Talk Time with Hope

As promised I'm talking about my journey through hair loss (a small part of it anyway) and what I believe has caused it. Here are the details: Lichen planus is a rare skin disorder that can affect not just your skin but your hair (lichen lichen planopilaris) and your mouth (oral or corrosion lichen planus) -- none of which are contagious...in case anyone wondered. ;-)  I believe I was exposed to c...

Hey, I'mmmmmmm back! :)  Buckle up and get that coffee as this one is a bit long! ;-) Listen in and hear me talk about masks, YES FREAKIN MASKS Y'ALL! I'll also be talking about how if you are rude and disrespectful with an Uber driver you can look forward to the prize of getting kicked out the car -- basically the ride will end and you will have to walk or get another ride. Lastly, I'll be t...

Sadly, my (favorite) uncle passed away. Out of the five that I had I only had two left, and now there's only one left. < /3  I guess this is my coming out of the closet of hair loss, thanks for being here for it. I want to make sure y'all know that just because I say that "it's about the outside, surface level" doesn't mean I think it should be that way. I wish we looked at people for who...

Hey y'all! March is winding down and I think, I feel, that winter is behind us -- here in Texas. Hope y'all are doing well, being safe and keeping healthy. Thanks for tuning in!  It's been one year since I had shingles and as you listen in you will say why I can't express enough how good the shingles vaccine will be cause nobody wants shingles, ever! Trust me when I say it was horrible!  I am reco...

I took off to Vegas for two days, no didn't get married. haha! It was so nice and much needed. I only had a few hundred dollars, but it still turned out to be a good time. Somtimes it's good to just get away. Maybe more than sometimes. ;) I have two stepsisters and one, unexpectedly, passed away last week. I was not close to her but I worry about my stepdad as well parents shouldn't have to bury t...

I really wish this wasn't happening but it is, Russia has invaded the Ukraine and the whole world is in shock! Not that I am because I did see it coming. How could you not? The dude (who I think has lost his marbles) put so many soldiers on the border of Ukraine so how could we think he wasn't going to attack?! Please pray for the Ukraine!  Now, let's talk about catfishing! Do you know w...

How was your Valentine's Day? Whether with someone special or by yourself, like me, hope it was a nice day. Or just another day as some folks, even couples, see it. :)  I finally joined a gym! Yep! And so glad I did. Alright, as you guys know I'm a military veteran. And I was thinking that even though I started the first season with talking a bit about me when I was 18 I never really went into "de...

It's just not possible to NOT speak about the former POTUS folks. As much as I don't care to nor want to I just can't be silent about him and the things he is up to right now. And the things he did before leaving office. And the fact that he continues to not be held accountable for the craziness he has and continues to do.  Note: mental illness is not a joke. I believe people can live good he...

What's been going on with me? Well, take a listen and you will see. ;-)  Ukraine and Russia????? Like, what the what is going on? We don't need no war world 2! Seriously, Russia...be kind.  Note: I'm a dork and I cannot lie! I choose not to edit and start over because I'm lazy. Hahaha No, really, it's because I like it just being organic in that it's like me...imperfect and full of flaws...

Firstly, I'm not one of those people that go all crazy and cry when my Dallas Cowboys lose. I don't cry myself to sleep when they don't make it passed first round of the NFL playoffs. Not very much anyway. lol No, really, I do well when my team loses. It's life. And I also am able to just carry on as I know there are other things that are more pressing to get upset about. Plus, I know one thing fo...

Welcome to 2022~ the year of the desert???? Listen in to hear what I mean by that. lol As I said in the last episode I wil be talking some politics in this episode. If it ain't your thing my feelings won't be hurt if you don't listen to the entire episode. :)  Masks, masks, masks...have to share a little about some silly people still not being cool with having to wear them in ride share vehicles....

Just a quickie today! How was Christmas? Hope it was a beautiful one! Wanting to wish you a great Happy New Year! I'll probably not do another episode until NEXT YEAR...so y'all be well. Be kind, compassionate, loving with sympathy and empathy and let's pass that along. :)  God bless! Stay safe and keep healthy ---> yes that includes continuing to wear the mask for this omicron ain't playi...

I know I don't normally do an episode so soon after the previous one BUT this is a worthy occasion to doing just so. :) Today makes the TEN years from when cancer was first (officially) discovered and surgically removed. Yes, yes, yes, cancer has returned twice since then BUT we ain't talking about that. For that doesn't take away that despite it returning I'm still here. Glory to God. And that's...

How about them Cowboys?!  Do you know what an empath is? Are you an empath? I am, but not so much on the higher level of what an empath is. If you are, I hope what I shared last episode about being global isn't sending messages that you guys should be all about the news, all the time. I don't want that. :)  Now, I believe it's important to say this: Please pray for all those affected by...

Happy December, y'all! Hope everyone is doing well! Let's get to it! Talking about the latest news -- here in America. 1.) Lauren Boebert is still spewing Islamophobia and she seems to not be sorry. 2.) Las Vegas Raiders was driving drunk at a speed of 157 (purportedly) then decelerated to 127 MPH when he rear ended a young woman that ultimately killed her and her doggie. :(  Lastly, 3.) The...

Ok, so I didn't plan on doing an episode until after Thanksgiving but changed my mind due to, well, something that happened last night. It has to do with reaching out to my and how I was ghosted by them almost a decade ago. Hence the title for this episode. Have you been ghosted? Have you ghosted anyone? Do you think ghosting is good or not so good? Are there situations that warrant to be ghosted...

Hey guys! So, talking a tiny bit about some politics...or rather what craziness that's been taking place with a Republican named Gosar. This dude horribly posted an anime of him killing Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (akn as AOC) and stabbing the current POTUS, Joe Biden. Like WHAT THE WHAT????????? :X He was "censured" today, which I believe means stripped of some of his powers. Not that...

So golden boy Aaron Rogers popped positive for covid and we all found out he was never vaccinated though he misled everyone by saying he was "immunized". Really Aaron, really? We had a nice time in Arkansas. And back to some masks talk. Ugh! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Welcome welcome welcome to season 7 guys! Thanks for being a part of this crazy journey with me! :)  Hope you are having a great November, thus far!  This month is a sensitive one for me as it will be the 1 year anniversary of my mom passing away. I miss her so very much -- fair warning: I get a tad emotional in this episode. We (siblings some nieces and my stepdad) are heading to Arkans...

This is the end of season 6! My (cat) Monkey passed away this time last year. Has being a bit sad today. I miss that little cutie! I had a great time in Vegas seeing former Army Military Police soldiers I hadn't seen in 20 years! Got good news with latest visit to doctors. Sorta. lol :) God bless! Stay safe and keep healthy!  Find out more at the Dallas SPCA regarding adoption a dog: News - F...

It may be just about the end of September but it's not the end of ovarian cancer so it definitely not the end of the awareness for the horrible disease. I don't just spread awareness because I have gone through this cancer three times. Nope, I also do it for ALL those that have lost their lives to it. From the friends I have met along the way to the ones that died who were loved by friends. In par...

Haven't been cussed at or flipped off in over a week. That's something to celebrate! Still have some defiant passengers with not necessarily wanting to wear their masks properly but overall it's been better. Praise God! :)  Have you been following the story of the missing 22 year, Gabrielle Petito? Basically, her and her boyfriend went on a roadtrip and he returned to Florida but just not wit...

What a September it has been!  Please pray for our nation, and for the world. Just seems like evil is going around more and more. :( Had some great ride share experiences but had a few not to great ones too. I share the not great ones more in the hopes that when you  hear about it you get a good understanding of what us drivers have to go through. This last week I was called a "Karen" --...

Alright alright alright! Ok, I do talk a LITTLE about the masks...but truly just a little! ;-)  Talking about things that irk me, that have me perturbed a bit, but I do end on a good note with regards September being ovarian cancer awareness month. Yes, time to get that awareness going as well as getting your TEAL on! :-)  God bless! Stay safe and keep healthy! 

Yes, yes, I am gonna a talk a minute or two or three or more about masks, again! Then about some rideshare driving experiences. And then, lastly, about Afghanistan.  ***Note: I know that the former POTUS, trump, is the one that had made some deal with the Taliban or something that was the start of us pulling out of Afghanistan in the future but it was Biden that put things into action. And wh...
