Hey, Y'all!
whispers... Just in case ya can't tell from that opening line, I'm a Suth'uhn gal!
Born & raised in Arkansas, I'm a 50-year old coffee-loving, elementary teaching momma who's looking forward to an early retirement in a few years. Yep! I've decided that there's a whole lot more to life than working and paying bills, so I plan to become debt-free and bow out of the rat race early!
I walked out of an abusive marriage a few years ago and my youngest is about to graduate this year. For the first time in my entire life, I'm going to be completely on my own and I'm looking around wondering who the heck I am! I realize that I've been so consumed with raising kids, battling through a toxic marriage, and working to pay the bills that I've lost track of ME through the years.
So what's a girl to do?
She throws herself onto a new social media platform and blogs her way through the next chapter of her life, of course!
What will I be writing about?
Dangitall! Your guess is as good as mine! LOL
Pretty sure my Steemit adventures will include family life, country living, self help, personal finance, and showcasing products from my online gift shops from time to time. Oh! And coffee! I'll probably mention coffee on more than one occasion!
So if you're not afraid to tag along behind a Suth'uhn chick, follow me and I'll do my best to lead you all astray! I have a feelin' y'all better hitch up your panties 'cuz it's gonna get a little bumpy around here!

Welcome to Steemit!
Thank you!
Glad you were able to surpass the trials and the challenges you've encountered with your previous married life. May this community serve a purpose in your life and can motivate you each and every day, you are still lucky to have your children with you and I know that they are your biggest foundation. =)
Thank you! Yes, my kids are my biggest joy. :)
Loving this community so far! Everyone has been so helpful and I haven’t seen all of the trolls that Facebook seems to attract. I think I may have found my new home! 😊
Hello and welcome from another Southern gal and fellow Steemit newbie!
Woo Hoo! I’m draggin’ all the Suth’uhn folks from the shadows! Thanks for the welcome!
Welcome to Steemit. You are going to love it here..
Welcome to Steemit. I can tell by your intro that your blog will be a hoot. Followed! Oh, and I love me some southern talk y'all.
Thank you! 💋
Well now, honey... if ya love to listen to Suth’uhn chicks mouth off, I’m your gal! 😁
Followed back!
Well hot diggity!
Welcome to Steemit. Abuse is a tough thing to deal with. I was in an abusive relationship a while back too, narcissistic abuse. It's been over a decade, but I still suffer from CPTSD from the trauma I experience. I talk a lot about healing and self-empowerment, gaming, and silly stuff ;)
I gave you a follow. I look forward in reading more posts from you :)
Yes! Narcissistic is the perfect word! 🙌🏼
Sorry to hear that you dealt with such trauma. Mine was more mental than physical, but I definitely know what you mean about dealing with the fallout. I’ve always been a positive person, but I really have to catch myself veering over into self-doubt territory now. 😕
Not sure what I’m going to talk about yet, but your posts sound interesting, so I’ve followed you back. Looking forward to reading!
Thanks.
Yeah, it's tough. I fell into self-loathing. I had to work my way out of that hole to learn to love myself. It's such a relief when I can catch myself and step out before falling. And when I feel I might still fall, my husband catches me and helps me get my bearings back. He lends a hand, but I still do the climbing. It's a good climb ;)
Howdy! Welcome, great introduction! Happy steeming!
Thank you! I'm so excited to be here! I've been waiting very impatiently for my account to be approved!
Well hey there Missy! I am Southern born and Southern bred, and also a newbie around here, so that puts us smack dab in the same jon boat don't it? LOL! I don't have any panties to pull up as you suggested, but I will hitch -up my boxers a tad. You will have a lot of fun here on Steemit, I sure am. Following you now , will be looking for your future posts. Welcome, and enjoy your newfound freedom!
Yay! Country folk! I’m in Arkansas... or as I like to fondly refer to it... ArkanASS... LOL Where are you from?
I’m having a blast so far! I’ve been reading here instead of reading books! Followed you back and can’t wait to go through your posts. 👍🏼
I'm from good ole North Carolina and my wife and I love it here!
My posts aren't much at the moment, but I'm just getting warmed up, tons more to come.
Thanks for following me, I look forward to your future posts!
Welcome to Steemit my friend!
