“Devotions” - Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.” The light flows from their branches. And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say, “and you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.” When… Read More »

We go back to school next week. So, this week the Cowkids are getting up early and going to bed on time. We do homeschool all summer so that’s not too much of a change, but having to be up early and use their brains right away HAS been rough. 😂 Captain isn’t too worried about it though!
I spent some more time today at the Joint Judiciary Committee Meeting and while I didn’t originally have any intention of testifying, I ended up taking a few moments to share my thoughts and feelings about what I had heard from other citizens…In the end the outcome wasn’t what I had hoped, but that in itself is an important lesson.
It may have been months since we’ve seen each other, and we had to plan this coffee date weeks ago…but I’m so grateful for the time we had together today @sabrinaspearsevents 🥰 I am always inspired by our time together, and appreciate your practical and candid advice! 👏 #cheeringforyoualways
Back to school shopping ✅ done! I had the Cowkids show me@how they’re feeling about starting school next week. Looks like Cowgirl G is the only one who is excited. Watch out @uofwyoming she’s ready to go!
“Many of you know that my mother, Julie Fitzsimons, was killed while lawfully crossing a marked crosswalk in downtown Sheridan. What you may not know is that eleven months before, the driver was convicted of DUI, after crashing his car while drunk on South Sheridan Avenue. He was still on probation for that DUI the day he killed her. He was sentenced on May 29 to 60 days. A repeat offender got less time for taking a life on our roads than kids get for summer break...
We can’t undo what’s already been lost. But we can decide what the law does the next time - and there will be a next time. Like all of you, I want Wyoming ready when another family needs this law.”
Thankful for the opportunity to sit and support @kategladdin as she testified in front of the judiciary committee today. Head to her social media to learn more about her story, and follow her so you’re ready when she lets Wyoming know it’s time to get sending those emails and making those calls! #bettertogether
@wyophotobooth for the win at last night’s @ireach2inc event!
I have to be honest, I was in love with dress number one from the try on video…but you all CLEARLY wanted dress 2 so that’s what I’m wearing for tonight’s 15th annual @ireach2inc event!
I’ve had a ton of people messaging me with questions about Laramie Peak (which I love) after I posted about our hike yesterday. So here’s a video where I talk you through the trail and give you pointers! I don’t have pics of what I call the meadow but trust me, you’ll know when you get there and it’s the perfect spot to stop and refuel! Questions?! Leave them in the comments.
Epic day climbing Laramie Peak with these gals! Trust me when I say you need to scroll through all of these…plenty of whimsy and tom foolery occurred on this hike. Thankful to have women in my life who are willing to go on adventures. “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
