    "Okay. I don't know how crazy this celebrity story is. It's, it's, it's probably not crazy based, you know, on anything that happens in LA. But, uh, I, you know, so I grew up in, in southeast Texas, and, and I've had a weird situation where I've managed to either bump into or meet celebrity without looking for them. I don't, I don't ask for autographs."

    "Though he did walk the length of the boulevard, cowboy Bill truly added a wonderful flavor to the community along Hollywood Boulevard. His presence brought color to the everyday experience of the area, making it more vibrant and welcoming. Reflecting on Bill's impact encourages us to think about the characters in our own communities. Who are the people adding color to your town? Take a moment to appreciate them and the unique spirit they bring to your daily lives."

    "So then that became a focus, trying to get that still have a life. And so years go by, and now this is about seven, eight years later since I last saw him. As far as I know, he's still alive. I don't know how I would find out. And I don't actually want to go play sleep loose. But lo and behold, I see that at the time, my mind decided to compartmentalize it."

    "But he had been in my life as a peripheral person for two years first, and then he became a really central person in my life for two years after that. And the fact that I didn't ever want to define what it was was pretty interesting because I like everything, to be exact, sometimes. Now, why do you. Why do I think that there was such a closeness to Billy?"

    "And weirdly enough, there are traits in him that reminded me of my dad, which back then, I didn't pick up on the imago thing, but I kind of knew that that was kind of a thing because I was sort of the armchair psychology book reading. But I would say that my knowledge of the effects of PTSD, the effects of compounded with a very difficult childhood and the way people cope, anger and eventually beginning a friendship with him."

    "Because usually you think if somebody kind of flips out on you as a retail person and they're kind of a little unreasonable that you would actually kind of pull away from them. But nope. In the spirit of customer service, I did talk to him, and he was cool with it, and he even was a little bit more mercurial the next couple times I saw him."

    "And he was intrinsic to this story, because in life, nothing stays forever. The only thing that is a certain thing is death and taxes, because when you are no longer here, they will find a way to tax your estate, even with a will. So, long story short, in life, people don't stay. They don't even stay the same. Even if you were to always beat each other's lives, they're not the same person."

    "A local business that I will always support is groundwork coffee. Not only are they an organic coffee company local to LA, they're also a B Corp, which means they went through a rigorous certification process showing their dedication to social and environmental performance, plus a commitment to help build a more inclusive, sustainable economy. What customers might not know about groundwork is that they collaborate with farmers all over the world, including women farmers whom they mentor, helping them build their business and become successful entrepreneurs."
