Dear Nat’l Media: A suggestion for those clinging to our lightpoles and standing in our ditches (Can I Get a Share or RT? THX!)

Perhaps it will help some to refrain from sharing quite so enthusiastically. THX! ****** On behalf of my fellow Louisianans, and our many friends in other hard hit areas of the southern region, I’d like to have a come to
Backwards Beatitudes
I know. I've been MIA on the blog lately. I've found it challenging to keep all of the ATS balls in the air during Mama's back surgery and recovery. The to-do list got whittled down to the must-do and the blog didn't make the cut. Mama's doing well, improving a little more every day. She's a good patient. She doesn't want to "bother anyone", this from a woman who has
2nd Pew Left Hand Side, VBS & Deep and Wide
I'm sitting beside Mama's hospital bed watching her sleep and thinking about the heritage of love and self-sacrifice she's given this family. Maybe it's the nostalgia of the moment, but I keep thinking about some words I wrote this week about family. It has me wanting to share them with any of you who may not follow Southern Belleview.

Reversing the Travesty, Step One (new post)
I'm sitting on the back porch thinking over the morning's events and contemplating the beautiful, mysterious ways of God. Care to join me for a story? Little more than a week ago, I posted a blog thought called Travesty. In it, I expressed a heartfelt desire to begin correcting what I saw as a great wrong. It might help if you read that post before you
Authors & Aspiring Writers need to see this Mind Mapping Memo from the Belle of All Things Southern
Happy Friday, folks! I love to bring y'all things that I find helpful and right now, I'm intrigued with the concept of Mind Mapping. Granted, I'm coming to the table late, way late I'm sure, but I'm here! Special thanks to Lucille Zimmerman at WordServe Watercooler for the post that brought it to my attention. Note: You don't have to be a writer to use this, I see great
What a Travesty
Travesty. I probably haven't used that word a handful of times in my whole life but it sprang to my mind yesterday during my early morning devotions
Do Not Read Your Book Reviews!
Dear *Cat, I did it again. I didn't mean to, I promise. I had no intention of reading reviews last Saturday! It's just that I got an email invite to be someone's friend on this certain book site and when I clicked "sure thing", or something like that, I was taken to the site itself, which is where I happened to see my book in a little sidebar along
