My Podcast Conclusion. I went to a film and a couple hidden truths in my subconscious came to light. In regards to being an Emergency Department nurse in New York City……

Every college basketball fan MUST have a dream. Same one I had. The one that could never come true and why I’d get teared up at the NCAA tourney championship final buzzer……HOWEVER, for me it did happen!! My beloved Jay Wright led Villanova 2016 & 2018 NCAA champs? Well three of them are on the same NBA team, they are all starters, friends. What makes it completely a trip to Fantasy Island? As if t...

Bit of a heartbreaking & not embellished at all tale of how ALMOST my entire biological family treats me like a delinquent loser.

This is my personal experience in western PA of a school district I have known TOO long. It was begrudgingly mine back in the day. Some obviously MISERABLE humans are being allowed to coach kids & they are killing their spirits. Good athletes are quitting my beloved game of basketball due to how AWFUL these coaches are. It’s unacceptable. The people in charge of these men are ALLOWING this to cont...

Please don’t let my frustration and tone bring you down if you listen. Because I promise you. The gift of l...

The so called Holiday Season can be anything but the “most wonderful time of the year” for many people. This round? Include me.

The opening week of basketball season inspired me to explain how connected I am to the game…..and also how much it has and had a huge impact on basically my entire life. Plus the explained credit due to the handful of people that helped make it my Peace & Love. 🏀❤️🏀

Despite a positive nod from someone I trust actually probably the most in the world, ME with a Podcast just seemed impossible. So to my listeners…whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come! Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome. 🎤🗽❤️

If there’s even a slight chance at getting something that will make you happy, RISK IT. Life’s too short and happiness is too rare.

Maturity is the ability to walk away from people and situations that threaten your peace of mind, self respect, values, morals or self worth!

Follow my gypsy like flea market loving self through the highlights of the homes I have had! And why I chose them……it was all about finding MY own neighborhood.

When you truly do not care what CERTAIN PEOPLE think of you, YOU have reached a dangerously awesome level of freedom!!! by the way, the photo attached to this episode, one taken by me, I kinda believe was the way in and out of the BATCAVE......

Everything in this world is temporary. Life changes. People come and go. And seasons never last. Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination....... Love, Christine
