About Me

"The root of the word courage is cor -- the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage had a very different definition than it does today.
Courage originally meant to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart."

I am a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a teacher, a student and a friend.  I am both liberal and Southern...which, many days, seems to be contradicting identities.  I have never "blogged" before, but a dear friend suggested that I start one...so a 'Hippy Chick' was born. This humbling endeavor is a small step towards the original meaning of courage.   I am more than a little hesitant to share my thoughts and opinions, so be gentle with me!  Peace.
