Started at 54. Competed at 55. Won my first blue ribbon.

Описание: Last week, I competed in my first horse show as an adult at 55 years old. When they called my name as the winner and handed me that blue ribbon, I felt like my 11-year-old self again—pure joy, no limitations, just possibility.

I rode as a kid, then life happened. I'd ride on and off over the years, but at 54, I decided this wasn't just a hobby—it was a lifelong dream I was finally going to claim. One year later, at 55, I competed in my first show. Was it scary? Absolutely. As kids, we have no fear. As adults, we think about everything that could go wrong.

But here's what I've learned: being scared is the BEST thing for us.

Do it scared anyway.

You are not your age. You are awareness having a physical experience. And that means there is no expiration date on your dreams.

If you've been on the fence about something—maybe you think you're too old, too late, too whatever—this is your sign. Throw that limiting belief away. The only thing standing between you and that dream is the story you're telling yourself.

Now? I've got my sights set on the World Championship Show in Saddleseat in Kentucky—walking through that tunnel into Freedom Hall, hearing my name announced, thousands of people in the stands. And I'm finally going to own my own horse. I'm in it for good now.

Name it. Proclaim it. DO IT.
