Storytelling

Life is a story. My story. Madi’s story. Moo’s story. Mini’s story. Together, the four of us have created our story.

I’ve always gravitated towards good storytellers – real stories. Country music and I have a strong relationship because we’re both focused on sharing the story. To be honest, country music delivers my story better than I ever could.

I’ve always respected the Dixie Chicks – group of strong independent woman who stood strong behind their beliefs. It ended up costing them a 10+ year delay in a career started with a BIG Bang. Since December 2017, I’ve repeated that song Not Ready to Make Nice over and over again – decreasing the frequency month by month but it hasn’t left my mind, my heart, and my soul.

Dedicated to the negligent human (who I’m not even convinced is human) who lead Moo to an early unexpected and undeserved death.

Madi lost her canine sister and I lost my four legged daughter. We’ve been through human (close to us human) death but we’ve never felt so heartbroken. Thank you to Miranda Lambert for summarizing our ‘No Moo’ journey.

Rodney Adkins released a single in 2005 ‘If you’re Going Through Hell…’ That was the theme song my Mom and I shared to motivate us to move forward without my Grandpa. Anything to move on – work through the bad, the change in traditions, the change of the guards (leader of our family). I never thought I would find my way back to this song. Losing Moo was a new level of hell. I didn’t know it at the time but a year ago I was starting my last month with the one four legged daughter who was robbed of long healthy life she deserved.
