Day Two Hundred Fifty-One of 365 – The Cowboy Code of Ethics: Not For Sale!
No fanfare or prolonged intro for this post. The ninth of ten parts of The Cowboy Code of Ethics speaks volumes on its own merit. Very clearly written, it says, “Remember that some things aren’t for sale.” We can buy just about anything online today. The popularity of shopping without leaving the comfort of our […]
Day Two Hundred Forty-Nine of 365 – The Cowboy Code of Ethics: Purposeful Riding!
I truly believe that writing something worth reading with the Cowboy Code of Ethics as my source of inspiration may be one of the most challenging things I have added to my list on the 365 day writing journey. Why you might ask? Well, as succinct and direct as each statement of the Code is, […]
Day Two Hundred Forty-Eight of 365 – The Cowboy Code of Ethics: Keeping Promises!
Who do you trust? How can you know that a person is trustworthy? What does it take to win you over? Perhaps the person who keeps promises will do the trick! You would think that keeping promises is as natural as breathing. You would think that keeping promises is an easy proposition. It’s not as […]

Many Native American nations have a peculiar approach to dealing with those who have lost their way in life. The Lakota are no different.

Day Two Hundred Fifteen of 365 – Things That Make Me Think: Two Lists and a Rule
As you may have noticed from recent posts, I have found inspiration from Dee Hock, founder and former CEO of VISA. His take on leadership flies in the face of convention and challenges those who would lead to think differently before acting. Traditional leadership models tout hierarchy and authority and power as the operative words […]
Day Two Hundred Nine of 365 – Things That Inspire Me: What To Be!
To Be or Not! I think that Shakespeare said it a bit more eloquently when he said, “To be or not to be. That is the question!” With all the voices in our world (some loud and obnoxious and others quiet and seductive) telling us what to think and believe; how to act and behave; […]
Day One Hundred Eighty-Three of 365 – Things That Inspire Me: Unalienable Rights
On this Independence Day, I ponder something that stirs inspiration at a level deeper than I initially thought. That something? Unalienable Rights. What is the definition of Unalienable Rights? What’s unalienable cannot be taken away or denied. Within the context of the Constitution, these rights are granted by God. From that particular perspective, it seems that […]
Day One Hundred Sixty-Nine of 365 – Things That Inspire Me: WE! We Inspire Me!
The Power of WE! One cannot underestimate the power of WE when facing life challenges! One of the problems that gets in our way is that we sometimes fail to see the Power of WE! What If We Are the Ones? Waiting! Don’t you just love waiting? We wait in line We wait for a […]
Day One Hundred Twenty-Seven – Confessions of a Recovering Bapticostal: From Out of the Night, Part 2!
Standing under the stars that pleasant, predawn summer morning after being awakened by my youngest grandson, I was reminded of two phenomena that disturb my soul greatly. The first had to do with the desire for control and how the need to control runs counter to the expression of true spirituality. Spirituality seeks the practical. […]
