Poison ivy and I go way back. But, they don't go further back than my horses. I never truly experienced poison ivy until I got horses. The poison ivy problem started with them, and they have been forever linked. It's completely possible this is entirely a me problem. In fact, anyone that I've ever[...]

When we are young and youthful and carefree, it's easy to live in the moment and not think of what is in store for the future. Now, this could apply to many things, your career, your love life, or your entire view of your existence, unable to understand why we are here, what it means to be human, a[...]
