Talk Time with Hope

Happy mid-August. I can smell, even if only in my imagination, fall not far away. 😍 If you haven't heard about Maui, please look it up and see how they have been literally ravished and devastated by wildfires. YES, wildfires in Maui, in the Hawaiian Islands. 😥Breaks my heart. Not just because I spent two years in Hawaii, but because it's such a beautiful place and now so much is gone. An...

Hey hey hey! Welcome to another BLISTERING month, here on planet earth. Ok, maybe not the ENTIRE planet, but when you're in Texas it sure feels like the whole planet is HOT! 🥵<--I just figured out that I can put emojis on here, from my laptop. #ibesmart 😜 Please stay safe in this heat, if you're one of the lucky ones to live in a blistering state or country. Don't be out if you do...

***Correction: 1. I left Houston in 2006...I said 2016 at one point. 2. ulterior motive -- NOT alternative motive.🙈*** Hey y'all! How you be? Hope all are doing well and surviving this crazy hot weather! They, saw something from CNN, say last time the PLANET was this hot was...ummm...120,000 years ago! What? Ok, WHAT? No, WHAT? This is so wrong! Yet, not surprised. #climatechangeisreal #stayhydra...

Howdy y'all! Had a crazy experience at the park trail the other day. And NO it didn't involve that dude I spoke about a week or two ago. :) What is a self-proclaimed expert? Heard about one recently and I think he needs to un-proclaim himself. #forrealz Good news, I am still with No Evidence of Disease (AKA NED) as I had my three month check up yesterday. what what Hallelujah! #glorytoGod...

***Correction: I do believe everyone should be independent and have their own independence, however, not everybody truly wants that because many people out there want to have somebody with them wants to share that independence. Which I get that. And I'm not against that so I didn't mean to say not everybody should have independence. I meant to say everybody should, but not everybody necessarily wa...

***YES, I SAID THE NAME OF MY BOOK INCORRECTLY! 🙈 My book is "HOPE through cancer" -- I so funny! 😁 Hey y'all! My apologizes for not making an episode last Friday. I decided to drive to (lovely) Colorado and have some much needed fun. :) I'm talking about the history of Juneteenth and Gay Pride Month. Please listen in for all the cool stuff I'm sharing with y'all. Thank you as always for giving...

So, I said: "Hey Google, what's the temperature right now?" ->>> That's when Google tells me that it's like 103 BUT due to the humidity it feels like freaking 111114444! degrees! Ok, that is not what Google said but it's what I heard! lol It said it was 114! That is really hot hot hot! Like HAWT! Maybe just not in a complimentary type of way. The sun may be beautiful, but I don't like her for her...

I hadn't intended to make today's episode about the park guy, again. But y'all today was insane. Y'all, maybe not all of you, but some of y'all may be thinking I should not have approached the dude BUT y'all I'm the kind of person that wants to try and understand the other person. Try and get their perspective. And I finally had a chance to speak with him. Last I checke...

I may have talked about this already, but bear with me. The dude at the park that continues to stay left INSTEAD of right almost caused me to run into him or the two people that were on the right side while we were all at the same spot at the same time. #faceoffrustrastionrightnow #ineedtobeabletoaddemojis #ismyfrustrationjustified Today the guy showed that he can move to the side when someone is...

I know, I know...doing two episodes in one week. What? I am trying and wanting to do better with doing more of what I love. And one of those things is podcasting. You're welcome. heehee <---smile! I have done a crappy job with selling my book, HOPE through cancer, but now that I am only continuing to get stronger and like to think that maybe just maybe cancer won't be returning (even if...

***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 com...

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 m...

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 dr...

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 d...

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 c...

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...

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...

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 i...

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...

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, everyo...

Thanks for sticking with me giving me a listen and I hope. Yeah will come back because we've got some new stuff. Happening for season 9! Today I just basically want to give you guys.

I'm back! Happy February 23rd! I am speaking about being emotional and how I am proud to never letting this world and all its craziness get me to a place where I am numb and cold and callus. We have enough of folks in the world like that as it is. Listen in for more. :) God bless!

****I guess everything has been such a blur since my stepdad was diagnosed with cancer that I did forget that I did a little update on January 31st, having bronchitis didn't help I'm sure. I totally missed the date on the last episode showing that it was January 31st too. I was going to delete this episode and start over, but I am too sleepy to do so...so I'll just apologize for repeating some stu...

I didn't plan to not do an episode this long; however, things have been hectic. Stepdad has been in the hospital for 8 days now...and yours truly got bronchitis. Bronchitis, nothing lovely about it. I'm just wanting to give y'all an update and let you know I'm not shutting down my Podcast or anything. :) I'll try to do another episode sooner rather than later. Happy February!

Hey y'all. So, wanted to do an episode before now, but things have been busy for me. Stepdad found out that the lump in his neck is a tumor and possibly the worse type of the thyroid cancers -- anaplastic thyroid cancer. I want to be there for him, even if we don't always see eye to eye and up until my mom dying, we were not that close...at all.  However, when it comes to serious illness, wel...
