      "What you leave behind is not what is engraved

      in stone monuments, but what

      is woven into the lives of others."

      — Pericles

      I’ve always been accused of being too sensitive and at times, too emotional. I did my best to apologize and change who I am and then one day I realized, I am who I am, and I am good.

      There is nothing wrong with me that a little love won’t fix, and there is nothing wrong with you either. Just because some people think you should be different, doesn’t mean you should.

      I didn’t plan to write a book, and I am a writer. I write when I see and feel things and that is just about every day. It’s an outlet for me, and I have found that many people enjoy my writing and my thoughts about life. I didn’t write for others. I wrote for myself. It was a way of healing and getting out my feelings that were screaming to be let loose.

      Even as a little girl who was raised by a single father, I found solace in writing poetry and short stories. It was my way of escaping to another place—outside the place I grew up. It was my way of expressing thoughts that were not allowed to be expressed—because of me. I held back what I thought and saw because I didn’t want to hurt my daddy. He was doing his best to raise three children and although he could have done better, he did the best he could with the tools he had.

      As a consultant to CEOs and executives, I have been privileged to observe behaviors in people and teams through the workshops and conferences I facilitated. At the end of those observations, we set out to discuss Lessons Learned and how we could apply them in our business and personal worlds.

      It’s become so much a part of me that I spend every day wondering and watching for the lessons learned to show up. And they do every day. Every day!

      This book, Lessons Learned on the Ranch, was compiled during my stay on a 10,000 acre, stunningly beautiful mountainous ranch just a few minutes outside Cody, Wyoming. I went there to consult with a rancher and to find peace after a difficult divorce to the man of my youth for 38 years. This consulting project gave me time to leave the big city of Jacksonville, Florida and venture West to get away, work and learn new lessons.

      I hope you’ll enjoy the lessons I learned on the ranch. Ranch life is tough. Ranch life is fun. Ranch life is America at its core! We city dwellers could do ourselves a big favor by taking a break once a year and go West to reclaim our spirit and recharge our batteries…and…learn a few lessons about life too.

      Enjoy! God bless you, and God bless America.

      I’m a novice at shooting guns. I don’t think I’m very good at it, but I’m working on it and getting more comfortable with this new experience in my life.

      Guns were not a part of my life but a major life change, changed all that.

      A few years ago, I was encouraged to learn how to shoot so I could defend myself after becoming single for the first time in 38 years.

      I was shooting at a gun range and those pictures were posted on social media. A friend noticed the pictures and called me. She asked why I decided to take up this new hobby and I told her of my recent divorce. She listened to my story and then she popped the question that would change my life:

      Would you like to be in a reality show about Women and Guns in America?

      My reply, What?

      My friend stated, I’m producing a pilot for a reality show about women and guns. Each episode will focus on how or why each woman became involved with firearms. There is one woman who was raped. Another one was raised with them from a young age. Another one is a sharpshooter. I think your story will inspire other women to not fear firearms and not fear changes in their life story at the same time.

      I laughed at her invitation, because I didn’t think I was qualified or good enough to be in her pilot. But, she convinced me otherwise, and she reminded me that I had a story to tell about my broken heart and the life changes I was facing. Life changes I didn’t want to face but had to.

      So I said yes, when I wanted to say no.

      The pilot was filmed at Monster Lake Ranch in Cody, Wyoming.

      Cody, Wyoming is the home to real cowboys and cowgirls. It’s a sleepy town during the winter but during the summer, it is filled
