Today is #Internationalwomensday #iwd and the theme is #choosetochallenge. This year it was about celebrating achievements, increasing the visibility of women, while calling out inequality at the same time. Women still have a tough time in the world asking for help, and receiving help. There is a double standard at play for women, and we don't often help each other when we KNOW how hard it is to juggle everything going on in our lives - work, family, lives. We need to do better. We need to be there for each other, supporting each other, helping each other, and only then can we say that we truly support equality and women's rights. In my #choosetochallenge, I vow to do better at supporting each other. Because there is no limit to what we can accomplish together. 
It was incredibly windy here and blustery and cold the past few days but we're going into a warm spell. Maybe there is something to this March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb. Boy, I hope so. So, in light of that, let's take a look back (hopefully back) and think about what was your favorite winter activity - this year or any year? Personally, I like sitting by a fire, with a cup of cocoa (doctored with fireball or baileys) and a good book or my knitting. Yup, I'm comfortable like that. How about you? How did you spend your winter? #westernromance #cowboys #cowboyromance #cowboyromancenovels #contemporaryromanceauthor #lovestoread #romancenovels #bookstagrammer #romancebooks #romancereadersofinstagram #lovescowboys #lovesbooks #readsromance #contemporaryromance #smalltownromance #readsmalltown #readztule #badassbookbabe #amreading #bookloversofinstagram #romanceauthorsofinstagram #fallreads #authorlife #booknerd #bookdragon #rainydayreads #amwriting #bookish #bookstagram 
We all know that I have an adorable and a bit stubborn little cocker spaniel named Bentley. What about you? What kind of pet do you have - or wish you had? #westernromance #cowboys #cowboyromance #cowboyromancenovels #contemporaryromanceauthor #lovestoread #romancenovels #bookstagrammer #romancebooks #romancereadersofinstagram #lovescowboys #lovesbooks #readsromance #contemporaryromance #smalltownromance #readsmalltown #readztule #badassbookbabe #amreading #bookloversofinstagram #romanceauthorsofinstagram #fallreads #authorlife #booknerd #bookdragon #rainydayreads #amwriting #bookish #bookstagram 
I think we all know that this month is has St. Patrick's day but did you know that this whole month is Irish American Month? I"m Irish (and I have that verified from the DNA sites). Who else? And how do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Soda bread, corned beef, beer? #westernromance #cowboys #cowboyromance #cowboyromancenovels #contemporaryromanceauthor #lovestoread #romancenovels #bookstagrammer #romancebooks #romancereadersofinstagram #lovescowboys #lovesbooks #readsromance #contemporaryromance #smalltownromance #readsmalltown #badassbookbabe #amreading #bookloversofinstagram #romanceauthorsofinstagram #authorlife #booknerd #rainydayreads #amwriting #bookish #bookstagram #lovesbaseball #booknerd #sportsromance #sexyreads 
I saw this quote and LOVED it. I feel this way every time I read a romance. But I have also heard many wonderful real-life romance stories from readers too, from their lives. What fairy tale has happened in your life? What real-life heroes and heroines do you have in your own lives? #westernromance #cowboys #cowboyromance #cowboyromancenovels #contemporaryromanceauthor #lovestoread #romancenovels #bookstagrammer #romancebooks #romancereadersofinstagram #lovescowboys #lovesbooks #readsromance #contemporaryromance #smalltownromance #readsmalltown #badassbookbabe #amreading #bookloversofinstagram #romanceauthorsofinstagram #authorlife #booknerd #rainydayreads #amwriting #bookish #bookstagram #lovesbaseball #booknerd #sportsromance #sexyreads ------------
