  Speaker 1: be gone from the twenty third through the thirtieth. I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: am so excited about going on this cruise. It is
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a well needed cruise and it is really a way
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: for me to get away to be able to reflect
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: because January ninth, I lost my job. Okay, I lost
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: my job my regular job is a medical billing coder.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Because there was no more work and a job ended.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So now I am moving forward with my life and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: now I am building my podcast, I am building my
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: coaching business, I am building my jewelry business, motivational speaking,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: writing two books, and also doing travel agency next month.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited about that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: So I have a traveling channel that I've done and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I'm working on from the trips I did, from when
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I went to Vegas, when I went to where else
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that go for a lot of day other year before.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: For my birthday.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing for my birthday this
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: year because depends on where I'm at. I don't know
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: if I'm staying in Florida or not or going back home.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It just depends if I find a job. If I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: don't find a job, then I will not be staying here.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I'll be moving back, because you know, it's one of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the things you have to start over, so things happen.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: So let's talk.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: About that, because there are millions of you right now
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that are in the same predicament that I'm at, where
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you're tired of the rug being.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Pulled from up under you.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: You're tired of every time you're doing the right thing,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: every time you're doing right in your relationships. Every time
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you're doing right your friendship, is your family or whatever,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the rug.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Is constantly being pulled from up under you.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And I have all people can relate to this because
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it's something that I want to talk about. It's one
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of the things while I'm on the while I'm on
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the cruise, that I'm going to be reflecting on. This
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: trip is about a vacation, but it's also about a reflection.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So let me tell you what happened. I was supposed
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to go and take my iPhone. I have two iPhones,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, and I'm trying to sell one of them,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and I ended up thinking that my friend was gonna
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: take me, depending on him, and eleven hundred dollars.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Was taking up my account for that phone.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So now I have two phones too, So I don't
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: know if I'm gonna keep it and just you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: have it as an extra phone just in case something happened.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: But you know, if not, I might decide to sell it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be really hard to sell it because the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: fact that I paid full price for it, and so
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to sell it. So I might
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: decide to just keep the phone and as a backup
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: just in case, you know, something happens or whatever. So
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: because of that, I'm going on this trip with no job,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: not to cancel it. I'm still going to go. I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: still going to enjoy myself, and that's just it on
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to enjoy myself and I'm going to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: basically have a good time. I'm gonna do my insurance
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: today and that will have insurance for everything, just in
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: case am I panicking about me losing my job. No,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: because in the end, I will be focusing on writing
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the book. When I get back, I will be focusing
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: on building the courses.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: That I want to be doing.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So while I'm while I'm away, that is what I'll
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: be doing. I'll be doing some writing. I will be
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: doing some enjoying. You know, I'm gonna get up and enjoy.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But during my downtime, while we don't see I'm definitely
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: gonna be doing some writing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Because it's kind of chilly, it's kind of cold.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So I got my outfit that I'm wearing when I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: get on the boat an outfit I'm wearing when I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: get off of the boat. So I will have both
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: my outfits when I get on and off the boat,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: so I got that. I almost got everything packed for
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the most part. I got my clothes packed, shoes packed.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I just gotta pack my stuff that's going in my
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: toiletry bag and then.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That's it when they get here tomorrow.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: So once that's packed, that's it and I'll be ready
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to go. Then I'm probably gonna pack my computer, come
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: taking NA and my phone. So if I'm not using
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: my phone as far as the internet, I'll be using
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the computer. So I will have What's App. I meant
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to put it on my phone for my mom. I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: don't know why I didn't do that, and I gotta
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: tell her I'll be on a cruise. But anyway, long
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: story short, you know, i'll call my sister if I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: had to call for anything, or my best friends. She
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: has What's App. So I'm really excited about the trip.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited about the vacations that we're going. We're
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: going to Cosmail, We're going to Jamaica, I think in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Montego Bay, and then we're going to the island. So
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: really excited about this trip, really excited about because there
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: will be new places I've never been. I'm probably I'm
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: gonna do one excursion, and that's shopping probably, but the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: other ones I'm gonna stay by, probably buy the boat.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go too far because I ain't trying
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to be lost. I ain't trying to be lost. But
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the good thing is if I do the shopping thing,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I probably won't be by myself, and we'll be back
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: in time because it's through the boat, so we'll be
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: back in time. So that will be definitely a good
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: thing as far as being to do a little bit
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of shopping and then come back. So I'm always going
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to get some souvenirs or something that I see I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: might like while I'm gone. So each place I'm gonna
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: buy something, but I'm not gonna spend as much money
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: there by a thing. Because when I went on Carnival,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't spend but sixty one dollars. I was proud
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of myself. I said, ooh, I didn't spend as much
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: money as I thought I was gonna spend, So I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: did pretty good. So I was very very very very
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: proud of myself, very proud. So I did pretty good.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: But I am getting in travels insurance today. And then
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I got eighty dollars on me now, and I'm probably
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: gonna pull out maybe two hundred, so I have two
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty dollars just so I have some money.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Probably won't even use it, but it's always good to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: have money cash just in case. So you know, I'm
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: just making sure that my rent gonna be paid and
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: everything gonna be good, so that will be taken care
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of so.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: That way we can go from there.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: But and then I have some money to be able
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to pay my rent next week because they're supposed to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: come getting the boxing the day at tomorrow because I'll
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: be leaving Friday, so hopefully they'll come by before I
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: leave to come get the boxes. And if they're gonna come,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit them outside until they actually come
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to get them.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: And then I'll.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Probably have the the person helped me get them out,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: so they'll probably hopefully will be heres between today tomorrow
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: come pick the boxes up. I'm UPS because I can't
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: pick these boxes up. If not, I might have my
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: friend help me take them to the box tomorrow so
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that way I can take them to UPS to drop
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it off before I leave and then take a picture
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: showing that they have been sent off.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna take a picture showing that that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: They came and got it and that they're gone. So
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that way we'll go from there, and that way I
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: can get my money back next week, so I'll be
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: able to get my money to be able to pay
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: my rent and stuff, file for my unemployment already by
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to file my income taxes today. I'm gonna go watch
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: clothes folk do my income taxes today, have them filed
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: so I'll be able to have some money next month.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Because it's six weeks for them to do your unemployment,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: so I want to go ahead and do it now
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: so I have some money to be able to and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: sit within in six weeks. Well, sometimes it don't take
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that long, but y'all know how that goes depends on
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: how you feel. But all of this to say this,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I know some of y'all right now going through the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: same thing, and you lost your job and it's been
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: really hard for you to.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Find another job. I get it, it's hard.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And the one thing about healing and recovery is you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: don't panic anymore. Panic for what ain't nothing you can
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: do at this point, because when it comes to other people,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the one thing you learn and healing and recovery is
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: they're not you.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: They're not you.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: They're never gonna be you, they're never gonna understand, and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: they don't care. So as far as thinking that jobs
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: care about you and that they appreciate what you do,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: nine times out of ten, they don't. Honestly, they don't.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: You're just another worker. And I think about grasshopper and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the ant when I think about jobs, to be honest,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: So when it comes to the grasshopper and the ant,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that's when I think about when it comes to the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: way that society is thinking when it comes to worker bees.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And just like that one aunt that questioned everything, I'm
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: then ant that questioned everything because the way that everything
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: is going, as far as society is going, when it
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: comes down to the fact that they're trying to charge
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: women seventeen hundred dollars if they don't have kids, now
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you're getting outrageous. The fact that they're trying to force
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: people to have kids but they can't financially support them.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a walking contradiction. It's a walking destruction,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to be honest, and everything is a walking contradiction. And
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: so when you start coming to these realizations of these contradictions.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That's when you start asking questions, and now you're like,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: do I want to go down to red pill?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Do I want to go down a blue pill?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: So the red pill would be me panicking, Oh my god,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I ain't got a job.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: What am I going to do?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Or the blue pill I got stuff in here I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: can get rid of and make money off of and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: be able to pay my bills, or just puts a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: fire in my behind and start making, you know, creating
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: my own business. Sorry, y'allay cutting grass while I'm doing podcasts,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Hold on, it's like today that I decided
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to do my podcast, they decided to cut the grass.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I gotta find some noise. Some noise, I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: guess noise headphone. I just haven't set them up yet.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: But anyway, long story is short. In these situations, I
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: will say this, Panicking's not gonna get you nowhere.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Fear is not gonna get you nowhere. So I took
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: last week when I first got home, to really just.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: You know, get reacquainted to Florida because I was in
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: North Carolina for two months. And now this week I'm
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: going to getting ready to prepare for to go on
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a cruise next week. I'm gonna be on a when
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I get back. I said, you know what, when I
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: get back, it will be the week of the first
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: of February. That's when everything starts. My clean eating. Well,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: first of all, I'm gonna cleanse out my whole entire body.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna start there cleansing.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Out my whole entire body of all my toxins and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: everything like that. Then I'm gonna start getting products and stuff, well,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: groceries and stuff. I've already started because I'm about to start.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Doing clean eating now. Mind you.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I did buy some brownies and some cake. Why because
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: every once in a while I want some sweet.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Not all the time, but.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while. My goal is to lose
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: twenty pounds before summer. My goal is to get down
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: to one hundred and eighty pounds.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: That's my goal.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: When I came back from North Carolina, I gained six pounds.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: That was it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of myself six pounds because I was two
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: oh one before I left, and I only gained six
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: pounds the whole entire time I was there. So I'm
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: proud of myself that I didn't gain twenty pounds only
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: gain six pounds. So now I'm back, and since i've
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: been back, I've been getting back on my normal what
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I normally eat. So the first thing that I said
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: is it's not going to be a thirty day challenge.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be a challenge. I'm going to do
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the rest of my life, but I'm going to do
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a thirty day preparation.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And this is what I mean by that.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Thirty day preparation means that whatever I'm getting ready to do,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to test it out and see if it works.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: And that's what I did last year.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So instead of saying a thirty day night fasting or
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: thirty day diet or anything like that, it was a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: thirty day preparation.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So these past six years from twenty twenty one, well
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: One to twenty twenty six has been a journey of
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: what can I eat?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: What can I not eat?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Really trying to figure out these things happening, why is
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: all that is happening, and really discovering how to go
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: about holistic healing, holistic eating, clean eating, mentally being healthy,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: finding my tranquility, learning to love myself, realizing what I
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: was good at learning to be a solo traveler, writing,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: writing without stopping. So really it was about overcoming all
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: of the things that were standing in my way and
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: breaking a lot of chains, breaking a lot of bondage,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: breaking out of the cage. Okay, that was the first
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: thing I had to do. I had to work with
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: myself spiritually. I had to come to God and say,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm tired. I don't want to do
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: this negativity no more. It don't work for me. I'm
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: doing something wrong. Lord, help me figure out what it
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: is that I'm doing wrong.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Lord, I'm gonna let you gode my life. Lord, I'm
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: gonna let you pick my husband. Lord, I'm gonna let
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you do this. So I don't get on. I don't
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: pray anymore and say exactly In other words, I don't
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: pray and say exactly what I won't because God knows
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: my heart, because I.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Learned a minute I do.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: The devil gonna bring me something and it ain't gonna
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: be what I want. So now I just say, God,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you've seen my challenges, You've seen what I went through.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I do want to be successful, but.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I want you to guide me in what direction that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: success is gonna be the unknown. I have no idea
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: what God got in store for me because I don't know.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: But God has seen every single struggle, every single thing
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: that I've been through, and I'm just like, look, regardless
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of what I do, I'm gonna need you to show
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: me and guide me through this before I do anything.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I won't God to show me the pros and cons
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: of it all and say, if you do this, this
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: is how things gonna be. And whether or not I decide,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: we'll be based upon that. The person that's gonna be
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: my husband or my boyfriend or whoever, is based upon
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: who God feels is my person, based on knowing me, okay,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: knowing my struggles, knowing I've been through, the men that
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I've dated prior. I'm gonna let God choose that for
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: me when it comes to whatever this happens in this situation,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I'm let God choose it. But that don't mean that
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do the work. It does not mean
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that I'm not gonna build something. It just means that
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: whatever God sees me do, based on what God sees
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: me do, God is gonna determine based upon that. So
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: if God sees okay, I'm still doing the same thing,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and God like, look, I'm not gonna help you till
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you start getting up showing me that you're serious about
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you want change. So it's not just about me saying
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and praying every day about all my troubles. It's about Lord,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: these are the things that I'm doing to correct it.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: But then again, I don't have to excuse me say
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: anything at this point because God sees what I'm doing.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: And what I've been doing is learning what I've been doing.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Like yesterday, I was supposed to go watch clothes, but
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I was in so much pain I just couldn't do it,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and so I laid down and I did nothing. Why
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: because I was in pain. But then later on I
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: don't know what happened, but I was able to get
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: downstairs and trash downstairs. So little about little, I'm getting there,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: but I'm taking you know, steps. So I always say,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: in January is more preparation for how the rest of
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: your year.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Is gonna go. So take the time to start prepping.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: You know, there's no guarantee when it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Comes to people and pull the ruck from under you
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: at any time. So instead of you wait for somebody
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to pull the ruck from up under. You start building
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: something up your own, then like TikTok is about to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: go bye bye. In matter of fact, tomorrow tomorrow, TikTok
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: will be going tomorrow. It's going black tomorrow. Why because
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the United States is taking over TikTok. And if you
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: don't tell people where to find you at and start
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: getting yourself prepared for that, you.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Are about to be screwed. Because that's what I'm about
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: As far as my YouTube channel and everything less review
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and recap for my country waying skits and also for
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: my other channels, like I have a channel called Being
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Led to the Slaughter, and then I have another YouTube
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: channel that is perfectly Imperfection, and then I have one
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that's from Darkness to Light, and then I have another
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: one and that I oh yeah, a happy and healthier
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: healing and recovery. And then I have another one that's
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: where all of my interviews and all of my conversations
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: on my podcast go on.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: And I have not I gotta post that one.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: But you know, I also have a Facebook channel where
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I talk about the Counjway and skits which is opening
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Pandora's Box. I also have my you know health and
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: wellness channel, but I can't connect any of my stream
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: yards to it, and it takes forever for them to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: do it. So I decided I'm gonna do I decided
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: those channels. I don't know if I'm keeping or not,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: but there is a travel channel that I posted all
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: my stuff too, so I'm not gonna get rid of
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: that channel because I already have it. But Facebook did
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: something to where it's not public anymore.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what they did.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I can either city here and pain or
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I can say to myself, you know what, let me
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: go ahead and invest one hundred ninety nine dollars, start
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: prepping for my travel agency, and start making money.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: So that's what I'm gonna do when I get back.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna let this short situation destroy everything
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that I'm trying to build. So when I come back
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: out of the world now, I am well aware that
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: when I walk out the door, there's no guarantee of nothing,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: so I'm not looking at anything as a guarantee. I
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: just look at whatever's meant for me that I will
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: either find it or it will find me, meaning that
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not looking for it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: But somehow, some way it will find me.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I learned that if you stop looking for things and
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: stop expecting things, and you leave well enough alone, everything
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that it is supposed to be will be. So I
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: have no expectations, no nothing, But I do have non negotiables.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I do have standards.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: There's a difference now when you have standards and non negotiables.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: These are things that when it comes to your health
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and wellness, when it comes to your spiritual, your mental, psychological,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: your emotional, your family, these are boundaries that in no way, shape,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: from or fashion, you're gonna allow anybody to cross none.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: So when it comes down to these non negotiables, these
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: are things that.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: There's no negotiating it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: You stand on it and you're serious about it, and
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: whoever come in your life either got.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Accept it or not.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: There's no more chasing behind somebody trying to get somebody
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to love life, appreciate value, any of that.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: It's just like, okay, you know it is really what
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Like. I'm about to get it up after I do
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: this live, this video, well, this podcast, and then I'm
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: gonna go and put my dishes in the dishwasher and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: wash my dishes and make breakfast, I have a conversation.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I gotta do a twelve thirty. I have a twelve thirty.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm probably and more than lightly before twelve thirty. I
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: probably will take some clothes downstairs because I got to
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: wash some clothes and go wash clothes, go get stuff
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: out the mailbox, and go get the stuff out the mailbox.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I got some stuff coming from Amazon. I thought I
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: was gonna have my wigs by the time I got
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: on vacation.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: So I may have to order some wraps, which I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: thank god I did, so that would be good when
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I go on vacation. And I'm not gonna be getting
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: in the water where I gotta worry about my hair
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: being with so that won't be an issue. So yeah,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: even though I will not have my actual things, I
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: do have my actual wraps.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: One is white, one is black.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I'm taking both of them on the boat, so I
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: would have something like a wrap to wear around my
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: head because you know, I want to have something around
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: my head. So and I do have one wig that
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I can wear that I'm probably gonna carry with me
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: if I go, you know, out to eat or whatever.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: But going out I have my wraps, so I'm good
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: on neck and those. I don't have to worry about
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: those because they won't be getting wet like that. And
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: because I'm going to be on my own and let
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: somebody is nice enough to take pictures, I'm pretty much
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: gonna have to just take, you know, some pictures before
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I leave. But in the end, like I said, I'm
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: gonna have a great time on vacation.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: But don't let.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: What's going on with you destroy you just got to
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: keep on moving because again, somehow, some way, somebody pulled
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the rug from up under you. And they did That's
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: how you got in this predicament, not only that you
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: might have pulled the rug from up under yourself. So again,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: nothing is guaranteed when it comes to other people.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: It just ain't.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: So you can't just sit there and think that because
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: you're with somebody that the rug won't be pulled from
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: up under you. You're not gonna be tested, or there
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: won't be any crucifixions, or there won't be any type
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: of judgment or stuff like that. There's gonna always be
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: something because when it come to people, they're unpredictable. And
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: when it come to freedom of choice and free will.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: That is one thing you cannot take away somebody's freemon
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: choice and free will.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: You just can't.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: And the fact that a lot of people are alluring
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: themselves because they want to be loved so bad. And
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, love is a beauty, but you
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have to go through all these hoops and bounds
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: to go get it. You shouldn't have to do all
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: of these things to prove that your loyalty is somebody.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to do that. But at the same time,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: It's fifty to fifty. You give what you what somebody gives.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: You do for others what they do for you.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: And if this person is not your person, then that's
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: okay that they're not your person. It's okay that y'all
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: are not meant to be. It's quite okay. So in
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the end, like I said, you know, live your life
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and just understand this till shall pass.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: You.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: If you're working hard to get through your situation and
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: you working hard to bounce back from it, then you
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: will bounce back from it. But understand that as long
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: as you're dealing with people, as long as other people
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: have your fates in their hands. They can do with
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you as they will. Don't let that be. Don't let
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: it be where. Okay, you get this job, and yeah
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: you got a job, Thank god you got one. But
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: understand nothing is guaranteed. The rug can be pulled from
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: up under you in any time. That's why you don't
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: give up your safety net. That's why you don't spend
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: a bunch of money. That's why you stack up your
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: money just in case you have a rainy day, because.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: You never know what may or may not happen.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: So I just want people to understand that, Okay, yes,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: if you get through the situation, it is absolutely great,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: but understand that at any time you can always go back.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: People will always try to pull you back. They will
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: always try to pull you from under I have seen
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: people that I know that came out of being homeless,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: ended up homeless again, came out of being homeless, ended
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: up homeless again. Why Because as soon as they felt
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: like they got safe, they started getting they started getting comfortable.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: And in this society, comfortability is not something that is
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: a luxury.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Is a luxury, to be honest. Stability is a luxury.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: It is not a requirement because at any time somebody can.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Pull the rug from up under you and you don't.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Even see it coming because, like I said, a lot
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: of these people will say to you, oh, this job
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: is temporary to permanent, this job is whatever. But then
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: after a while, it's like, well wait a minute, now
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: they tell you, oh, your services are no longer needed.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: So you're basically there to serve a purpose. And then
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: by the time you turn my age fifty one years old,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: you've been through so many jobs that you you can't
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: even retire. So yeah, it's not about retiring them. They
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: don't want you to retire. That's why while you work
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: in these jobs, you build something, whether it be write
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: a book, whether it be courses, whether it's whatever.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Start building something.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And that's why I thank god I have my podcast
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: because like I said, without it, I don't even know
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: what I would do, to be honest. So at the end,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: like I said, you know, when TikTok is gone, a
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: lot of these content creators are gonna try to go
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: over there to do YouTube and they ain't gonna be
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: ready for that.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: They gonna go to Facebook.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Cause again, that's what all of this is about, Megan,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: is so people have to go back to Facebook, go
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: back to YouTube, cause right now YouTube, yes there are
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: people still doing videos over there, but now it's a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: whole lot more cleaner.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: It's not all of.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: These YouTube beats because everybody over there on TikTok right now.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: But when TikTok is gon for the temporary time that
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be gone or how they're gonna do it,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be rushing over to.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: YouTube try and do YouTube commentary.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: So again, like I said, you know, YouTube is slowly
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: coming back to what it was when it come to
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: being podcasting, when it come down to doing doing content,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: whether it's travel content, whatever it is. So all them
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: YouTube beafs are not there because the fact of the
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: matter that it's not even being shown anymore.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: So things are not the way they used to be.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: But when TikTok go black for the amount of time
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of it go black, if it does, or if they're
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: gonna keep us on this app, but from what I understand,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: it's gonna go black, and to the new TikTok is
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: completed because they just now signed the deal, so the
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: new algorithm hasn't even been creating yet, so there's no
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: telling how TikTok.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Is gonna be whatever.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: So they may say we're gonna keep y'all on until
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: it's completed and then transfer everybody over. So they just
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: can't just sign a deal. There's no new algorithm and
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: it's not and the and the new app is not
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: ready yet, which I don't understand why they did this,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and Tom Bidy is gonna go black and on the
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: twenty second, I don't think that's gonna happen because the.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: New app is not created yet.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: So until they create the new app, the new American app,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: and the new American app is just gonna be American,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to see anything else. So
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: if you don't get all your stuff from TikTok, now.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: You're gonna be screwed. You're gonna be screwed.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: And for those that are gonna be going on TikTok
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and think, I mean going this new TikTok and think
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: that it's gonna be like it was before, Nope, you'll
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: be getting a ten ninety five form because they're gonna
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: say that you basically made money off TikTok. They gonna
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: do the same thing they do with PayPal and cash
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: up where you will be getting a ten ninety five form.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Any money that you make is gonna be.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Taxed today light side of they are about to start
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: taxing content creators and it's coming. So the only reason
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: they can't really get a lot of people on YouTube
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: cause a lot of people on YouTube are not trying
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: to be monetarized and they are getting cash apps in paypals.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: The only thing they can tax is whatever money you
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: make off your what is it super chats or whatever
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: that is. But yeah, that's that's what's getting ready to
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: happen when it comes to this situation. But I'm definitely
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about that today on opening Pandora's Box, about
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: the new tiktoks and stuff like that.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: What's gonna happen with that.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: But people better get ready because a lot of stuff
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: is getting ready to pop off and it's not gonna be.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Pretty at all. It just ain't. So, like I.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Said, with everything that's going on right now, sometimes stuff
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: like this has to happen in order for there to
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: be changed, in order for people to see things for
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: what they are and not what they want it to be.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: So you know, that's why I say all of this
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: age of Aquarius. Age of Aquarius was the age of deception.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: This is not the age of queris no more. But
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: everybody can't accept it.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: They just can't.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: So, like I said, you know, you gotta be able
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: to not go down the red pill at this point
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: and just remain in the blue pill, because that's the
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: only way you're gonna have peace. Because if you go
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: down there red pill, you ain't gonna have nothing but
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: chaos and destruction. You're gonna have nothing but a bunch
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: of trauma and a bunch of god secking fears and
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of other stuff that you just gonna
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, why did I go back
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: down this rabbit hole? Stop chasing the rabbit down the
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: rabbit hole. And I think for a lot of people,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: they are no longer chasing the rabbits down the rabbit hole.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: In other words, society standards. They're no longer wanting to
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: be a part of society standards. And now society is
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: mad because people don't want to have kids, and because
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: now people are basically having streams of income, so now
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: they're trying to cut.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: All of that. So you have to go get back
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: and work a regular nine to five job.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: They're saying this for the longest, but a lot of
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: people just didn't believe me when I said this.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: But again, this is about workers.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: But if you go back and watch The Grasshopper and
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: the Ant, then you will understand why I saying what
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. If you've ever not read that story, please
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: go read that childhood story, and please go watch the
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: movie Ants, because if you go watch the movie Ants,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: then you will understand what we are in right now
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: and why all of this is happening. Cause it ain't
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: nothing but a bunch of grasshoppers and a bunch of
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: ants pretty much. But anyway, that's it for me for today.
• 34:47

• 34:50
