Day 17: Jacque Gellein
What do you do for a living?
I work with horses.
What do you do to feel alive?
I think I always feel alive. I have a great sense of the natural world around us – that’s where I feel that sense of joy of being alive most continuously. Also when I really recognize the wonder in each of the people in my life that I love.
