I always joke with my sweetheart that if you have lived in the South for ten years, you are a transplant.  But, at the same time, I think being Southern means a lot of different things to different people.  If you feel that the South is in your soul, then you areSouthern.

You can’t consider yourself a southern belle if you can’t make a good batch of sweet tea.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mamas out there in the world!

If you don’t have anything nice to say, whisper it to your best friend.

Happy Oaks, belles and beaus!

Convince yourself your are invincible and there will be no obstacle you can’t overcome.

Wit, charm, kindness, and a love of adventure make up the perfect Southern Belle.

Lessons from a Southern Belle would like to send a message to our (Yankee) brothers and sisters up north.  My thoughts are with you, my prayers as well.  Plato once said, “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”  Whoever committed this crime is someone of small and sick-mindedness; “afraid of the light” so to say.  My heart goes out to the victims of the families.

Once you realize that there are no secrets in a small town, the better off you’ll be.

I withheld so much college ball spam yesterday from the blog, but I just want to give a shout out to the boys playing for my city, the Louisville Cardinals!  I am very proud of them!

Tonight, the Lady Cards battle it out for their own championship title!  I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
