About KShai1715

I am a lifelong equestrian, photography enthusiast, sci-fi lover, and sci-fi convention & costuming geek that also loves movies and video games. I am a hard working and life-loving 40- something woman that survived cancer and am looking forward to a long, healthy, self-empowered life. Welcome to my blog and I hope you enjoy reading about my horses (and the rest of my life) as much as I like writing about them.

The Old and the Things Yet To Be

Posted on November 6, 2020 by KShai1715

Recently, I’ve had some things on my mind. The past, the very very past, the present, and the future. I definitely have anxiety and some of that comes in the form of over-assessing all that I have done and experienced … Continue reading →
