Talk Time with Hope

I was on an unplanned sabbatical. Had a cold on and off for I feel over a month. Still have something that I wonder has just been lingering. Ugh! Then I went on an 8 day get away over to Europe. Copenhagen, Denmark to be exact! It's a beautiful lovely city with lovely people. Lots to do. Lots to see. Lots to eat. And lots of walking. It was fantastic! But my body had a little rough go of it a bit. Just the body hasn't done that extensive traveling for a good while now. Still worth it!

Jump right in and give me a listen. Thank you for doing so and make sure to come back as I will get into what's been going on in the world, which is a lot, since my last episode. So so much actually!

Moving forward my goal is to do an episode every Friday. If I skip a week it may be from traveling to see family in Houston. But not sure if that will happen just yet. At any rate, as always if you like what, most especially if you like this podcast make sure to give it that 5 star rating, like, follow and leave a comment. It helps the show a lot!

Until next time, be well. Stay well! God bless. 🌻

Is it me or is there a tad less static with today's episode???? If you hear it too, or less, do let me know. :)

The title says it all, y'all! I'll not put too much in this episodes description. Please just get right in there and give me a listen. Do not despair as love will always win over hate. It may be hard to see BUT I still believe that. And of course, HOPE is alive and I believe it to always be.... as long as we never give up on it. 🫶🏽

Thank you for your continued support. As always, like, follow, share, hit that subscribe and do rate me 5 stars if you like what you hear. It really does help.

Here's the article (on of them) about the racist tweets that were sent out after the election:

Be well. Stay well. God bless. 🌻

***Still dealing with the static... I HOPE to get this squared away for the next episode. Thanks for sticking with me. 🫶🏽***

OF COURSE yours truly has to talk about the upcoming elections. It literally could change the course of our country and our democracy IF that man trump wins. So YES I have to talk about it as it's a way to vent and maybe just maybe help with those out there that still haven't voted. God knows we need all the help we can get to vote for our Democracy to not be ruined by trump and his minions. It's scary y'all! Scary! And it has zero to do with Halloween. BTW: If you celebrate Halloween, be careful and have fun. 🎃

Oh and my upstairs neighbors are STILL disrespectful and discourteous, so yeah. Fun! #not

Thank YOU ALL for continuing to listen to this podcast. Make sure to like and subscribe or however way that it's done on Spotify. If you like me please think about leaving a comment (rules are to be civil ;-)

And pass this on to those that might enjoy my content. :)

Be well. Stay well. God bless. Until next time, stay safe.

***YES, still dealing with the static that this new riverside.fm has with episodes. So sorry about that! 😩***

Well, well, well, guess who's back and it ain't no slim shady!

I know I've been going for almost two months and that's the longest break between seasons since I started this podcast. I apologize but I can say it was for good reason. September was, as y'all know, was ovarian cancer awareness month and I was doing good stuff for that and bringing in guest to interview over at my other podcast. Y'all know how I feel about spreading that awareness and it will always, I pray, be something I continue to have passion for. That said, I did stay away longer than intended. So much to get to and that shall take place every Friday or every other Friday as season 11 gets underway.

Thank you for sticking with me and I hope you keep checking in for each new episode. Make sure to follow and rate and leave a comment, as well as tell others, as it really helps the podcast.

Be well. Stay well. God bless. 🌻

Hey hey hey, what do you say? I'm possibly going to bi-weekly episodes once season 11 starts. Ending season 10 with some updates on me and some politicking <--hard not to do some of that with everything going on with the upcoming election. I feel joy and hope in the air for our country y'all, BUT please keep those prayers going as there are definitely bad folks out there who are delusional as trump.

Thank you so much for continuing to give this podcast a listen. I mean that so much! Y'all are amazing! <3

Be well. Stay well. God bless. 🤗

***I think I'm dehydrated so if you can hear mouth noise more than normal, sorry. 🙈***

Hey everyone. Hope y'all are well. This new way of recording my podcast episode is frustrating me so much. I can't. That's why I didn't on Sunday. I'm trying to find another home for my podcast and it's a little perplexing to say the least. But I don't give up. I'll not give up. As I love podcasting and the new adventure with Teal Time with Hope is still going to happen. I just got to get the recording down in a way that is way better than the attempt we made a few weeks ago. When it's just me it's not perfect but I'd rather have some static then echoing going on where the interview goes in a way that I can't publish and not because of the interview itself but because of the recording platform. Ugh!

But y'all, my name is Hope so that ugh will turn into a heck yeah! Soon! 🤗 Please send you love and light and prayers. I truly appreciate it. And I TRULY appreciate you all not giving up on me. I'll keep doing this until no one is left to listen. lol

Let's get to it with today's Talk Time with Hope.

P.S. these are the specific two topics that were all about misinformation being spread. It angers me but it saddens me even more. 😔

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.

Hi and welcome to the end of June! Now let's get ready for even hotter weather. Yay! Said no one ever! The situation with my upstairs neighbor(s) has not gotten better. Worser really. And let's just say this has me more and more making a plan to not stay here another year. I am one for change and I have stayed her almost six years. I want to move. Whether in or out of the state. I hope to move. This is just confirmation that I don't need to stay another year. I have good rent history and yeah, I have chooses. And I will and do pray for those folks above me. I may not like them. But I do pray for them.

Ok, so the debate between Biden and Trump happened last Thursday and it didn't go so great for Biden and people now think he needs to I don't know step down. Yeah right! Nope. The is the last thing he should do. We need to keep him in the race so Democracy won't be dismantled, which will happen if trump -- who did nothing but lie during the debate -- and his minions get in the white house again. I have to believe God himself doesn't want that man as POTUS either. But God allows what man allows, so we have to wait and pray and pray and pray some more that America will choose Biden despite his age and at times forgetfulness. He is still what is best for this country and he has a team to help me stay on course. I truly believe that.

Last thing, are you the person who committs 1000% to something like pickle ball, hiking, biking, mountain climbing to the point where you buy the clothes and anything else that goes with to an excessive degree? or are you, like me, someone that doesn't care to commit like that? Or maybe you are someone in the middle?

Listen in to know what I'm talking about. lol

Thanks as always for giving me a listen. Apologies for being medicated more than I thought I would be but the new medication, even with me cutting the half in half, is strong. Hopefully I sounded decent. 🙈🤪

Be well. Stay well. God bless. 🌻
