So, Monday is Labor Day. The day we are supposed to slow down, take it easy and relax. How many of you have started a “to-do” list for all the things you want to get done on your “off” day? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of Labor Day? I had started a list. I was […]

Country Is In The Heart
I’m one of “those women”. You know, the kind of woman who grew up country and is very proud of it. I grew up in Coal City, Alabama. Whenever someone asks me where I’m from, I always say, “Coal City, Alabama…aka God’s Country.” Country ain’t in the North. Country ain’t in the South. Country is […]
Never Underestimate The Power Of Grandma’s Prayers
I’ve learned from experience. And the “experience” is my entire life. I know the power of prayer prayed by a Godly woman. I know it because I’ve been on the receiving end of it. Grandma’s prayers are the reason a lot of us are still here. ~Unknown What about it? True for you too? My grandmother […]
I love My Sister
Yes, I do. I love my sister. I have three sisters, but I don’t think of them as a “group” because they are all so unique with very different personalities.

We said the blessing before every meal. We didn’t text people at the dinner table, we talked to each other. If I didn’t eat what mama […]
They just promised it’d be worth it
Let’s make a promise to ourselves this evening… When we wake up in the morning, have no regrets. Don’t regret what you didn’t get done yesterday…don’t regret mistakes from your past, don’t regret things you’ve said or things you’ve done. See all of these things as lessons…learn from these lessons and move on. And… make […]
On Football Saturday and Being American
I’m American. And I am proud to be American. I respect our National Anthem, our Flag, our President, our President’s Office and Administration. That doesn’t mean that I agree with everything that the President does or says or the way he does it or says it. It means that our President’s office is the highest […]
Love The People God Gave You
Love the people God gave you, because…He will need them back one day. Think about that. For just one moment. Every single person in your life is there for a reason. You may not understand the reason for everyone in your life, but there is a reason. For each and every one. I’ve been out […]
