I needed a break, a sabbatical if you will and some of it was to focus on getting my website -- hopeaguilar.com -- created, not there yet but it will be live any day now, and getting business cards created and shipped. The other part was putting off the inevitable with spotify's new way of doing podcast episodes. I thought it would be simple and it wasn't, not at first anyway. Not to mention it's not the same on the app as it is on the laptop. Frustrating to say the least. But I figured it out and my big sis was in town (we celebrated our mom's 74th heavenly birthday) and she asked if she could interview me for my first episode for the new podcast Teal Time with Hope -- that kicks off this Tuesday. We played around with it and I think we did a good job with the first episode. But y'all be the judge of that by going to check it out. Please and thank you. Also, please note: I plan on continuing with Talk Time with Hope as hey, it's a place to share so much about my personal life and views and perspective and gosh is there a lot still to share. Yes, I'm referring to politics. lol

Come back next Sunday for a full episode and it will probably be a longer than usual as I have a lot I want to talk about.
