Which Bridge Lady are you?


I don’t know about y’all… but I sure do love the Bridge Ladies 😁❤️

Nelda, Glory, Lora, and Ethel Sue—each one brings something different to the table:

wisdom, dreams, plans… or just enough sparkle to keep life interesting.

And the more I think about them, the more I realize something:

We all carry a little bit of each of them.

But usually… one rises to the surface.

The way you see things.

The way you love people.

The way you show up when it matters most.

So I got to wondering…

👉 Which Bridge Lady are you most like?

I put together a quick little quiz for you—and I hope it encourages you on the journey. ❤️🤗

When done put your answer in the poll and I will email you the results. 😁👍

Hello, dear one. I've been thinking about closed doors, lately. Not the kind we choose to close ourselves. The ones we were quite certain were supposed to stay open, but then there they are… closed.

Hey there, Reader, What would you do if you'd kept a secret from everyone you loved for nearly fifteen years? And then one morning… Ethel Sue figured it out. 😅 Last week, we left her sitting at the dining room table with her purple folder, two bowls of peach cobbler, and the person she believed was behind the Whispering Fence. And Ethel Sue had questions. Naturally, she'd made a list, two in fact, but in the end she was winging it mostly. 😂 Here's a little peek at some of what she wanted to...
