Episode 42. Shelly in California

In this episode, I will be talking with Shelly in California. Shelly lost her husband, Ronnie, to COVID on July 3, 2020. Shelly shares so much in this show about how she and Ronnie met and the life they were building together. Shelly and Ronnie had two dogs that were especially important to them and in this episode, if you listen you can hear one of them snoring in the background for part of the show. If you have headphones on, you'll probably hear it even more. I didn't even try to edit it out because Shelly talks about the dogs and how important they are to her now that Ronnie is gone.

After I finished editing this episode, I learned that the dog snoring in this show, Bentley, passed away. Please visit Shelly's Instagram account to see the beautiful tribute she wrote to him and her husband.
