Life On Poso Creek

It is like all the other places I’ve lived….and completely foreign at the same time.

Dust hangs in the valley long after pickups and cattle have passed through.
Pigs and turkeys make their evening stroll off the hillside right around 8pm and bear and lion tracks pepper either side of the creek here by the house.

The heat is different. In the high desert you need a coat until 8am at least, and the earliest I’ve ridden out here has been 4am and I was already too warm for my thin shirt. It’s beautiful and exhausting and wonderful and I’m so happy I could bust. The horses I’m riding feel like they are getting more and more badass with every day and I’m braiding at night. Life is good.



















After a year of observing and researching Shakeology, I became a Beachbody coach and am using their shakes and workout programs. I decided to become a coach because healthy eating and exercise changed my life and saved me from almost certain death from Lyme disease. The joy of getting my life back and being able to ride my horses thanks to a different lifestyle made me want to help other people feel the same way I do now! If you’re interested, here’s my website! Take a look around and if you have any questions, please just ask!




Believe in yourself, because if you can’t, no one else will.

Roman Ruins and Nevada Sage


I want to roll out spinach-flavored gnocchi
In my underslung cowboy boots
Clouds of flour rising from my station at a 250-year-old kitchen counter.
In the corner, a bundle of Nevada sage will hang from the rafters alongside
Hackmore cores
Bundles of chilies and garlic.

I want to leave a trail of ION dirt behind me as I
Happily stamp my way through the streets of Milan,
Cobblestones vibrating beneath my booted feet.
I want to watch the Mediterranean Sea
Kiss the Roman shore as we work wild, horned cattle.

And then I want to fly back to you
Saturated and filled to the brim with another’s history,
Songs, hopes and history
And live out my days
In the shadow lands of this California sky
Nevada sage and the kiss of memories from Italy’s green shores
