Big shout out to ALL the military veterans here in America, and abroad. I am so proud to have served my country in the armed forces and I made sure to get some of that free stuff out there today. :) 

Have I ever told you is NOT the same as that game "Have you ever?" If anyone was wondering. haha 

Listening in to find out what it actually is about. ;-)

Oh, did talk for a second about politics and sorry it's Stacey Abrams not Stacey Adams. Also, 24 is two dozen and yet I seemed to not get that when I spoke about how many countries I have traveled #mybad :))))))

Stay warm if where you are is getting colder weather like ours. BURR! <--loving it! :) 

God bless! Keep being kind as much as possible. <3

Ok, so Kanye West continues to be in the news -- and for all the wrong reasons. I'm just going to give some updates on how he has been dropped by companies that he had (lucrative) accounts with as he continues to down the rabbit hole of antisemitism and has no plans on apologizing. Y'all, he needs help. I said it before and I say it again. 

The main topic is not about him though, it's about antisemitism. Why? Why does it exist? Why do so many people around the world hate the Jewish people so much? I don't get it. I don't understand. But I did find an article from the point of view of Jewish people on some of the reason that are used to try to make excuses for the hate for them. Listen in as I try to understand something that will never be truly understood and should NEVER be tolerated. There is NO place for antisemitism, absolutely NONE! No place for hate period! Yet, there is so much out there. :( 

Thank you as always for giving me a listen! Happy weekend! :) <3 

Today it is about three dudes that, in my opinion, are silly silly silly dudes! This is by no means an episode of admiring or complimenting these guys. In fact, when it comes to Kanye West, AKA Ye, it's about talking about the seriousness of mental illness. Ye has been very open about him being Bi-Polar and it is what I believe is going on with him. I don't believe he is on medication and/or getting therapy. And that is why is spiraling down into a rabbit hole of a place he may never come back if he doesn't get help. Then there's Elon Musk, what an odd one this is. Those with the amount of power and money that Mr. Musk has, well, makes me wonder if it causes some form of instability on the verge of madness. But that's just my thoughts on the matter. The man wants to either get rid of Twitter as we know it and start over, I believe that's what I read, or to change Twitter into something all about his agenda. He wants to reinstate trump to be allowed back on the social media site. Speaking of trump. The man has been formally subpoenaed, something that's never happened to any former president before.  Of course, we all know, that will not happen. Or will it???? I mean that would get all kinds of HUGE ratings. So. We. Shall. See. Though, if his parents have any wits about them they'll never allow that. The dude is good at self-incriminating himself. Maybe we should hope he'll show up for the subpoena. This man, trump, is the main instigator for the January 6th and it is my hope, and even my prayer that he will get found guilty for all his actions, but more specifically for taking top secret documents to his private home, and for tax fraud, and for soooooooo many more things. And because of that he will be placed in Federal Prison or just escape off to some private island. Ok, so come on in and give me a listen. Thanks for stopping by. God bless. Be well. Be kind. And let love rule in your heart and life. <3 :) 

Welcome to October y'all! What about this LOVELY cooler weather? I. Am. Loving. It. :)))))))

So, most of the episode is about random stuff that I jot down in my notes but forget to bring up. So, doing that with this one. 

Also, talking a little, truly a little, about the protests in Iran that were sparked by the death of a young woman that was arrested for wearing her head scarf "too" loosely. The moral police, in Saudi they were called the "religious" police and I don't think they have ever gone that far to cause one of their own to die. Anyway, I know it deserves more than a few minutes on so I'll try to talk about it again in the near future. 

Thanks for giving me a listen, as always! <3

Until next time. Be well, kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic and more about love...especially when we live in a time when less people are about that stuff. Be it and maybe others will follow suit. :) 

God bless. 

Welcome to the end of September. Hope y'all are doing well. I'm LOVING the cooler mornings and evenings. Still needs to be a bit cooler during the day but, hey, it's a start. 

I'm talking a little bit about what clinical trials are and what many, including myself, have thought about them -- which is more like not a lot. I'm bringing this up because I had a meeting about recently and I felt I gained some insight and wanted to share here on my podcast. 

Now, buckle up cause I'm gonna get into some stuff that recently happened with regards to people from other countries living here. If you haven't guessed, I don't have a problem with foreigners in this country. Zero problems UNLESS they are doing crime. Unless they are not contributed to our society to our economy. I love diversity. I love that America is a melting pot of people from all backgrounds. But I don't like when Americans want this country to be just Americans. Like where did so many Americans come from? They ain't all Native Americans. Hello?! Listen in to learn more what yours truly has to say about this. 

Be kind. Spread kindness y'all. The world is full of a lot of hate and cruelness, but we can make a difference by not being that way. Love is the answer, I'll always believe that. :) <3 

God bless. 

Just touching a little bit more on stuff that irks me. Had to come back and just really emphasis on people who park in a handicap spot WHO ARE NOT disabled in any way. But rather are just LAZY and SELFISH. 

Yes, you can gather I feel strongly about this. I do. Maybe more as I have gotten older. But what matters is that people need to stop being selfish and making life all about them. It's more than that. 

So, listen in for me. :)

God bless. Be kind. Be good. And make sure to be kind to yourself. Self-love is good. Being a selfish arse...not so much! #justsayin

Just updating you on how the colonoscopy didn't go. Yup, we were a no go for the colono! It sucks because I wanted to get that done and over with. But that darn constipation just wasn't having it. NOT to mention that that darn gawd awful prep drink was not going down smoothly. I tried. I did all I could to psyche myself into drinking it all. But. Just. Didn't. Happen. And so, unfortunately, I had to cancel it and will reschedule. It is what it is. 

Now, I'm gonna get deep into how I feel about Donald J. Trump and what I feel about CINOs (Christians in Name Only!). Oh it's getting real! Talk Time with Hope ain't holding back. More than ever before. 

Why?

Because I'm tired of seeing people like Trump try to tear this country a part more than ever. He is an evil man. I believe him to be a cancer to this country. A cancer to Democracy itself. And we got to get out there and vote blue in 22! We need to not let those that are quick looney keep power. We need to vote them out. That is the Democratic way! And it works! I'm in Texas and I'll be voting for Beto! We need Abbott and Ted Cruz out. America needs Marco Rubio out! It needs DeSantis out! It needs Marjorie Taylor and Laura Bobert out! Don't care if I'm not spelling their names correctly. Change is needed! And that change for the betterment of this country needs to happen in November. Now is the time. We can do it too! 

So I implore you to go out and vote. Don't vote for your party, vote for your conscious. Vote for what is best for ALL Americans. Vote evil out. Vote that the cancer that is Donald J. Trump and all his minions is not just stopped but cut out so it will never be able to spread. And that can be done...NOT with violence but by voting! 

Thanks for giving me a listen! Some days I think "why do I keep doing this Podcast? Is anyone really listening and getting benefit from it? And then I think even if just ONE person can get something: encouragment, motivation, inspiration or just a good laugh at my dorkness...well that makes it worth it and that makes me get my lazy arse at the computer to do another episode. <3 

God bless. Be well. Be kind. And treat yourself nicely too! :-) 

Hey y'all! Welcome to September 11th, 2022. The 21st year of remembrance of the day that no one can elver forget -- and I pray we never do! 

Today I"m talking about things that really just chap my arse, AKA things that IRK me (irk: something that irritates or annoys) -- the list is endless! Just kidding, semi endless and getting longer as I get older. Ok, maybe not really. But I do wonder sometimes. 

Now, I'm not sharing because I'm just one to like to complain and be like an old woman sitting her in rocking chair smoking her pipe saying "back in my day!:" BUT stuff really irks me and hey gotta let it out! Gotta vent. Gotta use this podcast to be my therapy! And, hey, at the end of the day: I'm only human. I can be irked. I can have my arse chapped. It's ok. As long as I don't stay irked. Cause that would really irk me! Ok, enough with the irking. ;-) 

Oh, I'm touching also on what being a veteran with 100% is about and how I'm not ashamed or embarrassed to be on disability. There are things that have happened to me that would have have happened to me if not for my service to my country while serving in the armed forces. I'm not unable to work. But my body is not the same. All that wear and tear on my body, not to mention what my body has bone through post three bouts of cancer and all the treatments. It will be nice to not have to worry about having to work but being able to work if i want to. :) 

Be good. Be kind, to others and yourself. And don't be an irker! And ikerstigator! lol

God bless!
