Just bc I’m moving back home to Texas doesn’t mean I won’t come see @ChrisYoungMusic … come play at Luckenbach, Stonewall Peach Jamboree, Albert Dancehall (my Grandfather’s old hay barn now a country music venue) or Gillespie County Fair & there’s alway the San Antonio Rodeo!
Coming to see you @ChrisYoungMusic@opry Thursday night for my last time before moving back home to Texas… the ranch in Luckenbach needs me and this cowgirl wants to ask if you might consider playing “Who I Am With You” or “Old Love Feels New”

This is good 💯
Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis
After watching “Bell Bottom Country” on @hulu I have so much admiration for @laineywilson and know she represents women in country music and women in general as such a powerful voice and person!
I've learned not to waste my time thinking about things I have no control over. There's so much peace in allowing God to fight for me. Peace in surrendering to His plans for me 🤍
My final thoughts and things I learned in 2023…most challenging year in my adult life.
You can’t change the people around you, but you can change the people you choose to be around.
The more grateful you are, the more present you become.
I’ve learned I am stubborn and not always right, even though my heart may tell me so. The heart is a compass, not a map. Reasoning must navigate the journey.
You can be a passenger in life, or you can grab the wheel, and drive it til the wheels fall off. 2024 is going to be a great road trip.
Happy New Year yall. Love ya.
