Five Years with Mississippi Thriving

Whew! When I tell you God knows how to keep the tears of gratitude flowing. I hadn’t expected to see this memory today.

Just thought I’d include the picture too.☺️

Five years ago, I created the social media platform Mississippi Thriving to help individuals, agencies, and organizations share helpful and healthful information with Mississippians. I also wanted it to serve as a resource hub for our communities and a place where people outside Mississippi could visit to see the positive things happening in our state. Statistically and politically, Mississippi looks pretty bad; however, in reality, we’re moving and making progress—slow progress, but progress. Maybe it’s not noteworthy to the world, but it means everything to us.


Y’all, God is so good. Only He knew how much I needed to see this memory today. I just love how He loves me.🥰

Forever grateful and blessed.♥️

  1. This is a great way to shine some light on your state. I’m glad Mississippi has you. One of my closest and dearest friends lives in Mississippi–born and raised. And she absolutely loves her home-state. She has lived in other places, but she went back home about 5 or 6 years ago. I do not think she’s leaving any tme soon 😊

    1. Thank you, trE. I love Mississippi too. It’s not as bad as people think it is. I was born here but spent most of my childhood in Kansas. My mom moved back in the late 90s and shortly afterwards became paralyzed. So, when I finished my tour in Turkey, I moved to Mississippi, and I’m still here.
