Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome to mediumship Sparks, where we connect more deeply with
- 0:05Speaker 1: spirit and source and follow the sparks of insight and
- 0:08Speaker 1: inspiration that bring us greater awareness, healing, and just more
- 0:11Speaker 1: flow into our lives. I'm Noel dean intuitive medium, licensed therapist,
- 0:16Speaker 1: and your host. A quick note before we begin. This
- 0:18Speaker 1: podcast is for educational purposes only and provides general information.
- 0:22Speaker 1: It is not medical or psychological advice and is not
- 0:25Speaker 1: a substitute for care from a licensed health professional. I'm
- 0:28Speaker 1: so grateful we get to step into this together. Let's
- 0:31Speaker 1: dig in. So looking back, do you have any regrets
- 0:35Speaker 1: about how you lived your life past that point? She's
- 0:40Speaker 1: saying yes many. She's saying, my husband was disappointed. She's
- 0:46Speaker 1: using an analogy of a balloon. She's showing a balloon
- 0:50Speaker 1: filled with air and ak not tide at the end,
- 0:52Speaker 1: and the idea that it can bounce and bounce back.
- 0:56Speaker 1: She's saying how she chose to live the rest of
- 0:58Speaker 1: her life was and she shows when you have a
- 1:01Speaker 1: balloon and you pull the tip of it, you pull
- 1:04Speaker 1: it kind of tight and air leaks out very slowly.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Sometimes it makes a squeaky noise. She's saying, that's how
- 1:11Speaker 1: she chose to live. But there was no squeaking. There
- 1:14Speaker 1: was very little life that came out or came from her.
- 1:17Speaker 1: After that, they went on to have their third child.
- 1:22Speaker 1: She's using the term pretended to raise him, but that
- 1:26Speaker 1: she was very absent. She was just not present except physically.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Most of the time. She would be in the hospital
- 1:33Speaker 1: for various stays. Had she bounced back differently, she's saying,
- 1:38Speaker 1: not that they would have necessarily forgotten, but they would
- 1:40Speaker 1: have forgiven, forget kind of thing, but she could never
- 1:44Speaker 1: let it go. So people always felt sorry for her family.
- 1:48Speaker 1: And she's saying that had its own kind of contained
- 1:50Speaker 1: energy that she didn't like. But she's saying she felt
- 1:55Speaker 1: like she couldn't help. It was like there was a
- 1:57Speaker 1: grave mark for her already and she was just slowly
- 2:01Speaker 1: rotating around, spinning herself down into it over the course
- 2:05Speaker 1: of many years. And she's asking, do I think that
- 2:10Speaker 1: she has regrets of how she lived? I guess I
- 2:14Speaker 1: do that it seemed like you never really enjoyed life,
- 2:20Speaker 1: at least for the chapter of your life that I
- 2:24Speaker 1: can remember being a part of. And I can understand
- 2:29Speaker 1: the commitment and choice to not leave your body and
- 2:34Speaker 1: to quote be there for your family, and you were.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Things would have been very different had you not been around.
- 2:39Speaker 1: It just seems like I don't want to say it
- 2:41Speaker 1: this way, but these are the words that are coming
- 2:42Speaker 1: to me, and I guess they're coming from you. A
- 2:44Speaker 1: waste of life energy to have surrendered and given up
- 2:49Speaker 1: so completely and severely in that way. She's saying that
- 2:53Speaker 1: she had some quote good company. What do you mean
- 2:57Speaker 1: by that? She's saying that she had lovely grandchildren three,
- 3:03Speaker 1: then she got more. My parents divorced, and then Harvey
- 3:08Speaker 1: married somebody who had two of their own children. She
- 3:11Speaker 1: would have known them because they were neighbors. There was
- 3:14Speaker 1: a friendship history there. Oh really huh? And she said
- 3:21Speaker 1: she wanted to make sure that happened like her son,
- 3:24Speaker 1: Harvey remarrying, And Wow, wouldn't have thought that. The widow
- 3:33Speaker 1: of my father's best friend from years earlier, Tolene, who
- 3:37Speaker 1: became my stepmother, who lived four minutes away from my
- 3:40Speaker 1: grandparents when my parents got divorced, and I guess she
- 3:46Speaker 1: found out. She started spending time around my grandparents and
- 3:50Speaker 1: being helpful about things, And it feels to me like
- 3:55Speaker 1: she wanted to make sure they got together, and she
- 3:59Speaker 1: passed soon after they got married. So is that part
- 4:06Speaker 1: of why you stuck around as long as you did? Huh?
- 4:09Speaker 1: She's saying definitely, because she knew Harvey would have been
- 4:13Speaker 1: alone without her help to facilitate him engaging in the
- 4:17Speaker 1: relationship with Helene. Okay, So she's saying, so regret no,
- 4:25Speaker 1: because that had to happen. She wanted Harvey to feel
- 4:29Speaker 1: taken care of. And she's saying Helene did a good
- 4:33Speaker 1: job and for Harvey his limitations, she was a perfect match.
- 4:39Speaker 1: She didn't care that he was so disengaged in ways.
- 4:43Speaker 1: She was very accepting of him. She was like, oh,
- 4:45Speaker 1: that's just Harvey being Harvey. She didn't necessarily make it wrong,
- 4:49Speaker 1: like she could live with it. And I guess she
- 4:54Speaker 1: also loved the idea of creating this bigger family with
- 4:57Speaker 1: four kids who then became with each other. She's saying
- 5:03Speaker 1: there were better relationships to come of it than what
- 5:06Speaker 1: would have happened without it. Okay, message received. She's saying,
- 5:16Speaker 1: do I wish I would have enjoyed life more. She's
- 5:19Speaker 1: showing me a picture. Mom and Papa's apartment had a
- 5:23Speaker 1: wall of family photos. There's a picture of them they
- 5:26Speaker 1: took a trip to Florida and the area. She's having
- 5:31Speaker 1: me focus onto her eyes because she was pretty much blind.
- 5:36Speaker 1: If she was in a photograph, she never knew where
- 5:39Speaker 1: to look, so her eyes were always looking somewhere else,
- 5:43Speaker 1: not straight ahead. And with that visual comes that feeling
- 5:49Speaker 1: of a lack of presence in the moment. She's showing
- 5:52Speaker 1: me another photograph where mom and Papa came to visit
- 5:56Speaker 1: us after Harvey and Helene got married, and they were
- 6:00Speaker 1: in our house in New Jersey. I'm just seeing the wallpaper,
- 6:04Speaker 1: so I'm clear of where this was, and they did
- 6:07Speaker 1: look pretty happy. Papa had his arm around Mama. They
- 6:10Speaker 1: were sitting in chairs in the dining room. She's saying
- 6:14Speaker 1: she did feel happy and content with that. She knew
- 6:17Speaker 1: that Harvey was better off. Helene would bring out this
- 6:21Speaker 1: part of him to make him like a bigger man
- 6:23Speaker 1: or a better man, she sang. Other than that, he
- 6:27Speaker 1: tried to be like his version of the perfect husband,
- 6:30Speaker 1: which was to be at home each night and to
- 6:33Speaker 1: have worked hard at his job and provide a financial support,
- 6:38Speaker 1: and that he wasn't always successful, but he tried, She's saying,
- 6:42Speaker 1: and they lived happily, never after they coexisted well, and
- 6:49Speaker 1: she's sang happy they had their moments they were okay
- 6:52Speaker 1: with each other, especially at the end that he did
- 6:55Speaker 1: attempt to be more nurturing Helene had cancer and seeing
- 6:59Speaker 1: he was applying some kind of lotion or taking care
- 7:03Speaker 1: of a wound. Mama saying about Helene that she had
- 7:06Speaker 1: expected Harvey to be less than motivated to be nurturing
- 7:10Speaker 1: and handy in that way. He surprised her and she
- 7:13Speaker 1: appreciated it. She's saying that image in her mind was
- 7:19Speaker 1: seeing him as a good son because she had such
- 7:23Speaker 1: health issues and Papa had done everything to take care
- 7:26Speaker 1: of her. He even sewed her clothing so it wouldn't
- 7:29Speaker 1: irritate her body, and that Harvey got his own taste
- 7:32Speaker 1: of supporting and nurturing and loving his wife in that way.
- 7:36Speaker 1: It was a proud moment for her son, for himself
- 7:41Speaker 1: as well as she got to see the training he
- 7:44Speaker 1: would have seen. Even out of a pretty dismal situation.
- 7:47Speaker 1: He got to see how to love differently, and that
- 7:50Speaker 1: got carried forward. She's saying, she's very proud of all
- 7:55Speaker 1: the grandchildren. Lisa, my sister returned to the heavens sooner
- 7:59Speaker 1: than we expected. It seemed that she would turn things
- 8:03Speaker 1: around in some way sooner. I guess there were choices
- 8:07Speaker 1: that were made, the culmination of which had her leave
- 8:10Speaker 1: at fifty eight. But she might have left at sixty
- 8:13Speaker 1: two or sixty four, or seventy five or seventy nine,
- 8:17Speaker 1: And then she keeps kind of going with the numbers,
- 8:19Speaker 1: but it culminated for her to leave at fifty eight.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Mom is saying that she was always so proud of
- 8:23Speaker 1: Lisa because she knew that she did her best in
- 8:25Speaker 1: the moment, even if it seemed poor performance in coping skills.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Mom is making fun of herself. The great example she
- 8:32Speaker 1: had shown. What she's making me aware of is that
- 8:37Speaker 1: the example she showed through her own behavior or what
- 8:41Speaker 1: she role modeled, was a sickly rather dysfunctional person on
- 8:46Speaker 1: the earth. And she's reminding me how Harvey in his
- 8:50Speaker 1: adult life really sabotaged his own health and in many ways,
- 8:54Speaker 1: he didn't become like a housebound in the way that
- 8:57Speaker 1: she did, and he didn't take care of his health
- 9:00Speaker 1: to change that trajectory, she's saying, And in a lot
- 9:05Speaker 1: of ways, my sister Lisa learned those same behaviors because
- 9:09Speaker 1: she also through joblessness. She was married to a man
- 9:12Speaker 1: who loved her very much, so she emulated that same
- 9:17Speaker 1: thing where she was home, and health issues and health
- 9:21Speaker 1: conditions that were part of self sabotage kept her quite
- 9:26Speaker 1: ill and healthbound ish in her own way. I had
- 9:30Speaker 1: breast cancer and I did work again after, but for
- 9:35Speaker 1: the most part, I've been home since. But I feel
- 9:39Speaker 1: like I've behaved. She's saying, yes, thank goodness, I've behaved
- 9:42Speaker 1: differently and have trained myself to do this work and
- 9:46Speaker 1: have my business and do things to support other people
- 9:50Speaker 1: and teach classes and do readings. She's saying, the inertia
- 9:53Speaker 1: didn't take me over as it did with the other
- 9:56Speaker 1: two that were talking about. She's also showing, I just
- 9:58Speaker 1: want you to double check on me. But I'm left
- 10:01Speaker 1: with that you stayed as long as you did because
- 10:03Speaker 1: you wanted to make sure that Harvey was coupled up
- 10:05Speaker 1: and got remarried and was taken care of, and that
- 10:10Speaker 1: it was pre arranged about Gilbert leaving before he turned six.
- 10:14Speaker 1: So that was She's using the word commitment in my head.
- 10:17Speaker 1: I just said, oh, So the question was about having
- 10:20Speaker 1: any regrets, and she said to me that she's proud
- 10:22Speaker 1: of herself because she did the best that she could
- 10:25Speaker 1: with what she already knew. There were limits to how
- 10:30Speaker 1: she could see her role as a housewife, and she's
- 10:35Speaker 1: saying there wasn't very much to live for other than
- 10:37Speaker 1: her commitment to her relationships. Do you feel like you
- 10:41Speaker 1: missed out on many things when you were still here?
- 10:45Speaker 1: I guess she's saying she didn't really care about those things.
- 10:49Speaker 1: She didn't really care to travel. She felt the safest
- 10:51Speaker 1: at home. That was her comfort zone, my sister and
- 10:57Speaker 1: I being there pretty much every day until we moved
- 11:00Speaker 1: to New Jersey. But she's saying that brought sunshine and
- 11:02Speaker 1: life into their home. And now she's given me a
- 11:06Speaker 1: visual of the emptiness in her apartment when we were
- 11:12Speaker 1: no longer living in the neighborhood. We didn't see them
- 11:17Speaker 1: nearly as much after, but we didn't spend the kind
- 11:20Speaker 1: of time that we did when we were young. And
- 11:23Speaker 1: I can just feel as if she's given me a
- 11:25Speaker 1: view of the apartment from the kitchen, and I could
- 11:27Speaker 1: just feel the emptiness of the energy. She's using the
- 11:30Speaker 1: word listless. My sister and I brought life into the apartment,
- 11:34Speaker 1: and she appreciated that light, the sunshine, and that it
- 11:39Speaker 1: wasn't the same without us in the neighborhood. Now she's
- 11:43Speaker 1: showing that when Helene started spending time at her apartment
- 11:46Speaker 1: with her kids, that that helped and she would hear
- 11:50Speaker 1: the neighborhood kids if she had the window open, she
- 11:52Speaker 1: could hear them outside playing. And she's saying, and that
- 11:55Speaker 1: brought her some joy, okay, And then she says, but
- 12:00Speaker 1: any regrets, And then in capital she says no, She says,
- 12:04Speaker 1: those are my choices, and I stand by them. I
- 12:06Speaker 1: did the best I could manage at the time. And
- 12:11Speaker 1: she's saying, and if I want to do it over again,
- 12:13Speaker 1: have another life, she would do it again and live
- 12:17Speaker 1: out a different kind of extension of life and have
- 12:21Speaker 1: those same experiences, but manage and do differently. So, if
- 12:27Speaker 1: you wanted to have another go at it to maybe
- 12:35Speaker 1: bounce back more like the balloon, would you set up
- 12:39Speaker 1: the same kind of situation but be determined to handle
- 12:41Speaker 1: it differently? She's saying similar, Like it could be that
- 12:46Speaker 1: she would be a young woman that would have lived
- 12:50Speaker 1: with or visited with her mother very often and been
- 12:53Speaker 1: very close, and then her mom passing would feel like
- 12:57Speaker 1: as tragic, like her mom passing at a young age
- 13:00Speaker 1: would feel as tragic more or less as as Gilbert's
- 13:04Speaker 1: passing did, and then she would work to recover hopefully
- 13:08Speaker 1: more easily. Okay, And that question keeps bouncing back in
- 13:13Speaker 1: my head, So any regrets. Maybe why this is coming
- 13:17Speaker 1: back each time is like I'm now picturing these different
- 13:21Speaker 1: chapters of her life or her time in Poland emigrating
- 13:23Speaker 1: over here, not just Gilbert's passing, and like any regrets
- 13:27Speaker 1: about any of that stuff. And she's saying, these were
- 13:30Speaker 1: all experiences that I lived with. And she's showing her
- 13:35Speaker 1: siblings and she's saying that we chose to be in
- 13:38Speaker 1: this together, like same time, one family. We made it
- 13:44Speaker 1: happen together. And she's saying, and that's we wished and
- 13:47Speaker 1: wanted that, So no, no regrets about it. And she's
- 13:55Speaker 1: saying hard or difficult is not impossible to live with.
- 14:00Speaker 1: It's meaningful. And I can feel some emotion come up
- 14:06Speaker 1: that it's meaningful. She's saying, there's a purpose to our pain.
- 14:12Speaker 1: You can't bypass pain in this life. You just can't.
- 14:17Speaker 1: And you wouldn't want that because then you just don't
- 14:21Speaker 1: learn anything. She said, it made her richer mom to
- 14:26Speaker 1: have lost her son because she valued every precious moment
- 14:31Speaker 1: with her kids. After that she thought about them, they
- 14:34Speaker 1: just felt so precious and loved in her heart. And
- 14:38Speaker 1: then grandchildren were like the cherries on top. And she's saying,
- 14:44Speaker 1: I can't manage to have regrets because then it would
- 14:48Speaker 1: be like wishing none of that existed. And that was
- 14:52Speaker 1: the sunshine of my life. So you and Papa are
- 14:55Speaker 1: you part of the same soul group? No, but a
- 14:59Speaker 1: kin or related Okay, And I'm feeling aware. If I
- 15:03Speaker 1: asked my mother if she was curious about mom and Papa,
- 15:07Speaker 1: her first question, and it is with anybody who's passed,
- 15:10Speaker 1: are they still together kind of thing? It's my impression
- 15:12Speaker 1: that some people are still together, like my mother's mother
- 15:15Speaker 1: and her stepfather. So when you first crossed, you met
- 15:20Speaker 1: up with papa. She's of course, duh, because you left first.
- 15:25Speaker 1: So were you waiting for Papa? She's saying, absolutely, as
- 15:30Speaker 1: well as many others were also waiting for her. And
- 15:33Speaker 1: do you spend time with Papa? Now? Do you guys know?
- 15:38Speaker 1: That's been my impression every time I've asked over the
- 15:40Speaker 1: last however many years. She says, we're different, very different
- 15:44Speaker 1: in our purpose and our intention of being over there.
- 15:48Speaker 1: She's saying, she says, I'm not into that, and then
- 15:53Speaker 1: I see the word lucky. She's sharing about Papa, and
- 15:56Speaker 1: he has shared this with me in a different kind
- 15:58Speaker 1: of way that she calls him a traveler healing, and
- 16:02Speaker 1: she's not into that. She's more of family, gathering kinfolk
- 16:08Speaker 1: and surrounding family members with love all the time. She's saying,
- 16:12Speaker 1: not just a few, but all of them that she
- 16:14Speaker 1: can muster to gather around and support. And how maybe
- 16:20Speaker 1: somebody that she doesn't feel I wouldn't have thought her
- 16:22Speaker 1: to feel very connected with, let's say a great great
- 16:25Speaker 1: grandson of some distant cousin of hers or something like,
- 16:29Speaker 1: she becomes part of that group. Is the impression that
- 16:32Speaker 1: you're giving me. So she's like this traveling family member.
- 16:35Speaker 1: But that's very different than what Papa does. And she's saying,
- 16:37Speaker 1: if we had aligned goals, we would travel together because
- 16:41Speaker 1: we get along so well. I love that, and I
- 16:47Speaker 1: feel shaking my head back into reality of remembering that
- 16:51Speaker 1: how I experienced Mama was just so frail or fragile
- 16:55Speaker 1: that imagining her without Papa would be scary because she
- 16:59Speaker 1: couldn't even walk out of her apartment without holding somebody's
- 17:02Speaker 1: arm or hand or hanging on to somebody because she
- 17:05Speaker 1: just couldn't do anything on her own. So it's something
- 17:08Speaker 1: I have to reawaken too at times when there's any
- 17:11Speaker 1: conversation like this. I'm hoping that people can apply this
- 17:17Speaker 1: to their thoughts about their own grandparents and great grandparents, Mama,
- 17:20Speaker 1: people that they love and that they think of and
- 17:24Speaker 1: hope and wonder if they're okay, but also hope that
- 17:28Speaker 1: their loved one has recovered from some of the tragic
- 17:31Speaker 1: things in their lives that would have happened. She's saying, yes,
- 17:37Speaker 1: but could you also imagine how they've feeled? Could you
- 17:43Speaker 1: also imagine and she's showing a visual of you listener,
- 17:49Speaker 1: thinking about your grandparents and imagining them being restored up
- 17:55Speaker 1: in what we consider the heavens, that they've reconciled with
- 18:00Speaker 1: past partners and cousins and sisters or brothers or parents
- 18:04Speaker 1: that they had discord with, or even friends, not just family,
- 18:10Speaker 1: and that it's not or is it? She said, It's
- 18:12Speaker 1: one big, happy, connected family. There are no grudges that
- 18:16Speaker 1: last long term. It's reminding us. People don't shake off
- 18:20Speaker 1: their personalities, but they are restored and they return to
- 18:23Speaker 1: their core energy, which is basically love, unconditional love of
- 18:29Speaker 1: self and others, she's saying, which means it can go anywhere,
- 18:34Speaker 1: and it does. So she's encouraging all of us to
- 18:39Speaker 1: hang on to that idea that memory isn't still how
- 18:42Speaker 1: they live, that your loved one in spirit, That it
- 18:46Speaker 1: takes time for healing, but time is eternal. There's no
- 18:50Speaker 1: markers of it or dividers of it. She's saying, up
- 18:54Speaker 1: in heavens, do you really call it that for yourselves? No? No,
- 18:58Speaker 1: she's being funny, and she goes, huh, who Okay, she's
- 19:06Speaker 1: reminding all of us. She shows this a line of people,
- 19:10Speaker 1: like a very long line of people, and they're all
- 19:12Speaker 1: holding hands and making this long stretch, and she's reminding
- 19:17Speaker 1: us that we all at some point take our place
- 19:20Speaker 1: in that line, and the feeling that comes with that
- 19:24Speaker 1: is we all become realigned with that sense of oneness.
- 19:29Speaker 1: So she's saying, at some point, there's no discord, there's
- 19:32Speaker 1: no destruction, there's just a healing and loving and supporting
- 19:37Speaker 1: each other and looking for growth, and that how people
- 19:41Speaker 1: are and were when they were down here is just
- 19:45Speaker 1: so vastly different than who they really are underneath. And
- 19:49Speaker 1: she's encouraging us to remember that about people. So even
- 19:54Speaker 1: the meanest of souls when they were here eventually someday,
- 20:01Speaker 1: and she's showing that for some it's an extremely long road.
- 20:05Speaker 1: But also their behaviors served a purpose even when it
- 20:09Speaker 1: seemed like tragedy struck because of them, that they represented
- 20:14Speaker 1: something that was alive in many and lived it out
- 20:18Speaker 1: because there was agreement about doing so. And she's saying,
- 20:21Speaker 1: and we all overcome someday, and she's showing like, we
- 20:24Speaker 1: go back and it's restorative and healing, and then we
- 20:28Speaker 1: choose and decide to start over again in another incarnation
- 20:36Speaker 1: with each other, without each other. We draw different lines
- 20:40Speaker 1: of connection and family and kin for the next generation
- 20:43Speaker 1: of our incarnation, and we do it for the most growth.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Most times. Sometimes we choose ease because we're supporting others
- 20:53Speaker 1: be able to survive their own painful experiences and we
- 20:56Speaker 1: come in as a support. And if we've dealt with
- 20:58Speaker 1: too much tragedy, we couldn't do that, so we modify
- 21:01Speaker 1: that and monitor it so there isn't too much for
- 21:04Speaker 1: the person who becomes the glue or the standing post
- 21:10Speaker 1: to support others. And she shows somebody who seems to
- 21:14Speaker 1: have some clarity on being very loving, and I guess
- 21:18Speaker 1: sometimes them having too much tragedy in their own life
- 21:21Speaker 1: would prevent them from being able to be that. She's
- 21:23Speaker 1: using the term guiding post of support and recovery. Or
- 21:28Speaker 1: they'll just have a taste briefly and then they're so
- 21:31Speaker 1: determined to get past it so they can reinvent themselves
- 21:35Speaker 1: to help other people overcome. So she's just reminding us
- 21:38Speaker 1: that these are deliberate choices, despite even how tragic they
- 21:43Speaker 1: may seem or feel empathically or even subjectively, there are reasons, mom.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Is there anything else that you think would be helpful
- 21:52Speaker 1: for people to hear about this so they could reinvent.
- 21:56Speaker 1: She's using the term reinvent the notion of how tragic
- 21:59Speaker 1: you're grandparents' lives were and help you have some peace
- 22:02Speaker 1: of mind about them and their journeys. And she's saying,
- 22:07Speaker 1: remember this that we all came here and signed up
- 22:10Speaker 1: for it, And even if the question who in the
- 22:15Speaker 1: hell would sign up for that? Whatever that is, she's
- 22:20Speaker 1: reminding you some people would say that about your choices
- 22:22Speaker 1: or some of your choices, and that we all come
- 22:26Speaker 1: here differently for different reasons, and to maybe not judge
- 22:30Speaker 1: that part of it, and then it would feel less tragic.
- 22:33Speaker 1: And she's just reminding us that it's so easy to
- 22:39Speaker 1: look at somebody's life that seems like it got really
- 22:42Speaker 1: effed up because of tragedy, and then to remember that
- 22:45Speaker 1: they actually came and accomplished the things that they came
- 22:48Speaker 1: to accomplish, and that they walk away feeling good about
- 22:52Speaker 1: how things played out, even though it seemed like it sucked.
- 22:55Speaker 1: That those were her choices, and who am I to
- 22:58Speaker 1: judge that may things went way wrong? And how sorry
- 23:02Speaker 1: I feel for her about that, because how it sounds
- 23:06Speaker 1: is that she's pretty empowered that she stuck by what
- 23:09Speaker 1: she chose and she made the best of it, and
- 23:11Speaker 1: she's still fulfilled on her commitments and she feels good
- 23:13Speaker 1: about that. So tuck that in your pocket and keep
- 23:19Speaker 1: walking forward, because the same applies to you. And she's
- 23:24Speaker 1: I believe she's talking to you and me as well,
- 23:29Speaker 1: and she says, yes, of course, And now I start
- 23:32Speaker 1: hearing this song, don't go changing to try to please me.
- 23:36Speaker 1: You never held me down before so Billy Joel, just
- 23:42Speaker 1: the way you are. That's so sweet. Okay, let's all
- 23:47Speaker 1: go listen to that song and read the words of it. Oh,
- 23:51Speaker 1: and then she's given kind of this chef's kiss, like
- 23:55Speaker 1: just the way you are to you and to me,
- 23:59Speaker 1: and to know that we are loved just the way
- 24:01Speaker 1: we are. And we did come in for these experiences, hard, difficult, pleasurable, enjoyable,
- 24:08Speaker 1: all of it, and to not wish it away because
- 24:11Speaker 1: there is growth. And she's saying excitement in the journey
- 24:18Speaker 1: before we ever came, and that we're doing our best
- 24:22Speaker 1: to stay sane and to get through things, and we'll
- 24:26Speaker 1: be proud of how we handle the journey when we leave.
- 24:30Speaker 1: So we're just doing our best and that is pretty
- 24:34Speaker 1: damn good. Anything else you want to say to everybody,
- 24:40Speaker 1: she says to all of us, I love you just
- 24:42Speaker 1: as you are, just the way you are, and so
- 24:45Speaker 1: does everybody else who knows you up in the heavens.
- 24:49Speaker 1: There's no judgment, there's no theory you should be doing better.
- 24:54Speaker 1: You came in with the struggles that you have, like
- 24:57Speaker 1: you knew ahead of time. It's not like you efed
- 24:59Speaker 1: up your path and now you're just disappointing people and yourself,
- 25:03Speaker 1: your future self, like when you're in spirit. She says,
- 25:08Speaker 1: that's not happening. That's not happening right now. That's not happening.
- 25:12Speaker 1: She's saying, it's never worked that way, and that doesn't
- 25:16Speaker 1: change for you. It's not different for you. You're okay.
- 25:20Speaker 1: You're okay, just the way you are. Thank you, Mama,
- 25:24Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining Mama and myself, and
- 25:29Speaker 1: I hope this episode supported you in things that you
- 25:31Speaker 1: might wonder about sometimes and that maybe put a little
- 25:34Speaker 1: pain in your heart, and maybe it helps relieve some
- 25:37Speaker 1: of that for yourself. If you have other things that
- 25:39Speaker 1: you wonder about in this kind of vein, and you
- 25:45Speaker 1: think that maybe one of my family members in spirit
- 25:48Speaker 1: or my team and I can help explore it a
- 25:51Speaker 1: bit that might bring you some extra piece. Let me
- 25:55Speaker 1: know it's a mean email and we'll do our best.
