    Enjoy your birthday celebration, Zenyatta! Hope you get to share a “facetime” visit with your birthday colt, Ziconic — it’s his birthday, too! Hoping for another filly or colt to share this special day with you.

    Happy Birthday Zenyatta!!! I love you, my Dear Queen, and I’m wishing you a most wonderful birthday today! Thanks so very much to all of Team Z for sharing this foal watch blog post with us and these wonderful photos! The look on Zenyatta’s face seems to say she is ready for the foal to be here. It is beautiful that she is in a caring environment, with dedicated people, to live in her retirement and have her foals and share her days with paddock friends. It lifts my heart to know they are always watching over her and taking care of her needs. I like the new comfort padding roll on the top of her halter and hope it feels good to her – at this stage of pregnancy so many things can be downright irritating to say the least. Thank you again for sharing Zenyatta with those of us who love her from afar. Prayers and good wishes for a safe, easy foaling and healthy mom and baby!!

    After all that you have contributed I can only hope YOU are happy and are enjoying your life.

    Wishing you a very Happy Birthday with many, many more to enjoy. All the very best to you Zenny in the coming year.

    With so much love.

    APRIL

    FLOWER MONTH

    TSI LAW ‘NEE

    Change is a way of life-the seasons tell us so. Yet nothing shakes us like change. Though we may expect it and sometimes even want it, more often we dread it. We dread change because we fear it-we do not think change can be for the better. Things happen that we would never have asked for. We respond by saying, “If only I’d done this” or “If only I hadn’t done that.” We cannot change what has happened, but we can change how we handle it in our own hearts. We may need to forgive ourselves-or we may need to forgive someone else. If someone needs forgiving, forgive, for heaven’s sake, forgive. To be free and at ease once again, we need desperately to release the baggage we have been dragging. It is all we can do.

    Great Spirit…made the world to change…so birds and animals can move and always have green grass and ripe berries.

    Kyle, the photos are great. Happy to see Charles there. Lots of love coming through in them. Love the one of Mrs. Moss and Z’s paddock mate.
