May 04 2012
As promised, I am sharing more photos of the recent “find” that I “unearthed.”  Actually, I opened a drawer and looked in a file, but the sense of discovery is the same.  I hope these photos will be reminders of some forgotten corners of our history.   First, let’s start with a Flight Attendant (actually, at the time, a Hostess) uniform of which many of you are probably unaware.... read more

It's a big deal when you get something new.   A new haircut, a new car, all milestones.  But WOW, we got a brand new plane! In my short fifteen years with the Company, I've seen some changes over the years, but this change is something special. This red belly plane is a little different from the norm (and a lot different in size). When I first saw it pulling in, I was so proud.... read more

What else would you want from a magazine called Spirit? Well, this time we want to move people literally. As in, get you moving. Here’s how it started: Some months ago, I got an email from a fellow Spiritista (that’s what I call my... read more

Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, and Carrie Underwood are just some of many talented artists who are members at the Grand Ole Opry.  Known as, “The Show that Made Country Music Famous,” the Grand Ole Opry is rich in history.  Starting as just a barn dance program in a downtown office building during the 1920’s, the show has evolved to something much greater.  Visit the Opry today and... read more

During the beginning of 2011, my Southwest Co-hearts Ana Schwager, Anabell Odisho, and I all found out we would be first-time aunts!  One by one, we each found out we would be welcoming nieces into the world.  We were beyond thrilled!  Ana was the first of the group to become an aunt.  In early April, Ana and her family traveled from Nashville to welcome Ella Kate!  Much... read more
