About Me

     I'm a teacher and a writer, and I make a mean pimento cheese. I grew up in Bishopville, SC, and believe small-town people really are the best.  I have spent my adult life in the big city of Columbia, SC, with my daughter and my dog.  Most days find me on my back porch.  It's definitely the best spot in the house. 

​

    I love sharing everyday life lessons through my weekly blog, column, and books. Thanks for checking out my site. I hope you enjoy reading my stories.
