2025 Kansas Snow Storm Thoughts

As a caretaker of farm animals living in Kansas..

Summer Bodies really are made in the Winter.

The last week has been a test of strength & stamina taking on Mother Nature. We are blessed to live where we have 4 seasons… and know if we give it some time the weather will change.

A few lesson’s learned:

4 wheel drive vehicles are NOT optional

Keep a shovel with you. 4 wheel drive helps but still gets stuck.

Don’t expect animals (or people) to go into snow deeper than their hips.

Hot water is not optional.

Salt Water in a Milk Jug does NO GOOD in sub zero temps.

When there is a thick layer of ice underneath, walking in snow is a better option, than completely cleared away snow.

Guineas take time to adjust going in, once they do they are not too proud to cozy up with the farm cats & baby goats!

After a few day’s the path’s develop and get wider daily.

Hydrate with electrolytes. (So thankful I keep a back stock of Hydrate+)

There’s no mistakes in Life… only lesson’s and those lessons will be repeated until they are learned.

P.S. Summer bodies really are made in the winter

Building a Mindset for a Happy Life

You don't FIND a Happy Life...
You BUILD it!

So you might we wondering where do I start? 

Setting an intention may help.

Have you ever tried setting an intention for your day?

 

It's made a big difference for me!

 Setting a morning intention is like programming your brain for the day ahead. It sets the tone for your day and can help you prioritize tasks, stay focused, and even handle challenges better.

When I start my day with an intention, it doesn't mean that everything will go perfectly, but it helps keep me on track with what matters most.

How to Start Your Day with an Intention 

1. Find a quiet moment in your morning routine, maybe while sipping your morning drink or after a short meditation.
2. Take a deep breath and think about what you want from the day. What do you want to accomplish, how do you want to feel, or what mindset do you want to have?

Your intention can be as simple or fancy as you like. Here are some examples:

• To focus on what’s going well
• To complete a particular task
• To be more patient throughout the day
• To experience more joy
• To stand up and move more
• To eat in ways that nourish your body
• Or, use an affirmation, like: “I am committed to my well-being journey. Today is an opportunity to grow and thrive in mind, body, and spirit.”

Tip: Experiment to see what kinds of intentions are most helpful for you.
 OR
I personally follow the "I choose Joy" daily routine.

Called the 4-G's
1. Gratitude: write 10 things your grateful for.
2. Goals: 1 Long Term and 2 Short Term
3. Growth: 30 min. of growing your mind
4. Grace: give grace to those on your mind you can't control and move on.
