From the initial suggestion in a writing class to meeting a director by chance, and ultimately performing on stage, I experienced the challenges, surprises, and joys of stepping out of my comfort zone. This transformative experience not only boosted my confidence but also helped me connect deeply with my writing and the audience, proving that synchronicity can lead to remarkable personal growth and fulfillment.

I have a deep-rooted love for Alabama football, a tradition handed down from my daddy (who would have celebrated his 104th birthday today). Growing up in the South, Saturdays were marked by football gatherings, food, and camaraderie. Listen as I share fond memories of these gatherings, the joy and anguish of being an Alabama fan, and how this passion was rekindled in my 40s. Now, as a diehard fan, I follow not only my college team but also Alabama alumni in the NFL. Football remains a cherished tradition in my life, filling my Saturdays with excitement and community.

Like many people of the world, I recently watched a bit of the Olympics and found myself somewhat awestruck. After seeing those inspiring athletes and, believe it nor not, as a result of my own experience working with a trainer at the gym, I am reminded of the significance of perseverance and recalibration in achieving fitness goals. There is great value of self-belief, adapting to challenges, and achieving personal victories in both physical fitness and life. Reset and finish strong.
