In her own
words
A few years ago a dear friend gave
me a small coin and the story of a Celtic Queen to help me through a
difficult time.
I learned to wire wrap, and to cast my own version of that coin, as
a way to share Boudicca’s legend with my nieces, sisters, and with
the special women that inspire me with the grace and strength with
which they face their own life battles every day.
The Arabian horse on the other side of the coin is in honor of
HiLoTsarraff, a very special bay stallion who was my best friend for
nearly 20 years.
When I was 15 years old I fell in love with a wild little blood bay
colt. My grandmother, after receiving much sound, informed advice on
the dangers of trusting a untouched colt to a young girl, bought him
anyway. He was on his way to my house before grandma broke the news
to my parents.
I’m sure she never imagined how much her gift would mold my life.
Nothing else teaches the really big lessons of teamwork, patients,
trust, love, honesty and compromise like an Arabian.
Grandma passed on when I was 20, my beautiful bay passed on in 2001.
It was during that time of struggle and search for a new passion
that I was given that small coin, and the encouragement I needed to
find new dreams and set new goals.
Grandma would have liked Boudicca’s story, they had a lot in
common…as a matter of fact, there is a lot of grandma in both sides
of my coin. |
