Heading back from Los Angeles…In between traveling, taking meetings and going out for drinks there was work to do—in a sturdy chair and wooden desk at The Beverly Hills Library! I should head to libraries more often during my work day. I miss that.

Yes! Actual face IN the water. Not Face-ING the water. I did it. I had my eyes open and swam my half-lap with my face in the water. When I came up and turned my head to the right for air, I want to say the lifeguard gave me a “thumbs up”! But I had my goggles on, not my glasses. So…there was some kind of gesture. Could’ve been “This is the last time I let you use the lap lane.” LOL
Progress.
Next: Get my ears in without freaking out. We’ll see!

…and I have to remember not to do that while swimming! Yes, still conquering my fear. I’m an adult learner—and above-water (only) swimmer. BUT! I think I hit a milestone in my recent class. My instructor told me she is very proud of me. My face is now in the water. I guess that’s right. No way no how water was touching above my ear lobes before. Now with practice of my half-laps with a kickboard, I am able to exhale in the water. And I notice exhaling is like an engine—I move further in distance while exhaling!
I am up to counting to the number five as I exhale. I bet an eight-count is better. I’ll work my way up! Next goal. Then…eventually…swim on with no floatie in sight! As well as swim on with my head below the surface and… off we go!
Some cool #crypto questions have come to me, The Crypto COO. Sadie's been around long enough to know which question may be the one everyone has been wanting to ask, but doesn't. Truly. She has that power. Join us on FB by clicking here, ask any question you wish and if Sadie paws your question after our daily tummy rubs, enjoy the free tee!
Me too! Well, I was five years ago. Now I co-own a cryptocurrency firm called 3QualiTy. And I’m opening the books to tell everyone how we did it.
First, let’s get you making money. Our firm, 3QualiTy, integrates crypto and charitable giving. I launched a mini-course titled Buying Your First Million Tokens for $500 or Less. Click here for all the deets! See you inside!
Summer 2022 was the big “dive in.” I spent 12- to 16-hours a day on a TV series I’ll share closer to its air date, I managed behind-the-scenes startup activities for 3QualiTy, our new cryptocurrency-backed fintech firm, and, of course I was thrilled to produce and co-host the gem of it all, our radio/podcast series Before You Go. To even close friends who ask, “How do you do it all, Nicole?”…well, I love it. And my team on each project makes it all worthwhile. But when I do take the Exit Ramp for a breather and look at all that’s going on, I’m aware to most that my operating at top speed—especially as a Crypto COO—could seem super scary. That’ not lost on me. Yet, I do have one lifelong fear that in my 50+ years on life I have yet to fully conquer: Swimming.
It seems like I was born with a fear of water. I failed two water safety classes in childhood, bailed on the college course for students with “a fear of water,” but I was always super comfortable hanging over the side of a speed boat, or skipping ocean waves teetering off the edge of a Hobie Cat. It’s inexplicable. But it’s time for a change.
Amidst all the crazy hours, I took my first of two (or three) adult swim courses and now I get to practice solo in the lap lanes. I’m not killing it out there. I’m still trying to get past five full laps! Oh, just a note. My fear of water has not faded so fast. I swim my laps using a kickboard! I’m hoping my second round of lessons will get me floaty free!
Is there aa fear you’re ready to conquer? Somewhere life is leading you but hesitation get the best of you?
It’s now or never, I say. Let’s dive in!
Heading to the pool! Hmmmm….Which bathroom toiletries will keep me above water? LOL

AND…if very little of the previous sentence made sense to you, I designed a beginners crypto course so that everyone could join in the fun!
Buying Your First Million Tokens for $500 or Less. Has a nice ring to it, yes? Well, let’s make it a reality. Click here to join the fun!

What is LifeCrypto? We’re crypto and we fall into the category of an altcoin. You know. Those are the coins and tokens you want to get in on “early” because Bitcoin is a wee bit out of reach for most. How about purchasing the next crypto that’s getting ready to take off? If you’ve ever wondered why you never hear of these opportunities before they hit, I’m writing this for you—you’re hearing about it right now. Meet the team here at this link. And read on to hear from me, LifeCrypto’s very happy CMO!
Nicole, is this is scam?
Not at all. As always please do your own research (DYOR) and read all about us by clicking here. Our team—none of whom are taking a salary—want us all to enjoy LIFE and make a difference for those who need it.
Nicole, is this a pyramid scheme?
Not even close. You’re fully in control of your own investment, wallet and transactions. And we would never taint the reputation of The Pyramids.
Wait…didn’t something happen with LIFE and everyone’s money disappeared?
Why yes, and it was quite terrible. LIFE was an altcoin run by admins who promised those of us who believed in them that we were going to be the answer for funding charitable causes around the globe and make millions in the meantime. The admin team even did a deal with the government of the British Virgin Islands to incorporate LIFE as their digital currency as their rapid response coin in case a hurricane wiped out all other government backed currencies and exchanges. Too good to be true? Ummm…yeah. We crashed. Big time. In May 2020, LIFE closed shop with no notice, no good-bye and left me and a number of my new LIFE friends stranded--holding empty “bags.” We’re talking upwards of $200,000 of individual investments (not me, I’m a $50 every now and then investor). Personal savings were wiped. Families destroyed. It was…brutal.
There was nothing left?
Well…there was us, the LIFE community left to hobble through the rubble. It’s never pretty to witness multiple adults experiencing the five stages of grief. But we had each other. And we were true Lifers because we believed in our common good. And plus…screw us? The angriest investors in our group chat had access to home addresses. Yikes!
So now…LIFE rose from the ashes?
I would say so, yes. Never underestimate some of the smartest and successful people I’ve met in cryptocurrency believing, “We can do this ourselves.” Thus, a community token was born.
LifeCrypto is one of the most exciting projects with one of the best comeback stories in these digital times. I love LIFE. I hope you do too.
Only invest what you can afford to lose. That’s my motto. If it’s $50 or a little less, with this private sale, you’ll make out quite nicely. Are you ready to join us? Please start here and join our main Telegram channel. A warning: Sometimes the conversations can resemble a locker rom. Stay still for a while and they’ll pass (smile).
You know how I mentioned earlier that you’ll hear this from me now so please don’t miss the boat? Here is the specific Telegram channel with instructions on our Private Sale. Yes, this is the sale before the main doors are flung open. Friends, come one, come all. At these prices, you’re going to enjoy LIFE even more!
Oh, and the staking opportunities. Those who follow my stock chat know I love dividend stocks and profits from holding dividend growth stocks. I refer to “staking” as my crypto CD.
Nicole, it’s Friday the 13th—is this for real?
If this were Friday the 14th, I’d be telling you the same advice: Buy LifeCrypto now. In fact on the 14th you’d be a day late. FOMO, anyone?
Is there a risk? Always. But losing everyone’s money is not who we are. Meet the team. Choose LIFE. We’ll make it worth your while!

We’re back! Production for small indie troupes like mine and Myra’s are back in action and it’s been so much fun! Yesterday I was so happy to be on a real set—with people!
First I took a nostalgic walk along many of the places where I’ve filmed through the years—and even memorialized crew with a tree and park bench— in Manhattan. COVID it’s time to go. Then I hopped on a bus and headed to Brooklyn to the fabulous Bunker Studio to record the enchanting and very funny new radio play The Forks! by the super talented Myra Sito Velasquez. Our cast of friends and new friends was hands down the best to bring these delightful characters to life.
The play is a spot on #comedy so it was wonderful to laugh! I’m thrilled and honored to be a producer for my friend’s project and I can’t wait for all of you to once again experience Myra’s creation. Such a brilliant writer. Remarkable piece. The guys in the studio were laughing so we got a great reaction. More professional photos from our set #photographer Daryl Tillman to come. What a great way to start the week. Well done, cast—especially when we had to adhere to many COVID Compliant protocols to get here. It’s a new world, but the cast brought us back to those warm fuzzy feelings! Bravo! And Viva la Revolution!
