In this heartwarming and reflective episode, I delve into the timeless tradition of tipping and its deeper meaning beyond the monetary exchange. Growing up, I learned valuable lessons about money, gratitude, and generosity — lessons that still resonate today. As the season of giving approaches, it's important to recognize the impact of tipping, especially for the hardworking individuals behind mom-and-pop businesses and service providers who go above and beyond every day.

Tipping isn't just about the amount; it's about appreciation, thoughtfulness, and recognizing someone's effort. If tipping isn't an option, there are still ways to show your gratitude — a kind note, a heartfelt card, or even a sincere "thank you" can leave a lasting impact. True generosity isn't measured by grandeur but by heart. In this episode, I share personal stories, practical insights, and reflections on how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Tune in as we explore the power of giving back, honoring the spirit of the season, and why tipping is a gesture that never goes out of style on this journey of Fannytasticlife!

It's not you it's me. Sometimes you need to be honest and understand they never agreed to be "your friend" so you can't blame them, but you loved them and that's ok. On this Fannytasticlife!

Saying good bye to amazing jeep, and being nostalgic of everything we have been through.

Reflecting and remembering to show grace, especially during this time of the year is hard. Stop and give your parents a call, they are people; before it's to late and you are regretting the time lossed.

Sometimes it is in a nutshell.

Understand the need and allow for movement but never give up!

Life will not always be easy, and I had to learn it the hardest way. I had to understand what it means to literally have nothing. That when I have something, it means so much value to me. And not to be clutterful or a hoarder, because I'm not. I'm not a minimalist, but I don't like a lot of things around. I don't like things, you know, how do they say, out of the drawer. I don't need to know what I have, but I value what I have, because I'm blessed on this journey of Fannytasticlife!
