The 100 Years Club Installment #129: HOT STUFF #1
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhat’s “HOT?”
The (online) dictionary reveals a huge array of definitions, including:
- Marked by violence of fierceness (e.g., hot temper)
- Sexy, sexually excited, or receptive
- Newly-made (e.g., hot off the press)
- Absurd or unbelievable (“That’s a hot one!”)
- Of intense or immediate interest, as in hot gossip
- Lucky or favorable, like a hot streak
- Currently popular or in demand
- Electrically energized, as in high voltage
- Illegally obtained, like hot jewels or wanted by the police (“The town was too hot for them.”)
- Fast (e.g., a hot lap around the track)
- Very bright, like hot pink (among my fave colors)
What else is hot (and cool)? Using AI to generate images like this in 10 seconds.
HOT is a hot word indeed, as it also has variations as a verb and a noun.
And HOT is also the theme for my summer series.
I’ll be writing about something hot every week. It may be a new business trend or perhaps it’ll be something a bit naughty and click-baity.
The last time I did a “series” within my blog was when I broke my ankle (“The Wild & Weird Adventures of Scooter Girl”). This one will be hotter and more upbeat.
Burn hot, stay chill!
That’s my summer mantra.
We creative types are often prone to fits of passion and have strong opinions. We may bruise easily (literally and metaphorically).
Despite the madness in today’s world, I am committed to remaining cool as a spa cucumber this summer.
We need cortisol in our bodies, but it can have detrimental effects.
How to chill:
- Plan ahead: I pre-recorded all my podcasts for the upcoming months and my social media sidekick has
already mapped out my content for June. That frees me up to enjoy more relaxation and playtime. Do at least ONE big, bold thing this summer that you’ve been putting off. - Take time for self-care. Get enough sleep and Vitamin D. If you can’t travel, do these things.
- Limit screen time.
- Say “no” to people and activities that you know will kill your vibe.
- Indulge in activities you love and hang out with people who bring you joy.

And, of course, remember to hydrate! Not only does it regulate your body temperature and waste elimination, but it also improves your brain function (including concentration and memory), sleep quality, mood, and energy levels.
So, you can be XTRA HOT (in a good way)!
Loved this, Nancy!
