Alabama hosts a wealth of writers and artists that have honed their skills while residing on Alabama soil. Continue reading “Rural Alabama Trip to Inspire”

Songwriters Festival 2018

Grill Man and I attended the 30a Songwriters Festival  2018 in Seaside with friends. As I continue to age (thankfully), I am reminded that music or friends all touch our soul in a way that is important.

New Orleans 101, Friends, Food & more

New Orleans is a city that I love. I don’t presently live there but visit as often as I may. A city steeped in old world traditions, superstitions and architecture. New Orleans is a small big city.
