    Definition

    Every steward has his or her own definition of what stewardship means to them. Most often, stewardship evokes a sense of personal responsibility for ensuring our natural resources are sustainably managed for our own quality of life, and for future generations.

    ‘Ma’ Dame Debbie Webster, 2007. Read more...

Stewardship of Self

"Genius is an infinite capacity for taking life by the scruff of the neck."   Katherine Hepburn

According to the definition of Stewardship . . . we should be carefully monitoring the resources that keep us alive, healthy and happy! Just how well do we look after ourselves? Women are notorious care-givers but how often are we ‘care-takers’? Our sense of nurturing sometimes will override the need to ‘play’.

"Eternally, woman spills herself away in driblets to the thirsty, seldom being allowed the time, the quiet, the peace, to let the pitcher fill up to the brim."   Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Live a life worth living! Use every minute with a passion – you will never get a refund on time spent. Our values today depend on our combined experiences. Tuck all of these sensations away in your ‘lessons learned’ drawer and be ready to use them now and then.

"The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes only sooner."   Tallulah Bankhead

Trying something new is part of human nature and the Dames on the Range recognize your efforts to work through the various scenarios that life throws at all of us. Learning to relax and listening to ourselves may be challenging but not impossible . . . and can be a lot of fun!

"Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you."   Aldous Huxley

Break new ground or stir up some of that old sod to uncover the excitement you may have buried because of stress or work or other obligations. We offer get-aways to help you explore new stuff – again!

"Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. It's the sure-footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life."   Ann Landers

Is it time to refuel? Need to recharge your ‘batteries’? Let your hair down and kick up your heels (responsibly) with the Dames on the Range!

"It is only rarely that one can see in a little boy, the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman."   Alexandre Dumas
