Thought for the week — (Words of Ben Carson, with whom I AGREE) — I have ALREADY won the lottery. I was born in AMERICA and I KNOW the LORD.
This is one of my favorite times of the year, the first part of autumn before all the leaves are gone. Summer has taken its last gasp, vacations are over, trip photos have been posted and viewed, and the last of the pools are closed till next year.
Growing up and being black, certain things were natural – the school you attended, the places you went, the people you associated with, and the political party you affiliated with.
The lady on the radio was a 34-year-old, self-described “life-coach” and “Mommy Blogger” — whatever the hell those two things are — who was enjoying her newfound fame as the person who, apparently, has invented the trend of allowing her children to decide every once in awhile, on their own, …
Recently there was a short piece in the Nashville paper about a new pub opening in the city. We know that darts have long been associated with these establishments but this one is taking this type activity to the ultimate level. They will feature axe throwing. Yes, you did read that correc…

The race for governor is on. Both Karl Dean and Bill Lee are crisscrossing the state talking about the many challenges facing Tennessee and the opportunities to make the state a better place to live.
I don’t know about you and your people, but at my house we are pretty disappointed in October. It is our favorite month of the year. Normally, there’s blue skies, sunshine, brightly colored trees and piles of leaves on the ground just waiting for us to jump in.
Dear Readers,
As I travel around the country, I continue to run into the same issues regardless of industry, size of the company or how long it has been in existence. One of those is a frustration with the lack of accountability. Even though the term is overused, the problem hasn’t gone away. Some migh…

I yelled at a possum the other night and felt bad about it later.
The Webb School was founded by the Webb brothers in 1870 in Culleoka and moved to Bell Buckle in 1886. It is said that W. R. Webb (called "Old Sawney" by students) was the public face of the school. He not only taught a number of subjects but was also very quotable. He liked trotting hors…
Last Friday night my hubby and I eagerly awaited the return of Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing.” Like our other favorite show, “The Middle,” the quirky family dynamics make us laugh. There is always a message about various family issues that we could relate to. And right now, we all need laughter.
During the first U.S. Senate debate between Republican Congressman Marsha Blackburn and former Democrat Gov. Phil Bredesen, I was encouraged to hear Marsha push back against single payer health care.
On Saturday, as news of Tennessee State University’s Christion Abercrombie’s injury began circulating, my worst fears as a football mother were being lived out by another mom. When your son loves football with heart and soul, you know the risks. We don’t often talk about them as it’s the uns…
So, Mom and I have been talking and barking about Alexa, that virtual assistant gadget. We do not have one. Honestly, we’re the only ones I know who have only one TV in the house. Mom is not a big TV watcher usually, but that changes now in football season. Call me crazy, but I’m not a fan…

I went to one of the big box stores — I won’t say which one because I wouldn’t want to TARGET them by placing a BIG RED BULL’S EYE on them by unfairly making a TARGET of them by what I’m about to write — to pick up a video game for Other Boy’s birthday and when I got there all the games were…
Thought for the week — Prayer is a gift to be shared!
Soooooo, Mr. Jefferson, our cat, has been badgering me for months on end to let him write just one column. He says I am cheating all the kitties out there who don’t have a cat column to read. Honestly, he has worn me out. I’ve thrown up my paws, headed to the kitchen and turned the keyboard …
