Which Restaurant Closes For Good? + Important Updates

Hey y'all, in this episode I cover the grand re-opening of Texas businesses.  The following types of businesses will open back up once again for Texans at a 25% capacity starting May 1st, 2020:  Retailers Restaurants Movie Theatres There's going to be a slightly different take for all of these sorts of businesses, especially for movie theatres. But at restaurants, you can expect disposable menus, disposable side condiments, and the like.  The 2nd wave of businesses opening will not happen for these businesses until May 18th, 2020 (If everything goes well): Bars (even if they serve food) Clubs Hair salons Barbershops Can we go back to normal yet? One Dallas business owner is keeping her salon open despite emergency orders: Shelly Luther of Salon A La Mode, is taking a stand and keeping her business open despite being sent a cease and desist letter. She has customers, supporters, and police all around and she is not being arrested. Good luck Shelly! Thanks for listening! Stay tuned for interviews with local business owners and creatives.

Back To Business in Texas: Will Things Go Back To Normal?

Hey there friend. The world seems to have gone to a grinding halt and along with it has gone the normalcy of what once was life as we knew it. COVID-19 or coronavirus has been a scary wake up call for me and a terrible sickness for others. I believe we will get through this eventually and come out the other side more experienced and ready for the random chaos that life may throw at us. I’m wishing you and your family great health and prosperity in these uncertain times!

Exposed: What I Learned From The Pandemic

Hey y’all! All I needed was some time alone to rediscover my passion for writing. I go over why I love words and how I rediscovered my love for poetry and books. I hope this episode reminds you of what you love - I needed to get to a quiet place and step away from the world for a bit to figure it out and I’m so glad I did. Enjoy!
