Episode 10 ~ Welcome back to the Southern Citizen. Long time; no see. Or should I say, long time; no hear. For our family, Autumn of 2024 has been one for the books. It’s been a season full of school, work, travel, and the general act of living life as best we know how.
In an unexpected turn of events, it has also been a season loss; a season of goodbye for now. My forever young mother-in-law Ms. Kay slipped away into the next room – a room prepared for her by the Savior.
During the days that followed her earthly departure, we looked for ways to celebrate Ms. Kay.
We searched through old photos looking for the ones that captured her charm.
We cut zinnias from our yard to use in countless flower arrangements.
We requested folks wear color to her service because, after all, color was her favorite. And ROY G. BIV, did folks understand the assignment: florals, jewel tones, tie dye, Hawaiian shirts, animal print, and even a few couples dressed in coordinating outfits. We saw and loved it all.
During the afternoon following her service, we asked folks to talk with us about Ms. Kay. And that’s what you are about to hear. During the hustle and bustle of a large family meal, folks shared their perspective, their memory, their story of Ms. Kay.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
