Alright so it's been almost a full month since I ended season 5 and I hope you guys didn't miss Talk Time with Hope too much. Ok, maybe I hope you did miss me...cause I maybe kind of sorta just a little missed y'all and doing my podcast thang! :-) 

This season will have 23 episodes as it represents my age 23 and what was going on when I was that age. Which happened to be in Austin Texas. Well, I turned 23 when in Austin and did a year there. I loved the Hill Country and I sometimes wish I would have stayed there, but everything happens for a reason and it just wasn't meant to be. 

Anywho, things are going well and I believe that is reflected in my voice. I'm happy to tell y''all that I got interviewed on a radio show and it was quite awesome! The show is PHLV -- which is connecting people of the Fillipino community. Really amazing group of people! And the hosts made me feel really awesome! One of the hosts that interviewed me is Josie, who is a co-founder (and cancer survivor) to Fillipino American Cancer Care. They are doing amazing things! And to be a guest on their show was such a blessing! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to spread much needed ovarian cancer awareness and sharing my story. I'm told I did really well with the interview. Admittedly, I was a bit nervous. So, if you are like "Hey, Hope, how can I watch that interview?" I am about to make you happy! ;-) Here is the link:

Last thing I'm talking about is how people that are scared of their friend or family dying from cancer or anything really backing away from the person that may die. It's not about that person but rather the person that very well could die...why people don't get that it's quite selfish to back away or leave someone simply because it's too hard for them to handle the possibility of their loved one dying I can't understand. it's not about you it's about them. Be there for them. Period. Full stop. If you love them anyway. Yeah, I'm speaking of personal experience. I feel it's happened me and to others out there. Love is love, right? Love people through it all. And real love is being there for those you love. At least that's what I believe. 

Y'all stay safe. Be careful. Keep healthy. This virus ain't gone yet. Keep wearing your mask. Keep social distancing. And if you haven't gotten the vaccine yet, thinking about doing so. Until next time! God bless and have a beautiful Easter weekend, for all that celebrate it. <3
