Read it as many times as you need to. Let it sink in. That’s what I had to do this morning. I read it over and over again. Should you ever find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness, jealousy, lies and insecurities…DON’T BE MAD. Remember, things could be worse. YOU COULD BE THEM. ~Unknown Most of us can always […]

Back In The Day
I always have a flood of memories at this time each year. When I was younger, this was the perfect time for staying out all day long, into early evening. Summer hadn’t quite lost its grip, the air was still hot, but just a little bit cooler in the early evening and time spent outside […]
Don’t Ever Forget Your Worth
Don’t. Ever. Forget. Your. Worth. No matter what. You deserve the best and you are worthy of the best. If anyone ever tries to make you feel differently, get away from them. They do not deserve you. You might feel unwanted and unworthy to one person, but you are priceless to another. Don’t ever forget your […]
What We’ll Be One Day
I once heard a young man say to an older man, “You’re getting a little older now and you can’t do…” Before he could finish, the older man quickly piped up and said, “You listen here, young man. One day they’ll be an older man knocking at your front door, too.” I have never forgotten […]

Good Friends Make Life Better
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 […]
