Jamie at Door The flower of Midlife sifted through faith,family and heaping helping of southern fried chicken.

Jamie is a columnist and freelance writer living in Madison, Georgia. In her weekly column, South Main Muse, she observes the joys, questions (Was that my first hot flash?) and poignancies surrounding midlife in a small southern town.

A sacrificially-loving wife, doting-nurturing mother of three, Jamie often experiences difficulty separating reality from fiction; especially when describing herself as wife and mother.

When not loving, doting or writing, she can be found running, pestering her triathlete friends, and finding any excuse to be outside in God's great creation.

If you should ever drop by for a visit, expect an open door, freshly-brewed cup of coffee and laughter. No guarantees of spotless kitchen or made beds.
