Welcome to Season 2! New Season, new podcast title! I was doing a video chat with a friend and we were discussing the current situation in our lives. I mentioned that there were things that were making me a very dull girl. I started listing them and I think they’re pretty funny. And most of them are true. I thought I’d share 25 things that are making me a dull girl and 25 things that are making me content. Maybe we have some things in common. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/support

Welcome to the Introduction for the upcoming comedy short story series based on the real life of three best girlfriends. These comedy short stories explore what three women in midlife go through when they all find themselves single again. It’s not “The Golden Girls” and it’s not “30 Something” it’s that time of life in between. Be prepared to laugh. Be prepared to relate. Nothing is off-limits (well, almost nothing). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/support

No matter what you call it: butt, derrière, arse, or hiney, our hind end has been revered as one of our greatest assets. (Sorry, I had to). As we age we may notice that things aren’t where they used to be. What can we do about it? Can we do anything about it? Yes, and no. So many factors play into how our rear view looks. Some are genetic, some are hormonal, some are diet and some are lack of exercise. I have a few ideas on how to treat our tush. . In this podcast episode I make an ass of myself. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/support

This is an anecdote about a time I went to Costa Rica to a hot mineral water resort. I encountered a late 30-something man who decided that saying what he said to me was better than not saying anything at all. He was wrong! But it makes a really good story. https://www.kazakers.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/support

I’ve been shy about burping or passing gas around anyone for a very long time. I’m just bathroom shy. Period. Are bodily functions humiliating for you? They are for me. Or do you just let ‘er rip? I’ve got a ton of stories about it and I imagine you do too. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/support

What can I say? The recent events regarding another young black man are intolerable. The only way I could express what I’m feeling is through poetry. Doesn’t make me sleep much better at night. But it helps. I passed this poem on to my dear African-American, male friends. Do I get it? Have I said anything that can help heal the suffering of the family and friends of any victims of violence perpetrated on young black men?

I spent my share of time listening to gurus, Maharishis, Roshis, sages and guides. All in all I found with a little encouragement I knew what I needed to know, when I needed to know it. Teachers are fantastic until you hand over the responsibility for your life to them. Save some money and listen to my stories on my experiences and those of a few friends. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/support

Can we imagine what it might mean to live forever? All the things that would change because of living forever. Medicine, the anti-aging business, relationships, you name it. What would living forever look like? If we got ill would we be ill forever? Would we be immune to disease? OR what if we were able to live long, extended lives? What does it take to live a healthy, extended life? What would we change about living, if anything? What could be changed in our environment, technology and medicine if we lived longer lives? How would we treat each other, and the planet if we lived longer or indefinitely? Give it some thought, and then have a listen. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/support

I don’t think any place I could ever have taught meditation or Qigong could’ve helped me learn how to go with the flow more than working in juvenile justice. You never know what to expect. You never know what the mood is. You always have to be on your toes prepared to throw out the lesson plan and, well, go with the flow. Make it up as you go along. Use all your knowledge and learning and sometimes fly by the seat of your pants with it. There’s nothing wrong with that. Right now, it’s really important that everyone has the same attitude. We’ve got to go with the flow. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/areyousureaboutthis/support
