episode that made us laugh out loud. He had to get up and record his favourite part.

Silly laughter is exactly what happiness is.

That’s gratitude 

Today I took a good look at the helmet I was wearing when I fell off my horse earlier this week. 

I had been amazed at how thoroughly I had shattered my shoulder yet not damaged any other part of my body – especially my head which had landed inches away from that shoulder. 

My helmet has a huge crack in it. I broke it when I fell. If I hadn’t been wearing my helmet, I would have shattered my head. 

It’s the same feeling I had years ago when I was in a bad accident and knew I only survived because I had my seatbelt on. 

I am alive because I had on my helmet. I’ve always complained about wearing one, but swore to myself I’d do it every time when I got my new horse. And I have – every single time. 

What if I hadn’t? 

It’s a different kind of happiness than what I usually write about – but it’s happiness in a very pure form. I love this life and I’m grateful for it.

Friends in low places

One of my bestest, oldest girlfriends sent me a message today letting me know that she had an extra Garth Brooks ticket for me. 

We saw him together in Calgary almost 30 years ago and I’m so excited that she’s going to be my date for the show again. I think it was the best concert I’ve ever seen and I’m so grateful that we get to go do it again. 

That is happiness!!!

Helping hands

Today  people continued to help me out by giving food asking if there was anything they could do and in the case of my kids cleaning the house. 

The kids weren’t overly pleased about that part but they did a good job once they got going. I think it’s been good for all of us to have these roles switch up a little bit they appreciate what I do a whole bunch more and I sure appreciate everything they’re doing for me. 

I am so grateful for this tribe. Such happiness.

Plant the seeds of love

I am so absolutely humbled by the outpouring of love that I have seen in the last couple of days after I had my fall. I don’t know what I would’ve done without these people around me – my tribe. 

You really do need to be part of a community in order to be cared for and care for each other. And I’m so grateful that God put me right in the middle of this one. 

We are all continuously planting the seeds of love. I have so much happiness because I have such amazing people in my life.

Taken care of

So my shoulder is broken after my little spill off of my horse yesterday not really the ideal way to spend the rest of  the summer but it is what it is. 

I have been humbled and amazed at how well I have been taken care of in the last 24 hours. Kids, cousins, aunts, friends, my mom and my sister – everybody has called and asked what they can do to help out, and I feel truly blessed. I talk a lot about my tribe and this is exactly what I mean. I couldn’t do it without these people. This is happiness.

All in a day’s work 

I got to see my boy at his job today. This work has been such a great thing for him / he’s learning responsibility, but also has gained a whole new social network, and has developed a new confidence which has been awesome to watch evolve. 


I’m so proud of both my kids. They are such kind, caring, awesome human beings. They are the brightest stars in my sky – and seeing them happy makes me happy.
