Today a woman from Virginia told me I have an accent. To which I said, oh puh-please.
Ha, ha.
-----
Accents are funny. I don't travel much, and I definitely don't travel to the South much.
The word 'your' is pronounced 'yo.'
Example: "Eat yo biscuit."
-----
People here call their parents momma and daddy. Even if you're 80, you have a momma and daddy, not parents, mom and dad or mother or father.
I like that.
-----
"I lied, but I was really confident about it."
-----
"A few simple but carefully crafted words go a long way."
-----
"Eat yo biscuit."
-----
"If it's what you want to do, what you want to do from the bottom of your heart, then do it. It's worth it."
-----
"Do you want to be associated with stupidness?"
-----
"You don't have to use a lot of words to tell your story. Just use the right words."
-----
"Do what you're passionate about. Life's too short to be unhappy."
-----
Seriously.
"Eat yo biscuit."

I'm at the National Federation of Press Women conference in Greenville, S.C.
