A little dirt won't hurt!

While in Phoenix, I promised myself that I would take every opportunity available to do things I would normally not do - either because of location, busy schedule etc. If there is ONLY one thing living in Arizona has provided me, it would be the lack of busy-ness. I now know I want to be busy, give back and keep my mind growing.

So, in the hopes of accomplishing a couple of things, I have found an organization that will take a piece of my heart I have a feeling. I have been scoping out Hunkapi, (pronounced Hoon-KAH-pee) for almost a year now. Check it out here: http://hunkapi.asu.edu/

As most of you know or don't know, my love and passion for horses is a bit crazy and scary at the same time. So, if I am going to volunteer, I want to make sure I am around something I love. And this organization is two-fold. They use horses in physical and emotional therapy for children, adults and family. I love the idea and practice of using horses to help, they are truly amazing creatures. There are a few out there (horses) that know my deepest darkest secrets - and they are good at keeping them.

I am so excited about starting at Hunkapi. There are so many benefits of it - best of all, I get to go out and play with ponies and get a bit dirty - who doesn't need a bit of dirt in her life?
