Show Notes:

Happy holiday. We hope you loved yourself in a very important way. Recognizing what your own needs are. #00:02:46.8#

One Sparklette gets the sunrise; one gets the sunset. #00:03:36.8#

Shitty bits of velcro… there has to be a better way. #00:05:37.9#

Change of scenery! My husband is not impromptu. He likes to work up to things. He’s like a cat. He needs his territory. #00:06:28.5#

One Sparklette was once married to a re-enactor. “At some point, you’ve just got to say… (THIS).” #00:09:46.6#

A Sparklette saboteur comes OUT. #00:10:51.8#

Demon monkey does not compromise. #00:11:25.3#

A shot in the foot! #00:12:16.9#

Bad-guy setup! #00:12:38.1#

Orange crush reward. #00:13:21.1#

Cat-like husband handled family drama llama! “Let me handle this for you.” #00:16:31.0#

Have you asked for something you need and want, then tried to take it away from the person who’s trying to give it to you? #00:17:33.2#

As a woman of a certain age… Sparkly awesome age; supergolden age. #00:18:59.9#

I’d been looking for love in all the wrong places. I wouldn’t allow myself to like the good ones! #00:19:53.3#

Familiar shit heads, being the fixer, controlling things. #00:22:05.9#

If you can recognize it and be less judgmental; you have options. #00:23:02.4#

Own your piece. You’re not a bad person, you’re just a person. #00:23:25.1#

You can’t sparkle if you’re too busy being stuck in your shit. #00:24:40.2#

We’re here to shine a light on your shadow. #00:25:05.7#

Charlie Brown and Lucy, that bitch! #00:26:46.6#

As long as you’re learning, you’re never too late. #00:28:51.0#

We want people to learn how to sparkle their own shit out: full on recovery, live and in motion. #00:30:14.4#

No sidelines! In the parade this time! #00:31:27.8#

The Sparkle Hour parade float, dancing and sparkling. #00:31:51.4#

You are worthy and deserving of good things. #00:32:36.2#
