Cotton Blossom Dreams
with the
Delta Queens
There’s just something about
getting reconnected
to our roots!
I had an invitation to do just that
with a beautiful group of women…
a generation ahead of me…
to remind
this traveled soul
of where my seeds were sown…
They were planted in the South!
Oh how my soul was quenched with…
the
Delta
and its
Dawns
…
all coming together
unknowingly
rhythmically
showing me
…
this
is how you dance your way
into a day…
all welcoming me…
back to the place
where stories have souls
…
tickling my roots
where the water runs deep
in the grounded language of
Syllables
all dripped in honey
…
drawing from that sweet well…
of southern drawls and ya’lls
Perking
the innards of ones heart
for a second helpin’
of the next morsel to hear.
No gossip…
just captivated ears
hanging onto each note
of another melodic tale
that would eventually be told.
These southern gals…
had smiles full of nurture
and eyes full of light
…
Not one weed in
this well fertilized bunch!!!
All teamed up
for the mission of that day..
Seize it…
Embrace it…
and
Dance it away!
I mean…
Have you ever
slow danced
with a moment?
Well these gals reminded me how!
I understand now why I had to create another world…
Josephine’s World
Once you grow up in a town
filled with such story telling souls…
It makes footprints on your heart
with a need to create a path
back to that special place…
a path returning to seeing
through childlike eyes…
Awakening wonder within
…
Enjoying the moment of
now
and not
then or when.
May you enjoy
slow dancing
with each moment
through this story tellin’ soulful day!

These dreams you have to share with me! Come back to your roots soon please. I need a dose of you…
Donna! You know who I am referring to in this story … right? It was the trip that stirred up the accidental trunk show. I am so thankful for God placing me in the hands of such beautiful women that trip. It’s a little late but finally had a chance to spotlight how much it meant to me. Will be sending it out soon to everyone! I love you Delta Donna Dawn!
Of course, I looove the river delta and still enjoy driving through. There’s no place like home!! ❤️
There truly is no place like it! I know you feel the same… it was such a gift to grow up in that area!
