Oh Hey Heather, Tell Me A Story

Aunt Sherry joins me for a fun conversation about purpose, hospice and not showing your boobs

I don’t know. It’s just been too long and I felt like talking out loud and this oak tree is beautiful. It’s a happy evening in backyard land.

Random realizations and idea plantings for positive solutions to fix our ocean

Suck it up buttercup the answers are coming. Now what to do

Driving in the dark reflecting on talks of faith and taking account how the tree branches work

Thinking out loud more positive ways to fix things ourselves and not wait for the bosses to do it because they don’t like us no mo

Thinking out loud and randomly about being settled and unsettled at once

I was listening to Danny’s Song and my secret challenge to try talking out loud more and then thought about what beauty really means.

Poor tree guy just wanted me to hurry up! My bad ….

I heard this man on that TV thing that perplexed me and then took me into a connection of memory and realization I pray no one EVER has

This undiagnosed cold circling America is legit crappola yet some things are still worth looking forward to.

I go into the rabbit hole while inside the bunker to diffuse the great resignation debate

Idk. Just felt like pointing out all the great reasons why we should all come together and make a pact to be one United States of truth so we can get back to normal stuff like office politics lol

We’re all kids. We just have more years to hone what we know through the eyes we see. Be nice to kids. Let’s guide them thru this muck we let happen. What do you say?

We buy a lot of stuff for a lot of people and here’s where we could start buying stuff instead

The immediate onset may not be real but in the moment it is totally

Sunrises and reading a letter in the parking lot at work

As long as you could prove you were poor, your parents were poor, you weren’t European skin colored and or a teen mother American-you could get a pell grant for free tuition and expenses for college. You just had to get in line first because they run out. Fortunately for me, no one hurried to beat me late in the game

Trying to find the article in Rolling Stone about this little known fake experiment town in China called Shenzhen and the house that built me

A 47 minute plea on whatever analogy it takes to see why we won’t truly own anything if we don’t see where all the expense is really going in the end

I decided to talk locally in an effort to unite us from falling into the division that the national media wants us to have and instead focus on our expertise and due diligence to work together and preserve our community.

What if we could all do good and be good at the same time. Or find that place to feel good more than not. A ponderous discussion out loud

It’s actually about a pile of rocks and what’s up with wanting to fit in

Story while driving about Dennis Quaid and current times

This is a hodge lodge of some thoughts while driving and processing more of why and how you react to your surroundings and apply it to yourself

I was actually working on my teen talk previous episode in my closet and these thoughts were extra ones. I have a great marriage.

I think I want to talk to teens. Would they let me? Here’s my case.

My thoughts on why there’s no consistent outcry of Bill Cosby and how we can use this as an opportunity to be really who we claim to want everyone to be.

I think about all the demographics, firmagraphics and psychographics we use to segment targeted marketing and audience ideation to say it versus spray it in advertising. I reflect on all the ones I’ve been before and hope to be someday - income independent to take in every moment life has to offer as I evolve into a better human of purpose

Better out than in, ‘they’ always say

Part 1 of my trip and a deep dive into pores

I’ve been walking a lot. Go time at work to not leave anyone hanging while I duck out and go to a western adventure in three days with the boys for many first experiences. I gotta walk. And talk. And let loose. So I keep my sanity. Here goes.

Reflecting o. Memories and experiences that support what I’m trying to process now and finding ways to make it make sense

Sharing knowledge and thinking of how to explain it all while wishing someone could just explain it all. And the power of positivity is key. I may mention West Virginia again. *PS I realize after research there’s 195 countries, not more than 200

Bonus thought seed packet of what the hell might be going on before my husband came home and I stopped. I will finish later. You see where I’m going if you decide to hear part deuce

I talk about the show Morbid, The Congo and a special place near and dear to me that’s full of Rednecks.

As I figure out tech and limits, this is a discussion of plausible theory to finding the truth of healing

But I know right now I know it’s a thing. Anyway.

I talk about Tyson chicken, happiness, Bull sperm and after I play the song that sparked this whole 15 minute thought I added a bonus thought about process or procrastinating.

A long story about retirement.

I was thinking about significance and vantage points of events that change your perspectives

Random thoughts about growing and knowing in the limbo of life.

I need to thank people more often for being a part of the solution and not the problem.

Observations of Tom Segura, Pandora, Daniel Tosh and knowing trends of behaviors

Thoughts on my normal commute in an abnormal world.

I listen to the birds and think about things more quietly. Rambling forward.

I started to see the pattern with a saying in saw on the wall at a beautiful birdhouse and then it hit me even though I can’t remember what it said.

Total rambling of the debate in my mind about how hard it must be for my son's to choose what adult career they want to pursue. I don't even know for myself anymore, let alone at 15 in this world.  How fortunate we are to live in a country where we have a choice...mostly.  This was raw - and rambling. Usually I bullet my thoughts and try to keep the train on the track. Today, got a little sideways before back on track 

Quick 30 second reference of a typical family night for now

Reflection on freedom, fame and family

We all need our own space, even in our minds. Don’t fill it all up this way ..

Just thinking about good things. 

Everybody wants to belong to something and now there’s so many clubs you can fit in to several. So long as you do what they say.

Patterns. It dawned on me how many patterns we live with or get used to

Factual things to ponder before we lose what we've got.

In a world of upside downs and high emotions - myself included- I just had to take a long walk, breathe and process some thoughts and let them go out into the air like water droplets that merged with coronavirus 'lil guys somehow.   I don't want to be a preppy prepper. 

It's every conversation. Every News Story. Every post. Every Headline. It's full on what we can't help talk about. Here's how to change the conversation and create something else while everyone's busy.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe I am right but what I feel comes from validating news with truth - as true as you can find it.  Maybe I shouldn't have started a podcast when we were introduced to Covid-19 and now destruction of several big cities in our country. It can consume you and your every thought because that is all we see and hear and are told, and usually persuaded to lean one way or another - yet no where in between.  If we must pick sides, I choose America. And if we must point fingers at every individual without 100% exact beliefs as us, point at me. I don't mind. My opinions, theories and ideas come from the best of intentions to heal our country and allow everyone to wake up from the trance and use our minds again. Dream. Examine.Reconsider. Research.  Prove me wrong with facts, they are out there. You may have to dig, but history cannot repeat itself again.  This is my thoughts, while we still have freedom to share them.  Thank you for listening.

I almost didn’t tell you this because I like hidden gems with low participation or awareness for smaller crowds and lines to the bathroom.

We use words everyday, so why is there a communication problem? Let's break it down.

I left my house to tell a story

And dog gone it, I hope you think this is funny. 

Bonus I just found a covid ad I like So I had to share now and not late

We talk encounters, interpretation and tornadoes - there's alot more and the first parts were a little popping but hang in there. It gets deep and fun 

I had an idea, that came from another idea that was from someone else's idea and wondered if ideas come from ideas and that's when people give up if they ran out of ideas so they accepted it. While driving in the rain. 

When you find joy in the little things, it gives you breaks from the big things. If you just want to go to TJ Maxx, it's not materialistic. It's something you once enjoyed and must give up. It's ok, you just have to find it in other places. Like these. 

I dig in to the rabbit hole of ideas that businesses could do. This one is about Nails, Jersey Mike's, Oprah, Green beans and a Food Truck. Enjoy. 

They Scream We Scream We All Scream For Real Ice Cream

April 29th 2020 there was no riot on the street tell me where were you. You were parked at home watching your TV while I was parked out in some new anarchy ....Miss you Bradley Nowell. Homage to home and today was a really. good. day. Toula Belle 

Resilience is a muscle and either this Corona vibe is rippling effects into all kinds of weird places or I just got something wrong with our water. Either way, everything little thing is gonna be alright people. This ones for the guys and gals who will see what I mean. 

Part of my Corona Chronicles, I talk about thoughts on confinement and over consumption with lots of ideas sprinkled in when there's so much opportunity to find your purpose 2.0 

Sometimes you wish you could turn it off, but exploring customer experience today and how old methods or missed opportunities keep showing up is quite the story to talk about. 

Some people put off vibes that may be current mood or character avoid. Or the opposite, you're drawn to their inspiration and you find them and their stories one you enjoy.  Or is it just me? Talking it through. Talking it through. 

Sometimes you don't see the forest if you're living in the trees - Being away from my hometown and looking at all the stories, makes we wonder if West Virginians aren't the modern day story of a much needed rescue to begin escaping the 210 year oppression we don't realize has happened.  You may begin to rethink what joking about 'Redneck Hillbillys' really means. 

After so many times I've wanted to begin a podcast and didn't. Plus, having several commitments from amazing people with amazing stories to share - it's time. Time to put action where my words are.  So here it is. And, as we are in the midst of a pandemic and all sorts of divisions, I figured I'd kick off the first episode while everyone is contemplating whether their contribution to society is essential or non essential and trying really hard to stay away from each other. This is me, raw and unfiltered and rambling. Agree or enjoy, these are thoughts weaved together with stories and I am sure my housemates are excited that I go into a room and talk to myself in a microphone then bore them with a full on dissertation on where my mind has been these past few days.  Happy quarantine world. As we all are shutting down, I've decided to open up and give it a whirl.  Cheers. Oh, and watch Tiger King. If anything else.
