Brenda's Story

Life I currently am a Licensed Cemetery Manager and Family Service Counselor. I have been working at my cemetery for 22 years now, however I did take time off to be at home with my babies when they were little. I am a working mother and wife. I definitely know how to juggle my hectic schedule. I have given birth to (3) children. My children are my life. We have 4 horses, 3 dogs and many other critters. <3 We have 2 acres of land for our horses and still live close enough to my mom's house to visit the beach. Mom still has the house I grew up in so I go home frequently. My roots are there in that house, by the beach. I love my life and I am very blessed and thankful. I wish to all, anyone reading this, to have a wonderfully blessed day. May you and your family have many days of happiness and peace. God Bless, Bren *************************************** Dreams do come true. When I was young I always dreamed of becoming a jockey. Though I grew too tall to become a jockey, I trained my horse to race around barrels and obstacles at a very fast, balls out speed, to be quite frank. :o) My family didn't believe that I had such a desire to fulfill this lifelong dream until I moved myself away from the love of my life, the ocean. Horses were my second love, so I made it happen, trained my own horse and made Hall of Fame on her. We made Hall of Fame racing for speed around obstacles in the California Gymkhana Association. My horses name is Drum's Autumn Lace and she is my beautiful mare pictured in my photos. God has saved my life. I am grateful!! So instead of becoming a jockey, I now ride my horses, really really fast around turns, obstacles, barrels, in which is a major adrenaline rush!! With this said, I am a rider on the back of a horse, hauling ass, racing against the clock, to keep the run clean, fast and with attempt to get the fastest time. I LOVE IT!!!. I have property in which I can have the horses in my back yard. I never imagined life could turn out so amazing. Life is good. All of the glory be to GOD! I will forever be grateful for my accomplishments and dream catching. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TO RELAX, I go to the beach and take a deep breath of the fresh salt air. I spend time with God there. If I can't get to the beach, I take a hot jacuzzi bath with soft music and candles. If not in a bath mood, I spend time in the yard with my children and horses, goats, chickens, dogs and all of our crew. I pet my horse. God inspires me in everything that I do. *************************************** Dolphins I love dolphins, I have a tatoo of them on my lower back. Everytime I go to the beach, I enjoy them swimming along the shore, along side me, while I walk, jog, bike or skate. I feel that there is a definite connection with God at the beach. I feel that He blesses me with their presence each time I go there. I feel one with them in the water. I LOVE THE BEACH! ************************************* If I am upset about something, or stressed in life I pray and ask God to get me through whatever is upsetting me. Quotations Jesus said, " If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before My Father." " If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best!" God will never giv...Expand for more
e us more than we can handle. I am holding on to this one, always! Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. MEAN PEOPLE SUCK! God is #1. My passion is racing around obstacles on my horse. I am in love with life and I am so thankful to God for my beautiful children. THERE IS NOTHING ENLIGHTENING ABOUT SHRINKING SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WON'T FEEL INSECURE AROUND YOU. I DO NOT DESIRE THE APPROVAL OF ANYONE. GOD'S OPINION IS ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME. A HUMAN'S OPINION HAS ABSOLUTELY NO MERIT. WE CANNOT CONTROL ONE'S OPINION. WE CAN CONTROL OUR OWN CHARACTER, WHICH WILL SPEAK LOUDER THAN ANY SINGLE WORD OF UNTRUTH SPOKEN ABOUT US FROM A PERSON WITH A LOW ESTEEM CHARACTER. I MAKE IT MY DAILY PRACTICE TO RISE ABOVE, TO TAKE THE HIGHER ROAD, TO NEVER FALL INTO DRAMA. LIFE IS HAPPIEST TO SMILE AND TO BE A KIND LOVING PERSON. HATERS ONLY HATE BECAUSE THEY ARE UNHAPPY WITH THEIR LIFE AND THEY ARE ENVIOUS. I am very blessed to have such a beautiful family. I was born and raised in Torrance, California. I grew up near Rolling Hills/Palos Verdes where I would watch horses go by on the path. In seeing the horses so much, I just knew that I HAD TO OWN A horse someday. This would be my mission. All through high school, I worked many hours, every day at a gym ( The Sports Connection) and saved every penny. By the time I was 20, I had enough saved to buy my first house. ( Horse property) I bought my first horse exactly 1 month after moving in. This was in 1989. I have owned horses ever since. I am living my dream and I still wake up every morning in awe of my life. I owe all of this to God. I truly feel that God has blessed me so much, so I dedicate my life to Him. I belong to Him. After years of hard work with my horses, my one in particular, I trained her from a two year old and years later made Hall of Fame with her in the Organization ( CALIFORNIA GYMKHANA ASSOCIATION). My greatest accomplishment thus far however has nothing to do with horses. I am a mother of three beautiful children. They all make me so very proud and I breathe for them. The are all doing so well in school and are very well mannered respectful little people. I thank God for them every day, all day, always!! I am also so very grateful for my career. I love my job and I honestly love going to work. If I take a day off, I actually miss work. Go figure, but I do. It is my little home away from home. ( I am a Licensed Cemetery Manager at a beautiful location in the rolling hills of Palmdale.) I firmly believe that we shall always forgive those who do bad things to us, or those who may hurt our feelings. However, with this said, we should not forget. We should pray for their shortcomings, to stay focused and remember that we ourselves are not perfect either. We all make mistakes, but the key is to learn from them, not to dwell on them. God Forgives, God is Love. I try to only surround myself and family with people whom are positive. Negative people will suck the life out of anyone. Remember to smile always. Smiling is therapeutic. In closing, have a most beautifully blessed day. In His Love, Brenda <3
