It’s all about experiences, the healing power of nature, animals, and the great outdoors. I believe that you are what you eat; mind, body and soul. I enjoy growing my own food. My ultimate dream is to have a small homestead, and be as self sufficient as possible, producing the majority of my family’s food myself. I believe that life is about choosing happiness. To actively be in charge of how you react to any given situation. I have a BA in Early Childhood Education. I love books, and read a lot, but believe in learning by doing. I LOVE HORSES. I never stopped being that crazy horse girl. Instead my passion just grew more intense for every passing year. Sharing my connection with nature and animals with others gives me the greatest joy. With gratitude, Maria
