Rescue! Paying It Forward
I've written a little about my bratty fjord x, who in actual fact, saved my life. I won't go into that, but how, a few years later, I was able to pay it forward by rescuing a thoroughbred mare.
The ad in the paper said $500 so, for some reason, I went to see her, even though I didn't have the funds to purchase her. It was our typical cold, rainy November weather, and she stood, her neck parallel to her withers, her head down, her eyes dull. Her coat was long and rough, and as I ran my hand down her side, my hand easily slipped between her ribs to my middle finger. Her hip bones stuck out, and she stunk of the pond she had to wade through to get to her shelter.
The owner, a small woman, said she was pushy and refused to feed her because of it. Um, I'd be pushy too if I was starving. I asked all my horse friends to go look at her, as I sensed something wonderful about her. No one wanted her. She had no energy to canter, and one trainer said she didn't have the right gaits.
I asked my daughter's British trainer to come look at her, and she said yes, she had beautiful conformation, but a 'pig' eye (small) and was at a point of using her muscle to feed herself. She felt she was worthy of a $500 investment, and I arranged with the owner to pay him in three instalments and took her home.
The first thing I did was throw a blanket on her, and let her and my daughter's thoroughbred get to know one another over a fence. It was love at first sight. Alfie (my daughter's horse) was thrilled with the new arrival. They went into the same paddock with free choice hay, my mare only interested in the food.
I couldn't think of a barn name for her, her registered name being one that was so far from what she was at the moment, there was no way I was using it. After spending time with her, Moka became her barn name, her personality a little sweet, a little spicy.
Through that winter I brushed her morning and night, trying to get the stink of the pond out of her. Gradually she put on weight, her neck and head lifted and her eyes became bright. It seemed to take forever, and one day in April of that year, it seemed that when I took her blanket off, that all her winter coat came with it. There stood proudly before me, a gleaming dark bay beauty.
Over the winter, I'd taken her across the street to the riding arena and lunged her on a long line, teaching her to walk, trot, canter on command. She'd get so mad at herself when she'd pick up the wrong lead and kick out and capriole mid air to change leads. Her athleticism was astounding.
My daughter took her to a cross country event in June, and everyone asked where we'd gotten her, she was so beautiful, including the trainer that said she didn't have the right gaits. Moka smoked it in dressage, her canter was so even and rhythmic. She loved to jump and had to be held back rather than pushed on. When she saw a jump, her ears perked forward, and her attitude was 'hang on, because I'm going.' There was no hesitation with her whatsoever.
I did all the ground work with Moka, as I knew she was too much horse for me. I did get on her a couple of times, and her canter was so smooth, it was like riding a rocking horse. She was so athletic and talented, she had no hesitation in doing anything that was asked of her.
Moka continued to thrive, and her and Alfie became inseparable, mirroring each other's movements, laying down at the same time in the same position, looking like bookends. There was something so similar about their eyes, and when I researched Moka's pedigree, found that they'd had the same grandsire.
The first time I let Moka (and the other two) out into the field after that long, cold winter, her and Alf raced down the hill to the back of the 10 acres, kicking, bucking and squealing. My favourite memories are at dinner time, shaking the grain can calling them in for dinner, and watching them race each other up the hill, Nick trailing behind.

Way of comunication
I believe for some who used to work in a company consist of some expatriates will face a communicating issue.
I am working on a accompany that allow me to meet , deal and communicate with many expatriates from India, Pakistan , Japan, and Korea.
And I think it is not easy to deal with them. Mostly on communicating issue.
Sometimes what we mean opposite with what they mean.
One day, I got assignment from my Japanese Superior. He asked me to make a document export.
I have done it and only awaiting for his signature. When he asked the document, I said it had done already . But he said, it had not done yet. I said, yes it had done already. Again, He said it had not done yet.
Finally, I knew what he means. For me "had done" mean I have already finished made the document, But for him, "had done" means the document already made and included his signature. W/o his signature that mean had not done yet.
Following one speaker of " Global Leadership Summit 2016 " Mrs. Erin Meyer;
" The way you communicate , affected the level of clarity that you give and hope to be accepted when dealing with others."
And.Asia continent included on High Context communicating which are implicit, layered, and nuanced .
I think I face a big challenge of communication ahead...
Any suggestion to help me deal and do a better communication with my expatriates?
Wish you all a nice weekend...

Law of Attraction
Our lives are made up of many beliefs
We learn most when we are small
Most of us don’t even realize
How much they affect us all
So many beliefs are ingrained in us
We don’t even realize they are there
Maybe hearing things often as a young child
Or sensing our parents despair
Although we don’t need to dwell on the past
Sometimes it’s helpful to find
Those negative beliefs that are holding us back
By being dominant in our sub-conscious mind
A belief is only a thought we keep thinking
So our beliefs are easy to change
We just change it to a positive thought
Which at first will feel a bit strange
By focusing on the positive thought
And repeating it often each day
Soon you will find your new belief is there
In what you do and in what you say
For instance, one of the most common beliefs
That many of us have taken on
Is the ‘I’m not good enough’ syndrome
It is a belief that is so strong
‘I am good enough just as I am right now’
This new belief will affect your life dramatically
By accepting yourself just as you are
The door opens to abundance, you will soon see

Amah!..Cleaning Lady
Cleaning Lady
"During my second month of university,our professor gave us a pop quiz.
I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the Last one: "What is the first name of the women who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of a joke. I had seen the cleaning women several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?
I handed in the paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count our quiz grade.
"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello"
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Susan."

Love is stronger than anything in the world
Hey ladies and gentlemen in my experience with hate and negativity, I always keep a positive attitude in all things my experiences in my life. I had went through so much such as family divorce back in my childhood to being bullied a little with some youngers but those days are behind me. I reflect back at my life no matter how things turn out I still keep a smile on my face staying postive and strong with nothing but heart full of love even when I feel upset I manage to always think positive. I think of love no doubt my family I love then as they love me also we support all no matter what. I also open my doors to share my love to all no matter who you are may God bless us all and know that love is the most strongest precious thing we have and keep showing how much we love each other.

Job interview done!
My major interview was today. Yesterdays interview was just a short one, while today was the interview, that will determine if I get the job or not.
I had to complete some tests again. The first one was where i had to answer 16 questions. On that test, I had 93.33% correct, which put me at the top. The second test was designed to calculate my WPM. I ended with 56 WPM with 2 spelling errors, which landed me in the top 5% of results.
Next followed a series of questions, where I was asked about previous jobs. How I handled stress, how I was as a person and how I approach my job.
The entire interview was little less than an hour long, and it ended with the interviewer saying, that she didn't think I would have any issues with the job. That makes me think, that I am in with a very real shot of securing employment on a full time basis. The salary is also pretty good, which allows me to save up for a new place to live!
Fingers crossed that I will hear some positive news back from them! They said tomorrow or Monday at the latest!

Chimera...
Wikipedia
The term "chimera" has come to describe any mythical or fictional creature with parts taken from various animals, to describe anything composed of very disparate parts, or perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling.

What makes a chimera?
An animal chimera is a single organism that is composed of two or more different populations of genetically distinct cells that originated from different zygotes involved in s*xual reproduction. ... Chimeras are formed from at least four parent cells (two fertilised eggs or early embryos fused together).
Look Here?
Is this the future or current time at present?
I think of the Centaur (Sagittarius)...Most well known Chimera in Astrology...
Pig / Lion Mixes
Scientists generating human organs by creating Chimeras...It will truly not be human...if it's a mix, and then using it on humans, will create more Chimeras...
Who wants a half pig, etc heart and more?
Are we really that hard-up, or will you accept anything if you cannot find a human donor, just to keep living...is that life?
