That's right, after 3 weeks away from the mic, I had the pleasure of FINALLY getting back to 10 Minutes In and talking to everyone!  This episode is heavy on gratitude and the power of community.  

Of course, we talk about the tragedy of a group of people in a helicopter crash not only included children, but also a sports icon and arguably the best (second) to ever play the game of basketball, Kobe Bryant.

Check out my hyperactive return episode and let me know your thoughts!

I start this one off all fired up from a podcast episode I had just finished up with a TikTok influencer.  This was really exciting because TikTok is making huge strides in becoming more than just the latest short form content creation platform to soon go with way of Vine.  That episode will come out next Tuesday!

Now, why did I call this episode "Date Trickery"?  Because that is exactly what we talk about.  You NEED to hear this one, it could save you a ton of headaches down the road!

Well, it didn't take long, about 16 hours into the new year to be exact, before I found myself in a world of trouble.

Why?  Well, I don't want to spoil the very first episode of the year, but the message is all about not making excuses and avoiding self-sabotage!  Maybe I needed a little kick in the pants, I'll let you decide!

So, stop making excuses and listen to this episode!!

This is a quick little episode that wishes everyone a Happy New Year and gives you a little something to listen to while you treat that hangover this morning.

With no voice left, I was forced to come up with something that would allow me to still do the episode and still salvage what's left of my vocal chords.  So, the Robot Edition was born.

We talk about New Year's Eve plans and more on this shorter than average episode.

Merry Christmas everyone!  Thank you for being a part of the Readily Random family! 

Earlier today, after I'm sure all of the early morning Christmas festivities had subsided I found it interesting to see how long it took some folks to get back to normal.  In some cases, I was blown away.  Christmas trees on the curb by 8am, people looking for open stores and one that really got me...a mom was asking in a Facebook group if there was any place open that would be something for teenagers to do.
