Several years ago, a group of friends and I traveled to Asheville for a conference about home, life and everything in between. There, I sat under the teaching of Rhoda with Southern Hospitality.

Audrey is my oldest cousin. Her dad and my dad are brothers. And my entire life I looked up to her. (This is Audrey with her first grandchild!) Audrey is a gift. The way she lights up a room and lights up a stage is something I always wanted to emulate. She and I both […]
