Talk Time with Hope

Note: At the end of the episode, I said, "All seriousness aside", when I meant to say, "All joking aside". :)) Today is the second and last part of the topic of Love! I really think I could talk about this for way more than two episode, but gonna stick to two as may want to talk about it again sometime in the future. :)  Happy New Year! I hope everyone is doing well and I really hope that y'a...

***Correction: it's "What is love, lady don't hurt me!" NOT "What is love, baby don't hurt me!" hahaha #mybad Today I'm talking about love. The way it should be. And also, the way it shouldn't. Listen in for more! :-) For those that celebrate Christmas: Merry Christmas.  For those that don't celebrate Christmas: Happy Holidays. For those that don't see this time as anything but another day: H...

Please note: I do not know why I kept saying "Lisa Grier" when I meant Brittany Griner. I apologize for saying that name instead of her real name. If Brittany is listening, "PLEASE forgive me. I'm so happy you have been freed!" Now, there are folks out there that don't like that she was freed so give me a listen to find out why.  Morocco has made it's debut to the World Cup semifinals, more s...

Little girl was kidnapped and killed out in a rural area that I happened to have lived at when I was a senior in high school. The suspect is a Fed Ex driver that was out delivering packages. I'm so glad they found him and so quickly, but my heart goes out to the family of the little girl. :(  Finding her body and her killer so quickly is not the case with the four college students that were m...

All over the map, but not really. lol Talking about the mass shooting in Colorado Springs, Colorado. :( Also, about something crazy that happened toTday while Uber driving. Thanksgiving plans. The World Cup in Qatar. Saudi winning against Argentina. <---biggest upset of World Cup history. And ending with small bit about forgiveness. <3 Happy Thanksgiving!  Whoever you are...wherever you...

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 poli...

Welcome to the end of October! And Happy Halloween, for those that celebrate it. Hope you are careful out there when you are getting your tricking and treating on.  I'm talking about something recently that was on the news, and it was about Drew Barrymore letting people know that she doesn't hate sex. Interesting right? There is much to talk about, and I'll share my two cents on how I'm personally...

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 a...

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 getti...

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...

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...

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 mor...

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...

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 som...

August is just about gone and I'm so ready for September. It has nothing to do with a colonoscopy I'll be getting in a few weeks either. heehee Seriously, looking forward to true cooler weather. But just not flooding like it did this past Monday. No thank you. But that's what could still happening as we are supposed to get more rain this week and maybe for more than three days. But we shall see. I...

Hey y'all! No politics...for now. :)  Cooler weather is coming (or at least for a few days) and I'm loving it! Really happy that summer is almost behind us! #forrealz So just talking about some recent Uber experiences I have had. I really love meeting new people and hearing their stories and getting to share mine. I was told the other day that I had really good energy. If I can be good energy...

Hey y'all! Lots to talk about but no surprise didn't achieve what all I did want to say. That kind of happens when one speaks about the former POTUS and all his shenanigans. And this stuff right now holy cow it's crazy! No one would be crying that their place got broke into if their place didn't have stuff that shouldn't have been taking out of the white house to begin with! Not to mention, and th...

Hey yo! I actually did this episode in my car because all the stuff I wanted to talk to was in my head and I needed to get it out so I couldn't wait till I got back to my apartment. Lol Today I'm talking about my awesome trip to Mexico with my sister siblings and I'm also talking about my time in Houston with some friends and oh also the dilemma with my knees! Turn in to find out more! God-bless t...

I was only going to talk briefly about Uvalde as I felt an update was needed...but then once I got to talking it went from briefly to over fifteen minutes. I ain't sorry as keeping that story alive is important.  The January 6th (1/6) committee has been going on for a minute now and they may be closing it soon but HOLY COW THE SHITE COMING TO LIGHT IS INSANE! What hides in the dark will come...

Alright, got to start with apologizing to y'all for I said I would do another episode in a few days and that didn't happen. So, my apologizes! Thanks for coming back and giving me a listen! <3 So, where was I? I took a ten day road trip to Colorado...then to California...then back here to Texas. Loved Denver! Loved Oakland and San Francisco! And loved Pasadena...where I took a trip to Anaheim a...

Welcome welcome welcome to Season 8! I know, I know it's been a long time -- I needed that vacation though. :)  Hold on tight cause it might get bumpy my dear listeners. Today I am talking about the ruling overturning Roe vs Wade that now makes abortions that should be handled by the states and states are already making it illegal, a crime. Oh my God this is insanity at its best! I could writ...

Thirteen children GONE, killed, MURDERED because someone (who may or may not have had mental illness issues) got access to guns! How did he get those guns? Were there signs that he was not stable? He was eighteen and in high school so how in the tarnation did he have weapons? THIRTEEN CHILDREN NO MORE! And the two adults that were killed as well. No more! They are no more here!  When NO MORE...

Y'all its freaking HOTTTTTT here in Texas! Hope it's not as hot wherever you are! But if it, please stay safe and hydrated.  Now, on to a HOT topic...Roe vs Wade. You know I'm gonna have to weigh in on this one. And weigh in a I do. Buckle up as this one is gonna be intense! Thanks for giving me a listen as always. God bless! And remember to pass on kindness whenever you can. :) 

Here we are! Welcome to the last episode of the three-part series about lichen planus, lichen planopilarious and oral/corrosive planus. I hope that you feel well informed about a disease/disorder that is not spoken about. Perhaps I can help change that. And maybe it starts with these episodes. :)  Thank YOU so much for giving me a listen. Thank YOU for being the ones I come out to regarding t...

As promised, part two is here! I talk a little more about what it is like wearing a wig -- how there are times when I have had anxiety and fear that it would come off or someone would take my hat or beanie off and in doing so the wig would come off too. I can kinda of look at that as a bit funny, though not at the time. Then I get into the lichen planus, the skin, and how that started to get worse...
