Well, a couple things that I wanna say right off the get. But with that specifically, that's a a big testament to you because because you've been very intentional with how we travel. Yeah.

Clint - Mic: You'll get the weekly action steps and new tools we've tested ourselves. Let's get back to the episode. Elevated Life: Think got a spam call. We're recording on our phones. It knocked us all out of whack. So we're transitioning from talking about our corks and how it's okay to be human. It's a human experience. We're all weird. Normal. Maybe it's the word normal that I need at eighty six and not the word weird. Maybe both of them need to go. Yeah. All right. We have to come up with some word that melds normal and weird. Yeah. I guess, you know. So that's about that. I have a whole suitcase. I have to pack watching this on YouTube. You're gonna notice the different background because obviously we're in a motel. But our fancy setup for today is literally our phones are on my suitcase propped up against our Stanley coffee thermos, plants on a towel. It this is high tech. And that was the other thing that I wanted to mention, right? We're normal. We're all ormal. ⁓ no, that doesn't flow. Anyway, now we're gonna talk about this process of letting go that we are still journeying through, right? Or in the middle of. And it really is come to my awareness. You know, you guys know we're going through all of our stuff. And of course, I have a lot of stuff. Is everything okay? Now you're touching your phone. Everything's good. The the beginning, if you're watching on YouTube, we're using we don't have obviously our regular microphones, so we're using our lapel lav mics. And mine doesn't work with my shirt, so I just pinned it to my beard. Yeah. I actually I talk with my hands a lot and it would be all over the place and cheerleader Clint who talks with his hands. Yeah, it's funny because we were chatting last night. ⁓ making me nervous. I don't want to tip your phone over though. Well then stop touching it. Stop. Okay. Are you feeling better now? I feel great. It's it's about you right now. Are you good, sir? It was just tippy. It looked like it was gonna tip over. Okay. Good. Okay. Sorry. So no, you're fine. ⁓ you're human. That means you're weird. So Nord. Did you hear me say that? Nord? Nord? Normal and weird. ⁓ I like that. Nord? Nord. Okay, so now when everything's either normal or weird, we're just gonna say Nord. Before we fall asleep, I asked Clint, what are five quirks about yourself? Because I've been really thinking, and I've mentioned this in a earlier podcast, how we're all kind of on the spectrum. Like we all have a little bit of ADHD, we all have a little tism. Now there's some people, of course, that are, you know, I'm not trying to diagnose anyone, but everyone is this new word or this old word that I want to get out of my vocabulary. Kind of a fun word. That was one of my quirks. Yeah. Make up weird words. He does make up weird words. We didn't even talk about that. Okay. Anyway, sorry. Dial it back in. Yeah. I think. ⁓ maybe that's just the way this podcast is going. I'm not trying to control things. Yeah. Letting go. So we've been trying to find shipping company, which here's what I'm gonna say to anyone who has a shipping company that may be listening or dealing with shipping companies. Everyone is kind of weird. The reason why I want to get it out of my vocabulary is because I it just isn't real. I feel like normal is weird. Like everything is weird. And there's no there is no normal. Like, so you understand what I'm saying? Yeah, I do. And I think it's part of the opening your eyes. I have now decided that they are more like a slimy used car salesman because, you know, you get these quotes, and if you don't read through exactly what they're saying, and I'm so grateful that Clint has taken this on because we have gone back and forth with first of all, we're quoted that we have 10 feet by 8 feet by 8 feet. Then when it comes back, the math is like new math. The things, you know, I I don't know that everybody would understand what you're saying, because it does feel to a certain subset of the population that there is a normal and a weird. Sure. Right. But once you start seeing, ⁓ no, those things kind of all live together. And then, you know, it's just like we've talked about, you know, like the purple Subaru, you never see them until you buy one, and then all of a sudden And it's wrong. Then they're like, ⁓ send us, you know, all of the things that you're taking, furniture pieces. And they left off like six things. And then when we call them out on it, they're like, ⁓ no, we got it. But see, we're documenting all of this so that when, you know, they they quote us a price and then we take our stuff there or they come pick it up. This is how they make extra money. ⁓ we didn't have it that you had this. They're everywhere. Once you start seeing that, ⁓ no, weird and normal are the same thing, essentially, and you can't unsee it, then it's everywhere. Then nothing feels normal, nothing feels weird because everything is just that. I just don't like in terms of like labeling people is weird, that's my issue. Because I feel like every human is weird. We're all weird. silver chest and this you know, these things and us just saying, well, no, we sent it right here. So we're trying to make sure everything's documented. This has just been like mind numbing for two days. It it really has. Seven thousand emails sent. Literally. It just doesn't make any sense to me. And and I mean it's kind of just reiterating what you were just saying. But And so anyway, with that said, we were talking last night about our quirks. And one of my kind of quirks is I do not like staying in hotels. I don't. They are sterile. You can't ⁓ most of the time you can't open the window or you can only open it like a little bit. And I have to have some kind of contact with the outside. you know, like the fiftieth email in back and forth. And we did, for those of you who are just yelling at us right now, just frickin' call ⁓ Yeah. Yeah. John did. 'Cause I'm a caller. Yeah. Right. I'm like, I'm done with the email. These motherfuckers don't know what they're talking about. I need to hear exactly ⁓ dimensions of the space that I have. Why is that so hard to get movers? Like you have this amount of space for this amount of dollars. Is that even a thing anymore? At all times. Now that doesn't mean I always have to have a window or a door open, but I have to have ⁓ poorly built buildings where airflow can come through. Honestly, some kind of natural air light. I have to be able to see the outside, or I get kind of anxious, like anxiety, like I feel closed in. And so the reason why I prefer motels is because. Yeah, it doesn't seem like it because the guy said, okay, you have this amount of space. And so then we we even packed all of our stuff. We have one shed, we call it the tiny house. We talked about it some, but it's just a it's like a 12 by 15 shed. Tiny house. Yeah. And so we taped it off in eight by ten. And it happens to be right about eight feet tall inside. And so we're like, okay, this is our area. Yep. Let's pack. I know you can't see this and I keep pointing over to it. ⁓ there's a window that I can open and there's a fresh breeze and there's trees right here. And then when I open up the front door, it's right into a parking lot, right? Or stairways or whatever. It's not I'm opening it up to some sterile hallway that has no fresh air, that's dimly lit, and I feel like I'm in the shining every time. All of everything that we want to take, ⁓ that's non-box, so any piece of furniture fit in that area, and you could kind of get a visual, and then we knew okay, we've got about the this many boxes. So this is you know 18 rounds in after John's call, and then so then we've got this visualized and taken pictures of it, sent a bunch of pictures and sent that back to the guy, and it took up Like I don't care what kind of carpet the hotel ha or yeah, hotel has. I'm just like waiting for some twins to pop out. And so anyway, that's which is why we're not moving to an apartment. Yeah, yeah, right. So that's one of my funny things. And this is really the only motel that we stay in. We're in Hood River heading to Oregon to spend the weekend in Oregon. You know, probably about half of the ten by eight by ten space the furniture without any of the boxes. Yep. So it seems like when you add in the boxes, it's gonna be you know about eight by ten. And so we're like, okay. ⁓ then he took his inventory off of that, sent us a quote in the fine print in the quote, it's three hundred and sixty-three cubic feet or something. Right. For those of you mathematicians. ⁓ but normally we stay in hotels and I have to really mentally gear my especially the elevators, not an elevator fan at all. Well, I'm with you there. Yeah. Like the thought of being trapped in an elevator, which is why I constantly huff water around. I just I don't even know what I do. I'd like I don't even like sharing elevators with people for that reason. Like if 10 by 8 by 8 is 640 cubic feet. Yeah. And so I said, I went back to him, like, hey, you told us we have six hundred and forty cubic feet, but you're you're quoting at 363. Yeah. So what happens even if everything on the list is everything we pack? What happens if it's more than that 363 square feet or cubic feet? Like, well, it's $20 a cubic foot. if there's a lot of people in there, I'm just thinking, ⁓ my goodness, how are we going to get a I I don't even want to think about it. It makes me like Well let's move on then. Yeah. So one of your corks ⁓ What was one that I can't even remember ⁓ now. I can't remember your own corks. No, what did we say? There were a couple that were kind of funny. Do you remember? Extra. And the other thing that was astonishing to me is we have dressers in there, and his measurements on the dressers was like two feet by three feet. Yeah. And I'm like, dude, do you not see the scale here? And Clint even said, like, this dresser takes up a huge part, blah, blah, blah. Okay. So all that being said, I this is just ridiculous. And I'm all done working with people who don't do their job. ⁓ Clint likes to explain what he's going to say 50 times through before he actually gets to the main point. So he prefaces and he prefaces and he prefaces. And it's this long diatribe to get like to I like blue. It's just like and it used to like drive me crazy. And in my head, I would think. Who or who are shady. They're just I I'm like, why is everyone so freaking shady? And we are Clint, not me, is very detailed. So he's reading all of the things that we're signing in detail. And and I'm so grateful for that because I would have like, ⁓ homeboy told me on the phone because I'm just a dummy. ⁓ he told me. You could probably have used about 7,000 less words to say I like blue, but it's just part of who he is. So just as a disclaimer, ⁓ for the what's quirky about your partner game, make sure you're in a good headspace to do it. ⁓ yeah. And not, you know, not that it's going to devolve into, ⁓ I think it's quirky how you're a terrible person. Yeah. ⁓ This that's what he told me. You get eight by eight by eight. And I was like, thank you very much, sir. I'm gonna go huff everything out to the tiny house and tape it off because John is visual and I have to see it. And then come to find out in the fine print, liar, liar, pants on fucking fire. Which is really a testament to the way I like to do things, which works out great, is both email or whatever written, you know. Well, the other thing, this is part of the whole we're all weird. We're a little bit on the spectrum. Like you have to create space for people to be who they are, right? And this is part of that. So this is what I will say though, as we were going through, and I said this last night too. You know, if we if we would have had that conversation when let's say a couple months after we first got together, ⁓ I I think I would have remembered a lot more. And a phone call. Yeah. So then, you know, you can and whichever whichever way it doesn't matter. But now John has been able to talk to the guy, hear his voice, you know, communicate, ask a bunch of questions, whatever. But I also want to get it in writing. Yeah. From him. Yeah. And so and then it's just a hey, you told us on the call that we just had. Right. We have six hundred and eighty cubic feet and you're quoting us at this and basically trying to charge us double. Yeah. More of just the super little, you know, silly quirky things ⁓ about Jana. But it's it's just become that's just life now. So I don't even see it as quirky so much anymore. It's just well, I thought of one for you. I didn't think of another one for me. Right now? Yeah. Okay. Well go back. word. Just say it. Say it all. ⁓ Yeah. And and once that happens, then it's just it it's, you know, with like the movers, like, what are you gonna do? They're gonna charge us after they've got all our stuff. Yeah. It's not like you're at the point where you're like, I don't fucking care. Six million dollars, fine. Yeah, I just want this to be over. And and our moving situation is unique because we live way out in the middle of nowhere and only a certain amount of moving companies can help us. But okay, so I'm saying all this to say yesterday on the drive, I was like, Jonna has a tendency to leave cabinet doors open. So as an example, if she goes and gets us coffee, which I love the fact that she does. And I only I do it so rare because every morning I literally wake up to Clint putting my coffee right next to my bed. But on occasion, I go get the coffee. I really brought this whole story up just for you to see that. So I'm gonna we can move on. She'll get the coffee cups out of the You know what? Fuck it. I don't need to bring dressers. I don't need to bring this stuff. It really is coming from a place of lack, like limiting beliefs. I know that the universe is going to provide a dresser. And why do I feel like I need to bring old energy into my new life? That's the bigger thing. And I've been hearing that in different ways also in my life. And so it's like, the cupboard and just leave the door open. Leave the cupboard door open. And at first it was like, what, why? What I don't like, it wasn't an irritant or it didn't upset me or anything. It was just like I've never seen this before. And then what's fascinating is ⁓ when the kids come over, they do the same thing. And you know what's so funny? You know, I love when Source steps in and he's like, I just said he. And she's like, ⁓ we're gonna have a pause here and have this moving thing not go super smooth so that you can create the space and become aware of why are you bringing this old shit into your new life? You don't need it, right? I mean, none of it. I didn't realize that I did this. Now I did realize when I cook. For sure. I I have everything open. I even leave the refrigerator open because I like it all out. I want to see it all. I'm very much a visual person. So I know that I do it then. I did not know until last night that I do it like all the time. And what's funny is when the kids come home and they I know they do that because I'm like, motherfucker, so I don't want to say none of the things, but literally 95% of the things that I'm huffing over have no sentimental value. The things that have value are the pictures that we saved from the fire, you know, some of my lamps. I love my lamps. I've spent years collecting lighting because I love light. ⁓ these are things that are important. But like the the dressers, meh. And now I know. Different watching me, right? ⁓ so funny. So funny. All right. But it is, I will just say, and then we can move on. You know, it was it was very fun last night. us thinking about those types of things about ourselves and about each other, and just having a great laugh about it. Yeah. Because it's just such inconsequential stuff. I laughed so hard. It was great. It really is like a lesson in. I mean the blue chairs in the office, yes, I love them. They're great, but you know they're wayfair chairs. I know, but I still love them. I don't sure. But you know what I mean, guys? It's like, no, ⁓ this slowly peeling back the layers of letting go. Because had you told me, you know, a couple years ago, and I've said it on podcasts when we talk about the move, ⁓ no, I'm not attached to anything. ⁓ no, I'm not attached to anything. Well, motherfuckers, turns out, yes, I am. Kind of well, first of all, you have to be able to receive if you're gonna have this conversation with your partner. You're gonna have to be able to hear them and not take offense to everything. Right. Because again, let's go back to we're all weird. Yeah. Okay. Let's forget that people there's normal people. I don't even know what that is. So we're all a little weird. And so, okay, so for you, and we didn't talk about this last night, it just came to my And so I've gone through this weird layers, right? Of peeling back this. And I now I'm to the point where I'm like, we're doing a U-pack out of Spokane. We're probably gonna do one little seven by seven by seven thing. And I feel really good about that. But there was things that had to happen for me to get to that point when we were packing the other night and doing staging the tiny house because I have to see things. Clint likes to lock and double check and triple check everything. Right? Like double check that he did this. Go back and triple check that this is done. Is the car locked? I do the car locking thing. Like I'll lock like kind of how I turn off the heat. ⁓ yeah. That's how I lock doors. Chugger chugger chugger. Yeah. So anyway, that's a thing. Did you know that about yourself? ⁓ yeah. Yeah. If I can't visualize it, it is so scattered in my brain. That's another cork that we come up against all the time. All the time. I have to see things. This whole like floating out in the universe with no vision on it. I don't understand that. It is literally like Mandarin to me. I just can't even I misfire, actually. My brain, I can it misfires. So I have to I have to stage this, right? Like That's like a a borderline O C D. Sure. You know, I need to go just check the oven. Well, no, but I mean just like to put it in context. You know, because that's one of those things that like if you watch a documentary about, you know, people that that are that really suffer with O C D and crippled. There you That's the word I was, you know, like I gotta check the door thirty-six times before I can leave. I'm not quite like that. And I'm getting really worked up. Okay. I'm getting like frustrated, completely dregulated, feeling anxiety, just that whole notion. And my phone rings, and I get a phone call from my oldest friend on Maui, because she saw on Facebook that I posted that I'm moving to Kauai. Now, mind you. Right. But definitely those types of things. I I I know this is turned off. I know I did this. I'm just gonna go look three more times. Right. I know I have my wallet in my pocket. I need to check and check and check again. And then when we're driving out the driveway, I'll stop the car, check and make sure I've got my wallet. Yeah. I know I just checked it, but yeah, for sure. All right. So what's another thing about myself that She was one of the people that I messaged like months ago when we were thinking, just when we were thinking about moving to the islands. But she's not someone who's on Facebook a lot. She's she's just not. So she didn't get the message. And but she saw my post with the countdown of August 1st. And she she's a caller. She's a boomer. So, you know, she she wants to talk. She doesn't want to message back and forth. And it shows that. I disappointed out yours. So we can do that. And then we can move on because I don't know. It's kind of fun. Okay. Well, the another one that I brought up last night that makes me chuckle every time, because John is kind of an extreme person and and really like gets after stuff. And it's like, okay, if if she makes up her mind that, you know, she wants to go pull weeds, let's say, it's right now. ⁓ we do like some boomers. Yeah. Not all boomers. Yeah, we do. Yes, we do. Anyway, so Linda is her name, and she lives on the north shore of Oahu right now. They moved there from Maui because their son is a pro surfer. And anyway, we picked up boom, just like you know, last time I spoke to her was 2019, was before COVID. And so She's going and doing it for as long as it takes to get it done or whatever it may be. It's not like, okay, yeah, I need to do that. Like, nope, we're jumping in full bore. We're going. And so if it's like if we are driving and it's hot, you know, that we've or it's cold outside. And so we've got the heater going. Maybe it's like in the middle, ⁓ the fan speed, but it's cranked up to high, then and you know, it's getting warm, whatever. Then all of a sudden, There's a lot of life that has happened to me between 2019 and 2026, guys. So, you know, gave her the Reader's Digest version. It was so uplifting and so lovely because Linda is a lover. She loves people. And she, when we hung up, she said, Jonah, I love you so much. And I can't wait to pick up exactly where we left off. And It'll be like, okay, John's warm. Now it's cranking the temperature thing to low. And once it's on low, crank it six or seven more times, even though it's not going any lower than low, cranking the fan until it's turned all the way down and again a few more times. And then turning the whole system off. And I didn't know that I did this. And how I explained this to Clint last night is it's more like, It gave me this. Well, first of all, I was just like so stoked, right? I mean, because Linda was someone who I know you want to say something, but I want to say this. She was such an example to me as a mother. Sh we had kids at the same time. Emma is ⁓ my middle child is the same age as her last born, Eli. And so she helped me as a mother. Yes, I'm done. And when I'm done, I'm done. And it's not just with heat. Yeah. ⁓ that's how I am in a conversation sometimes. Like, okay, I'm done here. Bye. Bye. And I walk away. Yeah. But I'm more am like grasping at the turn it all off. I just start pushing all the buttons. So it looks like that. And then yes, when my eye sees the off button, then I'm like, ⁓ that's where it's at. But it takes me a while to see that off button. You know, I met her when I was 19. So just kind of nurtured me. And I I didn't realize that until I had moved to the mainland and thought that family was going to be the nurturing part and helped me. And they never did. And I thought, you know, now I have all these like visions of Linda just helping me, teaching me how to be a mother and and all those things. So anyway, that's where she is in my heart. But it it helped me be able to let go. Button. I'm just like spazzing out with my hands and then it's like, ⁓ boop, off. ⁓ that was easy. Times. Wouldn't that be lovely if we could do that with people? You know, that's terrible, but honestly, like, yeah, stop. ⁓ wait. ⁓ wait. Yeah. ⁓ anyway, this was super fun. One of the things that ⁓ I'm just gonna bring this up, not because I'm trying to talk about myself, but when you said Of all this stuff. And I know that sounds weird because there or Nord. Because, you know, why would just a conversation? But it helps me. I was able to like astrophysic into the future and get excited about the future and seeing Linda. And I know she live will live on a different island, but that's just like boop a 20-minute plane ride. ⁓ but it just like Jonna, you always talk about yourself as a third person. Uh-huh. I laughed so hard because it reminded me of Seinfeld. Like that was such a belly laugh. And yeah, I do. Yeah. Yeah. That's something. I'm always like talking to Jonna outwardly. Uh-huh. And Clint made a really interesting, like, what do you call it? Parallel or observation. Sure. That ⁓ that could come from my. got me so excited that all of this stuff energetically didn't matter anymore. It was like, I don't care about the bookshelf. Good, let's forget it. Right. Like, so it's been an interesting, you know, process, just like anything else. Go ahead. You have been wanting to talk for like five minutes and just went on this long diatribe. ⁓ I thought it was beautiful. ⁓ Thank you for doing that. Thanks. Thanks. Disassociation from the past, because you guys know that, you know, I I used to do that. I'm working so hard, but sometimes too, I just like to speak things out because I process a lot with words, which is why I do a podcast, right? Which is also a quirky thing about you that I really appreciate now, because I mean, there's so many things. John is like. No, I was just gonna say it it was definitely a testament to what you were talking about with just your whole being, your beyond just your countenance, just everything, you know, clearly in w what was spiraling into a negative place just with all the or and and of overwhelm and you know, all the things. Yeah. And then Nobody I've ever met before. I'm weird. Not, but ⁓ you do talk to yourself out loud a lot. Yeah. ⁓ which I really appreciate now because it helps me understand what you're thinking. Yeah. You know, like w how you're processing through we're getting this done. Okay. I'm gonna I'm gonna be in on it in just a second because you're gonna, you know, you're gonna talk about it. So that's something that I found myself doing. Just to get that random call. Yeah. You know, completely r out of the blue call. And then how you were after that call, it was like you were a different person. ⁓ really? We haven't even talked about that. ⁓ yeah. Yeah. And before before we even spoke about it, just when you when you came out of the bedroom. Yeah. You know, and into the living room, like it was you were so much brighter and more and it's actually pretty beneficial in some cases. I really like it. I think a lot of that actually has to do with trauma. But I never had anyone to talk to. Right. So I've I've been talking to myself my whole life because there was no like adult caregiver that I could talk to or say anything to other than yes, yes. Happier and just beyond just, ⁓ it was cool that I got to talk to my friend. You know, it was like a weight had been lifted. Yeah. I really felt that weight. Like it just ⁓ yeah, it was really interesting. And who would have thought that just a phone call from an old friend would help me realize that letting go of all of this old energy, which is gonna which is what my old stuff is. who would thought that just a phone call from an old friend would help me realize that go of all of this old energy, which is gonna which is what my old stuff is. ⁓ That's that's basically it. So I just learned to talk to myself. And I don't I've you know, some people who live in the normal weird reality, which I don't, ⁓ think that that's odd, maybe, or they're embarrassed by it. Not me. Nope. I'm gonna talk to myself anywhere. Like, and I see other people doing it and I'm like, hmm. And then I think, huh, that's you. That's what I Because it gave me a glimpse into the future and what is waiting for me. Because it gave me a glimpse into the future and what is waiting for me. And I I didn't know I needed that to be able to let go, but I absolutely needed that. And so ⁓ it's still gonna be a process because I had this epiphany yesterday when we were leaving to Nascot, like when we were talking about movers and blah, blah, blah. And I was just like, you know what? Fuck it. Let's just sell it. I'm sick of trying to like. ⁓ my goodness. It's just funny. It was so funny. So those are some of our like little quirks. I mean, they're we obviously have more. But yeah, ⁓ yeah, there's a little window into into how we think. So if you have quirks, let us know. ⁓ geez. Drop a comment that we're not gonna see because we're everything's so fluid. Measure a bookshelf fifteen times to get the right, you know, measurements because this guy doesn't know how to do math. I mean, even I can do that. Clint just fell on the ground. I love that. Your towel slipped because I switched my legs and I kicked the suitcase a little bit. ⁓ But anyway, yeah. So ⁓ there it goes. There I go. ⁓ you YouTube people are just getting All the good stuff. There's my hand. Who wants to read my hand? Anyway, ⁓ so yeah, it's it's a process. And so now I only have a few boxes packed, but now I'm actually going to take some time and go through those boxes and really like be bizarrely intentional. You know when you see those organization or hoarder shows where they're like, hold on to it. And ask if this is something that you're supposed to bring into your food. I think I'm gonna do that. I'm not doing that with my crystals and rocks and shells that take up an entire box because I definitely am taking those. But the other things, ⁓ why am I holding on to them? Right? Is it is it a spirit of lack? Is it trying to bring this old energy? What is it? It's this process of. really understanding that I'm s we but I'm gonna speak for myself right now are stepping into an entire new life and energetically do I really wanna bring this whatever this thing is with me into my new life so you said a word that we say a lot and I really love And it's really come into my vocabulary a lot or my my mind, my existence a lot more. ⁓ We're okay. It's just YouTube is like staring right at my knee. And they still are. ⁓ but doing those things with intentionality. Yeah. Which it it's so much deeper than you know, you might say, and we've said gonna be ruthless with with what we need to get rid of. In my mind, you know, that's just like like you said, fuck it. Just get rid of all the shit. It's all shit. I don't care. Be d be done with it. I'm cranking this thing down five hundred times because I'm done and I'm not thinking about it anymore. The intentionality though of of how you're gonna be with all of your things is it's so much more important because it really helps you connect with what you're doing. And You know, you can you can extrapolate that out into every facet of your life as far as living with intentionality. Cause sometimes intentionality means I need to get my ass in gear and I need to go do something. You know, I I I gotta move on this, I gotta go. Sometimes intentionality means let me pause for a second. Yeah. And really make sure this is what ⁓ whatever you know, whatever it might be. This is what I want to be doing right now. This is what I want to keep, what I want to purchase, you know, something I want to get involved with, whatever. So I love that idea. And turns out at that moment, from my capacity, I was. But then in interaction. With another human that caused me to pause, created more space for me to see, wait a second. And I grew in that moment. I grew in the understanding that I needed to let more things go. But I can say with certainty, when I first packed those boxes and also picking the things that we were gonna keep, I was being intentional with who I was in that moment. This is just such a testimony to every day you're literally a new person if you step into that, right? And you allow those moments to speak to you, right? Because it's not like Linda was calling me to tell me, God just told me that you're supposed to let it all go. Right. It was just a conversation, a connection, a deep, meaningful, like transparent conversation. that then inspired me and she doesn't know that she did this, but it inspired me to go, ⁓ my goodness, I am really trying to drag this stuff up into this next life. So it's a process, guys. It's a process. So now it looks like we're doing a U Pac type situation, mostly with just the totes of some things. And now that I have this new understanding and when we get back home, I'll be able to look at those things with this new, you know, understanding. And it's gonna be really interesting to see what I'm just like posting on Facebook Marketplace. Yeah. If you're local, ⁓ I'm gonna be posting next week so many things. So many things. So if you're looking for stuff, probably when you hear this, it'll be this week. ⁓ yeah. Yeah. When you hear this, it'll be this week. So anyway. And I'm not having another yard sale. No. And I say that and my spirit just was like, Don't say that, but you might. So anyway. I think we're running out of time. We are. We don't have time. Anyway. Probably run out of time on this podcast. Yeah, for sure. Good transition ending. Good job, sir. Well done. Thank you so much for listening, you guys, and just walking with us through this transition in real time. And you know, being gracious with what we're learning. And I I'm super grateful for this process. It's hard AF, just like any other time you're doing any kind of healing, letting go, I don't care what it is, it's hard. ⁓ and so I really appreciate that you guys have been so gracious in in your listening to us to do this. Bearing with us just logistically in this one and phones falling and So what's our new word? Nord? Nord. Nord. So instead of saying normal and weird, because those words just are they're archaic. Uh-huh. We're gonna say, yeah, Nord. Nord. All right, you guys. Thank you for listening. Have a Nord day.
