What's Next on the Show?!

Wow, I got a personal message from Jill Conner Browne asking for the number to call in the show! How cool is that. I have to admit, I'm not a very starstruck kind of gal, unless you are, like, Elvis or maybe Mick Jagger. But I think it would be very cool to speak with Jill. Jill Conner Browne is the NY Times Best Selling Author of The Sweet Potato Queen books. I love them all, specifically, The Sweet Potato Queen's Book Of Love. I laughed so hard I cried reading that book and when I finished it, I read it all over again, just to be sure that I loved it as much as I thought. I have recommended it to every friend I have and loaned my copy to a friend, just to pass it on.

I quote Jill often. The Prissy Hen's SO relate to so many of the experiences that she writes about that it just personalizes the read. And, of course, we grew up blessed to be Southern, so we not only relate to the experiences but the way she expresses them. We also are very colorful talkers, we love to be extreme sometimes to the point of tacky and we have learned hard lessons by not being "particular", a subject on which there is an entire chapter.

I sure do hope she calls us. I think it would be some interesting conversation!

Time To Dance

I can't believe how long since my last post. It brought me to tears when I logged on and read my last post. What a happy post it was. Made the pain of Joshua's death more sharp when I saw it this morning.

Joshua died last Thursday morning, July 1st. The joy of finding a donor was matched by the devastation when the donor backed out and Joshua continued down a path that in his own words, didn't have any time-outs. I have struggled a lot over the past weeks with my faith. But in my heart, I know that Joshua did not lose his battle. He won the battle. He is free. His faith insprired me, his love of life made me re-focus and re-prioritize. Time to live each moment, savor every little thing, don't leave any "what-ifs."

Time to dance...
