My heart’s been warmed recently, with all the random acts of kindness I hear about in the media. It’s good to see this simple character trait becoming popular and trendy. No matter the results, it’s always good to treat others the way we’d want to be treated. But sometimes, these attempted good deeds can go […]

I have a confession to make. It’s a secret I’ve held close to my heart for many years — all my adult life, really — though I suspect my close friends and family have long ago figured it out. I . . . oh, golly. I can’t bring myself to say it. It hurts to […]

I have come to the conclusion that I will never fully understand the effects of testosterone on the male mind. This conclusion is based upon over four decades of intense, clinically based research and observation. Except for a brief respite during my college years, I have always lived with at least one male of the […]

I’m starving. Despite the fact that I detest New Year’s Resolutions, I’ve put myself on a diet. During the holidays, I noshed on snickerdoodles, gingerbread men, pecan pie, cornbread dressing, chicken and dumplings, fudge, eggnog and just about every other delectable holiday treat you can think of.

There is a famous football hero living at our house. Well, he’s not actually famous yet, but he will be. He told me so. He is eight years old, and someday he wants to play professional football for the team that has the coolest uniforms. He told me that, too. If the whole football thing […]

Yesterday, Robin Bryce and I presented our Capture Me event for women of all ages to a great group of ladies. We had so much fun getting ready for the event, and even more fun at the actual event! Thought you might want to take a peek at what we did – click here to […]

My mama is a true southern lady. She knows the difference between “a little ways,” and “down the road a piece.” She knows that you can face any crisis as long as your hair looks good. And if you go to her house, she’ll offer you a coke. But it might not be a product […]

I am the smartest person in my family. Oh, if you ask my husband and my dear children, they probably won’t admit it, so please don’t ask them. They are embarrassed, and who can blame them? It’s not their fault, not really. But I know that I’m the smartest person in my family, and they […]
