Sometimes the greatest victories
are won through courage,
sacrifice, pain & sorrow,
Don’t give up hope in the
midst of your storm
Be thankful for your yesterdays,
todays & tomorrows

Ultimately, decided to take the advice I was given regarding this blog, and not retire it (as you can see) I did have a pretty sweet break & am actually very refreshed.
I’ll just write when I have the most time, highest energy & best inspiration.
A rodeo man holding on with everything he’s got
Never letting on for a minute that his stomach is in knots
Trying to finish w/a good score & just make it out alive
all the while he can hear
& feel his heart pounding inside,
Then comes the next show & another wild ride

America’s forefathers
were never the timid type
We only have a country now,
because they were men
of substance and spine
They literally faced down tyranny,
they refused to toe the line
By: J.N.R Dutton
When we describe courage, we use phrases like “having a spine”
One way we define it, is as having strength to confront what frightens us
If we could do it all the time, then it wouldn’t be extraordinary
We’ve all got things that are scary, like for me there’s heights, flights, fire,
and snakebites, just to name a few…
What haunts your mind, what are your issues?
Tell the truth & finally, tell me of a time
Your capacity for courage surprised you
By: J.N.R Dutton
Sometimes it takes
walking through darkness
To appreciate the light
Losing a battle to get up
the will to fight
Knowing the brutality
of wrong to finally
stand up for what’s right
