Thank You

I wanted my last post to be one of appreciation and gratitude to all of you for the love, kindness, education, and caring you have shown me over the past 2 years. It is not an overstatement to say I do not think I could have healed without all of you and I know it would not have been as fun. I am writing this with tears streaming down my cheeks. I will miss this. I have received an enormous amount of nudging to leave the blog up and so I will. I am overwhelmed at the emails I have been getting telling me how much my words have meant to so many. Thank you for making me feel special and valued ..read more

Kilted To Kick Cancer
A Girl and Her Gun
by A Girl
2y ago
Ok, I realize that I have been on the very down-low for a while, so it is a bit tacky to pop on here to ask for help, but by now you know if there is a good cause out there, I am gonna support it. My friend Micheal and his friends(some of which have become my fiends!) have been doing this extremely cool Kilted to Kick Cancer thing for a few years. Last year you all helped Micheal compete with the big boys last year in fundraising which was a hoot. Not to mention helped raise a deal of money to fight a disease we all despise. It is that time again… We have 5 kids, a grandbaby, a 15 year old who ..read more

I sat down to share my thoughts on this article and to restate what I have said many times on this blog, but then my daughter came in and asked me if we could cook dinner together and then my son wanted to read a book and then I wanted to sit with my husband and then my teenager needed to be picked up from work and then I thought, what more needs to be added…nothing really. I urge you to read this post by Lima called Fight Like A Girl And Other Lessons From A stabbing. I will add one thing. When I began carrying a gun and taking my safety seriously I felt such guilt and shame that I inter ..read more

PTSD- A Marine’s Story
A Girl and Her Gun
by A Girl
2y ago
I think for a lot of people it is hard to explain war and even more so perhaps what it is like to come home from it. Neither Phil or I have spoke much about the year that followed his return from Iraq, but I think it surprised us both how challenging it was. He was certainly a different person and while he healed fairly quickly he never did return to the same carefree, light-hearted boy he was before. My husband did not suffer this kind of distress and for us, the major issues were dealt with pretty much in a year or two, but this Marine’s story is powerful. Extremely well written. I honestly ..read more

A New Shooter Update

Our latest Giveaway recipient wrote an update to share with all of you. As I read her post, I realized two things. 1. We picked the right gal!! 2. I need new clothes. I think this is the 3rd picture of me in the last few months in this same outfit. P.S. I have always known this, but it is much better to give than receive. I thought it was time for a update from me on how my new found love for guns is going. After winning  this contest I realized I needed to be a worthy winner and do my part to make the most of these wonderful prizes I was given. Each donor gave because they cared about g ..read more

Do You Even Blog?
A Girl and Her Gun

3y ago
Hello again! It’s been a while hasn’t it? From time to time I sat down to write, but truly didn’t believe I had anything worth while to contribute. There are many reasons for that. Reasons I have tried to put into words a hundred times, but the words just didn’t come. Frustrated, eventually, I accepted that my writing days were over and put my blog to rest. However, I have persistent friends who put on a full court press to get me back at it, so here I am putting fingers to keyboard. When I first started blogging I had a story to tell. A journey to share. The writing came from sharing my life ..read more

It has been about 9 months since I have blogged. I have a lot I could tell you, but that would distract from the reason I decided to post now. Today I read a post written by Limatunes and then I reread it and then I shared it on FaceBook and then I thought you know what, I want as many women, people, to read it as possible, so here I am sharing it with you. I really hope you pop on over to Lima’s blog and read what she has to say.   The post Your Younger Self… appeared first on A Girl and Her Gun ..read more
