Focusing on the Positives

Last week we had an earthquake in Victoria that measured 5.6 on the Richter scale. It was something else to focus on amidst the consistent theme of COVID-19. I am thankful we had no damage to our home and no one we know appears to have gotten hurt. The kids were surprised but don’t appear to have been negatively impacted by the event; another thing to be thankful for.

It’s really easy when you’re stuck in a situation that you may feel you have very little say over, to focus on what you can’t do or shouldn’t do.

Although things aren’t as we’d expected for 2021, there are many things I am thankful for: healthy children, the ability to do a job I love from home, the chance to use applications to regularly exercise from home, a husband who invests so much time in our children. What are you thankful for?

Now in some horse books and writing news, I’d love to share with you a recent review that I wrote on Equus Education for Tara Coyote’s book Grace, Grit and Gratitude. Head along to my horse careers blog to check it out.

I’m currently (re)reading The Silver Brumby by Elyne Mitchell and reading Runaway Alex by Natalie Keller Reinert. I’ll review this one on Equus Education once it’s finished.

In author goal news, I hit a target for number of page reads on Kindle Unlimited this month. I was rapt! 743 pages of my books read in one day 😀 That was last week. This week, another day hit 1290 page reads! Very exciting.

In social media news, I’ve started doing something with my Instagram account. If you’re a visual person who loves stories told with photos and uses IG, I encourage you to head along to https://www.instagram.com/christinemeunierauthor. My posts will generally be focused on horses, horses books, travel, education, music and my faith – see you there!
