Hi everyone!
Is anyone more uncomfortable then I when it comes to talking about ones self?

I had a wonderful job nearly 20 years ago., that I loved and I was good at it and of course, I made a ton of money. I intended to keep it until they told me I had to leave lol! Oh, the plans we make in our youth when nothing could ever go wrong after all the world is our oyster and life can only be a grand thing that will go on being good right? I jumped out of perfectly good planes just because I liked the rush for five minutes as I plundered to earth really fast. LOL I did it all took all the risks I could find. Then one day I thought after seeing a horrible site while riding my horse. I honestly believed I would likely never get over what I saw. We understand that man can be very crewel to man, but I will never get how man can be crewel to a helpless animals. I only thought I had seen the worse that day. sadly I could not have known how horribly wrong that assumption would turn out to be.This was about a horse and a dog the owner thought they had given the horse away a long time ago Well yea he would forget to feed the dog but hey he was to fat anyway, he thought that was very funny. This was the beginning of collecting animals both big and small fixing them up and finding them good homes, which I would write a contract with the new family members giving me permission to drop by at any time with out warning and I did just that. I collected over 100 horses three pony's 19 dogs and 147 cats before my good will came to a crashing end along with my job. I was retraining a horse I had been on a half dozen times This horse had been horribly mistreated, and he was beginning to show signs of all he had endured turning him mean or at the very least not stable enough to let a young girl adopt him as I had hoped. Once the pressure was on him to perform he totally blue his cork he went lethal and there was no recovery once he flipped his switch he not only dumped us both on the ground with his 1200 pounds on me, in 60 seconds my life changed forever, it could have been all over and I totally thought it was. My back was broken, and I had a 1200 horse coming after me for all the wrong he suffered I need to make a very long upsetting story much shorter. 4 back surgeries later, and a lot of bad doctors through the years, Telling me I would never walk again, It took me 10 years to do it but I am walking, not without pain, not far, but I am walking. I am in terrible pain nearly all the time. Some times the law allows me to not suffer and sometimes it don't. But I am alive and I still see this as a real good thing. I make Jewelry because it makes me feel good and I think I am good at it. I make a lot of items which I share with many websites. I still have yet to sell much on any of them as I seem to attract the window shoppers but hey it's all traffic and that spells hope. I am looking around now for a service dog that I can train to wake me up when I fall asleep doing things that can hurt me. My poor husband can't stay awake constantly. He is a wonderful man though and I am one lucky lady to have found him on a dating website 5 years ago. We have been happily married for nearly 4 years now. That is the life and loves of Dana Carlin.
