Dear Cowgirl,   Do you ever doubt that you will be good enough?   Enough of a woman. Enough of a parent. Enough of a sibling. Enough of a good companion. Enough of a life partner. Enough of a wife, girlfriend, employee, reader, worrier, worker, dreamer…   Will you ever be ENOUGH to be “that”...

Dear Cowgirl,   Start with $5.  Put it aside.  In a savings account, and do not touch it. Then, add another $5.   You have $10 now. If you do not touch it, and you continue to add, soon you will have $50. Then $100. Then $500. It doesn’t take too long to reach $1000. ...
