Dale Evans was the first cowgirl I "knew"... knowing on television was as close as I got.
She was a writer and a singer-songwriter and she was not afraid to stand up for what she believed.
She was quoted saying this:
"Cowgirl' is an attitude really. A pioneer spirit, a special American brand of courage.
The cowgirl faces life head-on, lives by her own lights, and makes no excuses
Cowgirls take stands; they speak up.
They defend things they hold dear."
I like that in a person. Perhaps if more of our leaders faced life head-on, making no excuses for their beliefs or what they stand (up) for, we would have governments that were accountable, and responsible.
Perhaps if world leaders held their countries "dear" instead of their own agendas, we would have more peace, more tolerance and we could get on with loving, learning and living... and, wearing more cashmere, of course.
And Dale Evans in cashmere? why not?
