I crave that heady 4 am feeling The whisper of history through aspens  When the fall breezes hit Before it’s time to hit the road again I see the cheap sticky truck stop cafe seats  Where all the songs are written In a ratty fur coat And pink plastic sunglasses The ones with the rhinestones...

Stop saying “it’s ok” and “I’m satisfied” You’re not satisfied and you know it.   Stop letting yourself off the hook.   You can...

Dear Cowgirl, More traveling the world, less Target runs. Rock the solo excursion to places you love. You don’t have to travel in a pack. Wear the ridiculous bright outfit you’ve been dying to put on for months, but haven’t had the guts to rock yet. More dummy-roping-dates. Less screen time and more family time....
