Y'all, I've been busier than a long-tailed cat in a room full o' rockin' chairs these last few months. When last I blogged, I was embarkin' on what would be my new future since the "safe" company I was workin' for decided they didn't need me anymore.
Well, I do believe that everything happens for a reason. Now, I know that's what some of my fancy friends would call a "trite" statement, but it's more than something to say when your cousin announces she's pregnant with her 13th child, but that's another blog for another day.
Just yesterday, I was talkin' to my old friend Mary Frances Pickles, and she was just a-cryin' and carryin' on about how overwhelmed she is, and how she has these inexplicable feelings of guilt and remorse, and that she feels a sense of impending doom. I told her, I said, "Mary Frances, everything happens for a reason. The good Lord didn't give you a stern, horsey-looking face and a passion for sensible shoes for nothin'. Get out there and find yourself a purpose instead of making yourself and other people miserable."
And y'all know what? She looked down that long nose of hers at me, and said, "You're right, Marjean. I just needed to hear it from someone who would tell me the honest truth. Thank you."
It was right then that I realized what MY purpose is: to give honest advice to people who, bless their hearts, just don't know what to do. I mean, y'all know me...I've never been at a loss for two things: opinions and an appetite. But only one of those could be of benefit to my fellow man.
So, my friends, I am here to announce my new career, and the new direction of Marjean's Minutes. I am now an advice columnist! And this website will be the forum from which I dispense my advice, ideas and occasional recipe. So, let me hear from you, folks! Send me your questions, queries and cries for help and advice at askmarjean@gmail.com. And look for your answers to be posted here, on the new "Ask Marjean" website!
Love and Kisses,
Marjean

Ooh girl, I know just how that SKD can be! You handled her just fine! She also sweetens up with a lump of sugar or a nice shiny apple.
Glad to see you found your callin' of helpin' folks. Before I go and use your service, I just wanna make sure that it's all confidential-like so know one knows about my most secretest issues...?
PLEASE SHARE YOUR FRIED PICKLE RECIPE ASAP!!!
Lookin' forward to more blogs!
I'm so glad you're going to be serving up heapin' spoonful of that good ol' southern advice! I'd just love to sit down with you and Miss Paula Deen and chew the fat! The world is a much better place with Marjean in it!
