I have had the privilege of editing and ghostwriti

I have had the privilege of editing and ghostwriting books since 2010 and it never ceases to thrill me when a client expresses their appreciation for my work.

This gift of chocolates is especially meaningful because the author thought the publisher’s choice of me as editor was not a good match.
We stuck to our shared goal of producing a meaningful and entertaining book, and found friendship in the process.

My younger self would not have been the right editor for this client because she was more self-centered and impatient. Age—and a lot of hard knocks—has brought me to a better version of myself. I am so grateful for all the relationships that have knocked off (some) of my sharper edges. It’s been worth the pain.

Lookie here! Issue #2 of The Bitter Southerner featuring Michael Stipe on the cover (and oh, those earrings!). You see my sunglasses to give you perspective on the sheer SIZE of this magazine. Digging in right now (wearing same shades) on my sunny balcony.

Pic#2 for those of you eager to learn who else contributed (including Alice Walker!)

In case you’re new: “The Bitter Southerner has a single aim: to uncover the American South in all its truth and complexity — and in the process to break stereotypes about the region and its people by pushing out important, difficult, uncomfortable, irreverent, witty, addictive, and always enjoyable stories that turn myths about the South inside out. Every week.”

There’s more to this than is apparent from a quick scroll, folks.

Yes, that’s 18-month-old me in a little romper set that my grandmother sewed with fabric left over from the dress she made for my mom.

Yes, I’m wearing my great-grandfather’s leather slippers, my big toe popping out over the top.

Yes, I know the artist. She’s my beloved great aunt, Olivia Maddix, who recreated the scene from a photograph.

The piece de resistance is off-camera: a quilt with bits of that very same romper, also sewn by my grandmother a couple of years before she ascended to the next world. The tulips are in a vase passed down from her through my mother’s generosity.

I’ve had to give away dozens of heirlooms as I’ve downsized, but these treasures from my mother line are precious. My cup runneth over.

Omg I could t stop staring at this beauty! The chrome, the whitewalls, the fin, and the steering wheel that would crack your sternum if you crashed. Couldn’t resist sharing!

New haircut, followed by new sunglasses (prescription of course). A refresh in the personal grooming department!

Goodbye, Remo! It was a great 15 years of DrumSTRONG drumming to beat cancer. Each scale has the name of someone held in love and remembrance.

Morning has broken🎵🎼🎶 (fellow old-timers sing along!)

My Giant Taro plant has been giving me a new monthly shoot for the past two months! And that pencil tree (fire stick)—taking over!

I remember my mother taking care of her plants in the morning —talking to them, singing—and I finally understand the joy of plant parenting. Simple pleasures (tip of the hat to morning sun through a 7’ window)

4-mile walk on the beach with this man of mine. Married 37 years this month and he’s as fit as ever. In many ways Matt is like a migratory animal, always returning to the sea to be refreshed and restored.

The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to the ocean--
Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetition. ~Robert Frost
