You'd think strength is what breaks a wild horse.But ask anyone who's spent real time around animals that size, and they'll tell you something different.It's the soft hand that earns trust.In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I'm talking about the choice that takes more courage than most people realize — the one that comes after life has already broken your heart.After my husband died, I had a choice. Close my heart, build walls, decide that loving deeply wasn't worth the pain of losing. A lot of people make that choice. I understand it completely.But I didn't want to live that way.So I did something that sounds simple but wasn't. I started writing. And somewhere inside that first book — inside a heroine named Ivy Rose — I found a way through grief I hadn't been able to face alone. She sorted through the loss slowly, honestly, without rushing. And she brought me with her.Soft doesn't mean weak. It never has.It means brave.Today's Cowboy Logic: Staying soft is the hardest thing you'll ever do. So protect it.New episodes every week. You can find my romantic suspense novels on Amazon.
