Southern women see no point in the hard way. Life is hard enough. So we add a little sugar to the sour. Which is not to suggest Southern women are disingenuous or soft. Quite the opposite. When you are born into history as loaded as the South’s, daring to stay sweet and good is about the most radical thing you can do.

All Southerners are natural-born storytellers. Sharing our lives with others, whether they like it or not, is part of our collective DNA. We love a good tale and are instinctive reciters, great memory retainers, diary keepers, letter exchangers, and superfluous talkers. Ask the typical Southerner a question about a favorite food, and he or she is likely to tell you the entire recipe or the restaurant that serves the dish plus directions for how to get there.

Gen X, the Forgotten Middle Child. Is it any wonder that our theme song is "Don't Your Forget About Me?" Don't worry, we really just don't care all that much. We speak all the generational language, but to effectively sum up in a word what it was like to grow up Gen X? Whatever.

What I have learned, and maybe this helps because there was another wife between us, is that David’s first wife and I have one very important thing in common. We love the family. It's not my story. It’s our story, and there are a lot of chapters still left to write. Just because you loved the same person at different times is no reason to be jealous or resentful. Your goal is the same. To love all the players in it.
I may be the third wife, but if David and I make each other our first priority, I’m guaranteed to be the last. He is my everything.

You can’t change life from happening. The only real power in this world we have is to choose our response to it. This gives you the grace and time to heal. I stopped asking God why me a long time ago. God doesn’t make mistakes. Without the relationship I have with depression, I don’t know that I would be the type of compassionate person I am. And I understand that on the days that I look in the mirror and don’t recognize myself, I know that the screenplay of my life still needs to be written, and perhaps even deserves a sequel.

Remember, Love is a noun and a verb. If you want to keep love alive, then it's your responsibility not to let it die. Saying, "I do" sounds nice, but hearing, "I'd do it all over again," is so much better.

Women do not come with an expiration date and neither does our sexual well-being. Just because we age, we will not be forced into hiding. Stop telling us we are too old to be sexy or anything else less than WHAT we are. There is no unwritten law to censure us or keep us from being WHO we are. We are women, and we are ageless in what we are capable of. Sexiness exudes from acceptance of one’s self, and isn’t that the ultimate definition of sexy? Remember age is just a number; feeling good about yourself, however old you are, is priceless. As for me, I’m with a man 16 years my senior who thinks I’m totally hot. He also tells people he married the babysitter, and you know what? I’m perfectly fine with that.

The golden rule in the South is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, without expecting reciprocation. Southerners don’t do things out of obligation, but in hopes that you would do the same thing.

At every meal, God, I am reminded of the many ways you feed my heart. Thank you for the other kinds of bread, the kind with which you nourish my very being.
Amen

I am here to tell you that old, midlife dogs can learn all kinds of remarkable new relationship tricks. You can be vulnerable and open for the first time in your entire life. You can get your groove back in all possible ways, ladies. We can make peace with our imperfect bodies for the first time because we are being cherished in entirely new ways.

Do not let your years slip through your fingers by living in the past, nor in the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

My grandfather Ralph was the greatest man I knew. Potatoes, whether playing One Potato, Two Potatoes, Three Potatoes, Four or helping him harvest them from his garden, will always remind me of him.

Every person and everything wants to be loved. I’ve thought about why it is I feel the need to help others. After believing I was the caretaker for so long, perhaps it's me who's been begging for the bone. Whether you are the savior or the one being saved, one thing I know for sure – there is a reason a dog is considered man’s best friend.

And while there are days my hands don't seem like mine, they are recognizable. They are the familiar hands of all the women before me. These hands bring my mother back to me daily as I wash dishes, create recipes, and dial the phone numbers for children no longer in my nest. They are veiny and spotty and the map of a life that cannot be erased, and their strength allows me to keep adding new chapters.

Don't hurry and be sure to stop and smell the flowers along the way. Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the senses. Remember a nose that can see is worth two that sniff, so put yours to good use and take a trip down memory lane.

To all of you still on the boat, don’t let yourself get catfished by imposters. There may be plenty of fish in the sea, but not all of them are worth keeping. When you do find one that is a catch, hold tight while reeling in because if it is Southern-fried, I’m convinced you will fall in love with it hook, line, and sinker.

Resist the urge to get on board with somebody else’s passion. Live your life authentically and others will love you for it. God on creates masterpieces, so you are already an original, and one of his favorites, too.

Visibility is more about attitude than action. I will forever strive to convey the truths about aging so that we can change the narrative. Use your voice. Live aloud. The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.
I'm not here to speak for all women but hear this. No one is going to put this baby in a corner.

Two little words the healthcare community may not hear every day are the appreciative and resounding words, “Thank you”. Although the two words aren’t voiced often enough, they should be. Today, and every day, we celebrate the incredible impact those have on the world around us. It’s important to express gratitude and appreciation for the remarkable care they provide every chance you get, not just when it’s your family that needs it.

When cultures clash and flavors mash, everybody wins. A local restaurant advertises as, “Not just Chinese, not just Mexican; Mexinese!” Next stop? Pho burritos, avocado fried rice, fajita boa, Kung Pao nachos, and chorizo eggrolls. I'm climbing aboard because I love it all and "dim sum."

It’s late July. In my part of the world, the hydrangeas are starting to bloom, sweaters and boots have been stored away, and all the men in my neighborhood have taken vacation time to dedicate themselves 24/7to fighting the battle of the weeds. Snow shovels have been exchanged for lawn movers, which will buzz perpetually until those are swapped for leaf blowers. It’s the suburban circle of life.

In the South, conversations like “Come on in! Busy? Me? No! Sit right down here in my favorite chair and keep me up all night and drink all my liquor. Can I run out and kill our last chicken and fry her up for you? No? Wouldn’t take a minute. Are you sure? Oh, don’t let the chicken hear you. She’ll be so disappointed,” are the normal cadence. I am proud to be from the South, where tea is sweet and accents are sweeter; summer starts in April; front porches are wide and words are long; macaroni and cheese is a vegetable; pecan pie is a staple; Y’all is the only proper pronoun; chicken is fried and biscuits come with gravy; everything is darling and someone is always getting their heart blessed.

A true girl squad is for life. Friendships are one of the most important aspects of your life, so you better value them. No matter if you have more male or female friends, just be sure to cherish those bonds and stick to them in the long run. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and make friendships that will last you a lifetime. And after reading this you still need someone to cheer you on, I've got my pompoms, and I'm ready to roll.

Today’s consumers don’t only shop for pricing and quality — they invest in brands with strong character. But in a world saturated with influencers, it seems that no one cares who they collaborate with anymore. Everyone is looking for more followers and more money. Savvy consumers have grown weary of marketing messages and have developed banner blindness. In my opinion, content creators need to stop getting into bed with just anyone.

A debate is raging over what constitutes a “correct” salade Niçoise. To the purists, the rules are very clear: no vinegar, no lettuce, no fresh tuna, and absolutely no boiled vegetables, like potatoes or green beans. If you try to add any of these, you will be labeled as a heretic and sent to hell for your sins. To everyone else, any and all additions are fair game. And in my opinion, Heaven has this version on its menu.

Everyone in my family was a member of the Picky-Eater Club. I did not receive an invitation – people with adventurous taste buds need not apply. We all know a picky eater or two but imagine growing up in a home where you’re the only one who isn’t. At a table where spaghetti was eaten separately (noodles in one bowl, sauce in another), I stuck out like a sore meatball!
