Barnraising #15: Catalogs! Starting Right NOW?

Now, I just mentioned that she moved the barn as well.....one of her goals is to create awareness in people to not be so wasteful - to make use of the resources we already have, and to be aware of the footprint we are leaving behind on the environment. Falling in with that goal, instead of allowing the barn to be torn down and destroyed, it has made the journey to the new location as well, albeit in pieces, which now need to be put back together.My goal in setting up this campaign is to give a helping hand in reassembling the barn - to give a boost to helping her realize the dream of giving new life to an old structure, and creating the warm welcoming atmosphere of the old barn in a new and amazing location on the new land. The barn has been a refuge for many students/clients over the years, and I cannot recall one person, whether they were horse people or not, who could walk into that barn and not appreciate what a beautiful structure it was, in both appearance and the feeling of welcome.

I really want to see that barn go back together and continue to provide a haven for people from the stresses of life - to prvide a place they can remember how to breath and to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life.In the midst of the move, and while taking a close look at her business and goals, Karen has developed a Mission Statement, which I feel sums up her and her goals very well:To create a refuge which allows people, through working with horses, to develop an awareness of themselves and their environment, creating an inner peace which allows a deeper understanding of how to effect positive change in their livesI really want to help her achieve her goals, which in turn will help many people around her, and appreciate any help or good will anybody is willing to extend.
