Meet
Rosalin Moss aka Mississippi Traveler
A couple of weeks ago, someone mentioned that they
were glad to finally put a face to the Mississippi Club when I responded
to a post using my personal Facebook account.
I don’t do a lot of posting on my personal Facebook page, but if
anyone wants to send me a friend request, they are welcome to do so at
https://www.facebook.com/msmosstexas.
You can also read a little about me on the Mississippi Club
website at
http://www.mississippiclub.com/index_about.htm.
I am just a country girl born in Moorhead,
Mississippi, and raised there until I was thirteen years old when my
parents moved to Moss Point, Mississippi, on the gulf coast.
Other than Mississippi, I have lived in Florida, Illinois,
Wisconsin and Texas. I have
lived in Houston, Texas, for the past 30+ years, but everyone that knows
me knows that Mississippi is my passion and where I spend most of my
time when I’m not in Texas.
I have spent the past 10 years promoting Mississippi on The Mississippi
Club website, which was launched in 2004.
I am a Shell Oil Company retiree after 30 years of
employment, where most of that time was spent in IT as a programmer and
web developer. I married
Larry Grace in October 2013, and I have one adult son from a previous
marriage, and three grandchildren. I now enjoy
gardening, birdwatching, creating various arts and crafts, photography,
videography, and singing.
Singing is my latest passion, which started about 4 ½ years ago.
Since that time, I have joined my church choir, taken voice
lessons, written some songs, and hope to become a recorded artist
someday! I have had an
amazing voice coach in the person of Mark Bosnian of Sing Free Now (http://www.singfreenow.com/)
– without Mark I know I would not have made it this far.
Other than the church choir and family gatherings, I do all of my
singing in my den (LOL). I
will have to tell you the story of my singing journey later but here is
a sample of where my singing is at this stage of the journey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4emNFa72Uo).
And, of course, I spend a lot of time focusing on
Mississippi. I have not done much travel lately but plan to
visit the gulf coast in June, and Vicksburg and Clarksdale later in the
year. Since being on
Facebook, I have discovered so many others who are traveling and
reporting on the different Mississippi towns, and I am happy to help
them spread the word about their adventures.
It is so good to see so many people enjoying all the good things
that Mississippi has to offer.
We all know the things that need improving, but that should never
prevent us from enjoying all of the good that Mississippi has to offer.
Lastly, it is the goal of the Mississippi Club to
keep Mississippians connected to their Mississippi roots no matter where
they are in the world, and to reveal the best of Mississippi, and to
promote tourism.
