The Season of Gratitude
http://margueriteham.com/the-season-of-gratitude
Colorado Leadership Coach and Trainer. The Season of Gratitude. November 20, 2014. As our Thanksgiving holiday here in the US is around the corner (November 27th) and our Canadian friends have already celebrated their Thanksgiving (October 13th), I am reminded to think about Being Grateful. We are all so busy with this wonderful adventure called. It is easy to just keep going day in and day out without taking the time to simply think about what we are grateful for in our daily lives. This journey has bee...

Facebook Brought Us Together Across the Miles. The most wonderful things came as a result of the wildfire. (Can you believe it’s now two years since the fire? There are many stories and surprises I could share with you, but here’s one that was such a coincidence and a blessing. After the fire, a business colleague was following posts on my Facebook page. He was also friends with a woman who used to live in Black Forest, but had moved to Maine many years earlier. Would you believe it? How cool is that?

Fall Fishing Near Cripple Creek Colorado | Cabin Mama

Fall Fishing Near Cripple Creek Colorado. It’s leaf-peeping season, which gave me more than one reason to join friends at their favorite fishing hole near Cripple Creek, Colorado. The aspens were glowing gold against the azure blue sky and reflected on the emerald waters below. Puffs of little white clouds danced by, propelled by a soft breeze that mixed the brisk mountain air with a fresh pine scent. The sun warmed our necks as we relished the sound of little fishies splishing and splashing about. Hi Ti...

How to Get a Horse Fix on Poncha Pass | Cabin Mama

How to Get a Horse Fix on Poncha Pass. I’ve been horse-crazy since I was a kid. With long blonde hair, I pretended to be a Palomino. And my bedroom was full of plastic horse figurines. (They were collectibles, ya know.). When we went to our Camp as kids, my sisters and I would gallop stick horses through the pines, whinnying and tossing our manes. We’d even snort, paw the ground and rear up on our hind legs. I took my horse fix any way I could get it! We rode through meadows with wildflowers, tall stands...

Black Forest Wildfire Part 3. So we were homeless. And now, all of a sudden, the wait was over and there was so much to do. I had to call my other children and let them know the house was gone. I called the insurance company and filed a claim. I had to get organized. I had to find housing. We needed clothes. I had to contact the phone and cable companies. Where would our mail end up? Would my clients be okay if I postponed their work? Did I have to cancel garbage pickup or would that be obvious?

Black Forest Wildfire Part Two. Are you wondering what’s taken me so long to finish the story about the wildfire. The problem was, I didn’t quite know how to say what needed to be written. I knew it would be an emotionally draining process, so I put it off. And it has been grueling to write about it. Was his store okay? What about the old Community Center and the Log Schoolhouse? I kept up with people on Facebook. Thank God I had taken my computer out of the house with us. It was a lifeline. Laura’...

Black Forest Wildfire Part Four. It’s hard to believe so much time has passed. It’s now been 20 months since the 2013 Black Forest Wildfire killed two people, burned over 14,000 acres and destroyed 507 homes, including our 1924 log cabin home. Wildfire burning behind my brother’s business, consuming our cabin. As the flames engulf where our house once stood. Video. So, let me catch you up on the story. I took advantage of the offer for volunteers from Samaritan’s Purse. They encouraged Mom and I to sit b...
