***Note: When I said "looks matter, it is not everything because looks fade -- it's so much more than looks, so sorry I didn't add that when I mentioned looks. 🙈***

Alight talking -- the main topic anyway -- about a word that I have never heard of before, but boy oh boy is it important, IMO, to know about it. It's actually scary and quite troublesome -- perhaps the community rather than the word itself.

And that word is, incel! I don't know if you know about it but it is short for: Involuntary Celibate. Meaning, those that are not having sex but not because they are choosing not to have sex.

There's a lot to this and I'm only going over it a little bit, but the link to the article I use in the episode is below.

Thanks as always for giving me a listen -- it's my pleasure to be your cup of tea. 🫶🏽

Be well. Stay safe. God bless. 🌻

This was a somewhat impromptu topic for today's episode. And that's because of... well.... you are just going to have to jump right in and give it a listen to find out! 😉

Hey, please do give this podcast a rate, review, and a follow -- if you haven't done so already. 🫶🏽

Thanks so so so much for continuing to allow me to be your cup of tea --- or coffee or water or whatever drinking beverage you like the most. Please know it means a lot to me! ♥️

Be well. Stay safe. God bless. 🌻

***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: 👇🏾

Welcome back y'all! As you will hear it was hard for me to stay away and give myself a proper break between seasons. But I managed.

So much going on! So much to get real about! TOO MUCH TO NOT IGNORE! And one of those things is the murder of Renee Good. ICE is out of control, y'all!

Let's do it let's get to it <--probably will say that more!

Hope all are well and that the year is going good for you. But if it's not -- you are so not alone. It's crazy right now. Hold on though -- God's got you!

Stay safe. Be well. God bless.

***Happy to report that a gofundme was created after the murder of Renee Good that raided 1.5 million that will go to help her wife and her children. To God be the glory!🙌🏽***

Well season three is a wrap!

What a year this has been. From the passing of a wonderful lady, my aunt and a wild man, my uncle. I know they are with my mom and the rest of my uncles and that gives me comfort to a friendship ending. But it's not all been not so great as some good stuff happened in 2025 too. Doing some traveling always makes my soul feel great and of course spending time with family.

But I'm looking forward to 2026 just the same! It's my prayer that it will be much better (especially with regards to a certain someone in the white house ugh!)

This podcast would not be possible if it wasn't for y'all! Thank you for choosing me to be your cup of tea with continuing to give me a listen! It's why I keep coming back for a new episode. And now a new season -- in two or so weeks as I am in need of a lil break. 🙃

Have a happy and safe New Year! 🎇🍾🥳🥂

Until next time... see you on the flip side! 🫶🏽

Thanks for joining me for another one! Y'all rock! 🫶🏽

Why some folk have to be about being loud in the early morning hours when everyone is trying to sleep? Seriously, just be mindful of others yo! It's. That. Easy. 🤦🏽‍♀️

A little real talk about health stuff BUT nothing about cancer -- THANK YOU JESUS! FRFR -- these things aren't great but they aren't anything life concerning. Which is very good.

Life be life-ing. As it does for us all. #bet

As always: Be well. Be safe. God bless. 🌻

Some humor: 👇🏽👇🏽🤣The Early Bedtime: My neighbor yelled at her kids so loud last night that even I brushed my teeth and went to bed early.
