The Thrill. The Anticipation. And finally, the rush that courses through your body when you find it. Yep. The missing charging cord for your phone with 3% battery life before an important call. A feeling like no other. What else can possibly compare?

By now, E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y wanted out, and simply wanted to go home to be with family and friends--and to think this through.  Whew! It was A LOT to process at the time.

I'm feeling nostalgic and missing the hustle and bustle on New York City pre-Pandemic.  This episode is a REWIND from the SERIES- NYC Stories:  " NYC Transit Olympics & The Platform Agility Event"

Seats are at a PREMIUM on the subway.  So if you're on the platform, and see a train coming into the station with super crowded train cars, and there is a T-O-T-A-L-L-Y   E-M-P-T-Y car in between those other packed subway cars--choose wisely.  There is a reason for this wonderful gift of alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the seats.

Back in the lab with new stories in August 2020. 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾*waves happily and blows kiss*

Mini stories created for you to stop by & listen, but most importantly rest.

We've come to the final episode in our February love series! Today's episode is all about victory. It's about knowing that this is who you're going to be with, despite the roller coaster ride. You're in it together, and you now can walk this emotional journey with a friend who also happens to hold your heart too.

This episode in our February Love Series is all about remembering what brought you both together in the first place.  Sometimes a gentle reminder is needed, and it is always appreciated. 

Episode 2 in our Love Series is dedicated to our male listeners.  Ever been caught off guard by the beauty and power of a genuine smile (from a special someone)?  It was the smile you didn't know you needed until that very moment, and we'll explore that feeling during this episode! James Taylor's song "Your Smiling Face" captures the feeling perfectly, and the link to song is in the show notes below.  #KeepSmiling
