I never, ever wanted to write a blog.
I never, ever wanted to write a blog. The desire was null.
Until, one day I was greeted by a few comments of “Ryann, I absolutely love your writing and how you tell your story!” “Don’t stop sharing the journey of the progress!” “Your words impact me to do better”. Yes, this was all in a day and welp… here we are.
The day The Bauer Ranch blog is born.
I’m thrilled. Nervous. Excited. Mortified. You know, all the feels wrap into one. But, if I know one thing, it’s this: I’m over sitting on the sidelines and letting my voice be silenced from those around me; simply because they have more importance in their words.
No. Nope, that’s not true. My words mean something and sure damn do matter.
Writing has always been a way for me to check in with myself. To brain dump, if you will on all the things that run hot laps in my mind. Why not share them with the world? Why be a glimmer in someone else’s darkness? Why not have someone show relief and awareness for the fact that they too feel this way.
And, why the hell not share the BTS of what it’s like raising boys in a yours, mine, and ours family dynamic while we birth our dream of breeding longhorns, riding mules (and horses), enjoying the “casual” sporting event every now and again… HA… who am I kidding more like 4 nights a week! All both my husband and myself work outside the house, run a business, and I recently joined our town board…
Chaos is normal. Our hands are full, but our hearts are bursting.
I can only hope you gain a message in our messy life. I hope you enjoy the good, the bad, the ugly and all the amazing adventures that come from this little slice of heaven. But, most importantly I hope you too, have the courage to chase your dreams, allow your voice to be heard, take a chance on yourself, and above all else never lower standards to average just to seek approval for others around you!
XX,
