The Show Must Go On — (and it will!)
Isn't that what they say? I don't know who "they" are and I don't always listen to them, but for today at least, I"m going with the familiar adage. Due to icy road conditions, traveling is perilous in these parts, but I'm refusing to cancel the show! ATS LIVE will be airing from my house on the banks of Lake Providence, LA! Two big reasons I

They Got Me!
My grown kids surprised me at Christmas. It was a wow moment, a tear-jerker, a really cool surprise. Y’all may remember that back during the summer, I told y'all about an awesome template that helps you to produce a very special biography. It's called "Where I'm From." I loved the exercise so much that I shared it with friends and family, immediate and extended, and did everything

The man and I are Louisiana bound today after a Houston visit with the Baby Beau Czars and their parents. I'm riding shotgun, totally wrapped up in the new Logos 5 upgrade to my beloved
Belle Rules of Regifting!
Hey y'all! I just heard that today was International Regifting Day-- which, of course, brought to mind a helpful guideline I wrote on the subject in my last book, Sue Ellen's Girl Ain't Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy. In the event that you haven't read that book, (and I will forgive you if this is so), I offer you those thoughts here as a little Merry Christmas
Of Sock Monkeys, Road Trips, and Radio Shows
Hey y'all, we're driving in from Houston where we celebrated Connor's first birthday in full out Sock Monkey style. Okay, so actually Beloved Hubby is driving in and I'm playing on my tech toys but someone has to keep y'all updated and tell you about this evening's radio show, right? :) Right! I knew y'all would see it my way! We should hit Monroe just in

Is it possible to look at suffering without looking away?
And now there are two. Really? 30 Days of Thankfulness seemed like a long time when we launched our annual All Things Southern gratitude drive. Perhaps you meant to join us and you just haven't gotten around to it. I understand. Here's another opportunity. Perhaps you thought of joining us but the size and scope of all the needy people in the world paralyzed you. I get that, too. I
