  Speaker 1: I am your home, shine and Saffron, And today I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: am just going to bring some diverse conversation to the table.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Some different things have occurred this week and different things
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I've experienced, and I just want to kind of share
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it with you guys. So sit down and enjoy the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: ride if you don't mind.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And let's get down to business.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So my first topic of conversation is I went to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: an arts festival this past weekend. I took my daughters
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to an arts festival and and it was amazing, it
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: really was. There were so many different things going on,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: different artists displaying, different things.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I got to see, you know, just different types of art.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: My daughters got to see different types of art, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: they're artists themselves, and their upcoming. One of my daughters
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: wants to go to a specific art school of her choice,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and she's doing things geared towards that's very proud of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: her for that, and so I felt like letting them
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: see how far it could take you in different styles
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of art and stuff would be good for them to experience.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: So we did that.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: It was very nice, very wonderful. But the different types
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of art were really cool too. We got to see
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: like textured art and sculptures and custom art. Just the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: way that they structure things, the creative minds that were there,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and the way that they do things.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Just it's fantastic.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Anytime you get a chance to go to an arts
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: festival or any type of museum, just don't skip out
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: on this chance. Ort least, don't let your kids skip
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: out on that. But it was wonderful. I got to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: experience something called fresh paint art, and there was an
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: artist there who basically was doing art right then and there,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and I thought that was very kind of unique and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: significant at the same time because she was showing that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: she was the actual artist, so unlike some of the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: artists there who were just there selling their art and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: selling their paintings, she was actually selling hers but showing
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that she was the artist that created it by recreating
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: it right before your own eyes. So it was kind
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of like fresh paint. So there was a couple of
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: them that she had just done that morning that you could.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Just purchase right there.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: We didn't get there early enough to kind of see that,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: but some of them we arrived right afterwards, where.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: That's where the.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Expression fresh paint came from. She was like, it's still wet.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: You can purchase it if you want to, but it's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: still wet. And what I liked about her art this
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: particular artist, and I will be displaying some of the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: arts and stuff and the websites and ways you can
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: connect with these artists because I was able to obtain
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: some information on them because it was just it's something
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that was needed to be shared and experienced. But she
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: had kind of like a Bob Ross kind of technique,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And like I said, I wish I was there to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: have seen her actually do the work.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Because he was an artist to see.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Right, If y'all remember Bob Ross, all those who do
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you know what era you were in, My mom was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: an artist herself, and she liked his technique of how
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he did lags, trees and stuff like that. And she
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: was a fan. She actually gave homage to him. There
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: was a picture of of him up there, I assume
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: as inspiration. But it was nice. So that was kind
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of cool, and I, just like I said, enjoyed seeing
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: all the ferent types of art. Another thing I liked
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: seeing down there. This was in like I said, Atlanta
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and the Pedmont area. I like to see the community
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: support down there. A lot of times, different parts in
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: different areas of cities get bad reps. Piedmont area is
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: one of them, this particular side. And I know they're
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: cleaning up stuff in Atlanta, but just to see the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: support where they do the road closures, they do, the.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: They do the like the it's just like drama free.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: What I noticed is everybody was on the same accord.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You do have your normal people who skate there and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: walk there, do their jogs and walk their dogs, just
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: regular community stuff. But they weren't offended by other people, visiting, tourists,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. The artist setting up there.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: You could just tell it was just a normal vibe.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And I really liked the fact that nobody felt offended.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Nobody was doing anything weird. You know, everybody was out
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: having a good time. It was hot weather, very very hot,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: but still no bad attitudes. So I really like that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And being able to take my daughters out to see
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that was really cool too.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Uh. And one of the things I got
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: to experience while I was there.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Was the the Psychiatry exhibit. This thing was pretty powerful.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Let me show y'all something this thing here. There was
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: an exhibit that discussed the different treatments of psychiatry, not
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to be confused with therapy, which I want to make
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: clear to myself again as well as anybody listening, that
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: psychiatry has a way of treating their patients, Okay. And
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of information that I didn't know.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of information that I was able to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: soak in and I want to share it with you all.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to share it all in
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: my segment here, but I will give you information to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: follow up on. It just kind of exposes the dangers
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of the medicine industry, if you will. It dives a
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: little bit deeper into the more than a theory that
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: there's money in the medicine more than there is in
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a cure. The crazy part about it is the medicines
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that are used to actually treat what is supposedly, I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: guess in some cases uncurable. So I won't get into
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: too much. I'll let y'all follow into that if you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: want to. I don't want any entities, any body to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: be offended by the things I say. I don't want
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: any algorithms to feel offended by the things I say
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: or the research I've even written. I mean, I've stumbled
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: upon or was I'm sorry allowed to even and experience.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: But it's pretty powerful. A lot of things were kind
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of shown and shed some light on some things that
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: even are happening today. This stuff has been going on
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: for years and years and years, and before any of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: us even knew what certain pills do and what they
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: were prescribed for. It was significant for me to learn
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that there is a pill out there, and some of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: y'all may know about it. It was news to me
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: news I can use too, that there is a pill
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: right now on the market that is equivalent to and lobotomy,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and which is kind of crazy to me that there's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a pill that and I mean, for whatever reason, I
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: haven't done as much research.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Some of y'all may know it, like I said, click.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: In, tap in, let me know, give me a different perspective,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: a different point of view. That there's a medicine on
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the line or on the on the market that just
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: leaves you in vegetat vegetated state.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Why would you need to take that?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: But but like I said, it kind of shed some
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: light on that. There are a couple of movies and
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: shows that I've seen that reminded me of some of
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the information that it gave and shed light on some
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: of y'all may know this again not telling really my age,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: but I am telling my research, and so hopefully you
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: know some of these things. But one of the movies
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with Jack Nicholson,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: where it kind of shows the things he went through
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: in the psychiatric ward. And one of the things that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I drew from that is that it shows the dehumanity, dehumanitizing,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: dehumanitizing excuse me of how the institutions kind of try
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to get you to go from individualism to conformalism. You
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: they try to get you to lose yourself in other words,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: and you go from one thing I picked up when
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I was reading about is you go from sanity to insanity.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: That's the opposite of what you're going there for, right, So.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Just kind of looking at that and looking at the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: different information that this exhibit provided, it really kind of
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: shows you how backwards some of the medicine industry is.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: We all know it, we all talk about it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Some of us rebel against it, some of us can't
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: help it. But it is interesting to know a lot
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of information. So it's always good to open up your knowledge.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I was talking to one of the workers there and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I also brought up one of the pictures depicts I
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: don't know if any of you follow, but I was
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: watching a series called Bridgerton, and it depicts the spinoff
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: from that of Queen Charlotte and the young Prince George
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: or King George, I'm sorry, the young King George, where
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: he was going through a mental state, a mental period
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: of depression. They didn't know what to do for him,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you know, doctors were still trying to figure out what
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to do for people like that. And it said that
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: it reflected the primitive and often cruel medical practices of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the eighteenth century. That's how that's really described. So, you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: really we watched things as entertainment if you will. But
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: really it's really deeper than that. You know, there were
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: things done to people that made them crazier than when
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: they came right, and it's still going on today. So
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I just I want you all to know about that information.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I will, like I said, be posting things. I have books, DVDs.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: There's still some more research I want to do before
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I put out information like that, because I want to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: give y'all valid things to follow up on and things
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to things to go on.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Information that you really need news you can use right.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: One thing that I did notice about this too, there
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: was a display of how many people have really been
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: affected by mistreatment or misdiagnosis of mental illness. And a
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: lot of them are celebrities. I mean from I'm gonna
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: name a couple of people that I did see on
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the screen. There were Robin Williams, I d Osbourne, there
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: was like.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: What's her name there?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was so many, Marilyn Moreau one of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: my favorites. It was so many. I really don't want
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to name them all. I'm like, again, I'm gonna show
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you guys what's going on, but that it just kind
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: of destroyed some lives and overall, what it showed was
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that we in the end, we all face a penalty
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of losing these great people because they were, like I said,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: misdiagnosed or mistreated. So yeah, but it wasn't all bad.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I learned a lot. I met some great people. I
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: met a young lady man named Kara. Like I told her,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: she's like a kindred spirit and doesn't even know it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Miss Cara, if you could see this tap in, I'm
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: so glad to have met you. Thank you for introducing
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: me to so many great people. Mister Matt Hines, I
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: look forward to working with you soon. A lot of
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: things going on in Atlanta raising awareness for awareness. I'm
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm really excited about this stuff. Like I said,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: this is bad to business. There there are some struggles
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and some challenges that people have to go through.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I understand that.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Raising awareness for awareness is not always easy, but there
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: are some great people that are put in place to
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: really help the cause.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to that.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I met Miss Liz from Ohio. Know that you're doing
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: your great things out there for the cause, so I
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: can't wait to link up with you when we come
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to Ohio. And Miss Sonya Mss Queen Bee from New
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: York who organized everything and keeps this stuff going. Where
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: there is about mental awareness, you are there and you
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: keep stuff going. From what I understand, she's been doing
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: this now for about forty years. So I'm really excited
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to work with you. See what I can do for
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you on this side of the town, this region, and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: see how we can bring some.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Bad to business.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: As I said, so, I thank God for really introducing
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: me to these people and opening my eyes to certain
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: things that I didn't know.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: It's always some news that I like to use.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: And I met these people on my way out, like
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it was so hot. We were on our way out.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Care pulled me in and I'm like, eh, I really
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: don't feel like it. But sometimes there's a toion on
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: your heart that you got to listen to. So I
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: did meet some great people and I'm looking forward to
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: working with all of you.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Next topic of discussion.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So, speaking of some great people, shout out to my
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: newfound friend, supporter and motivational list Cage Phoenix. I will
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: he's tapping in with you. I got some information on her.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: She's a new name to me. I don't know if
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: any of you know her. But I really enjoyed meeting
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: with this young lady, this young woman, she just really
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I call her a motivational list. And I looked at
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: some of her work. I was introduced to her by
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: somebody else, by a mutual friend. I'll get into that,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: that that walk, that journey, that testimony as things progress on,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: because that's something that I'd like to share with y'all
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: about how good God is and how he stays working
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes and we don't even know.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: But I stumbled upon her her work.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I met her through a music for a friend,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and as I looked into her work, I saw that
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of her posts and a lot of her
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: work had been from a while ago.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: But it was right on time for me.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: You know. As I met with her and had a
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: different conversation with her, I realized that, or she told
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: me that a lot of her work that she put out,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: she kind of put a halt to it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: She disconnected for good reason.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: She had reasons to kind of research and do the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: things internally, solely mentally that she had to do. And
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: it was, you know, even that was refreshing to know that,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: no matter how great things are going, sometimes you have
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: to pull back.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: But what we talked about was that she.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Was able to disconnect or put a lot out at
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: that time and disconnect. But the stuff that she put
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: out a couple of years ago really hit me hard
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: right now, and I was telling her that whatever you
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: were feeling a couple of years ago may have been
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: meant for someone like me and a.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Breakthrough that I needed right now.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: So her getting back into her work now, I said,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: please continue your work now because now whatever you're doing
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: now could be somebody's breakthrough two years from now. So
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: let that be a little bit of inspiration to some
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: of y'all too. Don't stop what you're doing now. Whatever
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: may seem like it's not working out for you right now,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem like doors are opening, doesn't seem like whatever
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: work you're doing right now are working. They may not
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: be for right now season, but it doesn't mean it
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't have purpose, you know, So please keep writing, keep inspiring,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: keep motivating, keep doing what you're supposed to do. So
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to work with her. She's got some things
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: going on. What was in our meeting turned into like
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a four hour revelation conversation. We really realized we walk
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: some of the same walks, but it was good and
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: refreshing to hear somebody else from a different pov.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Always good to hear.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Somebody step outside of the box or from outside of
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the box and say, yeah, I was once in that box,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: and this is what happened, you know, seat wise counsel.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: But like I said, from one hour to four hours
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: turned into a great conversation finding out some things about her.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: She got some great things coming up. Let's see what
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: does she tell me about. So she's got a website
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: that she I don't want to say too much because
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I know that she's branching back out and stuff and
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I want her to get a chance to do those things.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: But she's launched this website, a collab website. She's written
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: a book that's already out. She's going to be writing
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: another book. Amazon sales those things.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Keep following me, you gotta follow me for this young
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: lady again. Her name is Cage Phoenix. Some of y'all
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: may know her already, if not, look her up before
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I tell all her stuff. She's also relaunching her magazine
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and she's got a lot of things going on with
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: her magazine. And like I said, I'm just excited to
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: be able to work with somebody like this. She kind
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: of gave me, and I want to share something with
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: y'all before I end on her note some good points
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: for networking, and I could definitely use that.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I am somebody.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Who is somewhat and.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Let me not put the label on myself.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I need some help doing some networking and she gave
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: some good points, so maybe some of this can help you, guys.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to give you the bullet points. You
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: can follow up with her and follow up on my
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: page see what's going on, elaborate on these ideas.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: But number one, go outside. Get outside.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: There's no way that you can do anything without getting
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: out of your four walls. I mean, we've created ways
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to do that, but really to be able to network
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and let somebody feel you outside of just your for
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: it zone, you know, you got to get out there
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and get with some people. So go outside. Second is
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: set realistic goals. You already know what that means. And
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I'm one that if I can see it, I can
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: achieve it. I know that for a fact. If you're
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: one of those people, do it, like the motivation says
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: and the meme says, do it broke, do it scared,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: just do it. I still struggle with that, but that's
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: on my list too. Prepare and practice. Uh, I definitely
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: need to do that. I'm good at preparing the practice thing.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel I can wing it. By the time
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the time comes up, it's not really working out. So uh,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: you want to get your practice in, especially when you're
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: trying to target a certain crowd.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Or you know who you're going to be meeting.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: One of my models is know who you're dealing with
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: so you know how to deal with them.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: So get that in.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Listen and ask questions. Number four, do your research. That's
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: really important. Five follow up. I know I'm pretty bad
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: at following up. I am a starter right, self starter,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: big starter, fire starter, but that following up it gets bad.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: A lot of people have AI assistants and stuff like
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: that to do that. Now, I gotta learn how to
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: make technology work for me. But that follow up is
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: very important. I'm getting that so as I just seen,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: like Jesse says, sometimes you gotta take that leap, you know.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: So anyway, back to Cage Phoenix, I'm so excited to
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: work with you. I can't wait until we link up
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: do some wonderful things. Like I said, y'all keep following
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the page, see what's going on. Moving up alone, Let's
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: see what else is at the business table. So we
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: got the like psychiatry thing going on. Yes before I
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: really bring it home because I yeah, I'm gonna just
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: go ahead and do it. It is Sunday. I'm so
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: glad I made it to Sunday. With all the things
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: going on in the week. Like I said, I went
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to the art festival. It was wonderful, wonderful the art festival,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: it was wonderful. I went to the exhibit, very knowledgeable,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: put myself together. I met some wonderful people. I'm learning
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that going outside, getting outside talking to people, doing your
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: research is wonderful for the spirit as well as, uh,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you know, your networking. If that's the type of person
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and the business that you're trying to do. I met
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: a wonderful person who is at the least motivation. Like
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I said, I thanked her for sparking something in me
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: that my family and friends have been trying to push
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: out of me. They know the situation I've been in,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: kind of feeling my feelings, but this type of person
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like, like I told them, it's a
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: professional point of view.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: It's a professional.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Push where they have been kind of understanding what I've
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: been going through family and friends. This person is kind
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: of like pushing from a different kind of perspective.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: So that kind of worked out.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: And then, y'all, so when I tell you there was
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: a time to be had last night, I got to
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: experience Frank Ski's old school party. Right when I tell y'all,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: little girl Blue blew her horn last night. Okay, there
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: was a time to be had. There was a time
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: to be had, and I had it. Thank you to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Frank Skip for throwing something that us older folks can have.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: It was an all white event.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: We all.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna say I had a little pet peeve
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: because not everybody was dressing all white. Made me feel
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: some type of way. There's some people that were very colorful,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: very out of dress code. But as me and my
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: beautiful friend, an accomplice and partner, was saying that, you
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: know what, it doesn't matter how people are out of
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: dress code. We felt good, we looked good, We had
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: a wonderful time. And at first I was a little
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: skeptical going to all white events make me a little
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: bit nervous. You know, you don't want nobody to step
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: on your all white air forces. In my case, I
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: had on all white chucks. I didn't want to do that.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: But the significance is this. In this was that I
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: had to kind of tell myself, so, do you not
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: want to wear your shoes because you're afraid of somebody
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: stepping on them? Because I know, you know, we get
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: an attitude stuff like that. You gotta change your mind, right,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want to. I said to myself, I don't
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: want to not wear my shoes because I don't ever
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: want anybody to step on them.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: That's stupid.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: But then I was like, well, I don't really want
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: to go to an event where it doesn't matter. Took
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: myself through all that of why I didn't want to
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: wear these white shoes. But when I tell you, I
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: went to a grown up party and where people respected
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: people's face and we had a good time. You know,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: if anything, we stayed away from each other's white shoes.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: We tried to stay away from each other when we
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: had a drink. You know, we had a great time,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: great music. Thank you again. Shout out to Frank Ski,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the whole team. This was a great event. It was
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: great to go to a party where it had grown
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: ups acting like grown ups. We did not fear being
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: shot at. We didn't fear anything that put us in
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: any kind of danger. I know we didn't. We had
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: a great time. We said excuse me, We were polite
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to each other, we were grown and it was a
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: fun time. So I just want to again say shout
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: out to Frank Ski. It was a time, a time
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: was had, and I cannot wait for other things like that.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to give inspiration that there are parties
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: for us older grown folks that actually like to go out,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: not get into any type of controversy.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: We're not trying to make it big on social media
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: for the wrong reasons.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, but we had a great time, so that was fun.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I'll be posting.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Some some clips on my page so y'all can see
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: what type of time y'all know. If you were not there,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: shout out to everybody who was there, all white events,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: old school party, Frank Ski again, thank you so much.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: And I will be, like I said, posting some videos
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: about the time y'all missed, because it was great.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I have to edit it because I mean, it's one
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: of them. You should have been there.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: So I'll give y'all little piece and snips snippets of it.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: But a great time was had that blue, that blue
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: personality will never be the same. And last, but not least,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I want to leave y'all with a closing message.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: I had what I call a sit in thought.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: It's not really, uh a day dream, if you will,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like when you sit and you think
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: about things, and you're trying to sit and think out things,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: so you're not really drifting drifting off off. You're you're
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: really kind of contemplating on how to make the next step.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe you are meditating, maybe maybe you're just talking God.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're just kind of planning out the next steps mentally.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I call those sitting thoughts not really daydreams. So I
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: was having a sit in thought where I was talking
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: with talking to God, and I was praying and I
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: was walking with him. I was walking with God on water.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I did not see him, but I could see his feet.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: It's kind of at night. We were on a body
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: of water, his feet was illuminated, and I was walking
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: with him with my left hand holding him with my
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: left hand, and we were walking and I was just
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: amazed at how I was taking this walk with God
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: on water. And all of a sudden I started seeing
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: sharks swimming around and didn't really bother me. I think
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: at first I was kind of thinking, you know, why
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: are there sharks around while I'm walking with God? But
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: they were circling swimming. All of a sudden, they started
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: doing the little dolphin tricks, you know, swimming back and forth.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I was just kind of walking, like, you know, holding
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: God's hand, like what are they doing here?
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I'm walking with God.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: So we're walking and like I said, I could see
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: them swimming and jumping in front of us. I could
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: hear them behind us jumping, and all of a sudden,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: one of the sharks jumped up and it nicked me
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: on the back of my right calf.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: And I looked down and.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I saw the nick and the first thought that came
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to mind was what are you doing? Like, how were
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you able to do that? I'm still holding onto God's hand,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and the first thought that came to mind was how
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: was the shark able to nick me while I'm walking
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: with God.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I was a little.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Perturbed, to say the least so as I was walking.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: We're still walking, and I'm still kind of thinking, how
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: did this happen? How did this shark? How was this
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: shark able to even touch me while walk God? And
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: then the scripture hit me that God said that even
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: though weapons may form, they will not prosper. And I
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: was discussing this with my cousin and the irony, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: she pointed out a piece of the irony in this revelation.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: She said, you didn't say it hurt. You didn't say
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: it led. You just say you recognize that it nicked you.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: And as I was talking to her about it, I
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: realized that, no, it didn't hurt. It didn't bleed. I
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: did see the mark, but it did not hurt. It
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: did not bleed, It did not stop my walk. I
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: was just more surprised that I was even able to
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: be touched while walking with God. And again the word
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: came back to me, weapons may form, but they won't prosper.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: It didn't stop anything. And I'm continuing to learn in
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: life that weapons may form, but as long as they
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: don't prosper, you keep going. You don't let that stop you.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: You don't let that hinder you. One thing that my
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: brother taught in a session of Bible study was you
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: don't let your feelings get in the way of your purpose.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel anything, and talking with my friend, we
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: talked a little bit deeper about that and.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Discovered that there was no feeling. There was no fear.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I just stayed focused, and as long as I stayed
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: focused on my walk with God, I did not fear
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the sharks.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I did not feel what they attempted.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: And even if he could nick me at that point,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: then at some point he could have taken me out,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I assume, but no, he could not. The weapons may form,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: but they're not gonna prosper. So I wanted to kind
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: of leave y'all with that. I hope y'all have a
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: great week. But before I go, I want to remind
