In Honor of Celebrating Friendship MonthBy Frankie Sherman I live in a sleepy little town in the Deep South. Sometimes after my morning workout I’ll have breakfast at our local restaurant with some of my girlfriends. These women are diverse in age and background, but as southern as sweet tea. Over cups of hot coffee, we share things that only …
