Have you ever had a dog as a companion? Dogs are a lot of responsibility - they need exercise, attention, and quality nutrition. But there is a huge return on this investment of time and care. There can be a magical connection between humans and canines and when that happens things will forever change in that relationship. The dog is no longer a pet, they are a member of the family. Dogs have the power to change your life. And in the case of Lucy Lu, this dog went from being rescued from a bad situation to having a line of doggy treats created and marketed based upon her. Lucy Lu's companion, LaShonda Walpool, found herself in a pretty tough situation having lost her job. When LaShonda looked to her furry companion for support, the result was nothing less than inspirational magic. Sit back and enjoy this amazing story of challenges overcome and a new and exciting journey for LaShonda and Lucy Lu.

Well if you're anything like me, your Indecisive about the whole thing. So let's see what we can determine in this episode of the Indecisive Podcast.

The Rooster unplugged by Alice In Chains - https://youtu.be/jUahBnEkIw8 - A new day will dawn for me tomorrow. I have been freed from the torment of the nightly sheiks and squawks of the banshee that has shattered my slumber for oh these many nights. I think the sound of concrete blocks being tossed around in a cement mixer would have less strain on the ears than the optical nerve piercing timber of this hell spawned cockerel. Sparkle, may your days on the new farm be filled with green grass, bugs galore, and more hens than your little cock heart can handle.

If I only had the Nerve from the Wizard of Oz - I've always loved the Wizard of Oz. It is a timeless classic that I could watch anytime because it has so many lessons to share. Like, watch out for poppy fields and flying monkeys. Follow the path to your destination and don't trust men that make a big show because they might be full of just hot air. And, if we stick together, no matter what our difference, we can overcome terrible odds, and sometimes all it takes is a little water. Well, today's episode has nothing to do with any of that, but it does have a close call with our 4th amendment, a chance to will $ 1 million dollars if you live in Ohio (or free beer in Jersy), and an attack on the spirit of the Wild. So grab some popcorn and chillax for a bit with the Indecisive Podcast.

Strange Fruit sang live by Billie Holiday - I was first introduced to Billie Holiday's music at around the turn of the century. A very good friend of mine had suggested I check out a local AM radio station that played 40's, 50's, and 60's music. Doo-wop songs like 1954s "Sh-boom" by the Crew cuts or big band classics like 1939s "In the Mood" by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. I loved every one of these songs for the upbeat feelings I'd feel and catchy lyrics I'd sing. Then I discovered Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday. I was never the same. Their voices had power and authenticity I had not experienced. I was now coming to understand that not every song is about a happy time. There are songs about suffering and tragedy as well as good times and celebrations. There were messages being sent that I didn't understand because they described a world that was unknown to me. But still, I only knew about what the songs said in their lyrics. Songs about love, hope for tomorrow, and better days to come. What I didn't know then is the lives that these artists were forced to lead because of racist policies and ignorant, hateful people. The United States vs. Billie Holiday shows just how perverted and twisted the minds of men can become. And when those rotten minds become men of power and influence, it portrays how horrible and cruel they can become to another human being for no other reason than the color of their skin. If you enjoy Billie Holiday's music, any black artist for that matter, you should watch this movie. Billie was not a saint, she was as human as anyone else. She struggled with how to deal with the things she had seen and experienced and what was happening all around her. That did not give the Federal government reason to track her every move and even attempt to plant drugs on her to get her arrested. They did nothing but add to the stress of her life. The beauty of the art is appreciated in another way when you understand from what source it derives. Could Ms. Holiday's music have been different if she had an easier life? The movie has some embellishments but there's evidence of the harassment she endured by the FBI. The way our country has treated people of color is deplorable. It has been ignored for too long. The current climate of awareness of our past is the only way to allow healing to begin and progress to continue. This episode covers a lot of topics, but this movie is at the heart of it as it's been on my mind since I watched it. I hope you enjoy this episode. Let me know what you think.

Taking Care of Business by Bachman Turner Overdrive - https://youtu.be/ybtl9qVFAjc - There are people that work at the same job for their entire career. There are those that stay in the same field but work at many different places. And there are those that try many different jobs in many different fields. And then there are those that decide that working for someone else is just not for them and they start their own business. Today's episode is an interview with someone that has worked in a bunch of different fields. She came to the conclusion that she was ready to give her own business a try. Her name is Eva and she opened a company called Snarky Girl Boutique. Eva has a wide range of talents from creating glass fused leather-bound jewelry to crafting spicy wing sauces. Savory jerkies and custom-designed insulated tumblers. She has taken her vast array of knowledge and skills she's learned over a lifetime and turning it into her way of life. Join me for a very entertaining visit with Eva on the Indecisive podcast.

Candyman by Sammy Davis Jr. https://youtu.be/v7PhNZs33VE - This song calls back so many fond memories for me. I was probably introduced to it through "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" back in my childhood. I've lost count of how many times I watched it. The story was so compelling and what kid doesn't dream of swimming in a chocolate river or eating a marshmallow flower?!? As delicious as they all seem, we know excessive sweets are not the best for your body. Many people have dietary restrictions, either by choice or by necessity.  Our guest today is one such person. After a period of unknown discomfort, Jenn found out she had Celiac Disease which is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. And shortly after that, she was found to be diabetic, which was common to others in her family. So food and nutrition became a new challenge and she did not allow it to ruin her life. In fact, she took this difficulty and decided to research and experiment with various ingredients until she found combinations that meet both diabetic and Keto requirements. And hence Jenn's Keto Treats was born. So sit back as we find out more about this amazing woman and her mission to provide the highest quality products to fill a very special niche in the marketplace. Check out her Facebook and ordering site or come on out to the Garland Farmers Market at Firewheel every Saturday. Everything is handmade in small batches with quality ingredients. Perfect for your keto sweet tooth!

You Don't Know How It Feels live by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers https://youtu.be/G5ih9OIUf_g - Cannabis has come a long way since the days of radical prohibition. Although still Federally illegal for now, lawmakers in DC are working on bills that could make changes to the classification of cannabis as a controlled substance. But until then, states are starting to adopt medical use and recreational use more and more these days. Here in Texas, we have a low-level THC medical cannabis program in place but the THC levels are restricted to 0.03%. There is current legislation in a review that would increase that from 0.03% to 5% as well as other bills to decriminalize possession of under an ounce of cannabis and even legalization for recreational purposes for adults over 21. There are less than 20 states left that still consider possession of cannabis a crime and in Texas, you still have the possibility of jail time. So here in Texas, partaking of the green can get you in orange. 

But wait, what about CBD? What about this Delta 9 THC I keep hearing about? Well in today's episode of the Indecisive Podcast I have a local family-owned and operated Hemp Dispensary to introduce to you called Bee Hippy. They have built a mobile Hemp Dispensary they are calling "The Beehive" and it is not only eye-catching but stocked full of all the CBD and Delta 8 THC products you are looking for. Chris, Maggie, and Dave sit down with me and talk about what inspired them to make sharing their passion for cannabis their business and discussion CBD and Delta 8 as well as the endocannabinoid system. There's a different kind of honey in this beehive and it's on a mission to bring relief to those in need. Check out the episode and let me know what you think. You can find Bee Hippy every Saturday and Sunday at the Garland Farmers Market at Firewheel in Garland, TX and other locations so check their Facebook page and website for upcoming events and places the Bee Hippy Beehive will be pollinating near you.

The Weight (Take a load off) by The Band - https://youtu.be/9P202C3mm8g - The pressures of modern life, raising a family, and earning a living to keep it all funded can really wear on you after a while, especially if you are the type to push hard to expand and grow.

Take a load off, you never know it may give you the chance to expand your vision and see something you didn't see before.  A spark of hope that you can do this, you can achieve the goals you have set for yourself. We are never stuck in a situation that cannot be escaped. There are always options. So take a load off if you need to, you may even be made aware of someone that could help with the burden you've been carrying alone. I hope you enjoy this episode. Stay safe out there.
