Less than a month away until Sweet Magnolias Season 5 hits Netflix. Before we spill the tea, what are you most hoping to see happen this season? Please like, save and share with anyone you feel needs a little Serenity in their lives. #sweetmagnolias #sweetmagnoliasseason5 #netflix #grateful #blessed

We’ve been holding onto this one for a while… really glad we can finally share the Season 5 trailer for Sweet Magnolias. One month from now, we’re back in Serenity, and I honestly can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been making. This season means a lot to me, and I truly think it’s worth the wait. If you know someone who could use a little Serenity in their life right now, like, share and send this post their way. June 11. #SweetMagnolias #sweetmagnoliasseason5 #netflix #grateful #blessed

Last few days to back Lisa’s Kickstarter. I’ve watched her talk herself out of this more times than I can count. The difference this time is you. This community showed up and reminded her that her voice is worth recording. Don’t let her cross the finish line without you. Link in my bio. Last chance.#proudhusband #projectswelove #kickstarter #spnfamily #spn

Two weeks left on Lisa’s Kickstarter. This isn’t a hobby. It’s not a side project. This is the work. I’ve watched her train, doubt, push through… watched her find her voice before she fully trusted it… and now she’s making the record she was always meant to make. If you can back it, do it. If you can’t, share it. Either way—you’re part of it. Link in my bio. #projectswelove

I’m not exaggerating when I say watching Lisa step into this has rewired something in me. She’s my wife. I’ve had a front row seat to what it cost her to go quiet — and what it took to finally stop. She’s recording an EP with Jason Manns, and Kickstarter has already named it a #ProjectWeLove. Which tells you everything. Back it if you can. Share it if you can’t. She will feel both.

Thank you @chicagoshakes for posting this. I wrote Red Velvet between 2007 and 2012. It took me a long time to write this story and find a building who would produce it. It was amazing to come and watch it in Chicago with @dion_johnstone leading and Gary Griffin directing in 2017. I stand by these lines completely. More now than ever! 🙏🏽

So very excited to share this with y’all. Sweet Magnolias season 5 will drop on Netflix on June 11th. Prepare your margaritas for some serious summer fun! #Sweetmagnolias #netflix #serenity #grateful #blessed

Happy Birthday, Lisa. Every year, I’m grateful for the way you shape the rhythm of our home — how you bring music to ordinary moments, how you listen with your whole heart, and how you help our family notice beauty we might have hurried past. Our son feels safe to speak, explore, and dream because of your presence. And I do too. Your radiance lives in the quiet gestures that change everything. With you, even the simplest days have depth. Today we celebrate the warmth you carry, the grace you live by, and the wonder you bring to every room you enter. We love you. — Dion & Khylin ❤️💐 #HappyBirthday #CelebrateHer #HomeIsWhereTheHeartIs #GratefulHeart #EverydayMagic #FamilyFirst #MomBirthday #QuietCourage #FaithFamilyLife #LoveThatLasts

Halfway through Season 5. Still blooming. Still becoming. Still holding the story like a sacred thing. These days, my world is the people behind the scenes — the camera team, sound, grip, lighting, wardrobe, hair and makeup, craft. The crew that shows up before the sun and stays long after. The ones who build Serenity one shot, one light cue, one touch of fabric at a time. It’s an honor to move among them. To everyone who’s walked with us through the seasons — thank you. This one has depth. And I think you’re going to feel it. No spoilers, of course — but I’m curious… What are you hoping to see this season? What threads do you want woven tighter? Who are you rooting for? Drop it below. I’ll be reading. 👀 #SweetMagnolias #Netflix #Grateful #Blessed #ErikWhitley #HalfwayThere #Storytellers #OnSet #ActorLife #QuietFire #CrewLove #LegacyInTheMaking

Rolled into set at 5:30 a.m. the other day and looked up to see this lone bright light, suspended over a quiet rooftop like it had been waiting there just for me. I took a photo, did a little digging, and learned it was Venus — the morning star. The light that rises before the sun. A sign of hope. A kind of whisper that the dawn is coming. Felt like more than coincidence. Lately, there’s been a shift in my life. The fog is lifting. Light is pouring in. And that morning, my son turned five. My heart was full in a way I can’t fully explain. Grateful for this season, this work, this family, and the quiet ways the Spirit speaks. Sometimes it shows up in the form of a star. “Even after all this time, the Sun never says to the Earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.” — Hafiz #Grateful #Blessed #MorningStar #Venus #HopeInTheDark #EarlyCallTime #ActorsLife #SweetMagnolias #Netflix #NightShootVibes #SoulfulMoments #OnSetMagic #TheWorkAndTheWonder #BlackMenInHollywood #FatherhoodJourney #SpiritLed #RisingLight #CreativeLife #QuietFire

Happy Mother’s Day to the heart of our home. Lisa, the way you mother is a work of art — full of laughter, play, bold imagination, and deep soul. Whether you’re belting out a song while he drums beside you, giving voice to trains and stuffed animals, or simply holding space when big feelings rise, you meet Khylin with joy, tenderness, and truth. You’re not just raising a child — you’re helping a whole person unfold. Thank you for making our world rich with meaning, movement, and magic. We love you more than words can say. – Your boys ❤️ #happymothersday❤️ #mother #grateful #blessed
