7 things - mom has been tagged

Mom has been tagged by Leann - a bit tricky but very fun! Thanks for that!

SEVEN THINGS TO DO BEFORE I DIE

1. Get married – B; I am still waiting...
2. Compete at Landsmot – World Championship competition in Icelandic Horses.
3. Breed the greatest stallion ever – yeah, it is never forbidden to wish huh?
4. Give birth to 3 children. One more left... phu!
5. Travel to Australia and New Zeeland
6. Go cowboy riding in US
7. Have an art exhibition. Love painting and art crafts but give it too less time. When retired I will have my own studio...

SEVEN THINGS I CANNOT DO
1. Get a sea diving license. Too afraid of sharks
2. Travel to the moon
3. Run a marathon – too boring and I will give up after a short while. As my father say: I know how to run so I don’t need any further practice.
4. Fix car problems – too boring and why do it when I have a man to do it for me?
5. Accept lies or corruption
6. Get younger – all have to accept getting older
7. Be a model on the Paris Catwalk – would never manage to be skinny and is not that tall.

SEVEN THINGS THAT (WILL) ATTRACT ME TO MY (FIGURE) SPOUSE (SIGNIFICANT OTHER, ETC.)
1. Spiritual Gloria – the Gloria that makes him have THAT little extra
2. Sense of Humour
3. Honesty
4. Good in practical things – so I don’t need to do them LOL
5. A horse whisper
6. Interesting thoughts
7. Be a good father

SEVEN THINGS I SAY MOST OFTEN
1. My little sweetie
2. Do not touch. Little Sweetie loves to do things she is not allowed to do. Must be from her dad...
3. Hi honey – how are you? ... When I interrupt him at work several times a day.
4. Stop it... to the horses...
5. Good boy – to the horses again...
6. Good night honey – I love you.
7. **** Copy from Leann – my company name.

SEVEN BOOKS I LOVE
· All by Paolo Cohelo. This brazil writer who books, translated into 56 languages, have not only topped the bestseller lists, but have gone on to become the subject of social and cultural debate. The ideas, philosophy and subject matter covered in his books touch the aspirations of millions of readers searching for their own path and for new ways of understanding the world. For mention some of them The Alchemist – about this shepherd who begins a journey to find out about his treasure. Indicated to every one to follow its dreams and that it very often ends by finding your treasure where you once started. Eleven Minutes – I know, its about a prostitute while she has some real interesting thoughts about what real love is about. Veronica decides to die – a corrupt situation about a girls attempt to a suicide.She did not succeed however it damages her heart and it gives her only a couple of days more to live. I still can’t decide if I liked the complete no expecting ending or not while it gives you a great journey in finding the truth and meaning of life. By the river Piedra I sat down and wept – this book grabbed me at exactly at the right time when I realized a work carrier is not the top of everything in life and that you are nothing without a family.
· Helen Fielding – this English journalist who has become an icon after publishing Bridget Jones diary and Bridget Jones – the edge of reason.
· All by Astrid Lindgren – This fairytales writer about Lina Longstocking, Emil in Katthult, and Madicken... you name them all. I read them when I was a child; I now read them for my child. A shame she did not get the Nobel price before she died.

SEVEN MOVIES I WATCH OVER AND OVER
1. Bridget Jones. Mom once said to me – I have realized you passion for Bridget because she is a copy of you (or was – I assume I have left my bad smoking, drinking and love stories habits behind and become a good mom and wife LOL)
2. James Bond – God I will miss Pierce Brosnan as Bond
3. The Thomas Crown Affair – same actor and gosh still very handsome! Renee Russo is also perfect in this and makes even a jetlagged Monday morning glamorous. Love her clothes in this movie!
4. Disney’s Christmas Greetings on Christmas – same program has been in the Swedish TV for over 40 years! It is a MUST to see yearly.
5. The Six Senses – I have never been a fan of Bruce Willis and here he overwhelmed me in this dramatic and fantastic movie.
6. Jägarna – "the Hunters" a Swedish movie with very much of north sense of humour and dramatic.

7. Monsters Inc, Shrek and Shark Tale – yeah I know its 3 but I love the characters in all 3 and could not decide which one to chose.

Thanks for playing along Maria.

I've read the book Eleven Minutes and it's very interesting. It definetly gives a different perspective to live doens't it?

I really like Bridget Jones Diaries also.

A horse whisperer huh? Have you seen the movie with Robert Redford?

Yes I have seen it and read the book too. Book is much better than the movie though...

Truly, we are talking about horse whispering very often, well, professionals rather prefer call it "natural horsemanship" where horse whispering is one part.

The theory is very simple and clear. You are "the Alfa" - in animals world this is the leader. Wolf, dogs, and wild horses they all have an Alfa leader who takes care of herd or flock. If you learn how your horse work it is quite simple to communicate with it. You see in the eyes and body language how your horse is feeling and what it wants.

Just like dogs can communicate with body language and assume you are also communicating with your cat, right?

Yes, it makes perfect sense to me. You either "connect" with animals or you don't. It's a part of your soul.
