First, this is not a political post or commentary. That would be breaking one of my Daddy's major rules for life--do not talk about politics in general company. If you know me at all, you know I try not to ever disappoint my Daddy--or my Mama for that matter--even still. I try to give them… Continue reading The Sign on the Path Oft Taken

A Grace Filled Eve
Tonight I will gather with little folks (and a few big) whom I love right here in my living room, and we'll debate about staying up to see the New Year in. We may or may not watch some form of something dropping to beckon in 2018, and then the laughter will turn into sighs… Continue reading A Grace Filled Eve
That’s Hilarious…..and Important
A few days ago I had the privilege of speaking with a most delightful fellow on the phone. My little nephew, who just turned four, woke up from his nap and came in the room where my brother was on the phone with me. The miles divide, but the heart does not. Thankfully so. When… Continue reading That’s Hilarious…..and Important
Umbrella and Steagles and 2017
Hard to believe since today has been cold as all get out, but a couple of months ago the littles had a swim meet. It was one of those Georgia days that started out pleasant--the temperature just right--but rapidly moved into the "I'm sweating an ocean right where I'm sitting" situation. The Fella was helping… Continue reading Umbrella and Steagles and 2017
Be the Kicker
Sunday morning Cooter came into our room, bouncing on the bed. It being a day of rest, the Fella and I were trying to stretch it out as long as possible. Cooter is a morning person, me--not as much. He was excited about the upcoming Falcons game, and he and his partner in all things… Continue reading Be the Kicker
Spread Your Wings and Soar
This past Saturday many young women walked across the stage I've walked across, and they received the piece of paper that is so much more than that--it's the results of minutes and hours and days and years of listening and learning and writing and critiquing and speaking and sharing and thinking and challenging themselves to… Continue reading Spread Your Wings and Soar
Working Out
It was June, I think, or maybe July. I'm not sure. I know it was very hot. And that Daddy was still going for treatments at the Cancer Center. This particular day Daddy's physical therapist, Miss Ida, whom I loved and adored from my own visit to the PT office where she worked, had helped… Continue reading Working Out
What I Want To Be When I Grow Up
This morning I took my littles to their last STEM class for the school year. It was on Robotics. They got to build their own robots as teams, and they seemed to really enjoy it. When we first got there this morning, we parked the car and began the trek to the building where the… Continue reading What I Want To Be When I Grow Up
Chasing the Darkness With a Big Ol’ Broom
So today I heard the Story of the Chicken. I have a friend, an amazing young woman in her last year of college who shared it on Facebook, and that chicken is what I've thought about much of today. Apparently this poor chicken fell off of a "chicken truck," and my friend and her friends… Continue reading Chasing the Darkness With a Big Ol’ Broom
Easter Sunday
Easter Sunday another page torn off the calendar and tucked away to use for scratch paper when I need to jot something down not much has changed since yesterday except now I can wear the white shoes that I haven't owned for about five or six years (and what is that about--I used to welcome… Continue reading Easter Sunday
