Cashmere classic-fit crewneck … curated on LTK

Pray more, worry less. To worry is to be in opposition to prayer. Prayer is taking our thoughts and problems to God instead of ingesting them and playing out worst-case scenarios. But like anything else, these things require constant practice, and that’s why the walk with God is a lifelong relationship. So don’t think that you have to be alone in your worry. Every day is a journey with Him, and He just wants to be a part of it with us.

When people treat one another with love, life gets better. Love is the attraction force that propels and upholds human existence. So, when I read negative comments, I remind myself that I've heard all this and much worse. I was weaned on insults. If hurt people hurt people, I want the legacy to end with me. While the insults sadden me, it also makes me determined to keep giving these people the love they may have never received. Life doesn't stop spinning because I've been heart. I'm just doing my part to make sure the world keeps going round and round.

Sometimes, we must remember to pat ourselves on the back or give ourselves a round of applause. We also are the same ones to acknowledge when we deserve a standing ovation. So, keep clapping for yourself as hard as you clap for others. Go ahead and take your bow. Bravo! Encore!

Goodbyes are hard, but every new beginning comes from another beginning's end. Each new year offers an opportunity for a fresh start and new opportunities. On December 31, we get to close another chapter of our history. Life is not a short story but a novel. All it takes to change your narrative is to pick up the pen and start writing. This year may be a best seller.

Here's a word of advice for those of us who want to be free of manipulation of those around us so that we are free to make choices that will enhance our well-being. The next time you consider jumping on the bandwagon, ensure it is equipped with a working moral compass and no ‘Brainwashed On Board’ sign is hanging in the window. All vehicles can pose a risk if handled under the influence. Not every debate needs to end with a resolution. Sometimes, it’s enough to acknowledge that you see things differently and move on respectfully. We can agree to disagree. And for those of you who continue to lay on your proverbial horn while screaming for everyone else to get out of your way, you can Kiss My Grits. Free-thinking pedestrians still have the right of way.

I believe Audrey Hepburn, perhaps the most iconic role model for all Southern Belles, possessed equal beauty on the inside as she did on the outside. To quote her, "Make-up can only make you look pretty on the outside, but it doesn't help if you're ugly on the inside. Unless you eat the make-up." Your essence is everything. The person you are is significantly more valuable than what you do; nevertheless, it never hurts to present your best self while doing it. Not everyone is born a popular beauty queen, but remember, sometimes it is Miss Congeniality who walks away with the biggest title.

Gossip is like gas, and it only takes a spark to ignite the flame. We must turn off the pilot light and walk away from these toxic individuals. For those who enjoy stirring the pot, it's important to remember that you may end up getting burned. And for everyone else, don't let the pot-stirrers in your life get you hot. Don't be fooled by their actions. Every ingredient in a dish is essential, but that doesn't mean we have to sit next to those who stir up trouble. It's time to trade in the old saying, "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen," for a new one – If you like to stir garbage into the pot, you should be required to lick the spoon.

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.

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.
