Do or Don’t
Last week, I had a haircut. The new stylist cut my hair short. Very short. Much shorter than usual. So short, I almost don’t recognize myself when I look in the mirror. In looking at childhood pictures, I saw how curly my hair was and wondered if it would curl that much now if not…

Don’t Go Breaking My Heart
If you’re about my age, that title may trigger the memory of a song by the same title released in June of 1976 by Elton John and KiKi Dee. It’s one of those lines in a song that can really get stuck in your head. In fact, I’m willing to bet that some of you…
Make Every Day a Sweet Monday
The blooming of springtime in the South is always beautiful, and I could think of no more wonderful way to welcome it than by gathering with precious women on March 30th, 2026, in Nashville, Tennessee, on a sweet Monday for Sweet Monday’s “The Most High Tea.” This special celebration marked the 30th anniversary of www.sweetmonday.org, the ministry…
