I share your love of clothes and dressing up. Sometimes I feel guilty and shallow and then I have moments that remind me how transformative, even transcendental, they can be. I’ve had my favourite jacket since about 1994 or 5!
I started the exercise and it really got be thinking. I have to take-aways so far. A) Some of the things are, upon reflection, very superficial and B) Many of the other things are kind of “defence mechanisms” to avoid emotional pain and I just wouldn’t be me or I’d be a different kind of me...
You have a great sense of style, which goes with your other keen sensibilities. One positive thing about getting older is that you don’t care as much what people think of you. It’s a little easier to be yourself without apology.
Roberta Flack’s soulful sound also reveals her good soul—a huge animal lover with a big heart. I was involved with a kitten rescue organization for many years and she always helped us out.
You have a great sense of style, it's unique, individualized. Love your dress and your sissy in this picture. I love you and your sissy both but I really wish I was your SIL, Allison. 😍 Have a great week.
Dear Allison: As a seasoned elder Southern "boy" whose Southern Baptist mama tried to raise "right," may I say with honesty and no sense of sexism, you and your lovely sister are two beauties, who make me proud to have married a good "Southern" girl, and enjoyed her love, devotion, faithfulness, respect and friendship for over 56 years, before God took her home with Him. Be healthy, happy, successful, blessed, loved and safe always. God may not give you everything you want. However my prayer is that He gives you everything you need. _ MRVERITAS.SUBSTACK.COM
Thanks for these Allison. Truly appreciate what you’re doing in this series. As for Daisy Jones, I really enjoyed the series for a while, but then had to ‘put it away’...maybe will go back and revisit later
Brene Brown really hits home with this message. The universe is a time when you are challenged by the universe to let go of what you think you are supposed to be and embrace who you are. So true. So true.
I listened to Roberta Flack this morning at the office and closed my eyes and got lost in her voice and phrasing and the great band. She’s a treasure. Love the photo of you and your sister. Love vintage clothes! Beautiful dress!
Love the Henna Hamsa. Love your detail. You’re very creative.
Hello Allison, Sunday's List was good! Roberta, oh yes, and the dress! I am way past frugal so when you stated twenty years🤪🤪 I am stomping my right foot screaming "hell yes"! Enjoy the boy, and thank you from a gal a little north of Chattanooga ✌️
Love these lists even when I don’t get to them until Wednesday! Beautiful photo of you and Shelby. I had a similar version of that dress 14 years ago and miss it!
If only I could bottle Brene’ Brown up with one of those bubble wands and just wave little spheres in the air that popped wisdom or encouragement on everyone in range. Thank you for sharing.

Thank You, Allison
I had a ticket to see Shelby Thursday night, but sadly I did not go for reasons I can’t mention. I so wanted to see the show.
Your dress is very pretty and it’s a great picture of you & Shelby.
Thank you for your words
I get it
Have fun getting ready for JH to come home.
xoxo

That dress is fabulous!!
You and your sister both look great! Not everybody can fit into clothes they wore 20 years ago. Congrats.
