2021 has become a new year for donkeys and weddings, in fact, more and more couples are bringing a little bit of Jesus into their wedding. Yes, I said Jesus, did you know that donkeys have a cross on their back? Yes, all donkeys have a cross on their back even the black donkeys. Trained donkeys are now carrying the drinks, flowers, food video cameras and are totally bringing a blessing to each wedding.
I have lived in the Pacific Northwest my entire life. When my husband saw this tree he said “This is the one”, no watering, no mess. Well we moved over to the other side and I am here to say this is it! I love this fake tree. Easy to setup and no tree died.
Aging is a process for sure, one I was not ready to embrace as we have always cut our own beautiful fresh tree. We are excited to share the fake tree is amazing. Looks real and takes minutes to setup.
After surviving a life threatening motor vehicle accident I was stuck in bed and a chair for most of three years. I attended physical therapy for three years, two and three times a week. I wore my horse riding gloves to the gym when I lifted weights so I could see myself riding again. People are visual learners too! Select GOD Created A Miracle For Meto read about my journey.
Mind Over Pain And Sorrow:
I had a choice to give up or trust GOD!
My husband of twenty-four years made the choice to keep our little farm and not give up. He is an amazing man.
My husband gave me audio of the bible to listen to when I was not strong enough to lift the bible and read it. Select Audio bible.
Our marriage grew stronger not weaker during this time of pain and suffering.
I learned to not worry about the little things. Pay attention to the good things in life. The news, social media is geared to negative attention. I refused to put any negative information in my head. The pain was constant and this in itself was enough negative energy.
Love Life. Share love, I learned to Blog and I gave free donkey training lessons to people who owned donkeys all over the world. I wanted to continue to use my brain and help others. This is something the bible teaches us. Stop thinking about ourselves and help others. Not easy to do in the beginning but the more you do it the better you feel.
Stop feeling bad about everything I failed at. Let it go! Look forward as GOD gave us eyes in the front of our head for a reason. Learn from our past mistakes but move on!
Meet people, rejoice, laugh, smile and understand that I am lucky. Many people had it much harder than me.
Live my life with a gratefulattitude. Surround myself with positive people and energy.
Dream! Never stop dreaming it is never to late to live your life with passion.
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
The Pacific Northwest, Western Washington has some of the most enchanting places to say I love you forever. Here are a few of my most favorite places. Select Elegant Wedding.
I am one of those people in life who has not only survived trauma I work very hard to inspire others. I pray my blog brings a smile to your face. I pray you will never give up!
GIVE UP AND IT’S OVER!
KEEP ON KEEPING ON AND YOUR WORLD WILL CHANGE!!!

Hubby and I have been working on our farm since August of 2013. Another year has quickly disappeared, so many great and sad things have come and gone. We are most grateful to GOD for keeping us healthy; emotionally, physically and mentally. We are fifty-five now and this is one of our final bucket list destinations. Living our life simpler with less stress. 2016 we will celebrate our twenty-third year as a couple. Wow!
Great things:
Arena completed.
Hay cut and donated to starving horses as we will grow low sugar/protein hay (sell).
Enjoyed the Olympic Mountains over and over again.
Fences completed, stained.
I created an amazing food garden out of hanging baskets. After the house is completed I will have raised beds.
Living in the 5th wheel has been a challenge in the winter seasons but extremely easy in the spring, summer and fall as we have full sun on our farm, Sequim, WA.
Less rain has helped my body, arthritis and pain will be with me the rest of my life from the Semi-truck accident. Screws in my pelvis cause severe pain and arthritis.
Jewel our twelve year old middle dog had a very dangerous tumor (cancer) on her hip and tummy. Surgery was successful and she is healing she is one strong dog. Thank you Jesus!
We have a new puppy!
I created my own hand-made Donkey Whisperer Farm, LLC Rope Halter/matching lead line with a brass snap and leather end. Sales are outstanding!!!! Thank you for supporting my small business.
Painful things:
Our dog Sampson died right before Thanksgiving as he had cancer.
Naturally we did the best thing;
We had our vet send him to heaven no more pain, I cried for three weeks and still call the new puppy his name. I will always love you Sampson! Sampson was our rescue Great Pyrenees/Akita. We had no idea he was sick until one week before he let us know with extreme screaming pain.
I thought I had a publisher for my donkey educational book, turned out to be a scam. Still praying for a publisher.
My hubby Scott and I are grateful to GOD to give us this farm, let us own the Donkey Whisperer Farm, LLC and keep our marriage strong in the middle of some serious test and trials. We are best friends. If you get the opportunity to marry, marry your best friend. Love and friendship must go hand-and-hand as marriage is hard work.
Living in a small space is not easy but it can be done. We are a testimonial to this.

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
GOD has a plan, he takes one extrovert with big dreams and one introvert and mixes this together to make Mr. and Mrs. Scott Johnson. Thank you Scott! Thank you for making all my dreams come true. Thank you for not letting me lay in sorrow after the semi-truck accident and cry, thank you for not selling my horse and donkeys. Thank you for giving me four more donkeys and another horse. Thank you for stepping out of the city life into the life of a farmer. Thank you for living in this tiny 5th wheel with me so we can build our last home.
You are truly a farm man now! Thank you for not turning me in for a younger healthy model after the semi-truck accident, you stuck with me and help me live with the pain every day. Most men would have walked away but not you, you stood by my side day after day and still when I cry from pain you hold my hand and tell me you love me. I am so much in love with you, more than words can describe.
I love you so much and I want you to always remember that the best thing that ever happened to me in this world is you! You are my best friend, my lover, my husband and my partner in this thing called life. I am forever grateful for every minute, hour and day we have together. We never know when our time is up, so we cherish the moments we get! You always make me laugh when I want to cry, you always tell me things will get better. You are truly an inspiration to me and you Scott Johnson are the man of my dreams. You are my Rock and I pray I am for you what you are for me.
This is my love letter to you in public! I know we are private but today I needed to say thank you, I love you to the entire world. As the last year has been difficult but great things are ahead. We started a new business together Donkey Whisperer Farm, LLC and soon GOD will provide the resources to start growing low sugar/protein hay on our farm. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST!
We are now fifty-five and going stronger every day!
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
I have learned when I give up control, lay down on the floor and cry in my mind or physically and tell GOD I quit trying to fix this mess he steps in and takes over. Why? GOD wants us to acknowledge him and ask for his help then and only then will he send the right desires of our heart and open closed doors. All of the dreams we each have were planted at birth. NEVER GIVE UP, TRUST GOD IN JESUS CHRIST NAME for everything! 2015 is going to be your best year if you let GOD drive your life.
I have learned I can dance in the middle of the storm in my mind hard to dance physically with screws in my pelvis. I can smile and laugh and it feels oh so good and this is all due to GOD’s gifts nothing to do with me, nothing at all. I give 100% of my life to Jesus Christ as without him I will wither away and rot in depression. Dance with Jesus is real I know as I have suffered but I have also danced with Jesus. I pray this re-blogged post brings you peace. Remember to spend quality time with GOD he is wants us to ask for help on driving, going to the store, staying calm, our health, ,marriage and much, much more. GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged! Melody
Prayer
Consider the lilies how they grow. They neither wither wearily toil nor spin nor weave; yet I tell you, even Solomon all his glory his splendor and magnificence was not arrayed like one of these. LUKE 12;127 – Please consider getting this book to help you with bible verses in your every day life.
The Secret Power of Speaking GODS Word – Prayers from the bible organized for your emotions and dreams; depression, anxiety, worry, anointing, anger, peace, love, forgiveness and so much more. Select The Secret Power Of Speaking GODs Word to find the cheapest price.
We can pray for people and still enjoy our life. The bible says to dust our feet off when needed and keep moving towards Jesus. I say we have the power to Enjoy our life or Not. Life is all about what we think and if we think we can do something we can, if we think we can’t we can’t. I will forever be grateful to have Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior as life is too painful without him.
As soon as you open your eyes thank GOD for what you have. Clean water, shelter, food, clothes, the ability to walk, talk, brush your teeth and look around at the wonderful thing we call life. One day you will wake up and be too old and life is over. Fear is false evidence appearing real. NEVER GIVE UP!
Ever wondered how you will look when you are old?
You can find an app that will show you, google it. I prefer to wait and see and just enjoy the ride.
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
