Southern Quote of the Day(SQTD):It’s a Cold Wind that Never Changes!

I remember like yesterday, mama would talkto friends on the phone or try to get a point across to daddy and she would often say; “It’s a cold wind that never changes!”  Like most southern- fried quotes, I pondered this much of my childhood to young adulthood.  I recently have come to appreciate the deep meaning of this quote.  In this miraculous universe that we are blessed with; it revolves and changes.  God made the seasons to change from winter to summer and in between.  Seasons are also comparable to life changes.  It’s natural progression and revolution/evolution ( whatever your flavor).  Hence, if something or someone never changes; it’s considered cold, unforgiving, brutal, stubborn and not progressive.  

Be careful not to become a cold wind….Progress and evolve!  Be relevant in each season!

Southern Quote of The Day: Don’t Fatten the Frog for the Snake

I remember having a conversation with my coworker several years back about what was going on with an aquaintance. In other words…Gossip! At the end of the conversation, she stated,  “Mama always said don’t fatten the frog for the snake!” She must have seen the puzzled look on my face so she explained what it meant. In layman’s terms, it means to never build up something for it to blindsidely taken from you.

This quote crossed my mind today because as women, we can can put so much time, care and concern into a man to build his ego and status. Sometimes all that effort is later afforded to another woman leaving youlike a baker without a taste.
