Recently I’ve become more ‘environmentally conscience.’ Let me clarify that for everyone, I am not a tree-hugging greenie. I prefer a more practical than radical approach. Doing my part in small ways can add up significantly and make a difference in our natural resources.
Several years ago I was buying two rolls of paper towels per month. On one of my supply forays to Target I forgot to buy them. Rather than go back I pulled out the cloth kitchen towels and kept two hanging within reach (...)
Unexpected blessings are the best! Linda Lael Miller, author of the McKettrick Series among others, is sending an advance copy of her newest book, A Creed Country Christmas, to be released in November. I will be reading this Christmas novel, a part of the Creed Series, and reviewing it for WOW readers. I'm also delighted that Linda is taking a gander at Women Out West Magazine! WOW what a great opportunity. Thanks Linda, for your thoughtfulness and for your kind interest.
This was written by a friend of mine earlier this summer. I thought it was worthy of sharing for those of us who are making strides toward change in life and attitude! Thanks Hal.
How to Improve What You See - By Hal Seed
The human eye is a neutral instrument. Instant by instant it transmits unfiltered data to your brain. Where you focus determines what you see.

But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldnt even afford t(...)
.........In digging through some history I discovered an interesting tidbit of information.Dale Evans wrote the song, “Happy Trails”, in 1950.It seems that every cowboy had his own theme song that would play as he rode off into the sunset while the dust settled. (...)
Why has the icon of the cowboy lasted for over 150 years and what, exactly, does the cowboy stand for in today’s society?
Cowboys are heroic, not because they do heroic deeds but because they represent honor, loyalty, truthfulness and courage. Cowboys are a source of inspiration from our history and that image still speaks to us today. We can’t, however, legislate morality. Beware of the imposter. In a world where it is relatively easy to mimic that which we admire, it’s easy to be du(...)
It was a beautiful July day warm and sunny. I could smell the sun through the warm pines left and right. The area around Fairplay, CO is lovely in the summer. I don’t much care to drive it in the winter, but I digress.
I stopped and got gas, visited a cute little shop and walked the dogs then continued on my journey. Soon they started to appear. Those annoying highway cones that block off miles and miles of lanes for no apparent reason. WHY IS THAT? How many times have I driven d(...)
