I try to learn something new every day and this is a big something. I definitely wouldn't have been using this word if I knew that it's derogatory to a specific group of people that have a long history of atrocious treatment.

I'm a firm believer that knowledge is power and as the knowledge of this racial slur word was brought to my attention, I thought it best to have an episode about it so y'all can know about it too.

Thanks AS ALWAYS for giving me a listen and continue to support with this podcast. Y'all rock!

Be well. Stay safe. God bless. 🌻

As one who has a profound respect for law enforcement, I can't deny that there are bad cops out there. We all know they exist. Though we wish they didn't. Kinda like corrupt politicians. #justsayin

This is NOT to put the profession of law enforcement down. This is just about the minority that, IMO, put a bad spotlight on the profession. 👎🏽

That said, do you personally see it about some bad apples or a bad system that needs fixing OR both?

To all the amazing cops out there (and all first responders) thank you for what you do, may God 's angels always protect you. 👮🏽‍♀️👮🏽🚓🤗

Thanks for giving me a listen. 🫶🏽

My apologizes for not talking about veteran's day! It may be late, but I definitely am talking about it now! Big thank you for ALL that have served in the armed forces -- regardless of which branch and which era. ALL are appreciated! 🫡💓

The other topic is something I could not put off anymore as it's truly sad to me to see such hate coming out more and more in social media for New York Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani -- like really? We Christians are supposed to LOVE as Christ loved/loves us. So, of course, I felt compelled to get real about this topic. Fear mongering and hate has never gotten the human race anywhere! #facts

Thanks so much for your continued support. It means the world to me! #bet 😉🫶🏽

The following is an article that supports the findings I spoke about with regards to the rise of Islamophobia since Zohra Mamdani ran for Mayor of New York: 👇🏽

NOTE: I'm no expert in AI -- and there's still much to learn and understand about it. Like how the coding for AI works. I 'm including an article down below that can help you (as well as myself) understand more about "Ethics in AI". 👇🏽👍🏽

Yes, it was time for me to go somewhat more in depth with talking about AI but this time as it relates to humans having a relationship and not just any relationship but "romantic" ones. Just as not good is that humans are turning to AI for mental health advice.

I do my best not to judge nor kink shame; however, when it comes to the little ones, teenagers included, it is dangerous for them to be turning to AI for emotional support (and/or for romantic relationships) because that's what we are for -- to be there for one another.

What adults do, as long as they too know that they can only get so much help from AI, is their business, of course as long as they are never hurting anyone or themselves. But yeah the kids, I hope that things will not keep going the way they are. 🙏🏽

AND this is not me being anti-AI as I have said before -- it's not AI that is the problem it is the ones running it or that could get their hands on it for nefarious purposes. That's what concerns me.

As always, thanks for your continued support. 🌻

I had been frustrated with an individual I had been volunteering with, and it had me thinking about my love for it, for volunteer work -- though I don't see it as work at all. 🫶🏽

Have you ever done any volunteering? Would you be interested in it maybe in the future? If so, what type of volunteering would you like to do, anything specific?

Thank you so much for continuing to support this podcast -- it means more than you know! 🤗

God bless. Stay safe. Be well. 🌻

Have you ever heard of parasocial or parasocial relationship? I sure never have. Of course, I know what a stalker is and what stalking is about. But this term yeah never heard of it.

**Note: There is a chance that it could go from one sided to one and a half sided due to their being a chance for reciprocal communication which I feel is the case of the true crime story I mention in this episode and that is written about in the link below. 👍🏽**

Thanks so much for your support -- it means so much!

As of this recording we are on day 33 of the government shutdown. The last one, under trump, was 35 days. And because of this shutdown Federal employees are still not getting paid and many have been furloughed. Things are not good in here in America. NOW, there's a chance that millions on SNAP benefits will not be getting those benefits to help them feed themselves and their family. We continue to be in perilous times, y'all.

Keep praying for this country and the world. Prayer is power!

I've included some articles to help you understand more about some of the things happening in this country: #knowledgeispower
