“Dreamers of the Day are Dangerous, for they may act upon their Dreams with open eyes to make them Possible!” — TE Lawrence
A decade ago, The Cowgirl Manifesto set forth on a journey, not just as a blog, but as a spark of inspiration igniting hearts across the nation. Its purpose is to propel individuals towards lives that radiate their finest selves.
As the guardian of The Cowgirl Manifesto’s voice, my aspiration is to kindle conversations that illuminate pathways to a Life Excellently Lived. The cowgirl and cowboy spirit resides inherently within every soul. It’s a resilient force that, even when unknown, carries the strength to navigate the toughest life tests – a truth I’ve come to know intimately. The philosophy is simple: chase your dreams unceasingly, persevere against all odds, find joy in your own follies, as much as you do others, and commit wholeheartedly to nurturing self-value, spirit, empathy, humility, and soul.
Whether your days have been embraced by urban landscapes or wide open pastures, the thread of kinship binds us all.
So Cheers!
Here’s to dancing in the rain, having fun, getting dirty with your best friends, knowing when and when not….to act like a Lady, and realizing that you wouldn’t have it any other way.

I like your blog. You posted a story about the Glen Rose accident – Karen Wyatt’s horse ASH. Karen and I went to junior high school – HS together. I made a Tribute Video for her. The ink is below, if you would like to post to your page and blog.
Thank you for sharing. I posted it on the “Hundreds of Hearts Breaking” post.
I like you’re blog. I like that you actually do interviews and research. I share a passion for horses, barrel racing, and life. Thank you for sharing your story with love and courage.
