The South: where family and tradition are the sugar in our tea.

Friendship isn’t measured by time; not by how much you’ve given and received.  It is based on how much you value one another.

You should always celebrate being in the presence of love.

A man should never come between you and your friends.  Most of the time, they aren’t even worth it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being spoiled rotten.  It just means you are loved…a lot!

If you have siblings, you were given automatic best friends.  They have been there before everyone else and they will see through everything with you until the very end.

There are going to be people in your life that take advantage of you.  Your job is to recognize who those people are and cut them off before they can hurt you.  If not, you are the fool who let someone walk all over you.

Sometimes, your girlfriends just need to vent.  Don’t give your opinion, don’t be judgmental.  Just listen…that’s the number one job for a friend.

Let people into your heart…even if you are afraid that they will be close enough to hurt you.  You can’t spend your whole life being afraid of what people may do to you.

A true friend is not determined by how many times they call in a week or how many times they drop by in a month.  They are those people who you don’t have to talk to for months at a time and when the two of you get together, it’s just like old times.
