- Hi, I'm Brooke.
- Hi, I'm Jo.
- And I'm Heather.
- [All] And we're The Sweet Magnolias.
(laughs)
- Okay, so 2021 is wrapping up.
- Yeah.
- What are you ladies most excited about in 2022?
- Do you have an answer?
- I have an answer.
- You do? - Yeah.
- Okay.
- I'm excited for everyone to see our show.
- Yeah. - Season two.
- I know, cannot believe it's actually happening.
- It's so exciting.
- It's good, they're gonna be excited.
- I know - They're gonna be excited.
- Well, I think it would have, it would have,
of course happened a little earlier,
but we had that little mandatory halt.
- Yes. (laughs)
- But, so now there's just all this expectation
and people have asked so many times, but I'm,
I'm excited for them to see it.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- So it'll be a lot of fun.
- I'm excited to see it.
(laughs) - Me too.
- I know. You know, what is weird
and people don't understand is like all this stuff
that you have done that I was not privy to see.
So I'm excited to see what.
- What you guys have done.
- Yeah. (laughs) - I can imagine.
- All the stuff you're not there for.
- What I'm not there for. - Yeah. I know what you mean.
- So, it's going to be fun.
- I'm excited for,
this is one of my favorite things
about the new year is like the unexpected.
Like, you know, when you get a phone call
and it's like, oh, I didn't know that phone call was coming.
Like there's no way I would have known to ask for that
or guess for that or hope for that.
Or, you know what I mean?
Like I always, I get excited for like,
the thing I don't know is coming.
- What did you... - In a good way.
- One time, what was something
about what is divinely yours or something like that?
- Whatever is divinely yours cannot be taken away from you.
- It's true.
- Yeah.
- Well, I hope there's a lot of good stuff coming.
- Yeah. Me too.
- Divinely yours.
- Mhmm. - Yep.
- So what do you have a new year's resolution?
Do you guys make them?
- No, not really.
Well this year I decided that I was gonna do a little ritual
where I was going to let go of things because you know, I,
a lot has happened in the past couple of years
and I think it's time to just say, you know what,
I'm gonna give myself the grace and kindness
just to say I'm not going to hold onto that anymore.
So I'm letting go of somethings.
- I love the like, give yourself some grace.
That's a good thing.
- I decided a few years ago
that I wasn't gonna make resolutions anymore,
but do like a revolution.
Like yeah. Just chose, I think with my resolutions,
(chuckles) by the end of January
- Oh honey. I have failed miserably.
- Right, right, (laughs)
- Yeah. But, but to just deal with whatever that change is
and try to, to live into it.
I want to be, make sure I'm a better mommy
and a better wife and daughter and woman, you know.
But I do think that that's a great one
cause I feel myself kind of shedding as well,
And to give myself the grace to do that.
Just not only shed the emotional stuff,
you know what I mean? Like things are, you're just like,
look, why are we holding onto that?
- And make some space for the unexpected.
- Yeah. I think that's nice.
Also, Yeah. Cause like the, the,
the old thinking of what a resolution is implies
that you're not already great or wonderful
or perfect as you are with all of your wonderful
and fallacies, all of those things.
So like I love the, the acceptance
and kind of the like, let's change.
Like let's let go and let new is like really cool.
I'm going to do, this is what mine is.
I am going to, and God, I hope I make it past March,
but I'm going to write down
in the little note section on my phone,
you know how they say you learn something new every day?
- Yeah!
- Well, I've always been like,
do you learn something new every day? But you kind of do.
And so I'm going to write down what I learned new every day.
And then at the end of the year, you'd go, oh my God,
look at all I learned.
- Will you make a book out of it?
- Maybe.
- That'd be very cool.
- Very cool. - Yeah.
- I love that idea. - So I'm gonna do that
The other one I have is
to write down the positive things that happened that day,
because sometimes it's really easy at the end of the year
to only remember the things that were hard
or that were struggling. And then if you look back,
you're like, oh yeah, that person said a nice thing to me.
And I forgot that I got that parking spot and I forgot like,
those little things that kind of get forgotten.
So those are my two that I'm that.
- I like them. - On that, building on that,
I read something the other day that really was nice.
Cause I, I tell people that I love,
I like when I feel that I love someone, I say, I love them.
And I know it makes people feel uncomfortable
because I'd be like, I love you.
And people are like, love you too.
Like if maybe it's just the woman
at the grocery store checkout. And I'm like, I love you,
thank you so much for this lovely little chat.
But I think also just taking time
to tell people what you admire about them.
Sometimes it's so easy to just take,
not even take someone for granted intentionally,
but just stopping and be like, you know,
you're really good at that.
- Yeah. - Yes.
- By thank you. - Yes.
- I need to coming around and just saying, thank you.
Like, even thought like yesterday we were in the airport
and there was, the gentleman was cleaning, you know.
And I was like, I need to tell him thank you.
Because I feel like it's one of those thankless things
that people don't see and to just stop a minute,
however, it takes. Hey, just thank you for that.
- Yeah. - That's nice.
- Cause, but I think to have those moments more
because people do appreciate it.
You never knew that moment that that person said
I needed, I needed to hear that,
that I love you, that somebody loves me.
- And I feel like people are more shocked when it happens,
because it's so rare,
that like, and then we don't know how to take like nice
or love or whatever so.
But I do feel like whether they are able to say it
in the moment of like, hey,
that meant a lot to me that you said that,
They go away and feel that way, like, you know.
- You feel seen.
- Yeah. - Right.
- That's a good one.
- Yeah. Right.
- Yeah.
- I'll check in on your list when I see you.
- Yes. Right. That's why I was like, dear God,
I hope I make it. (laughs)
- What did you learn today?
- What did you learn today? You actually, it's weird.
You do kind of learn something new every day.
- And I'll be like, you know what?
I think I taught her that like remember, you know.
- Who taught me this? Maybe I should write it down, too.
- 242. Day 242, that was me for sure.
I definitely taught her that.
- JoAnna taught me.
- I would like just like one little, a little.
- I'll give a nod to both of you. Yeah.
(laughs)
- All I'm gonna try to do is teach you everything now.
I'm going to have a bunch of people condescendingly teaching
to me all the time.
I would try not to learn a lot of stuff from JoAnna.
Cause it's not going to be
- It'll be fun.
- It will.
(laughs)
- Okay.
- It's okay. But she'll me she loves me.
And it all works out.
- I love that you're willing to go to jail with me.
