I grew up on a steady diet of Barbara Mandrell, the Judds, and Johnny Cash, and frankly I’m all the better for it. 👌🏻I will always belong where country music reigns.
.
So when my girl accompanies me to Music City 🎶 for a work trip, we get in some non-work fun, including a concert of all ’90’s country music 🤠 put on by an array of talented artists. (See my stories! Y’ALL.😱) I tell ya, Faith and I had to be resuscitated three different times because we kept dying FROM ALL THE AWESOME. 😍Thanks again, @anniefdowns, for telling us about the concert!
.
Faith was in charge of our itinerary, and that led us to this street art by @kelseymontagueart. Isn’t it gorgeous? As are you, Nashville. 💫

All in all, we were too late for the showy aspens but not for the showy view.

Here’s to the #wingwomen in your life and my life who choose encouragement over envy, kindness over competition, and who answer all the dumb questions without making us feel dumb.
.
I first met this feisty gal, Aimée, in 1999 at a birthday party for a mutual friend. However, she and I didn’t become friends till 15 years later when our paths crossed again at church in Colorado Springs. (Thank ya kindly, USAF!) She lets me ask all the insecure questions and answers them with shoot-from-the-hip honesty yet over-the-top kindness, and her friendship is one of my favorite belonging places.
.
Tag a #wingwoman in your own life—a loved one who has your back or share a pic of her yourself and use the hashtag #WhereIBelongWednesday! 👯‍♀️
