Booking Signing at Barnes and Noble in Augusta, GA January 27, Augusta Mall at 2 PM. I heard this story and it quickly became one of my favorites to share from the platform. First of all, it is about a bold, beauty queen wanna-be. If you click on the video, it’s only 4.5 minutes, and you will hear funny moments plus great advice for the coming new year. Here is my take of the story- –Challenge yourself! Talking to yourself negatively or listening to those who define you in a negative way, can be crippling. Give it a go and enjoy the possibilities! –Become really good at Continue Reading
Stop Being So Trashy; Read She Let GO!
Can You Let Go? My knees buckled when I read this poem by Reverend Safire Rose entitled, She Let Go. This message is so simple but we make “letting go” so complex. Seriously, take time to read this poem and share it with others. She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go. She let go of the fear. She let go of the judgments. She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she Continue Reading
Laughing at Myself Through Christmas Stress
Click on the picture and download free chapters! Have you ever had a crazy day of busyness? The song, It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, played over and over in my head. Can I add these new lyrics… for Christmas stress? I was practically in a panic as I rushed to get dressed to start a long day of “to-dos.” My Christmas list was long and my time to shop was short. How strange—you don’t see men stressing out shopping… until Christmas Eve. And after standing in seemingly endless checkout lines, and walking my legs off searching for Continue Reading
Christmas Parades – What A Ride
Gracious, I had a blast riding in Christmas Parades! I became a skilled candy-thrower and I had perfected my beauty queen wave. But I learned more than just how to wave in parades. I believe these “rhinestoned lessons” taught me how to laugh at myself along with developing a healthy attitude while riding in a kazillion Christmas parades. Here are a few really funny, timeless lessons I learned. Don’t take yourself too seriously. I was asked to be the Grand Marshall in a small town parade. Well, I thought I was the most important part of the parade until the Continue Reading

The Ta-Ta Song
No doubt, mammograms and taking care of our ta-tas can give us moments that flip us out. Last year when I was having my annual screening, I was told there was “something” there and a diagnostic was needed. I was not afraid until after several more films were examined, a sonogram was suggested. Yep, I about flipped out! Thank the Lord, all was well after several hours of rechecks. My sister had the same experience but she was not as fortunate. She made a decision to stop having mammograms and years later, breast cancer was discovered leading to a double mastectomy. Continue Reading

Lessons from Rhinestones…Find Your Shine
Six days to go before “Rhinestones on my Flip-Flops” is released! [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhMTreK4lwI&feature=youtu.be[/youtube] Check out this early review from Netgalley: This book is so snarky-funny, but in a gracious way. The author says all of those things that we know, but we don’t talk about. (Well, at least, us Southern girls were taught not to talk about them.) She keeps it real and opens up an honest conversation. This is like sitting down to coffee (maybe with a splash of Kahlua!) with your best girlfriend… Have you ever felt like a complete flop? Has your life ever flipped? YES is my answer! Now, let’s Continue Reading
Hurricane Irma Take-A-Ways
Supposedly, animals react during unusual weather. I did not believe it until my feral-ish kitty ran through our den, jumped up onto the tv cabinet, and began fighting the swirling rains bands of Irma displayed on the television. If that wasn’t enough, she then turned her attention to Jim Cantore, weather channel icon, and tried to fight him too. You go, Jenks. I think all who were affected by Hurricane Irma felt the same way. That storm just kept flip-flopping! In my book, “Rhinestones on My Flip-flops” to be released in under two weeks, I focus on how life can change and flip so Continue Reading
My WOW Woman Momma and Hurricane Irma
I am watching Hurricane Irma and could not resist sharing this story about my funny and WOW mother (Woman of Wisdom). My new book, “Rhinetones on my Flip-Flops” to be released on 9/26 is loaded with some of my favorite Southern tales so here is a memory to make you chuckle. Only in the South… My WOW Woman Momma and Hurricane Irma Momma was in the Intensive Care Unit recovering from heart surgery. We were only allowed to visit every two hours; I was always anxious to see her every morning. Momma’s doctor, Dr. Schweiger was making his rounds. My sister and Continue Reading
