Grey Roots and Chicken Boots

Smile on the outside helps you to smile on the inside. Positive attitude goes a long way, even during challenging times. I am a self-taught hobby podcaster and creative writer, with a zest for creating stories that get us thinking about life, inclusion and seeing the world through a different lens. This is unfiltered, so you might hear an occasional word that might send me on time out in the chicken coop. Oh well, I have grey roots and I wear chicken boots, so it is what it is. Simply me. Enjoy!

Witches don't belong on Christmas trees, so why are stores blending the holidays into one big commercial display? In today's episode, I share my own feelings on early celebrations and discuss reasons why retailers may be chomping at the bit to get a start on Christmas decor. With Halloween around the corner, I also reflect on the challenges of fireworks, and how time and place can make a difference for those affected. Am I getting old and grumpy, or just simply saying it like it is? Lots to talk about, and with a bit of consideration we can all find ways to get along.
