Home Is (DEFINITELY ) Where My Heart Is !



















My name is Patricia Neely-Dorsey. I am from Tupelo, Mississippi... located in the beautiful red clay "Hills" of Mississippi and yes, the birthplace of Elvis Presley!

I am the author of two books of poetry: 

Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia -A Life In Poems.

My Magnolia Memories and Musings -In Poems.I call both books a true celebration of the south and things southern.   There are so many negative connotations associated with Mississippi and the south in general. 
I try to give a positive glimpse into my home state and region.  There is much to love about this much maligned and misunderstood part of our country.   I invite readers to get to KNOW Mississippi (and the south) in a different light I invite EVERYONE to Meet Mississippi Through Poetry, Prose and the written word.

I travel all around my state speaking at schools, churches, libraries and various civic organizations, delivering the message of a positive Mississippi and a positive southern experience....According to me, one of the best places to live in ALL of the world is POSITIVELY MISSISSIPPI !!!

    I have never been to Mississippi, but I've heard good things about it. Your poetry is amazing and I would love to win one of your poetry books.

    For me home is that place where I am loved, where I can be myself. It is somewhere comfortable, like warm and fuzzy slippers. It is where I feel safe, cared for and comforted. It used to be where ever my mother lived, but now that she is gone, it's my own home. I host all the holiday gatherings and love it.

    Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win. <^_^>

    I am also a southerner...transplanted. I've lived in the South now for about 25 years--but never in Mississippi. I'm in NC now and we've been getting some snow tonight...which is a VERY unusual circumstance here in southeastern NC near the beach!
