American Author Returns to ATS LIVE, Monday Oct. 14th!
It's back! Hey y'all, join me this Monday evening for another fun evening on ATS LIVE as we welcome back AMERICAN AUTHOR! It's sure to be a great night on the porch. I can't believe it's been a full year since I premiered a reality segment called AMERICAN AUTHOR, but this is precisely the case, and it's past time for another round. The premise of AMERICAN AUTHOR is simple. A number of authors
Monday on ATS LIVE: A Better December (Starts in October)
It's going to look a lot like Christmas on ATS LIVE tomorrow afternoon. WHAT? You, too, Shellie? Calm down, y'all. This is not a store putting up Christmas decorations alongside the school supplies sort of thing. Far from it. Tomorrow's show is about relieving the pressure of Christmas before it can even begin to build. It's about going into the holidays with an entirely new perspective, brought to us in
Leaving on a Jet Plane…
Hey y'all! I write to you with mixed emotions from a hotel room in Loveland, CO. I’ve been here all week as the guest of Resurrection Fellowship, where I’ve been teaching my book Heart Wide Open for the last three evenings.

Terminal Trouble
It’s been years since I first rode one of those super fast terminals in the Atlanta airport but I still remember the instant education I got on translating the disembodied voice blaring from the speaker.

Over the years I’ve unintentionally offended many ladies with what
Thomas A. Dorsey in the Southern Quote
He was born in Georgia on July 1st, 1899. His father was a preacher and his mother taught piano so it was perhaps no surprise when young Thomas, or Tommy as he was known, learned to play the piano in his childhood. It wasn’t long, however, before he was displaying a preference for jazz and blues over the gospel songs his family loved. When Tommy’s
Lucy’s Crockpot Cheese Soufflé
Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. Today’s recipe is a tribute to the memory of a great southern cook and my late mother-in-law, Lucy Lowry Tomlinson. I remember being a young bride and thinking that Lucy’s Crockpot Cheese Souffle sounded a little too tricky for my skills. Little did I know it was a layer and pour type of thing. Here let me walk
