At 40, Cowboy is Untoppable
BRONSON, DUBBED “COWBOY” BY HIS BEST FRIEND CHAD PRESSWOOD, TURNS 40 TODAY. And he’s taking that 40-year old bull by the horns. In the last year of his thirties, Bronson joined the rodeo, traveled to Spain and Bora Bora, met his long lost sister, faced his childhood demon, and got married. WE ALL KNOW COWBOYS SING AND TELL STORIES AROUND THE CAMPFIRE. And who knows those dusty roads and desert sunsets ahead of you, Bronson, better than the original cowboy, Willie Nelson?
MANIFESTO FOR A COWBOY by Willie Nelson
“SIT. LISTEN. BREATHE. DREAM. RENEW. Let your mind be the servant of your heart. I’ve noticed that most people spend too much time worrying about what someone else is doing or saying. When the panic—among other things—hits the fan, remember: Once you admit that you can’t control everything, then it becomes clear that sometimes you just have to let things happen. The easiest mistake on earth is to forget to appreciate what you have right now. Instead of trying to make everything happen, get out of the way and let it happen. The incredible secret…is the word, “now.” It is the understanding that happiness exists at just one time. And that time is now. There is no normal. There’s only you and me. So, if I’m not normal and you’re not normal and they’re not normal—why in the blue blazes do we all spend so much time pretending we are? There is only one map to the journey of life, and it lives within your heart.”

Here’s a Happy Birthday Song for Bronson, Sam.
Please let him know to find it here.
From the Tree
His mama knew just how he would be…
She called it all when he was just three…
The years they rolled by as the waves to the sea…
The apple it rolls, but not far from the tree.
Cause I am his mama…
Who else should I be?
I should have done nothing differently…
Blow out the candles and then just breathe…
There is no memory you’ll ever leave…
An invisible cord holds you steadfastly…
The apple it rolls, but not far from the tree.
Love,
Mom

Happy Birthday! 40, huh? Does this mean I should start calling you Dad?

No, seriously, happy birthday, big guy. May your 40s be even more kickass than your 30s were! Continue to be true to yourself and never forget the power of your dreams.
