Life just seems to be better when you have good friends to share it with. They make us laugh more, laugh louder and laugh longer. I have one friend whose laugh is so funny, I laugh at her laugh more than what she says or does. Everyone does. We can be in a large, crowded […]

We’re All Just Walking Each Other Home
We all have people in our past who we may wish we had never met. Especially when we are going through a really hurtful time with that person. But, in fact, you were supposed to meet them. Every person in your life is there for a reason. Whether they are with you for a season […]
Believe You Will Make It
This is how you must believe: Letting nothing keep you down for long, letting no one talk you out of your dreams, letting none of the haters get to you, you keep pressing forward. You must believe that everything is going to work out in your favor. BELIEVE…you will somehow make it. No matter what […]
The Happiest People
I’m living proof of this. I was raised by the two strongest women on the planet, my mother and grandmother. To say we didn’t have a lot growing up is an understatement. My daddy and mother divorced when I was 12, and there were 6 women in the house, my grandmother, mother and us 4 […]
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 Be A Prisoner Of Your Past

Happiness Starts With You
Have you ever been around someone who talked about their happiness depending on everything except themselves? Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your friends, not with your money, BUT WITH YOU. ~Robert Tew Oh, if only their marriage were better. If only their spouse didn’t do certain […]
Don’t Compare Yourself To Anyone Else
We’ve all done it. We’ve all looked at someone and thought, “How are they doing so much better than me? They seem so successful and I’ve been working longer and harder”! Don’t compare yourself with anyone in this world…if you do so, you are insulting yourself. ~Bill Gates Don’t do that to yourself. Those kind […]
I Believe In The Mighty Power Of Prayer
I BELIEVE in the Power of Prayer. Isn’t it wonderful that God created prayer as a primary method of putting us into personal contact with Him any day or night, any hour of the day? He is always there. He’s always with you and always ready to hear our prayer. Even when you cannot mouth […]
Look After Your Friends, Make Sure They’re Okay
Have you ever talked to a friend that you haven’t talked with in a very long time and you find out that they have been going through a really tough time? And you had no idea?! They may have been embarrassed to call you and let you know what is going on. It may be […]
