My Theme Tune for now
There’s been a song from an old musical called Brother Sun, Sister Moon rattling around in my head for days. It ties in perfectly with what we’re creating in the Sustain your EA Business community. The lyrics are .. If you want your dream to be build it slow but surely Small beginnings, greater ends. Heartfelt work grows purely … You’ll find the full song here https://youtu.be/OKFbB_kqpDI?si=CxETnZ2BdMLIhIwr I’m adopting it as my soundtrack for now 😍 If your life right now had a theme song, what would it be? Please share the link 😍

@Eileen Bennett https://open.spotify.com/track/7cDJZvKCU9VWigsP3oK5bN?si=LPBmiF-bSCyDCJnb8wszjA This is another that keeps funnily finding my ears too recently. I am so bad to remember songs names or artists so I had to look them up.
Skool Break (no pun intended) 🙂
I had a slight accident last week. Nothing serious, just an undignified fall resulting in some bruised ribs that totally slowed me down and left me feeling very sorry for myself. And there wasn't a horse in sight! The physical slow down opened more opportunities (time) to develop online projects I'm working on, but the feeling sorry for myself stopped me in my tracks. There I was, wishing I could clone myself so I could devote time to all the exciting things in the pipeline, yet when I couldn't do the physical, hands-on part of my job, I couldn't muster up the energy to focus on the online stuff. And I'm trying to figure out why! I firmly believe that KNOWING YOUR WHY is the foundation and pre-requisite for all forward movement. So I would really appreciate any help finding the WHY of my inertia. Answers on a postcard (in the comments) please 🙂

Oh Eileen, i love the way you use language I had to look up Inertia ( banking that word now )🤩 Oh i feel i could write a book in being in this place of body slowing me right down and yet having that ever so growing list of to do or projects . so i definetly can relate. I felt i would be able to swing into in the new year but ended up I just wasn't quite up to it. This period of more slower pace ( or underproductivity in my mind ) at the beginning it was ever so very frustrating and i tired to push through as i do but i kept finding myself back in the having to accept this PAUSE. Then a big shift happened recently that I feel that my deeper self must have known it had needed to slow the body right down in order for me to appreciate and be present in what was to unfold. I had this strange gut instinct there was something to happen niggling me and so when it did happen it all made sense. So for me when i got past the WHY ? ( the frustrating part ) I found myself in place of acknowledgment and much more Clarity in it is okay to Pause at times and possibly actually is very necessary in order to be truly creative or learn. It just seems like how did i not see it all the time. I do feel our bodies really do hold score of past experiences and a deeper intuition kicks in whenever we are maybe walking a little too far from our center (whatever resonates to the reader your internal, light ,divine self ,soul, being ...) that element of ourselves pulls back the body on its weak spots. This can be very triggering as when we find yourselves back in an old wound or simple a place of pause we hadn't allowed for . It might feel like we are revisiting something that we don't like or is something we felt we had moved on from. A little like old habits die hard or what is it i need to learn now (teenage self ) Can i not just get on with it !! That why me ?? Why now ? Is the WHY just part of the cycle of knowing and learning ? But I hope this makes sense to someone . My odd old soul found recently that whenever we get to revisit something we once thought had released and moved on from . We find ourselves looking at it from a completed different angle as if we are looking in at the scenario which for me then feels like the learning and unlearning cycle completes itself.
Full Moon
I love Full Moons 😊 It was too cloudy to capture the Blood Moon in all its glory earlier in the week, but this was the view from my back door last night 😊 The phone camera really doesn’t do justice to how spectacular it was 😊 Did you get any moon shots?

WHERE’S THE WATER RANT ALERT!
We have had beautiful Spring weather in Ireland for the last few days. Everything is drying up after weeks and weeks of relentless rain 😊 Everyone - including our horses - is in better form. The evenings are brighter and Mother Nature is waking up 😊 It’s all very lovely. But here’s what’s bugging me …. That relentless rain is just gone. All those gallons of water that fell from the sky soaked into the land and made it waterlogged. Fields were too wet to use, and too wet to drive on, and the excess water became a threat to the environment in agricultural areas. On the other hand, we’re reading about a potential ‘water famine’ (which I think is just a new term for ‘drought’) because of the demands of the ever-increasing number of data centres needed to power AI. Like it or not, the AI genie is well and truly out of the bottle and is never going back. Just like air travel and family cars and all the other modern conveniences we’ve become accustomed to, it’s here to stay. We can’t undo AI - but we can be smart about how we manage it. If the volume of rain that fell in the first couple of months of 2026 had been collected, nobody would have to be worried about any kind of drought. As a species, we really to work smarter! QUESTION What’s annoying you right now?

Rain came back again here 🌧️🤦🏻‍♀️🤞not for too long more I’ve add to this little rant … It really is so wasteful of all places in the world . how we don’t have the best water system and quality in the world is a bit mind boggling. especially with all the rain we experienced in comparison to other places in the world …. as well we most have so many highly educated graduates every year being educated that could help come up with real life solutions for every household & farm , business on ways to improve our country’s water systems… Instead (the so called ones that make the decisions ) don’t use the educated minds to come up with solutions . They decide a good idea would be to spend billions on a pipeline from Loughderg to Dublin for water that will need to be highly treated ( as even as a child I wouldn’t have drank from it )and it will most likely become more problematic as time goes on as there will be less water in the river/lake with abstraction for lough derg ( causing environmental destruction) but oh well but they won’t fix the leaks in Dublin first place 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Welcome Tracey, I can highly recommend and I really value the learning in the courses and training provided by Horses Connect. Eileen & Mary have created such a welcoming supportive space and have a beautiful way to share their knowledge and they truly mentor well beyond their courses in EAL & EALPD. I am base in Clare and so traveled the road up and down to Galway many times with each trip I came home with always my knowledge expanded and have got the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people working in the EAS community from around the country. Best wishes with your learning .
