It’s been a minute (that’s Southern for a while) since I posted, and a lot of life has happened since 2019. I have more gray hair and wrinkles, but I’d like to think I am wiser. I guess time will tell. I’ve missed writing and have said for years, “I need to get back to […]

This word is stuck in my mind. It is a real word and in fact, a very rare word. Most people use words like largeness, enormity, abundance, vastness, instead of bigness. After Hurricane Katrina, I made many trips down Beach Blvd. in Hancock County as I worked with my team of case managers, construction coordinators, […]
