Hi I have just sent you a comment, but then read your blog, its beautiful. And I want to say I feel the same many times and I have come to realise that for me a need a purpose that is greater than me, to fulfill that empty feeling. I found that recently when i went to Sri Lanka and set up a project, however I lost belief that I can do it. Therefore I have come to know that it is first important to take time to become who you want to be, and then take action towards what you want in your heart, then you can have what you desire. Ask your heart what you truly want and go for it! Take care

Please see my new website at: GinGetz.com. Not a very creative name, but easy to remember. I’m finally getting my own website together which will continue long after I leave this mountain. I hope you’ll join me there and continue on the journey with me.
Our home and guest ranch can be viewed at the Lost Trail Ranch web site.
Forrest’s blog on riding (probably snowmobiles, not horses…) in the high mountains is called Highcountry Hillbillies (I love the name).
My “other” blog, High Mountain Horse, is all about our horses, riding (yes, horses…), outfitting, horse training and our work and experiences horseback in the high mountains.
Some other sites I enjoy visiting over a cup of coffee:
J. Ruth Kelly’s Blog, Weaving Worlds of Words Awakening . . . Thoughtful, wonderful writing.
Julian’s White Horse Pilgrim. His words may be about horses, trains, the beautiful world around him, or the sadness of his past, but always, always his words sing.
I must be growing up (finally) and realizing such strength and inspriation in my fellow WOmen. Check out Ann Daly’s blog.
Maggie Mae Farm, Sustainable, Eco Friendly Farming. Feeling the land, for the land. Feels like a friend…
Juli Thorson’s Horse Talk. A familiar face in horse industry that always makes us feel welcome.
Girl on a Mountain with a Chicken. One very brave chick with a chicken.
Bliss Bait. OK, so I can’t quite describe what it’s about, but it makes me smile, and who doesn’t need a reason to smile?
Reggie’s Grains of Sand. A new friend I just found all the way over in South Africa! As in love with her land as I am with mine.
Wendy’s Horse Adventures. More horse talk. All the way from Vermont, but feels as close as my kitchen table.
Sandy’s American Way Farm. Living the good life on the land in New Hampshire.
There are so many inspiring, entertaining and enjoyable blogs out there. If you have a site you’d like to share, or one you enjoy keeping up with, please send me your suggestions. I’m not much of a blogger in the sense that there are few I keep up with well enough (no matter how I care… and I often do) though I know the importance of sharing and sending the word for others interested and growing and reaching out. And to all you bloggers – and you readers – please don’t forget the importance, relavance and reward in comments. Blogging is a converstaion – and two ways is far more fun than one. That’s why we share. Please take a minute and leave a note. If you’re having trouble posting a comment, or would rather keep your response personal and private, feel free to e-mail me directly at highmountainmuse@gmail.com.
Warmly,
Gin Getz

Beth, you have a wonderful way of writing, and of looking at the world. I have heard that we can not help others until we help ourselves. Perhaps. But maybe, in helping others, we learn to help ourselves in the process. Don’t lose belief in yourself. Just keep trying. Perhaps closer to home than Sri Lanka (that sounds so far – you are brave), but wherever you find your next challenge. Nothing is a failure. Just a test.

OMG! Thanks so much for putting me in your links! It may seem a simple thing, but I
m so jazzed to be there! Yay! I’ve been feeling quite alone out there, as I don’t really understand all the “linky stuff” to do. Thank you, thank you!

I look at the Links list as sort of my “to do” list – it’s my way of keeping track of sites I want to return to. I try to spend at least a few minutes each day reading, getting inspired, learning from others. Not a bad few minutes spent…

Your life remids me of all the books I read growing up…my favorite author was Louis L’Amour. He wrote so many books about the west and did a series on a family called the “Sackett’s”.
I read all his books…you and your family remind me of people he would write about. That is a compliment.

LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog! We are fairly new to the mountains, having completed a house in Angel Fire, NM just over a year ago. Granted, it’s not like living in a cabin and learning how to live off-grid, but it has certainly been a learning experience coming from a town outside of Dallas, Tx and adjusting to living in the southern Rockies! Lots of new things to experience and figure out…hopefully, I can share some of that on my blog. I am using YOUR BLOG as inspiration to be a better writer, and to share things that MATTER! Thanks so much!

Hey Gin,
I think it’s so cool to be mentioned on your site. 
I’m glad you like visiting my blog, and I’ll keep visiting yours too. And it’s fun to look at other people’s favourite blogs too, so thank you for the list!
Cheers for now!

Thanks to you, I have some fun new blogs to read (in my spare time?) especially Girl on a Mountain with a Chicken. Didn’t see “Honey Rock Dawn” there, but it’s right up your alley. I am compiling my years living in a mountain valley between two Arizona Wilderness areas called “Five Year Wild”
Keep writing, your words are beautiful.

Thanks, Kerry. And you’re our new found “girl on a mesa.” Glad to meet you and look forward to keeping in touch. As I wrote to you on your site, I look forward to the chance to “share stories like the wind that blows from your mesa to my mountain.” Also meant to recommend to you two magazines (to read in that lack of spare time?)High Country News & Orion.

Thanks Gin, I love those magazines too; I don’t know why I forgot to put them on. I just started the links page, so I have a way to go. Loving the journey, Kerry
