Riding The White Charger Home

One of my personal favorite films, and a favorite family movie - is Irving Berlin’s White Christmas.

Not only does the singing, dancing, and costumes send thrills to my very retro-loving soul, but Rosemary Clooney crooning her sultry rendition of “Love did me wrong” will forever make me crave a long black evening gown, elbow length gloves, and a lovesick look into the corner of the nightclub, where Bing Crosby obviously waits for me looking like he lost his favorite toy….

Ok, I’m done with the daydream now I promise.

ANYWAY…there is a part in this spectacular film, where Bing Crosby is talking to Rosemary Clooney about her knight in shining armor aboard a charging steed…There is a moment, where she smiles-and I think I can see a flicker of an idea in her head…or maybe it’s just my imagination. No matter which one it is-It makes me think of something.

Are you waiting for your knight in shining armor?

Are you waiting for something or someone to GO after what you want and love? Quit waiting.

Go after it.

Chase that dream that everyone says is impossible.

Go for the shot that seems out of reach.

Go big or go home.

Don’t you DARE let anyone tell you no.

No is not a word you should listen to, neither is impossible or that horrible sounding “you can’t.”

Because you CAN.

Get your own white charger, saddle up, stick a spade in that pony’s mouth and a Visalia on his back (hopefully with extra long taps and a long rope) and take off for the hills.

If I had listened to every person in my life who told me I was nothing, that I couldn’t do what I dreamed, that I wasn’t worth anything, and that I would fail-I wouldn’t be where I am today. I have the most amazing blessed life a girl could ask for. I have the most incredible fans and listeners, miles under my stamped silver belt, and many more to travel.

I have words and the gift of music to share my thoughts and dreams with others that pour from my soul, and have seen the rewards of being able to convey them to cowboys, CEO’s, stay-at-home-mommy’s, ranchers, armed forces, school children…and any other “style” of person you can name.

Just to make sure you guys understand…this blog isn’t written today because someone recently tried to tell me no-or anything along those lines. I have the most supportive and positive people in my life, and they do nothing but encourage and stand behind me in all the dreams I go after.

I recently just got a letter from a fan on my blog saying how Liz and I’s blog Buckaroo Barbie, and my Buckaroogirl blog here on WordPress.com, is inspiring to them….I hope that this lil blog of mine can always be something special and bring hope or give some kind of inspiration to you, your letters and comments always make my day.

Please remember that you are important, beautiful, strong, tough, and can do anything you set your mind to. Don’t let anyone tell you no. Don’t try and open doors, go THROUGH those doors and leave the negative people and stuff behind you.

Love to you all,

xoxo
