Her endless dedication to promoting agriculture and western values while being an amazing, loving human makes Viva Babe Rachel ridiculously awesome! Weโ€™re honored to celebrate Rachel as our newest โ€˜Itโ€™s Not About the Bagโ€™ recipient. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ‰โ  โ  Rachel is a former teacher turned writer, speaker, and author, lives in Wiggins, Colorado, and was nominated by her friend, Val. They met three years ago at a new job. Val says, โ€œWe hit it off and started a solid, fast friendship like we had known each other since grade school. The type of friends that would have the 80โ€™s clear phones and talk under our blankets about nerd stuff...not boys.โ€ ๐Ÿฅฐโ  โ  As their friendship deepened, Val learned she had connected with an extraordinary woman. Val says, โ€œRachel married young and had 2 great kids. The marriage was tumultuous and ended. Yet, even through all of this, Rachel continued to be a teacher, mother, editor, write articles for other publications, help with local cattle organizations, active in Colorado Farm Bureau, work on the ranch raising show goats and cattle, and interview local, regional and national people involved with agriculture, ranching, farming, and livestock.โ€ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿค โ  โ  Rachel remarried, has her third child, and has added more feathers to her cap. Val says, โ€œShe now has her own website, podcast, and has written 2 children's books- the third will be released in the fall- about livestock, farming, and ranching. I am not sure if she sleeps. But I know she gives her best to her family, friends, co-workers, and animals she works with.โ€ ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’˜๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒˆโ  โ  Nominate someone who inspires you today!
