Buzzard’s Beat – Live and Ready for Action

Welcome to the new and improved Buzzard’s Beat! Thank you for your patronage and for reading all these years. If you’re here it means that you followed the migration successfully so thank you!

I’m so thrilled to have this new site up and running – I have spent countless hours scouring internet tutorials, consulting with friends (thanks Carrie, Terryn and Kelly), re-formatting posts and fixing bugs. I have learned more about coding, themes and the back-end of blogs than I ever thought possible and I emerged from this blog transition victorious! I still have A TON of post-updating to do – all 400+ posts from the past 5+ years need to be recategorized, reformatted and many permalinks  need to be fixed but it’s ready for public viewing and readership today!

Like I said above, I have had a lot of help from friends to make this move happen. Kelly met me in Kansas City to help me figure out how to make my logo and slider work in a theme I should never have purchased. Carrie gave me the confidence and support I needed to take a deep breath and make this move and Terryn has been sending me tutorials, forum answers and even books to help me make this transition. Let’s talk more about her…

Terryn blogs about ranch life in rural, beautiful Nebraska over at Faith, Family and Beef. We virtually “met” through the MBA program but were fortunate enough to meet IRL in Denver at a media training event. She’s smart, sassy and talented and I’m so thankful for Facebook for helping us connect!

What I love about Terryn’s blog is the way she talks about ranch life with a romantic viewpoint. She loves the prairie, which I can attest to, and gives a first-hand view of how she is raising her kids and cows while staying focused of the important things in life: faith, family values and helping make the world a better place. Some of my absolute favorite posts of hers are:

• Food Waste Diaries
• Going for it With Gratitude
• Resisting Antibiotic Resistance
• Calve in May, They Say

Terryn is one of those awesome women who builds people up instead of tearing them down. One of those strong women I reference in this post, to be sure. In addition to being a strong writer, rancher and mom, she also takes amazing photos, many of which you can see on her Instagram account.  The photos in this post are just a few of her outstanding pieces of art and since today is  a celebration of blogging, ranch life and good friends I am having a giveaway!
