Cowgirl Gets Back Up Time and Lyme Perspective. In my life on earth I’ve noticed that time and perspective heal a lot of things if I give it a chance. Now it’s a year after I first sought help for the debilitating symptoms. Three months after my diagnosis. Two months after the completion of […]

Last Saturday I found my tribe. I took Cowgirl-Red to Woodward Oklahoma for a Women’s Ranch Rodeo. It was sponsored by the 1000 Hills Ranch Church. They put on western events throughout the year, but this one is very dear to my heart. These are my home girls. My tribe. These are 4-woman teams of real […]
