***The title for this episode is by Alexander Hamilton -- I believe it's a paraphrase though. I mention it in the episode as well. Sorry I got this one out later than planned. 🙈***

Oh, y'all oh y'all, I got really into some of the things going on and how incredibly passionate about it all. BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS!

I promised not to make every episode about politics and I'm keeping that promise -- or maybe not a promise but more of a desire, even for me. lol

The artist I quoted about the agree to disagree is an up-and-coming country singer named Bryan Andrews. He uses a bit more profanity than I care for -- just being real -- but he seems legit with his passion with everything going on. I really recommend giving him a listen. But beware he is just as passionate as I am but actually probably even more. For real, he is using his love for music and this country in his songs and some don't like that because he is not shying away from speaking out and speaking up! Bravo to him!

Thank you for continuing to give me a listen. It means soooooo much to me! Y'all rock! 🫶🏽

Be well. Stay safe. God bless. 🌻

What do you think about the podcast's intro? Yes, it is mean to be cheeky! 😉😆

\For this episode I'm happy to say that Real Talk with Hope has another guest! He's a guy that I met one day when Ubering a few years ago and a friendship was born. 😃

He is an Air Force veteran, a transplant (someone that is from one stare but living in another state for those that aren't familiar with that word) in Washington D.C., and just a cool dude. And I brought him really to share his awesome cross country train ride and to also talk a little about his webcast -- something I am sharing with y'all.

Thank y'all as always for giving me a listen. 🫶🏽

Be well. Stay safe. God bless! 🌻

Happy Wednesday!

Wednesday will be the day I drop new episodes -- for now, just Wednesday so no more Monday episodes. I appreciate you sticking with me. I know I can be flakey sometimes. I suppose that's why I don't like making promises. That said, there could be times when I feel too strongly about something and will come on and do an episode more than once a week. That is a possibility with me! 😉

On this one, well, I get real with eating disorders.

Knowledge is power! When I learn (more about) something I like being able to share. And that's what this episode is about. 😊

Stay safe. Be well. God bless. 🌻

Note: The song I referenced was first made famous by Jackie DeShannon then the Carpenters sang it but never as a stand alone song. I can't find any videos of them singing it BUT as I want you to see her as a performer here's a video of their famous songs -- I think she had a truly beautiful voice: 👇🏾
