November is the natural season of giving thanks, and now that the 2021 National and State Conventions have wrapped up, I have been able to fully reflect not only on all that we have achieved but also the many people, opportunities, challenges and personal growth that I am thankful for. I am thankful for each of our nearly 12,000 members; your love of Texas and the Country inspires me daily. You are my Federation family. I am thankful for the TFRW officers...

My friends, August was an especially prayerful month for me, as it may have been for you. Some days I had to force myself away from the news before I was swallowed up in feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. As women, we sometimes feel empathy so strongly that we lose ourselves in grief and sadness. It’s completely understandable, after all, there’s a lot to be sad about; rising inflation, the escalating crisis on our border, the Afghanistan tragedy, and the devastation...

I’ve just returned from the NFRW Biennial Convention in Orlando, and what an amazing convention it was! The resort was beautiful, the speakers were outstanding, and our delegation demonstrated the genuine friendliness and Texas charm you would expect from southern ladies.

Perhaps I should send President Biden a thank you note… I imagine that you get asked “What is...

Happy Independence Day! There is nothing more American than fireworks and family cookouts.

After all, what better time to discuss American exceptionalism, than when we are celebrating our National Independence. I truly cherish America’s legacy of rugged individualism, and opportunity for all. The culture war that is trying so relentlessly to erase our history and divide us as a nation cannot succeed...

Today is the day! The first of many important summer deadlines is today, June 1st. Have you submitted your applications for NFRW Club Achievement, Campaign Hours, Caring for America, and Armed Forces awards? Covid changed the way we operated for a while but it didn’t stop us, and I hope to receive an avalanche of award applications today. TFRW officer applications are also due today. If you’re the kind of leader who follows the True North principles of conservatism and...
