Welcome La'Tonya


NAME:
La'Tonya Richardson

LOCATION:
Pine Bluff, AR

AGE:
I'm 41, and loving every minute of it. I don't look 41, and I like to think I look 26. At least I feel 26.


HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BLOGGING FOR:
September 9, made one year. Happy Bloggyversery to me!

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION THE MEDIA GIVES OF WOMEN:
The media puts us in categories. We're either the hot in the pants hussy, the happy home maker, domineering man hater, or the timid woman who has grits for brains, and is just waiting for a man to come rescue her. We are so much more, lawyers, doctors, mothers and super hero's to name a few.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU THE MOST:
Watching God in nature. How a tree blooms every spring, and reaches toward the sky, geese flying in formation, the a perfect sunset, in colors on God has in his box.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING IN YOUR SPARE TIME:
Writing, cooking, and watching movies with the family.

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS BLOG:
I love sites that bring together women in positive ventures.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE DISH:
Today, my favorite dish is fried green tomatoes. Technically it's still summer, and it has been my favorite southern summer dish for the past few months. Give me another month, I'll have a fall favorite.

YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO SPEND TIME:
A small community called Caledonia, on about 80 acres. Although my grandparents are no longer there, the memories, and peace remain.

WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE A WOMAN:
That I came from proud, hard working, smart women, and now I have the opportunity to pass that on to my four girls.
BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU EVER RECEIVED WAS:

Never ask for more than you're willing to work for. Remembering that, makes me think twice before I raise my hand.
