In a world that celebrates grand gestures, sometimes the bravest love is the one that chooses anyway.In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I share the true story of leaving West Virginia — terrified of flying and never having been on a plane — to meet the cowboy who became my husband in Calgary.From a stranger’s reassuring hand on takeoff, to the gold heart locket he fastened around my neck that first day, to the quiet promise that changed everything.This Valentine’s story is about the kind of courage that doesn’t shout — it simply shows up. The kind that rides forward even when doubt sits beside you.It’s for anyone who has ever chosen love over comfort — whether that means boarding a plane or opening your heart again.My characters in *Starting Over in Montana*, *Áine’s Salvation*, and *Bet’s Christmas Gamble* make that same choice — riding forward scared, just like their creator.If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with someone who might need the reminder.If you're new to Cowboy Logic, you can start with Season 1, Episode 1 — where this journey began.Thank you for being here. I’ll see you next time.
