    May 15 2023

    On Episode 41 of Southern Live Gumbo, we pay homage to all the wonderful mother's in the world on thier day of worship, Mother's Day. We discuss my visit to New Hampshire for graduation and how they are challenging Disney for being the best place for their genre of people as well as sending words of encouragement to Jamie Foxx.

    In our Development pot, we discuss what it means to invest in people from an emotional/support standpoint and what it looks and feels like when that investment pay off in the future.Lastly, we discuss self confidence and self worth, particularly how does someone who is having a low point in both, understand what they're suffering from. And by someone i mean myself.

    As always we only ask for three things. Peace, Love and Horns...please. RiP

  • SLG Episode 39: Christmas Etiquette, Dennis Quaid and The Negatives of Growth
    Dec 29 2022

    On this week's Episode 39 of Southern Live Gumbo, I explain my absence (Again) but share some very good news on how things have been going healthwise. We discuss Christmas etiquette, specifically regifting, using packing materials from other holidays and the average time to remove decorations from the facilities.

    New Year's resolutions and the indirect ways that we can affect the success of others around us, above and below us, just from the positive energy we give off. And lastly, the negatives of growth. How some veterans leave the service and finally start to grow personally, just to find that the growth can have a negative effect on their lives and their families.

    Our veteran spotlight this episode is Pua's Plate Lunch at puasplatelunch.com , where this former military spouse is serving authentic Hawaiian food to the DMV area.

    As always I only ask for three things. Peace, Love and Horns...please. RiP
