Hi, It has been an honor and great adventure to spend time with this vocal diary and post it vulnerably for the world to hear. It feels like it is time for me though to process through other creative outlets. This outlet has been a huge blessing and I hope it was somewhat inspirational to you as it was to me. The next episode will include three more topics and some more heartfelt thoughts. I will not say it is the final as I am unsure at the moment, though I will no longer post on a weekly basis after episode 54.

Wow this year is FLYING by! (Smirk) If you are sensitive to current events in the United States, I share my Georgia senate runoff story which runs from 1:26 to 4:43. Other than political vortexes, I guess there is a polar vortex coming to Georgia soon so standby for how it goes. New things with me... I have an inhaler now, but hopefully won't need to use it ever. I have a desk job where I joyfully utilize my computer and communication skills. Lastly, I end with a visual scale of God with a message, from 17:32 to 18:48.

Make sure to use coupon code GQT15% Stay tuned for an update :p There are deep levels of vulnerability in here which include tears and the Lord. Just a reminder of how a journal or diary is an unfiltered log of your thoughts, this podcast is for the most part similar (I do not plan when to go deep, it just happens.) 6:53 is where the emotional trajectory begins yet does not really hit until topic 2. Which then goes into the story of when I had a stroke. Tears start flowing lightly at 10:26 and come full force at 11:33!

17 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!! I said I was entering Narnia as somewhat of a joke, but Riley is entering her dormant stage for the fall and winter!

Yo, Here is the Instagram link to my lion drawing: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ihmvbBchI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Thanks for being here. Within 24 hours, my relationship with Riley (my fern) came up in conversation three different times. So, I might as well tell you too… We've gone through a lot between toxicity, control, smothering, distance, silence, brokenness, new environments, and most recently realizing how she thrives when I take care of my mental health

Greetins! There is a slight weight to this episode, but I would be lying if I said life were perfect all the time. Fall, election, Halloween, seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D), pandemic, etc. Thanks for making it this far

Hi! 59 days until Christmas

Thanks for tuning in this week! Wow, sometimes things DO get difficult. As we know, it will be ok and you are your own worst critic. Shoutout to one of my favorite countries and my friend (you know who you are) for teaching me this phrase I will never forget… “Ne jemi ndryshe” which is Albanian for “We are different.” Twice I mention the book of Genesis from the Bible, the second time I read a scripture from it. Topics start at 7:23! "To when summer gets really hot" "To when I loved Disney Channel" "To when I realized I'm different than everybody" Genesis 2:18 (16:08 – 16:18) DISCLOSURE: GOING ON TANGENTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE INVOLVED; THIS SHOW IS CONVERSATIONALLY TRUE TO HOW I SPEAK.

Hey there

Here's the promised picture of Riley, I layered Sphagnum Moss on her soil and sprayed her down with insecticide… https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-7oQRD4vi/ Shoutout to India for listening the most in the last 2 weeks! Thank you everyone else too… The United States, Bangladesh, and Norway even! Thank you thank you thank you

Hi! This might have the most focused yet tangential intro, but I am super proud of the transition out of it! This episode is a little on the “real talk about the valleys in life” side with some injected funnies. Topics one and two lead up to three which is the big kahuna (12:16 – 15:20.) We ALL go through hard times. I even read one of my favorite comfort passages of scripture to you. On a side note… I gave my website a makeover! http://www.johnmichaelcollins.com (www.johnmichaelcollins.com) Thanks for being awesome

Don't be misled by the episode titles. Well, mmmm, yeah. The titles are a naturally accurate depiction of something on my mind, which I'm sure you've figured out by now. Hurricane Sally made her way inland and Riley and I made it through, she did lose a few more fronds though. I think she's gone through 15-20 since January? Atlanta is nice and I've visited 7 mail courier locations so far! In regard to this episode... The second topic may be sensitive to some. King Solomon is a guy from Biblical times and I share my conversion story from a slightly different angle, including a reading from Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14. "To when I learned a ton about investing" "To when I identify with King Solomon" 2nd topic: 14:03-18:45 Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14 (16:39-17:01) DISCLOSURE: GOING ON TANGENTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE INVOLVED; THIS SHOW IS CONVERSATIONALLY TRUE TO HOW I SPEAK.

It has been quite a nerve-racking and hard, but exciting journey. 25 episodes in and wow have I learned a bunch! If you are just tuning in, this is your first time, or are somewhere in between… I want to extend a warm thank you. Thanks also to the internet for allowing me to post these.

Hello again :) Riley and I made it! Including backtracks we logged 3141 miles between Seattle and Atlanta. I am grateful for good friends who let you sleep in their home, eat their food, drink their water, use their wifis, watch their Netflix, pet their dog, etc. It's been a rough week trying to micromanage finding a place to stay but I found one! Somehow finding the time to edit hadn't been a huge issue on the road. GQT goes through transitions every week, like all of us, but I hope you find one or two things here.
