Greetings, Remember me? It's been over a year since I last published. I am still here. Life has gotten pretty distracting. What is it from? Not entirely sure. Maybe because I am now 30.

I will chime in again soon :) Topics start at 4:51! To when I think of how big the universe is To when I flew on 10 airplanes To when I drove on what felt...

Hey stranger! This episode sat and marinated for a couple of months before making it's way to here. Now it is happy! I moved, again, and live JUST outside of Atlanta.

Wowser, Good things take time. I can't believe the last episode was basically a month ago. Yawn. Time to sleep! No wonder it took so long! Some of this gets weighty.

Hi, It has been an honor and great adventure to spend time with this vocal diary and post it vulnerably for the world to hear. It feels like it is time for me though to process through other creative outlets. This outlet has been a huge blessing and I hope it was somewhat inspirational to you as it was to me. The next episode will include three more topics and some more heartfelt thoughts. I will not say it is the final as I am unsure at the moment, though I will no longer post on a weekly basis...

Woof, My friend had his truck stolen today :( The police found it though! Somewhere on a dirt road maybe 45 miles from its home. This hurt my heart. The thieves stole a lot of other things which belonged to the owner. This too hurt my heart. God knows where everything and everyone is!! Yawn, it's only after midnight here, WHOOPS. I will try not to do that again. Hope you are doing ok :) Romans 8:28 is read. Topics start at 13:21! To when other people do things differently than you Please head ov...

How YOU doin? The weather has been either nice and spring-like or ICE COLD. BRRRRRRR. I am moving across town soon. I just deleted all my social media accounts (TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Linkedin) and talk about why. Talk includes the season of lent and my previous porn addiction. 5:09 to 9:26. By the way, if you delete social media they give you 30 days to change your mind. (This shocked my therapist too!) Here's the name of the vitamin I mention to help with psychological...

HElloooooo :) This week I am deleting social media so it is going to be a weird adventure. Stay tuned for more information next week!

Hey pal, Fun fact: Someone in high school introduced me to the word "pal" and every time I say it I think of her :') As we speak, the right half of my face (including my teeth) are numb :p The numbness made it's way to my ear even. Uhhhhhhhhh. Why my dentist wanted me triple numbed, I do not know. Here we are though! (what else can I tell you right now?) Quack! There is a simple interactive prayer within topic one and a Bible verse (Mark 11:23) within topic two. Topics start at 6:35! To when fit...

Well hello there friend, I made another batch of cookie dough and cannot figure out which ingredient I forgot to add :( Does anybody know? Or maybe I put too much butter in it. Bleh!

Well, wow. Haha hi :p Emotions. We are nearing a full year of Genuinely Quirky episodes and if you have been with me since the start or you are just now joining, thank you :) (Or if you are somewhere in between!) It's been a journey and thanks for coming along. Here I express some frustration but it is just an observation. I also confess my impatience with not getting what I want. Yikes!

Wow this year is FLYING by! (Smirk) If you are sensitive to current events in the United States, I share my Georgia senate runoff story which runs from 1:26 to 4:43. Other than political vortexes, I guess there is a polar vortex coming to Georgia soon so standby for how it goes. New things with me... I have an inhaler now, but hopefully won't need to use it ever. I have a desk job where I joyfully utilize my computer and communication skills. Lastly, I end with a visual scale of God with a messa...

17 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!! I said I was entering Narnia as somewhat of a joke, but Riley is entering her dormant stage for the fall and winter! My therapist is helping me a ton through this time, and I am grateful for her. I am grateful for people. I am grateful for love. I am grateful for you! I would love to hear stories from people who are listening, tell me about you and how you found Genuinely Quirky Things, please? I would love to answer a question or two you have as well.

Yo, Here is the Instagram link to my lion drawing: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ihmvbBchI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Thanks for being here. Within 24 hours, my relationship with Riley (my fern) came up in conversation three different times. So, I might as well tell you too… We’ve gone through a lot between toxicity, control, smothering, distance, silence, brokenness, new environments, and most recently realizing how she thrives when I take care of my mental health😊 My therapist was excited! ...

Greetins! There is a slight weight to this episode, but I would be lying if I said life were perfect all the time. Fall, election, Halloween, seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D), pandemic, etc. Thanks for making it this far 😊 Topic one and two include some side chatter of two hard times I witnessed, I did not include too much information though. Riley got hit hard by the hurricane but still stands strong! We had to do some pruning which means there could be things I need to sort through also 😉...
