Dear Cowgirl, Stop Settling

June 27, 2020
Dear Cowgirl, Stop settling. For God’s sake. Stop saying yes to things you hate, dates you don’t want and jobs that you’re not fired up about clocking into. Stop wearing clothes that don’t make you feel like yourself, living in towns that don’t excite you and buying cheap bras. Seriously. That is B.S. and will...

Dear Cowgirl, Don't be scared.

Dear Cowgirl, I hear the words ring out with certainty. “We have kids! We could never like, LEAVE.” “I’d love to go on an adventure, but you know. School. And, rent. And…uh…well.” “WHAT IF I BROKE DOWN?!” The last one really was said. It took me back to burying my blue truck to the axel...

Dear Cowgirl, I am thankful.

Dear Cowgirl, The power wouldn’t turn on this morning. which meant no coffee. The truck is dirty and beginning to break down again. AGAIN. I spilled blueberry smoothie down my white button down, which is what I get for trying to eat healthy while on the go. My sister is ill, and i’m terrified every...

Dear Cowgirl, Today is the day

Dear Cowgirl, Today is the day. Today is the day that you will wake-up and conquer the demons. Today is the day that you leave the hurts behind. Today is the day that you stop letting “them” tell you how to live, and you start doing what you know is right. It can be the...

Dear Cowgirl, You're only a young girl

Dear Cowgirl,   You’re only a pre-teen, a teenager. A young girl. Please, please do not let others bring you down.   You are at a point in your life when everything in this world can feel like it’s out to get you, like it’s all crashing down.   You are at a point when...

Dear Cowgirl, be true to your wild self

Dear Cowgirl,   It’s ok to still believe Zane Grey novel endings. It’s okay to want to make meals for branding crews and not long for the big city. It’s okay to wear worn moccasins instead of heels and dance till the barn dirt swirls.   It’s okay to look forward to days spent on...

Dear Cowgirl, You Are Beautiful

Dear Cowgirl, This is a reminder that all women have love handles. We all have a secret pair of jeans in the back of the closet that we keep “just for when” we loose that extra weight.   All women have bad breath in the morning, messy hair and left over mascara on their cheeks...

Dear Cowgirl, who you are is just right

Dear Cowgirl, Did you ever wake up one morning and realize that you were the girl you always wanted to be? Maybe right in this moment there are things you would like to change. Maybe your weight, maybe your love life, maybe your education, maybe your family or relationships are not exactly what you would...

Dear Cowgirl, you matter too

Dear cowgirl, Just because you don’t know what the other people know doesn’t mean you don’t belong there. You belong, whether you’re a beginner. A seasoned vet or a intermediate-semi-comfortable semi-freaked out participator.     Just because some folks talk louder, push harder or try to take over doesn’t mean that you aren’t capable. Just...
