It's grandparent's day...I drove from Nashville to Owensboro this morning to sit with my family in Grandpa's hospital room and as I pass the Long John Silvers that Granny and Grandpa used to take us to eat after church on Saturday nights, the song Grandpa comes on the radio. I thought what on earth and then when I get to the hospital and my mom is showing me a video of my tiny little cousins singing that same song to our Grandpa just a few months ago...I wish he could sit up and start telling us about the good ole days again...but here a lot of us are here watching my sweet, beautiful Granny at his bedside, holding his hand, and praying. We know it won't be long before Grandpa goes home but we have had the most beautiful Grandparents who have been the most amazing example of love, sacrifice, and faith.

As a female who was a prior athlete and never was one of those little, tiny girls, it's always been important to me to be a role model for other young girls. I tell them don't worry about the scale. It's ok to look like an athlete. It's ok to have muscle. It's ok to be the girl that's stronger than other girls. Don't shy away from being the strong one. So...when I get a note from a parent of one of my younger female Darkside athletes that her and her workout partners wanted to tag me because they're showing muscle...proud doesn't even describe it! I've heard all of the comments and mostly from other women unfortunately so stand apart from the rest girls and keep getting strong!
..and remember what USA Rugby athlete and Olympic medalist Ilona Maher said:

Dear girl with the big shoulders,

You are not undesirable
You are not built like a linebacker
You are not manly
You are not unattractive

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
YOU ARE IMPOSING
YOU ARE POWERFUL
YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT

Put your shoulders back, wear your head high, and walk into any room like you own the place.

Happy birthday to my hero...she will never realize how much she has influenced me. She's the hardest worker, the most positive happy person, so faithful and just a beautiful soul. She always says the Lord has been good to us...He certainly as because He blessed us with THE BEST! Happy 90th birthday Granny Hootie!!! We all love you so very much! And yes she rocked out with this new hip...would never even know she had it done a few weeks ago!!!
