Have You Ever One-dered??

Things not to take for granted. Plain and simple. Thank you for your time, always :) C

What’s your favorite place that you’ve ever been? Where do you live? Is there someplace that felt like home as soon as you arrived there? Have you found your home yet? Let’s talk options, yeah? While we’re talking about what cities work for me and others (or not) you can consider what life might be right for you :) Glad you’re anywhere, including here, C

We’re back on the albums again! Part Fifteen, 160-151. WE’VE MADE IT TO THE HALFWAY POINT!!!!!!!!!!! 150 albums!!! Can you believe it? I’m so honored to be experiencing this This week features Sly and the Family Stone, Waylon Jennings, Lana Del Rey and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;) Production Note: Because of the sheer amount of material...

Would you like to save more money? Yes of course! Right? Let’s talk some common things that ppl buy or pay for all the time that could be wasting your money, either entirely or in part. Do you put money into any of these areas? Also, I mentioned during the show the top three things that those consulted mentioned as a financial drain. Scroll way down (so others can avoid spoilers if they want) to f...

In the midst of the sorrow that this day inevitably brings me, I bring you the next installment of our dwindling Summer Encouragement Series. Let it bolster you, I hope. Take care of yourself and others, C

We’re talking about an interesting set of daily habits that I came across. You may have heard some or all of them before, which is fine, but I’m hoping to provide additional perspective. How many are you already doing? Do you want to add a few more? So pleased that you’re making this show one of your habits. (Or consider doing so!) C :)

Soda cans Lemon juice Ketchup Tea Toilet Paper Irons Baby oil Egg whites Glue Fire What do all of these things have in common?? They were all used in some form or fashion during the previous century to assist in people’s beauty rituals! How? Well I’ll tell you ;) Or maybe you already knooow. Nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia! Unless these are things you still do. There’s so many options! Also,...

We’re back on the albums again! Part Fourteen, 170-161. This week features Ms. Aretha Franklin (again), Oasis, X-Ray Spex and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;) - There are some conflicting feelings that may come to you as you consider these 10 albums. That was definitely my experience. It left me asking, more than once, the age-old question:...

We’re talking wedding etiquette, in the direction of the older generations (like the parents of the couple), but honestly these things are good for anyone involved to be aware of: parents on both sides, wedding party, coordinators and other close vendors, grandparents, guests, etc. There’s something for everyone! Particularly family, friends, and others who are going to be directly participating i...

I really like this one. Some of our strongest encouragement episodes are on the days when I need the encouragement too! This one was borne of the fact that some things are transitioning for and around me, and I need(ed) to take the time to feel my way through. Many September blessings! Thrilled you’re along for the ride, C

Do you live in one of the most expensive cities in the world? Or most affordable? Somewhere in the middle perhaps? How does the cost of living you pay compare to the quality of life that you experience? We’re looking at the data from a specific index (Numbeo), which you can take with whatever size grain of salt you’d like because I did notice cities missing. However the ones that are present still...

Happy Labor Day! (In the US.) Coming to you with a more relaxed episode structure today, like we’re just sitting around having a chat. But don’t take that to mean that this is a throwaway show because of the holiday. Important things are discussed. (Btw, when I say “acting like children,” I unfortunately do not mean the joy, whimsy, and awe-filled wonder often attributed to those 0-17. I mean adul...

We’re back on the albums again! Part Thirteen, 180-171. I knew I was never going to make it through everything because there was so much and certain things needed to take a little extra time, and rightly so! This week features Nick Drake, Missy Elliott, Taylor Swift, and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;) ***There are some particularly dark t...

We’re talking again about some of the best and better ways to treat those who have a service component to their occupations. And this time it’s Flight Attendants! Are you kind and thoughtful during an airplane trip or are you kind of a menace? I hope it’s not the latter, but even if it is perhaps it’s inadvertently? Just in case, we’re getting the info straight from the horse’s mouth - flight atte...

It’s still Summer! And the Summer Encouragement Series continues as we discuss the joys of grown-up freedoms. Glad you chose to spend some of your time here. I appreciate it, C

How have you been treating your servers lately? Perhaps you don’t intend to be thoughtless or rude (I hope!) but there are things that you can be aware of that will make the experience more enjoyable for those working with you during your dining experience. Also, Production Note: Big Whoops! An unexpected technical difficulty led to the end of the episode before we were able to share Poetry Time....

We’re continuing a discussion about advice related to life experience, in a non age-centric way. Things to do or not to do, to think about or consider starting. If you missed the beginning, scroll back to last week and you can catch the first part, but you can listen to them in whatever order you’d like. It’s not too late while you’re still here, and I’m so glad you are, C

We’re back on the albums again! Part Twelve, 190-181. Two albums eps in one week! Glutton for punishment [handshake] Me Buuuuttttt we’re back on track so hashtag No Regrets =) This week features Sufjan Stevens, The Strokes, Beyoncé, and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;) These albums put me through my paces emotionally, but I’m not mad at it....

Are you as happy as you could be?

It might be getting chillier in some places but we’re still in our Summer Encouragement Series :) Don’t let it go yet. So glad you’re here, C

A discussion of age-related advice. I understand that living longer gives you access to more information and experiences in many cases, but because the way an adult’s life progresses can be so varied it’s also fair to acknowledge that anyone can experience knowledge gaps at any age. What are some useful things to know, no matter who or how old you are? Glad we all get another day, C :)

We’re back on the albums again! Part Eleven, 200-191. Finally!! YAY. Thanks tons for your patience with this one, after it had to be rescheduled from last Friday. Multi-day migraines are no joke. This week features The War On Drugs, The Velvet Underground, TLC and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;) Because there’s always so much info, and of...

Big Migraine + Big Nausea = No Albums I’m so sorry. I really wish I had the wherewithal to do it. Hope you’re feeling better than I do, C

Ugh, another data breach. A massive one. What do you do when these happen? Ignore it and hope it goes away? Scan your email to see if you were involved and then move on with your day? Panic, stay riddled with anxiety, and then ultimately eschew online life altogether? If you’d like an option that is sensible and proactive, let’s talk about how you can move your online accounts and info from less s...

We’re continuing our Summer Encouragement Series and my slightly distracted mental state doesn’t prohibit us from getting all the way into it. Light. Yes. Thanks for being here, C
