Thanks for the ride...

It's been a ride here, friends. A good one...

I've decided to hang up the reins for now on my column "Cowgirl Ramblings" and turn the page on this chapter of my book. My life is a little busy, my words are feeling a bit redundant and things have changed enough for me over the last couple of years, that I just feel it's time.... time for new beginnings, fresh ideas and untried goals.

Seeley Lake and the surrounding communities, Ovando, Condon and Potomac, will always be home - the place where the mountains touch the sky, the place where people know me by my first name and smile when they see me pass through, my schools, my friends and lastly my family. All of you have been supportive and kind and open to my heartfelt, and sometimes, silly ramblings.

Thank you to Nathan and Andi Bourne for giving me a platform and a place to share my words. There's something rewarding about seeing my words in print - bold black and white - tangible, real and staring back at me from my small, hometown paper.

I will continue writing here and there and you can still find me on my new blog on WordPress, Facebook and Instagram under a new name - The Wayfaring Cowgirl.

It's been a good and happy trail to ride with all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your acceptance.

May your trails and trials ahead be filled with so much beauty and grace and goodness, it fills you up. Tip your hat for me to that beautiful Swan Range, explore a new trail, help your neighbor, forgive your enemies, wave at a passing car, give all you can and give some more, support the kids in sports, log some trees, share the land, lend a hand and continue to make the Seeley Swan Valley a place that all can live, love and enjoy-

Happy Trails my friends ~ Thanks for the ride and ramble on...Heather
