From my little corner of Luxembourg, the mystique of the cowgirl draws me in across the continents, twirls me around, envelopes me, propels me. For a moment, I am that woman riding out on the range, sun on my shoulders, boots on my feet, dog at my heels, hat on my head, saddle and strong horse beneath me. There's a raw, rugged beauty to this life that I can't resist.
I'm living the cowgirl life today... and here are ten great reasons that you should dream with me:
There's something about that cowgirl style...
...the ranch house...

 |
 |
...those amazing views...
 |
 |
...the horses (always the horses)...
 |
 |
 |
...the cowboys (never forget the cowboys)...
 |
 |
 |
...those ever faithful dogs...
 |
 |
 |
...the farm animals...
 |
 |
 |
...the cool trucks...
 |
 |
 |
...the cowgirl weddings (absolutely couldn't resist, long married though I am)...
 |
 |
 |
... and the boots... never forget the boots (I love the boots).

It's a cowgirl's life, for sure. And I know that this is only my romantic view of a life filled with scenic adventure. A cowgirl's life is a hard life, certainly filled with the same ups and downs that the rest of us experience, graced with the same moments of love, loss, choice and challenge that fill the rest of our lives, and yet somehow still a life that can inspire us to pack our bags, chuck our jobs, grab our loved ones, climb on a horse and head out West.
To all those hard working women lucky to be living the life of a modern cowgirl, you go girls! You inspire us, and you keep us dreaming. And life is nothing without dreams!
