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.

Every new day, you are given a clean blank sheet. The hardest part of writing is picking up the pencil. Stories can be erased if you choose to let them go. You are more than your past, and your future is still unwritten. Make you story worth remembering.

Nora's Meatballs has been our home's annual Christmas Eve tradition for over 20 years. While the boys opened their Christmas pajamas before bed, Nora jumped onto the kitchen table and cleaned all our leftover plates. We caught her red-pawed and unapologetically red-faced. She was known as a "Houndini" in escapism and Naughty Nora for her mischief. We loved her incredibly sweet spirit and would not have wanted it any other way. I only wish she were here to enjoy it one last time.

While you can lead a horse to salad, you can't make him eat. Even after a triple bypass, David will never get it, but that is never ever going to stop this stubborn mule from trying.

"Knowing When to walk away is Wisdom, being able is courage, walking away with your head held high is dignity."

Occasionally, we may say, "Hit the road, Jack," to people in our lives, but we should always show grace to those who enter it. We are the only people who can determine what we will or will not tolerate. Walking away isn't easy, but it is always courageous. Letting go can hurt us deeply; however, these feelings teach us the most about ourselves and what we want in our lives. There doesn't always have to be two sides to every story. Sometimes, there is only one – yours. Know your story and make yourself the hero of it by accepting nothing less than what you deserve.

In many ways, we are all members of God's Pit Crew. When we choose to pull for his team, we become an important part of the body of Christ. God depends on you to do your part because every part affects the functionality of the whole. It really does matter what you do and, more importantly, what you leave undone. You become part of something so much greater.

Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. It is synonymous with soul food and part of the South’s culinary story. Creamy, rich, ooey-gooey, super cheesy, with those crispy browned cheese edges—no one can resist cooked mac & cheese. Exceptional mac 'n' cheese makes noises after it leaves the oven as if the ancestors are speaking to us through the squeaks and crackles of cooking.

Real life is messy and unfiltered, and you don’t get the chance to retouch it before someone sees it. Unless you really like the view on the Highway to Hell, I say embrace the perfection of imperfection. It requires a lot less work, and you won’t put unnecessary mileage on your well-being during your journey through life.

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.
