Oh Hey Heather, Tell Me A Story

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 

Just thinking about good things. 

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.

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

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

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.
