How does one truly embrace the journey of aging gracefully and find joy in personal evolution? Join me as I reflect on turning 40, transitioning from the planning of a grand celebration to choosing a more authentic and fulfilling experience. I share a touching moment from a family reunion where I prioritized comfort over societal expectations by wearing flats instead of heels, signifying a deeper acceptance of self-awareness and practicality. This episode is filled with insights on the importance of following your true desires and finding happiness in simplicity.

As we navigate the 40s, we explore the evolving interests and priorities that shape our lives. I'll take you through my newfound love for personalized tea mugs and the unexpected shift towards the comfort of satin sleepwear. We'll also discuss the significance of building meaningful connections in both personal and professional spheres. Embracing my identity as an extroverted introvert, I've made a conscious effort to expand my network and engage with empowering communities like the Black Girl Social Club. This shift marks a profound change from my once predominantly introverted ways, showcasing the beauty of personal growth and connection.

Finally, we delve into the wisdom that comes with maturity, particularly in maternal guidance. Being a supportive listener for young adults and allowing them the freedom to navigate their own paths is a crucial part of this journey. We talk about the importance of self-acceptance and the power to make changes for oneself. In challenging situations, I highlight how embracing emotions and meditation can provide clarity and prevent impulsive decisions. Tune in to discover how to celebrate milestones, like our upcoming gift box raffle for the 10th episode, and find inspiration in the stories shared. Let's embrace the elegance of aging gracefully together.

Speaker 1:

Welcome back to Her Cup Overflows podcast. I'm your host and cultured certified Reiki master, Qwanze Tolbert. If you're new here or you chose to circle the block with me, I thank you and welcome you just the same. Her Cup Overflows is a listening community of healing for the mind, body and soul. Each episode is a timeless conversation overflowing with wisdom to fill your cup with resilience, courage and empowerment. These conversations are inspired by real-life experiences, the traumas and the triumphs. But it wouldn't be a place for healing if I didn't hold a safe space for trauma, without judgment, but with accountability, honesty and commitment, because in those three things lies your superpower to overcome life's adversities, and that new energy becomes the catalyst to you living out loud, living freely and unapologetically. On your terms, that is Her Cup Overflows. So a couple of episodes back, I was talking about the plans that I had for my 40th birthday and all of the elaborate things I was planning and doing to throw this theme birthday party that I was so excited about. But as I got closer to my 40th birthday like I just had a whole energy shift that I decided that's not what I wanted and in a typical space I would make the decision. Well, you know, we have money invested and it's been closer to the date and we've already set expectations with a good bit of people, so just go with it. I was like F that like I am not doing that, I'm going to choose what makes me happy, and that's exactly what I did. And recently I went to this event. It was a family reunion of my babe and they had a special, you know they. It was like a whole weekend thing, and so one of the events of the weekend was an all-white or ceremony. And while I was finding an outfit cause, if you know me, you know I looks for a good fashion opportunity, honey I mean I'm going all out. I love fashion, I love making things just come together, even if it doesn't have the typical sense of matching. I just don't know how to pull stuff together and she'd be looking like she's ready to, you know, be out on a night on the town and stuff. So, anyway, this white party, you know I was like, okay, well, what kind of mood am I gonna be in? So, if you know anything about me just sharing some personal stuff, I dress feet up. I tend to have more shoes than the usual, because my shoes always speak to my mood. So typically when I'm thinking about what I'm going to wear, I choose my shoes first and then whatever outfit is going to be outfitting based on the shoes. And so if you see me in sneakers, I'm probably more chill, relaxed, that's just the energy that I'm in. If you see me in heels, a girl feeling, you know real, real girlish, you know real flirtatious, you know in that sexual sensual energy type thing, that's kind of you know where I am. But age has changed that for me, and it's not the number alone of aging, but it is the maturity that I've realized and heavily embraced that comes with aging. That has created the conversation for today's topic aging gracefully, the conversation for today's topic Aging Gracefully.

Speaker 1:

So for this all white event, I chose to wear flats. I chose to wear some really cute like denim sandals because I had a denim bag to match. You know, all the good accessories and stuff. But the funny thing about this is I chose this outfit maybe about a month before the event even took place, and a month ahead of that I just automatically knew that I was going to choose sandals. Now, the funny thing about that there was a time where Absolutely not not choosing sandals, not choosing flats. I'm about to choose some heels. That's what I'm wearing, you know, especially all white, like. I know I'm about to get real cute, so I'm going to have on some type of little cute heels to go with it. But that thought ain't even passed my mind Over a month ago. My energy was already saying for a month an event that was happening a month later that no, we're going to be on some real cute chills though.

Speaker 1:

And so I chose to wear some flats and I knew that this wasn't necessarily a ceremony. You know, sometimes we choose things because maybe, like, if you're going to a concert and you know that you're going to be dancing, or you know, maybe it's an outside event, you may be standing and stuff like that. So you may choose to choose based on the level of comfort. I probably would not have done it back in the day. I probably would have still chose a heel and I would just chosen the fact that beauty is pain and went with it. Right, I get a massage the next day. Maybe I put some lidocaine on my feet or whatever to numb it to help me get through the night, because your good sisters want to be extra cute.

Speaker 1:

But this didn't happen with this and I think I had a light bulb moment, like for myself. I was like, oh dang, I have really matured in a way that has allowed me to gracefully embrace my age. And again, when I say age, I'm just talking about the maturity of it all and not necessarily the number. So it made me. This has been on my mind heavily a lot because I'm starting to identify different areas of my life where I have truly embraced aging, and it's not just about the look of clothes and nothing like that. It's so many other things that I think about or I encounter a conversation with somebody and I was like you know, I have really matured in this area and I think back some years ago.

Speaker 1:

I have someone near and dear to me and it was their 40th birthday and they are older than me and I was so excited for their 40th birthday. I think I was more excited than I know. I was more excited than they were because for me, this is somebody I truly, truly love. And if you see this person in the physical, like age what 40? Where you know somebody who has like the looks, you know everything about them screamed fine as wine, right, young, forever, forever, 21, all of those things. But this person was turning 40. And so I'm so excited because I'm like you know, good, sis is turning 40, she has aged gracefully. I'm thinking you know back then number wise, she's aged gracefully. I'm ready to celebrate with her.

Speaker 1:

You know, this is a milestone in life and I remember I made a post on Facebook, like you know, you know, celebrating, going all out, calling this person out, and I got a text, probably not even two minutes after making that post, like take it down, take it down, don't even care nothing about me showing all this extra love. You know being real loud on social media, you know it's celebrating them, acknowledging them and all that stuff, but it wasn't necessarily post. It's the fact that I said their age and so in that moment I didn't necessarily question it, because you know it's not me, like you know, I don't have to feel any type of way about somebody else feeling some type of way about their age but it really was like a step back to reassess myself and like, well dang, where am I in life? Right? And, like I said, I'm younger than this person. So when I got ready you know I'm thinking about years were coming, my years were coming up and I was going to be 40. Like, am I going to feel like that? Like what will put me in a position to maybe feel I don't.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what it was with this person. I don't know if it was embarrassment, I don't know if it was guilt, I don't know if it's shame. If it's, I don't know what it was and I didn't question it because it's, quite frankly, it isn't my business. This person know I love them. This person know I didn't have any ill intention or nothing like that, and even when this person texted me to take it down, it didn't come across as nasty and mean anything Like it really told me that it was the age part of it that was a problem. So I did it right. I ain't trying to, you know, I don't want no smoke, but nobody's age. That's your business, that's between you and God.

Speaker 1:

So I end up editing posts and taking out the whole age thing. You know that was that I left alone. But moving forward, that thing, that experience, always sat with me, because then I started to worry about myself as I was approaching the age 40. Some years so fast forward years come my 40th birthday get here and I'm like super excited. So the same way that I felt about her is the same way I felt about myself. Like your good sis has overcome some major stuff in life and some stuff that probably should have taken me out but it didn't and I am here.

Speaker 1:

So when I was turning 40, that's kind of how I came to that whole elaborate party I'm about to celebrate myself. I've never had a birthday party before as an adult. Let me say that I've had plenty of parties, a good bit of parties when I was younger, that I can recall. Plenty of parties. A good bit of parties when I was younger, that I can recall, you know, going out to dinner and things like that. But an actual like big planned celebration, that's what I was going for. But my energy was like, no, we not doing that, and I chose differently. So my birthday come.

Speaker 1:

You know I make these changes I mentioned in a previous podcast. You know I went from planning this party to I end up buying a car. I had to order the car because I had an exact preference of the car that I wanted the inside, outside, all of that stuff. I had to order my furniture because I wanted to redo my bedroom and stuff like that. And so you know, I did all those things and I was super happy with the outcome of just doing that. I still had small celebrations with, you know, my good Judys and, like my mom, my sisters, things like that, but nothing big. And you know I was. I was excited, like that's all I needed. That fed my soul. It's exactly what I needed. I don't know what I would have felt like if I would have decided to continue to pursue the party, but what I did do it was for me and I was grateful to be. I was grateful for those who were also celebrating me, but I was grateful for myself and just listening to myself, right, and doing what felt good, just for me. Now ain't nobody tell me.

Speaker 1:

And I was on social media fussing about this because I have never had any type of facial hairs at all, ever, never, ever in the history of Kwanzaa, never ever. And I swear to God, about two weeks after my 40th birthday if it was even that long it's like this little one chin hair was waiting for me to turn 40. So, oh, so she can pop out like it's her 40th birthday. So I had one little chin hair that showed up and I was feeling some type of way. Now I was happy to be 40, but I'm like that damn it. Now if this, if chin hairs come with the age of 40, I don't want it, I don't want it, no more. And I know and I made a post about it and had some good old laughs, because what I didn't realize is a lot of women, despite age, younger than me, older than me, talked about their experience of having, you know, chin hairs and things like that, like their entire life or young adult life, you know, and things like that. So I was like, okay, it made me feel better because I'm not in this alone, but I did feel some type of way about that little damn chin here. So that was that, but I didn't get over that.

Speaker 1:

But when I think about aging gracefully and my experience, there's so many things, like I said, that comes to light for me and that is I became infatuated with, like some very specific things when I turned 40 and I think that was kind of like the, so the physical maturity side of me. I do not know why, but I automatically became obsessed with cocktail glasses and wine glasses. I didn't give a shit before I would go up in Dollar Tree get me a little dollar wine glass. You know I had a cabinet full of them. You know, every now and then I go like to TJ Maxx, home Goods, stuff like that, some of my favorite stores. You know I go pick up cocktail glasses. When I seen them and I liked them. But I became real particular about my wine glasses and my cocktail glasses, to the point that I had to buy a wine bar to be able to house this stuff. Like I just truly became infatuated and it's not even like my drinking habits even changed infatuated and it's not even like my drinking habits even changed. So I don't know why that became a thing, but it did, and it made me feel real classy, you know real chic, like I was that girl with the wine and the cocktail glasses.

Speaker 1:

I also started loving tea mugs. Now I've been a tea drinker for a good little while now and I probably had like one or two mugs that I was cool with, you know, and that was it. But I became infatuated with tea mugs. I just had to have more of them. That like spoke to some part of me. So not just know any tea mug, but it had to have a certain saying or maybe it looked a certain way and it just like spoke to my soul. So I started getting more tea mugs. But then I also started wanting to sleep in satin nightwear.

Speaker 1:

Now, some of y'all y'all might already be too grown for me. You've probably been doing this for a while, whether you're younger than me, older me, whatever this thing hit for me until the age of 40. Yes, there would have been a time in a relationship you know a little lingerie here, trying to get a little sexy and stuff like that. But at some point you come to learn that most of these men don't even give a shit about all that extra stuff, like putting all that money in these lace lingeries and you know all this other extra stuff, like you get them a big tee that has easy access and they are good, but not only because I was thinking about a man, but that was like my comfort zone, right. So I have pajamas, because you know I travel for work and things like that. So you know I have certain pajamas that fit certain criteria or like when it's that time of the month, you know it is a certain level of comfort that I won't have.

Speaker 1:

But when I turned 40 it was like, oh no, sis, we gotta have satin everything. So not only do we gotta have like a satin pillow case because we want to make sure that the skin is skinny. You know we don't that cotton and stuff y'all. If you don't have it, get you some satin pillowcases, because the cotton and polyester and all those other things in your, in your sheets and your pillowcases can do numbers on your skin. So get you some satin or some silk, whatever, whatever your preference is. But anyway, the satin went beyond the pillowcases for me and I started wanting to buy every pajama set, nightgown, whatever. It had to be satin and I don't know why. My relationship was already well established, so it's not like he was looking for a change in it. And I mean, technically, he's the only person see me when I go to bed at night, so why does it really matter? But yeah, I just started buying a boatload of sack nightwear and I don't know why, and I still do so. These like all became my favorite things when I turned 40. But that was just the physical side of things.

Speaker 1:

Something that became really important to me and I swear as I age in this, in my years of 40-ism is connections. I am I thought I was really intentional before about the relationships that I build with people or the connections that I have. It's real different now. I am very particular. I am extra particular about the type of connections that I'm trying to build. And when I say this, this is not so much on a personal level, because my good Judas or my good Judas, I mean we locked in, like for life, but on a professional level and especially as a business owner. As a business owner and then also a leader, like in corporate America. Even being a leader in corporate America, I never really cared in the network. I won't lie to you, that's the extroverted, introvert side of me is that I can get in a room where you think I'm a whole extrovert because, baby, I can transform and do what I need to do from a professional side of things. But my preference is to always be an introvert. So I love my little small circle. I don't need anything outside of that. I'm good. But something has changed in the professional side and I really started to like really wanting to expand my network. The resources have always been there. I just have never really taken to them like that. But now, as I'm aging gracefully in these years of 40, I'm starting to want to have those connections.

Speaker 1:

From a network perspective, I'm branching out. I'm doing things that I probably would have never done before. I recently joined a very, very established women empowerment group for Black women here in the Atlanta area. They're known as Black Girl Social Club Amazing, they do some amazing stuff and they have like 75 chapters all over the world, international and here in the US. But this is not necessarily something that I would have chosen before, because I not that I didn't see a benefit, but I just like being, in my being, a little hermit, you know, whatever you want to call it. But now I'm branching out. I'm going to events. That requires me to network with others.

Speaker 1:

I'm being more vocal. Even when I'm out in a place and you know you just spark up a random conversation with a stranger, typically before I'd be like, hey, how you doing? And I keep pushing. But now you know I'm I'm starting to like, build those connections. I'm starting to talk about you know what do I do for a living. I'm being more verbal and vocal about my business because that that wasn't a strong suit of mine before either, just because, once again, extroverted, introvert, you catch me at one of my events where I'm a vendor or something like that, and you think, oh, girl, been doing this forever. Right, she got the good talk, she got the good elevator pitch, she got all of that stuff, but it takes me a minute to get there because I'm an extroverted introvert. So even my connections, now again it's starting to be very intentional and there's just things that I just want to do differently. And I think my maturity and my aging gracefully has gotten me here because I've embraced these things that come with age Again, not just the number but the maturity level of things that I just want to do differently.

Speaker 1:

A big, a big thing that is letting me know that I am aging gracefully in a mature way is letting my children figure out their own lives and fighting their own battles. So I think I kind of talked about this before, in a different podcast too, and I say you know, my kids are grown, right, they're young adults. They're not grown, I mean, they're grown, but they're young adults and you know, they're starting to figure out what adulting really means and some of the things that they're experiencing and that they are going through. And long time ago I established this thing with my kids. I don't even remember where I learned it from, probably from therapy but you know, we would have conversations or they would come to me with a situation, instead of just automatically jumping into mom mode, like I used to do at one point, just giving my unsolicited opinion. You know, advice, whatever I would say, you know they have a situation. They would come and I would say, okay, well, tell me, what do you want me to do? What role do you want me to play? Do you want me to just be a listening ear or do you want me to give you advice? You know, and depending on what they say, I would oblige by it.

Speaker 1:

Now, sometimes that listening ear may turn into mama mode, because if I detect something that you, that they are saying to me that could be detrimental to them, or you know, I see something, see something that you know that's not okay, it might be dangerous or something like that, I speak up, but typically if they say it's the listening ear and they just going through something and they just want to be able to get it off the chest, I just hold the space for them to do it and I don't offer anything, even though it could be killing me. Because the mom in me really wants to chime in, I choose not to do so and that used to be a really tough battle for me before when we started to do that. But now, in this space again, aging gracefully and maturity, it's actually, it's second nature for me and that's because I come to realize, right, you know, god just used them as a vessel. These are his children. I was a vessel, I was a mother, I had a job to do and raise them in the best way that I knew how, and then to let them go out into the world so they can continue to carry out the work and whatever purpose that they have for them, and so a lot of the things you know in their adulthood and, to be quite honest, they are young adults and, to be quite honest, they are young adults. So a lot of the things that they're experiencing right now.

Speaker 1:

I'm like that's nothing, you know, in my mind but I would never say that to them because it's their experience. But I'm just, I'm over here like, oh man, I'm so sorry you're going through that. You know I hate that for you, but you know you, you're overcome and you know that's basically it, unless they're asking for my advice or something like that, because you know, and that's basically it, unless they're asking for my advice or something like that, because that's the only way we typically learn. And so I am holding space and creating space for them to be able to do that. But I don't think, no, I'm going to say I know for a fact, without the level of maturity that I have grown into, I wouldn't have been able to do that before.

Speaker 1:

I would have still been loud and wrong, probably a, just because I'm speaking on my emotions, I'm speaking on my experiences, something like that. And when I say loud and wrong, I don't mean necessarily directly wrong, but wrong in my approach in handling it. I probably still would have been doing those things, but not so much. You know they. They are growing into adults and with the lives that you know, that they desire for themselves, and so I am just letting them be, unless they need, you know, and then I'm there. Otherwise I'm in the background, influencer in the, in the village, but when it's necessary. So these are the things that has helped me to understand you know what aging gracefully truly means, and I'm seeing it in so many areas, so many. You know some other things.

Speaker 1:

It's just not not feeling the need to speak on everything. I don't need to know other folks business. I am perfectly fine without calling somebody and sitting on the phone and gossiping. I could tell you if you want to gossip. I'm not your girl. I am not your girl, especially about people, personal lives, like no, I have zero interest in that. I'm just looking for stuff that inspires me, motivate me, and I'm looking to give the same back, right? So that's a part of me.

Speaker 1:

Just you know, back in the day I probably would have been down today. Don't call me with that that, that ain't my thing. But also, just every battle was not my understanding that I don't have to choose any and everything that feels like a battle, because sometimes it's not even worth it. And so I've gotten to the point with that, like a lot of situations where I probably would have took somebody here clean off back in the days. Not so much this day, because I am enjoying aging gracefully and I'm enjoying so many things about my physical appearance that probably would have been a problem before, because the one thing that I have come to learn is that if there's something physical about me that I don't like, I can change it, but I don't have to change it because other people don't like it or other people feel some type of way about it. No, I don't, but if I feel some type of way about it, I don't need anyone's permission to change it. I don't need anyone's permission to do it. I don't have to oblige or appease someone else's ego because of a problem that they have with me. Oh girl, ain't there we not doing that right? And so the self-discovery prompt for this week is I want you to do the same. At this point.

Speaker 1:

It really doesn't matter your age, because we know that maturity comes at different levels for different people. When you think about the previous conversation, where I explained the chakras and how they begin to develop at different ages of the life. None of the chakras says exactly that this happens at the age of nine or this happens at the age of 21. It's always a range and that's where we get the different level of maturity in people. But what I would like you to start doing is aging gracefully If you are not already doing that and embracing those things about yourself. That is a part of you. Aging gracefully, because aging is your personal evolution. It's your personal testimony to how you have evolved and how you are growing, how you are maturing, like all of those things that I would hope we all desire to do in life.

Speaker 1:

And let me tell you, if you are listening to this podcast, oh, for absolute for sure, you should embrace aging gracefully, because this podcast is not for everybody and I'm OK with that right Some people. My podcast is all about empowerment and healing and changing, and in order to do those things, you have to embrace change, right, and everybody's not there yet. So these conversations that I have could very well be aggravating the shit out of somebody because they're not ready for it. It's not because it's wrong, it's not because I offended anyone, but a lot of times you know, I said before that accountability can feel like I'm sorry. Accountability can feel like judgment, when somebody is not mature enough to use their discernment, when they're not ready to be held accountable, and that's what a lot of my conversations are.

Speaker 1:

But if you are here and you are listening to this conversation, you should most definitely be embracing aging gracefully, because that's exactly what you're doing and I'm proud of you. Start identifying those areas in your life where you see that you've grown up, where you are aging gracefully, and start to celebrate those things, no matter how big or how small, because changing is not an easy feat. Aging is not an easy feat. Most of us probably got more years behind us than we have in front of us, and so you, it's worthy of celebrating. So I would say, start to celebrate those things where you see you have glowed up in the world with ageism. It's a beautiful thing, all right.

Speaker 1:

So let's get into the last thing for this episode, which is our Reiki channel collective message. Like all things, if it resonates, let it apply, if it doesn't, let it fly, but don't let it fly too far, as these messages are also evergreen, just like our conversations, and may have future resonance with you, because best, believe as much as you love me or love hearing my voice, you are not here by happenstance in this moment in time. I don't know who this message is for, but, sweets, why are you so mad? Like I'm seeing and feeling a whole lot of rage here and it's not in a healthy way. And feeling a whole lot of rage here and it's not in a healthy way? And the thing about this rage is it is creating cloudiness for you, right? So, whatever situation that you have at hand, I will tell you that rage can be very useful, but when you embrace it in a healthy way, because embrace rage is what creates world leaders, right? Successful business owners, someone with a seat at the table who can make real change. Embrace rage creates the most perfect nurturing mothers.

Speaker 1:

So, whatever, this is this situation where you are feeling rage. The problem is you have not embraced it and it's causing some A little fog in this right. You have a situation that you are in I don't know if this is a job or a relationship that you are considering. You're trying to make a decision between two options, and the reason why I say a job or a relationship because the option is stay or go why I say a job or a relationship, because the option is stay or go, and then it may be some specific things or places where you could go or be if you decide to stay.

Speaker 1:

But the thing is, with this rage that's creating this fogginess, there's actually a third option that you are not considering. I don't know if you're not considering it because it's not the ideal option that you choose, or maybe it's not the obvious option, but I can tell you this third option comes with plenty of opportunity and bountiful abundance in the way that you desire for your life in the long term. So I will tell you again to embrace this rage so that way it clears up the fogginess for you, even taking a step back right and doing some meditating on it or whatever ritual prayers, whatever that you need to do for yourself, so you can gain the clarity that you need, because if you decide between the two options that you keep thinking through, you are going to make an impulsive decision that is truly going to lack the results that you are looking for in the end. It's truly going to lack the results that you are looking for in the end. So don't miss an opportunity that is available to you Just moving out of haste or moving out of fear, self-doubt, anxiety, whatever it is, and embrace this rage so that way you can truly use it in the way that it's intended to be for you, to serve up that energy and the motivation that you need to make the right decision.

Speaker 1:

All right, so before I wrap up this episode, I wanted to remind you about my gift box raffle giveaway. That happens on July 30th with the release of my 10th episode that we are celebrating of Her Cup Overflows, because that is definitely a milestone for this podcast, want to make sure that you know about it and you get in where you fit in, because you do not want to miss out on this gift box. And let me tell y'all I lied to y'all in last episode. You know I was talking about the things that's going to be included the custom candle, the custom pin, the cutter, the wick cutter. But I said you know I was going to put in my for my bloom season journal. Well, y'all, I got carried away in normal Capricorn fashion and I went out and just created a whole new journal exclusively for this gift box and exclusively for her cup overflows, and it's so pretty.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to do a video demo of the gift box on my social medias this Thursday. You can find me, the Spiritual Tea Company on Facebook and then I'm the Spiritual Tea Co on TikTok and IG but listen celebrating my wins. You can also Google your girl, because we have arrived. If you can't find them, you can do a simple Google. All of my socials pop up, as well as my website, a reminder on how to enter the raffle. You can send me an email to inquiry at thespiritualitycompanycom, or you can send me a text via my Buzzsprout podcast platform. It has a link there where you can send a text message. I actually just realized if you listen through Apple podcasts or any other platform, that link is also there. It's available on those sites as well.

Speaker 1:

But you can send me a text message and the whole idea is just to tell me how is Her Cup Overflows pouring into your life. The whole idea of that is to give you the overflow of all the things that I have learned in my healing journey to help you on your way through your healing journey as we do this together. So you know, just tell me. Tell me you know what's what's working for you, how, how are things you know changing in your lives? Give me those good stories, give me ideas of things that you would like to hear about in future podcasts. I can tell you I have received some so far and like y'all are the best.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I am super duper grateful for you. So make sure, if you haven't done so, that you get your entry out there. There's no point in listening to the podcast and not reaping what you sow. Right, it's a giveaway for free. Not want to miss this giveaway. All right, beautiful souls, that is it for this episode. As you continue to age gracefully, until next time, keep taking up space and refill yourself, because you can't pour shit from an empty cup. Take care you.
