Many people underestimate the impact that mental illness can have on an individual or family. It can be difficult to admit that you have a mental health problem in your life. Secondly, it can be just as difficult in getting the people you know to understand your situation without making any kinds of judgments. As a result, here are six reasons why you should make your mental health an important priority in your life. 1. Your situation will improve if you get help: Your anxieties and fears can be challenging to manage and more than likely you will need some...Article Link

Those of us who follow Alabama politics had been awaiting late May like kids waiting for Santa Claus at Christmas. We knew May 19 would be the golden opening date for candidates to begin making their announcements for governor and other statewide constitutional offices. Why? Because the law stipulates that candidates can begin raising campaign dollars exactly one year prior to the primary election, which is set for May 19, 2026. The gubernatorial and the U.S. Senate races will take up all the oxygen and excitement. However, the powers that be in Montgomery – big special interests and big lobbyists...Article Link

Everybody loves a hero, but does everybody want to be one? Being a hero usually comes at some cost. What is the definition of a hero? I looked it up and here is what I found. First, a hero is a remarkably brave person: somebody who commits an act of remarkable bravery or who has shown an admirable quality such as great courage or strength of character. Secondly, a hero is someone who is admired for outstanding achievements or qualities. Then, a hero can also be the principal character in a movie, novel, or play. Another definition given for a...Article Link

Not too long ago, my husband and I were running errands in Thomasville. Our last stop was Tractor Supply. He stayed in the car while I ran in the store. As I walked out, I saw that my car's twin had joined him in the parking lot. It always excites me to see “fun vehicles,” especially V8 Mustangs. Both cars were late model black Ford Mustang GT 5.0s with the performance package. An easy way to identify these cars is by the stock high spoiler. The other driver parked perfectly beside me, making a Kodak moment, for sure. I was...Article Link

Somehow, this month marks six years. It still feels like yesterday to me. It still feels surreal. Nothing about life really prepares you to lose someone you love. I've seen enough news stories to know these things happen, but I never expected to lose my brother in a car accident, especially not on my wedding anniversary. To say it out loud sounds like some awful plot twist in a dramatic movie, but I can't press “pause” on this one.

JACKSON -- Few in the crowd that jammed into the Jackson Assembly House on June 26 knew where E.J. Crowell had decided to play college football, perhaps because Crowell himself didn't know for sure until the early morning hours. “It was last night,” he said. “Probably one something in the morning.” Even Jackson coach Cody Flournoy claimed he didn't know ahead of time, so those in the audience who came to witness the next pages in the history of the nation's No. 1-ranked running back prospect hung anxiously on each of Crowell's words.
