When I was growing up, there were things that you could count on when you were visiting grandparents. My mom’s dad always took us fishing! With cane poles hanging out the windows, we got in his white Chevrolet Bel Air, and off we would go. I was not a fan of worms, so Granddad Hill showed us how to make …
May the joy and love of Christmas be yours during this season. Always know you are special to many people. Unique gifts have been given to each of us and can be leveraged to better the world around us, especially at Christmastime. As you celebrate this year, remember that the Christ child came to change the world. My prayer is …
As I child, I refused to believe there was no Santa! I am the oldest of three children, so I was the first to go to school and hear all the opinions on this subject. One weirdo kid proceeded to tell me that it was not true and that my parents were fibbing. But they would never—right? Either way, it …
I have been sitting here reflecting on the events of the past three weeks and wondering, what do you say? My dad passed away a couple of weeks ago. It was life-changing for our family, but we know he is in Heaven, pain-free and happy. For us, we know that in our minds, and we just need our hearts to …

We were sitting in a meeting the other day, and one of our young digital marketing coordinators had been to Las Vegas for a family wedding. I asked her if she saw any “Elvis Presleys.” The whole room laughed, and to our surprise, she said she didn’t see a single one! My sister, Janice, the eternal Elvis fan, chimed in and …
Like I’ve said before, this time of year is so revitalizing for me, and I just can’t help but soak up all of the wonderful things that autumn has to offer! It was difficult to narrow it down, but here are my three fall favorites. 1. Football My love for Saturdays full of football in the South runs deeper than …
It’s official—we need a good laugh today. I have to share with you the concert experience I had last year. Dear friends of ours had invited us to go to hear a wonderful artist in concert. The night came, and we were dressed up and in our places all ready for the concert to begin. Right in front of me …
As August winds down, our wonderful fresh veggies and stone fruits are gradually going away here in the South. Oh, how we will miss them!
