  • My pet peeves -- a couple of them anyway. :) Parks and lover's lane.
    ***Note: parking at a park just to chill or maybe talk with a friend is cool. As an ride share driver I park at all kinds of places while waiting for rides. :) Do you have any pet peeves? I say idiosyncrasy, but really it's pet peeves as they are not the same thing. :)
    I have more than a couple but I'm only talking about two. Don't be shy with telling me what yours may be. Feel free to leave a comment. I have a friend that can't stand certain noises. If I didn't know her and what she told me about misophonia I would have thought she just be #rude But it's a real thing and pretty sure it's beyond being considered pet peeves. I am leaving a link to it, if you should want to learn more.
    Have you ever made out in a "lover's lane"? Do you know of that place? It's not a place place, but rather a place that is called lover's lane cause people go there to make out (or more...usually more). But here's the real question. Did you know people have been killed at those places? I do, and that's why I have never had an interest in going to them. Not to mention, I don't have anyone to got there with anyway. lol But if I did, nope...would not do it. Never did it when I was younger either. Maybe just never trusted them as you are easy targets. Listening to true crime only makes me happy I never was about that. Were you ever a part of that, of going to lover's lane? Or are you like me and think they be no bueno (no good)? Call me a scared cat all you want...meow! :)
    Thanks for listening, as always! God bless! <3

  • Happy June! Mouth is feeling better! Chemo shorter? Are you kidding me?! Seriously America!!! :<

    Happy June y'all! I am excited for June! Sunday is Cancer Survivors Day! Big shout out to the survivors, whether they are in treatment or actually done with treatment. :) <3 My mouth is doing better and I'm trying something new via a mouthwash with oregano. (Zane Hallas -- Oregano Daily Oral Rinse Mouth Wash with essential oil of Oregano -- You can get this on Amazon). Prayers that it makes a positive difference with my mouth. Ok, main subject is about the shortage, YES the shortage of many drugs to fight cancer -- I"m talking chemotherapy y'all! This is insane! It should not be happening and never should happen as we are a 1st world country! Listen in for more.

    Also talking about making sure what you share on social media. And big shout out to my niece graduating from 8th grade, so proud of her! <3

    God bless!

  • Family & Friends, love them! Anchor is no longer -- it's all Spotify now.

    I had a really great time in Houston...technically outside of Houston, but stilll a great time! :)

    My brother, niece and myself did a road trip BRIGHT an early (4am as that's the best time to leave for Houston, especially on a holiday weekend) Saturday and stayed till Monday afternoon. There was even NO drama hanging with the family. That's a rare thing too. All family typically has its drama. Lol. And I even got to see one of my friends of 21 years. Our other friend was not able to meet up with us, but it was still a nice time. <3

    Btw, forgot to let y'all know that Ancho podcast is no longer a thing. It's been bought out by Spotify. So, hey if you want to rate me and leave me comments please do so...nice comments preferably. :))) I liked Anchor but it's how things go. Bigger companies buy out the smaller ones and I'm sure at no small price, making the creators of Ancho (probably) very happy. I do like Spotify, as I listen to many podcast via that source. Happy to be here...for you to hear. heehee

    Hope y'all are doing well. God bless. <3

  • Lots of things happening in May. My recent experience with soneone I think is a cheater...don't be a cheater. :)

    May may what do you say? Welcome to the middle of May! What a month! Did you know about all the things going on in May, by way of awareness?

    First one I want to share is World Ovarian Cancer Day. It's held on May 8th, every year since 2013 -- crazy how I was a part of this ten years ago! I love advocating while don't like the amazing women I meet along the way who pass from this horrible disease. But that is why keep talking about it and sharing it. To be a voice for those that are no longer here. <3 May is also Missing and unidentified people awareness month. I think I may do an episode about this in more detail later down the road -- it needs to be spoken more about. Ok, so cheaters. I don't like them I don't want to ever be one, again as I did not always do the right thing when I was younger. But that is the past. I never was married to cheat on my spouse, but I am not proud of some of my past behavior. Again, that is in the past. But what has happened in the present was some former dude I dated, briefly, reaching out and wanting to meet up. Thing is, by all accounts he is married and has many children and I wonder why he wants to see me but then backs out. #rude It would be nice to see him after three decades, but something feels off. I can't help but wonder if he is trying to step out on his wife and thinks he can with me. Not. Gonna. Happen. #nope At anyrate, we haven't met up and now I doubt we will because I'm not about cheaters or helping cheaters cheat. Ain't nobody got time for that. Hey, don't be a cheat or be with a cheapter. Be single and do your thang or stay with the one you love and work things out so you don't go looking elsewhere.

    As always, thanks for giving me a listen. Take care of yourself and keep passing on kindness. God bless. <3

  • May is here! Lots to talk about! :)

    Welcome to May!

    How's life treating y'all? I hope well, always! I will be doing an episode every other week, as I want people to catch up to all the episodes I've done already. I'd like to tell you I've been busy with writing, but that flow has started yet...but believing it will. SOON! :) I'm talking about a state, here in America, wanting to allow children -- like legit children -- to start working at the age of 13, 14 and 15. I don't like it. We shouldn't be going backwards, yet that is what the good ole US of A seems to be doing. :< Talking a little about keeping your social media protected as well as you bank accounts and credit cards as had some stuff happen recently. Listen in for more. :)) God bless! <3


    Regarding the tongue, it's not the strongest muscle -- my bad. But here's a good article you might find interesting:

  • Let's talk about women being safe -- Public Service Announcement :)
    This episode is brought to you by...well...something I saw on social media (SM) -- by thiis woman who saw something suspicious when she walked out to go to her car. I think it was great that she posted it on SM, and honestly, we need more of that stuff posted so women can remember to be more aware of their surroundings. Yes, men and women...but most especially for us women. #girlpower
    Listen in to learn more. :)

  • No right eye cataract for me! Feel good story about Hawkeye the Avenger! :)

    Good news today is that I don't have a cataract so...no cataract surgery for this gal! Yes! It's not a long or invasive procedure but happy to not have to get it done. Maybe at another time but my right eye is good with a new prescription. :)

    Now, a feel-good story going on right now is more of a HOLY COW HOW IS THIS DUDE NOT DEAD? kinda story! And I for one am very happy he is not dead as I like him as an actor and even more so as a human. I'm talking about the Avenger Hawkeye...the man who plays that role anyway --- the one the only Jeremy Renner! Please listen in for this story as I hope you enjoy it and it makes you feel good to know that miracles definitely happen! <3

    Note: Diane Sawyer interviewed Jeremy Renner NOT Barbara Walters -- as I suspected cause she passed away last year. At least I knew that she had passed but sorry I couldn't remember Diane Sawyer's name. #emoticonwithmonkeycoveringfacewouldbegoodrightnow #thatsprobablytrueforeveryepisodeihavedonethusfar : )

  • Angel encounters...have you ever had one?

    Welcome to episode 3! Hope everyone's April is going well thus far! How about the NCAA women's basketball championship game! Go women bball players! Love it! Oh and yes, I had to talk just a little bitty bit on the indictment of the former president. I've been holding it in ya'll! :)

    Main topic is about angels! Have you encountered any? Do you know anyone that has? Do you believe in them? I do. And I know someone that has. And today I'll share that story. I personally feel good believing that they exists, that Godly angels exist. What about you?

    Thanks as always for listening in. <3

  • A lil health update. Let's try one episode a week... :)
    I guess I wanted to be very ambitious with wanting to do two episodes a week, but I gotta be honest...one a week is more realistic for me. Not so much beecause I don't want to disappoint with not sticking to a commitment but really because I will need, nay, want to do more research and preparation into what I will talk about with you lovely listeners -- more so than I have in the past. So, tune in every Tuesday going forward. :)
    I'm also talking a lil bit about my health today. It's fine. It will be better once I get a PET/CT scan in mid-April.
    Thanks as always for y'alls support. God bless.

  • Welcome to season 9! Women's history month -- The 6888th Postal Battalion -- an amazing true story!
    Welcome, welcome welcome to Talk Time with Hope season 9! It's crazy, right?! :)
    **Correction: the ladies of the battalion didn't fly to Europe they went on a ship.***
    I'm excited to be doing something different for this season, and maybe all seasons going forward. And that something different is sharing stories that are true and good. Sorry, no true crime stories here. And let's be honest, everyone is doing that already. I like a lot of them too, but just not for me. Not what I want to share. I want to share good stuff. I want to spread some good in this world, cause we all need more good. And those true crime stories can be not so good, can be scary and even depressing. I don't want that. And maybe you don't either. So, let's go with good. Good stories. True stories. Stories I may have only just discovered and feel that they are stories you may not know about either. And, hey, sharing is caring...so that be what I will be doing. :) <3
    This story is amazing! And it's near and dear to my heart because it's about women in the military. Women in the military at a time when they weren't even called soldiers, but rather WACs, which stood for Women's Army Corps. But it is also special to me because these women are also African American and though I am not of that race, I am a woman of color. I just am so grateful for this story, and so should we all.
    Listen in for more. :)
