Patti Talks Too Much
Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.
We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs.
I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
Patti Talks Too Much
Community and Comfort: Food, Friends, and Affirmations
Ever struggled to create a warm, supportive environment for your children? Patti and Anoki kick off today's episode by sharing personal stories about their morning routines and nighttime challenges. Anoki opens up about her positive experiences at Gainesville High and the stark contrast with her son's previous kindergarten class, which lacked the warmth and support every young child deserves. Together, they emphasize the crucial role that nurturing educational spaces play in childhood development.
Switching gears, the episode celebrates the joys of home food preparation. From sourcing raw milk to mastering the art of bread making, Patti shares heartfelt anecdotes and practical tips on creating homemade dairy products and baked goods. Listen in as they plan a future gathering centered around homemade soup, grilled cheese, and freshly baked bread, highlighting the sense of community and fulfillment that comes from sharing food with loved ones.
Navigating through teenage drama and friendship, Taylor recounts intense personal experiences—from a dramatic birthday party incident to the complexities of mall culture in the 90s. The discussion then transitions to deeper reflections on friendships, loyalty, and boundaries, inspired by Jamie Sams' medicine cards and the resilience of Taylor, a mother of four. Wrapping up, Patti and Anoki focus on positive affirmations and gratitude, inviting listeners to reflect on their own journeys of transformation and growth within our amazing community.
Good morning. Good morning, this is Patti, with Patti Talks Too Much, and I am here with my dear friend Inoki and of course we've already been chatting're. We're hoping that taylor joins us. You know it never. You never really know. You know, sometimes she's had to work to the wee hours in her in a long night.
Speaker 1:Yeah so we'll see. I stayed up till 1 30.
Speaker 2:I thought I was gonna be posted this morning, but I okay actually yeah yeah, I was like I have this, this thing now, where I like I go to bed early and then I kind of wake up at midnight and I'm like uh-oh, I feel wide awake and sometimes it takes me an hour or two to go back to sleep. So it's kind of this, this weird, just disjointed kind of night of sleep that I experience a lot lately. It seems fine, I feel fine during the day. I'm back to school now, yeah it wasn't a Thursday was your first day.
Speaker 2:Well, it's been all orientation, all pre-planning For you yeah, we did the kids. It was thursday, thursday, well you know it was just open house both days, so they didn't go to class.
Speaker 1:They just kind of came through with parents said hello, introduce themselves and whatever that makes it more sense, because it always really confuses me when they're starting kindergarteners out on a Wednesday. You know, like the days of the week start on a Monday. You know why don't you just start there.
Speaker 1:You know they're doing all these like we can't teach kids things in order anymore, because then kids just learn the order instead of things that we're teaching them, which isn't true, like I learned my days of the week, but I learned them Monday, tuesday, wednesday and Friday yeah, exactly, exactly, yeah, so it's.
Speaker 2:Um. So so far it's been good, like my um. You know, because this is I'm just starting this new experience here um at Gainesville High and um everybody I've met has been really friendly and yeah, so it's been really nice.
Speaker 2:It's a beautiful campus. I have this really, really nice room and I've I've set it up in a particular way that people walk in and they're like, oh, wow, this feels so. It's so funny Because I thought about. I thought about you and Taylor, because you would really appreciate this. They walk in and they say, oh, this feels so cozy and calm and I was like, yeah, it sounds that's my jam cozy and calm. So I've kind of taken some of that, that love of setting up an environment that I loved so much when.
Speaker 2:I had my cafe.
Speaker 1:It's comfortable. Yeah, it's comfortable for you, comfortable for the kids. That's what I didn't like about Midas' classroom. He's in kindergarten and they used like gray wash colors for the decorations. Walk past these other kindergarten classes that had like beautiful paper mache card, um cardboard peach tree on the wall and rainbows and all this beautiful lit up stuff, and then he'd walk into his classroom and it was like an army base camp. You know, like, like, like, like, like like the inside of a naval ship is what it looked like.
Speaker 2:Why did you so? It's. It's an individual.
Speaker 1:She was a fifth grade teacher, and then she was a third grade teacher, and then she was a first grade teacher, and then she was a kindergarten teacher. Wow, and it usually goes the other way.
Speaker 2:Usually it's like you work with the younger ones and you're like no, I want to work with older ones, older ones, older ones, Her family, her husband was a teacher at the school and her mother was in administration for like 20 years her mother-in-law.
Speaker 1:So I think it's not for her, but it's something that she can do, you know. So she didn't really care about it, like you know, like you should, especially for kindergarten you know, that's the foundation of these kids entire educational career. You know like, but it was. It was a lot of different things, you know, just a lot of different reasons why I I took them out of there it was it only a month, like maybe a little less than a month.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, but in that month he came home with fingerprints on his throat. He bruises like fingerprint bruises on his throat. He got kicked into a urinal and when he reacted to the kid he got in trouble. But they didn't ever find out why he reacted to the kid.
Speaker 1:he got in trouble, but they didn't ever find out why he reacted to the kid you know, but the kid kicked him into the urinal with his pants down, you know, and and while he was going to the bathroom. So he turned around and went to chase down the kid, but he didn't pull his pants up, you know. So he got in trouble for chasing after the kid without his pants on you know like, but they didn't say that the kid kicked him into a urinal. You know, I had to find that out from him.
Speaker 2:I mean like, wouldn't, wouldn't you want to be curious about why a boy is running down the hall after somebody with no pants you know like yeah, and he was like what the hell are you?
Speaker 1:guys, two boys but he kept getting in trouble for it so he'd have to, like, sit out or whatever. Well, then another um day he he was out on the playground and one of them pushed him down. He had, like defensive, you know, road rash on his on his face. He was bleeding on his face and his shoulder. He walked past 35 different staff members and nobody stopped this five year old because he was five at the time Nobody stopped this five year old to ask what happened, what happened to you, are you okay? Oh, let's wash that up. It still had dirt in it.
Speaker 1:Still had dirt, dirt in it, you know, still had like dirt rocks in, you know, Like I don't know, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it just kind of makes you wonder. You know what the heck is going on. Hey, taylor's with us. Taylor, we were just talking about school, you know, because I just you know I'm back, you know, and settling in at gainesville high, and I know I was talking about the um experiences of um nidus, you know. For that month for that month that he was there before she pulled him out, you know, and started homeschooling. I'm a big fan of homeschool.
Speaker 1:I think everybody should do it yeah I know you know like you can't really complain about the, about the school system, if you're not willing to. You know, so to take you know, your problems or issues into your own hands you know I understand that it's a large organization of you know lots of different people, some good, some bad.
Speaker 1:You know I don't have the ability to, you know, see into it. You know lots of different people, some good, some bad. You know I don't have the ability to, you know, see into it, you know. And so it's just not a place that I want to put my kid, and so I'm gonna. I'm gonna take him out, and I'm gonna do what I can to make sure that he's not getting kicked into a urinal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's you know that's not cool. So, no, I don't blame you. I don't blame you so, but I was telling um taylor, I was telling anokia, I was thinking about the two of you um, this week, because I had decorated my classroom in the classrooms. It's. It's a new building, so the classrooms are very nice. The whole building is very nice because it's new and the rooms are spacious and whatever. I love to hear that you're not in a portable. Oh no, I'm not in a portable and the the thing is this campus is gorgeous do?
Speaker 1:they even have portables no, no, no but you know the thing?
Speaker 2:the thing is is once I uh, once I had kind of set up and I and I kind of went real simple and I'll tell you the details. But what I was sharing with the Nokia is but people other teachers would walk into my classroom and look around and say, oh, this is so cozy and calm. I feel so calm in here and I thought about you guys, because it's like, yeah, that's kind of how I set up my cafe.
Speaker 3:How many houseplants do you have?
Speaker 2:I have five so far and see I have windows and they have these really nice windowsills. And so the first thing I thought I'm gonna put a plant on every window sill. So I went and Home Depot was having a sale, lucky me. So I picked up these really really nice plants for it, put them on the windowsill and they're they're doing great. And I also decided to go with fabric, you know. So I went to Joanne fabric, you know, for my bulletin board stuff like rather than putting it like I'm going to do fabric. You know so in our colors, our school colors are red, black and white and so those are very bold, hard colors.
Speaker 2:But I thought you know the red elephants yeah, but I said you know green, especially like an olive-ish, dark olive-ish green kind of complements red. So I I have a lot of that color in my classroom so I can accent with red. But I'm not just doing like red, red, red, because I mean like I like red. But you know like when we think about colors and I don't think like generally teachers are thinking about you know like the emotional impact of colors, but it's like I really wanted it yeah, I think they should.
Speaker 3:I agree, that should be a thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right, so so. So I did some, just really you, you would, you know, I mean, like it's one of my favorite colors, like this deep forest.
Speaker 3:You know what?
Speaker 2:I thought about it yesterday because I was thinking about you too. I was thinking about oh, I'm gonna be talking to to you, I'd love to take a picture for them, and then, of course, got caught up in a whole bunch of stuff you know, and ended up not taking a picture.
Speaker 3:I'll forget potty's a teacher and I'll call her in the middle of class.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry go ahead.
Speaker 1:I've been dreaming of those stuffed mushrooms oh yeah, you're like I was. I've been dreaming of those stuffed mushrooms, oh, yeah, you're like I was thinking about you. I was like I was thinking about you.
Speaker 3:You were thinking about those Thinking about your food. Thinking about your food.
Speaker 2:Just so people know who might be listening. I've been, you know, kind of getting into some culinary creativity and of course I'm making cheese now. And I'm also making ricotta cheese.
Speaker 3:I made butter this week as well, and so I did some stuffed mushrooms with ricotta on top and I sent these to picture of my, I just gotta keep draining out my so and I promise, when you guys yeah, when you guys come over, I'll, she said getting into her creativity and cooking like as if it was new to her, like she didn't well, she didn't um 40 different types like I'm getting into making cheeses.
Speaker 1:Meanwhile she's made ricotta, mozzarella, white cheddar.
Speaker 3:She invented 40 different flavors of veggie burgers.
Speaker 2:For those listening in case you're wondering Okay, in my defense, in my defense, it's kind of a little bit like Enoki with their music. There's like this period of like all of this stuff, and then you kind of, for whatever life circumstances, you had a baby, you're raising your son, there's all this stuff going on, and so I moved, I relocated, there are all these changes in my life and now I'm kind of and I don't own a cafe anymore, so I'm not doing things on like this bigger scale, but kind of just me and my quiet little kitchen. I'm starting to play again, right.
Speaker 2:And just like a Nokia starting to play again with her music. So I do, you know, I started being like, oh, this is a new thing for me, but I just mean like I'm kind of coming coming out again in a different way, right, in terms of and just like for you and Nokia, no key, when, when you're writing your new music, it's going to be different than the. You know it'll still be you, but it'll be like a different take on things, because a lot's happened in our lives.
Speaker 2:In life, yeah, yeah, totally so my, my form of creativity in the kitchen is taking on. You know this, this different form, different form. So I'm well, I'm all about the raw milk these days, you know, and the nutritional value, and I have to tell you that I also am going to be getting in. I have the stuff for sourdough bread making Because, listen, I've been adjusting. You know, I've had to adjust my diet.
Speaker 1:I want a little bread maker, so bad. I love making bread.
Speaker 2:Making bread right, Making your own.
Speaker 3:I love the smell of bread, but you know what?
Speaker 2:But check this out. You know how I'm doing. Like I'm going to go to the farm tomorrow and get some more milk and cream so I can make more cheese and stuff.
Speaker 1:Are you going out to Jamor or where are you going for it?
Speaker 2:No, I found a farm. I found a farm in in Dahlonega, and so I go out there and it's just a woman who sells me, you know. So it's very, it's very small scale, but this is raw milk. See, jamar doesn't sell raw milk, so you have to really look to find where you can get um raw milk for pet consumption only I'd only been to the jaymoor.
Speaker 1:That was down by tinker outlets. It was like their outlet you know I hadn't actually been up to the farm itself yet, um great place for fruits and vegetables and stuff.
Speaker 2:Every time, I think about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like everything is just going into a new season or something yeah but guess, guess what I'm?
Speaker 2:you know I'm kind of taking. So I I hadn't really been doing dairy because you know it's one of those things I eliminated because, you know, trying to address my arthritis. But I thought, okay, I'm going to go back to dairy, but I'm going to make my own and I'm going to make raw milk dairy. But I'm going to make my own and I'm going to make raw milk dairy. So any dairy that I consume is going to be dairy, that you know dairy products that I've made from raw milk. And now, with bread, I'm approaching it the same way. So I am going to be milling my own organic wheat berries berries.
Speaker 3:My old neighbor used to know his own wheat berries. His kids knew how much he loved to make bread and so they found this. I have a letter when I had the baby, when I had my last son, he made me a loaf of bread with this that he had hand ground and um, he had written a letter to me about the origin of this wheat and how historically this wheat had been pulled. I want to say I want to say it was from scotland or something, but it had been used and this particular wheat was used by, you know, presidency and by famous people and you know those, throughout the centuries. But it was the best loaf of bread I've ever had in my life.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my friend Ash makes this witch bread. She calls it witch bread. It's like a berry loaf.
Speaker 2:It's like a soft moist berry loaf. With yeast. Is it a loaf that?
Speaker 1:I don't think it rises a little bit, but it doesn't seem to really rise.
Speaker 2:It's more like a sweet bread Bread. It's like a sweet bread, like's like a sweet. Yeah, it's like a sweet bread, like a banana bread or like yeah it's pretty good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like a banana bread. It's like a banana bread, but it's but it's very um, berry based or whatever, and she puts some, some spices and stuff into it um some herbs. You know it's like really good blend of, you know, berries and and herbs you know, oh my gosh, she made it.
Speaker 1:I just had to, like you know we're talking about bread, that was really good. But when I was a kid, uh, my aunt and uncle would always make their, their loaves, or whatever. You know we never, um, you know they never really, uh, would buy bread, and so every time I go there, the house would just smell like fresh bread you know, so you know, what yeah?
Speaker 2:so. So when you guys come over, like if you come over in this in the fall, right, I was thinking I would make some soup, and then I would make, I would serve the soup with grilled cheese, with the bread that I've milled and baked myself and the cheese that I've made myself that's a grilled and and with butter that I've made myself. So you know what I mean like whoa, that's gonna be quite now.
Speaker 3:That's gonna be an experience, right, so all right, I guess I have to take a trip to Georgia. Well, I'm gonna like the worst FOMO. What a no key.
Speaker 2:And you guys call me and we're eating and I'm like yeah, yeah, but you know I have to let the cheddar age, you know, so I want to let it age. So it's got a really nice three months yeah I remember. Stop complaining, enoki I'm marking.
Speaker 1:I'm marking the days I've got it on my tongue yeah, well you know we'll be into.
Speaker 2:We'll be into soup weather by then too, you know so it'll be. It'll be awesome. Yeah, I'll do like a harvest. I know it's done.
Speaker 3:It went by so quickly there's this little portion of my tree that's already orange and I'm like no, stop it, please stop it. I I noticed that it'll be the end of october.
Speaker 1:so so we'll right, it'll be the end of october.
Speaker 2:that the cheddar's done Anytime, so we need to have a sewing Anytime in October, whenever you guys come in October, anytime in October. I'm not going to say it has to be the end or whatever, but whenever, whenever you guys can come In October.
Speaker 1:I mean, I could come anytime.
Speaker 2:I know you can. Art is like I know.
Speaker 1:He's like I'm going to come over today and I'm like I think that Patty wants me to show up. I think Patty just wants to have a spot to meet her and I think that I know she really isn't all about just dropping.
Speaker 2:I think, patty, she's saying I really want you well, you know, the is that if you came sooner, you know I can. I can serve up ricotta anytime Because I, when I make, when I make the cheddar, there's the way runoff, that's left over, which is the liquid in the pot and that's what you use to make the ricotta. So I'm always making ricotta now, so I always have ricotta on hand. So, yeah, so you could come over anytime. The ricotta is always ready, the cheddar, it needs to age. So but, taylor, what were you saying? Something about sewing, sewing.
Speaker 2:Sewing sewing, sewing, no, no. Like when you you said something about um, it has to do with coming. Like when we get together.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I said it sounds to me like a good sewing celebration.
Speaker 2:Sewing, not sewing, oh okay I was like what was that?
Speaker 1:yeah, okay, alright, I just figured out today I just figured out today that if I scooted the screen over, that I could see all of us at the same time, instead of just you talking the entire time that we've been doing the show. I've only been seeing who's talking at the moment.
Speaker 2:No, no, I have to look at all three of our faces or I can't do it no no, but if you put it's, if you go up to view and you hit gallery, you can see all of us at the same time. We don't even have to do that.
Speaker 3:All we have to do is wipe our screen because we're on the phone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just have to swipe over yeah but, I didn't know that I that I could do, that I would see people in calls doing this, you know. But yeah, I couldn't do it before yeah, no, I can see you guys.
Speaker 2:It's a whole new dynamic, yeah now I'm interrupting. I can kind of tell it's great because I see enoki.
Speaker 3:You know her, her automatic lens focus thing in and out and around, and then of course, and then, of course, taylor doesn't need it at all, because she's always moving in and out and around and twirling and spinning and flipping her hair and all of that.
Speaker 2:So there's always action and movement on the screen. And Anokhi, you could just sit there and the lens is kind of making you like.
Speaker 1:I'm still moving, but you're not feeling the whole time.
Speaker 2:It's very entertaining for me.
Speaker 1:Well, like I said, when we got on, you know, as soon as I got off the phone the other day, nida FaceTimed me, or whatever, with my sister and my sister was like whoa, what's your phone doing?
Speaker 2:And I was like what.
Speaker 1:Patty was just saying Like it's doing this like Zoom-y follow me thing, you know, but I didn't even know that it did it until Patty said that the other day. Is doing this like zoomie follow these things? You know, but I didn't even know that it did it until Patty said that the other day.
Speaker 3:I didn't even notice that. I was mesmerized by the zoom in, so while you talked, I would just be like, oh man.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you just more for my application it's just the idiot's proof way of of no, it's, it's awesome.
Speaker 2:and you know what else is awesome anoki is is every week there's like more art on your wall and you've got instruments hanging and you've got a cozy little couch in the background of this and just for folks who are listening.
Speaker 2:like you know, a Noki has this new you know this new house thing that she got a house kit a month or so ago and every week she's been working on it with her partner and so the walls have been going up, the insulation has been going in, and now she's got this. Like the first room in this space is like her, like what do you call it? Your music room?
Speaker 1:it's it's your creativity music studio slash, yeah, workout area slash. Um, I've been doing, uh, I've been doing some marketing and advertising um digital media, like, and I built a facebook profile for um fernanda for her pool company, and so I've been doing some ads. And and um, I did some flyer ads for her for the golf course in lake worth. Um, they were gonna put a banner in their big competition thing or whatever, and she bought in to sponsor some kids for it and uh, and so for a while yeah, it was like a golf course we were supposed to do a huge fundraiser and then covid happened.
Speaker 1:But I love what they do for kids at home. It makes me feel so good they do yeah you know for being, for being a poshie. You know, golf course, it's still, you know, community-based. You know, yeah, and it's Lake Worth you know it's Lake.
Speaker 2:Worth and it's like it's kind of Lake Worth is still kind of down home grassroots community. It's this very odd little place.
Speaker 1:So close to Palm Beach Island. Yeah, it's different than the rest of the.
Speaker 3:South Florida. Sorry to wake up off course for any hoodlum activities I did in my early teens.
Speaker 1:I only went. I mean I grew up around it, but I never really went out. I only went, I mean I grew up around it, but I never really went out on the golf course.
Speaker 3:I lived on 16th Avenue when my parents bought the house. So at the end of 16th Avenue, if you walk straight to the intercoastal, you hit the golf course. It's where the golf course ends.
Speaker 1:So we spent many a day, many a night yeah, you could just walk out wreaking havoc on the golf course, you know, my most memorable moment of the of the uh the lake work, golf course, was I was, uh, I was over there walking around one day or whatever, and there were like eight sets of iguanas and the iguanas were all getting it on it was like a huge iguana orgy it was like a, an iguana orgy, was it in the?
Speaker 2:it was like one of those fascinating in the parking lot.
Speaker 1:It was like they were all on the, on the. You know, yeah, the black fences at the end.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so they had to.
Speaker 1:They're right there where you pull in, there was like eight sets of iguanas getting it on.
Speaker 2:Getting it on. Well, because they wanted to be on like they wanted to be on a warm surface. You know, get those juices flowing.
Speaker 1:You know I would have told why in the parking lot. You know I would have told my sister they're doing hot yoga.
Speaker 3:They're doing hot yoga.
Speaker 2:They're doing hot yoga. Strike a pose. Yeah, so that's interesting. And iguana orgy.
Speaker 3:It's very different from my most memorable experience.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I hung out over by the amphitheater with all the rough people. I never wandered over the golf course area because golf course area I was definitely probably not supposed to really be there that's why we were there, because it was the opposite of what you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 2:You weren't playing golf, no, no.
Speaker 1:It was a period of my life where I was avoiding any interactions that I could with any law enforcement officers.
Speaker 3:I did once fight a girl and throw her skateboard into the lake. Why, well, first of all, she deserves to get her ass beat and, secondly, she, at the time she had um in my eyes, um stolen my boyfriend I felt like this was a boyfriend thing girls are the worst when it comes to fights.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's what they say at the high school too. Oh my God Girl fights are the worst.
Speaker 3:Girl fights are the worst.
Speaker 2:So you were fighting over a boy.
Speaker 3:We fought over a boy. Yeah, she was, she was a hoe. I mean, she was like the girl that surfed with the song Bathing Suit and we were all like you don't even have to do that to be cool out here. Like my dad was the top notch, like kahuna, of surfing. I knew I didn't have to put a strong bathing suit on to look good out there or be respected or whatever. You know what I mean. So for us of you know us girls who were out to surf, to really surf, we were like bro, what are you doing? Like we, we didn't already?
Speaker 1:like nobody had respect for her anyways, because you're not trying to serve, you're just trying to be baywatch.
Speaker 3:You're just trying to be a hot ass bitch on a surfboard and I hope you get. I hope you get bored. I don't do one. No, yeah, I hope you get board rash on your butt, cheeks, okay, anyways.
Speaker 2:Sorry, katie Spinelli, for all that and I'm sorry about your alien surf skateboard that I threw in the lake For the alligators.
Speaker 3:That was my G-rated version of the golf course.
Speaker 1:Dave, yeah, I also got into a fight with a girl one time over stealing a boyfriend. It was my first boyfriend ever and we were only dating for like five minutes. You know, we were at a birthday party or whatever, and this girl, you know, at the time she was like being really attentiony. You know, at the time she was like being really attentiony you know and like like instigating.
Speaker 1:You know all these comparative, you know teenage things or whatever. Like I hate that stuff with teenagers. You know whatever it's like comparing and being competitive and like knocking each other down for no reason at all you know like it, one that's a trigger thing for me.
Speaker 1:You know it's, it's tyranny and tyranny is like my biggest trigger. So so you know she's kind of being like a tyrant, you know, and and and um, I went to go inside to grab some food or something. I came out and she was like trying to make out with him, trying to kiss him or whatever by the fence and like, like. He was like trying to like, be like you know, like because like I don't think was like super into her or something, or they had already dated, you know and
Speaker 1:uh, I don't know what happened in my brain, but I was like fuck that, you know, and she's standing next to the six foot privacy fence, all right, and she's probably five, four, five, five at the time, you know, and I'm probably about five, six or five, eight, you know, and I just took my foot and put it straight through the fence right next to her head, like I kicked the fence out right here, and was like what the fuck are you doing? Oh, my goodness, she turned ghost white, peed her pants and ran away from the party and I didn't know her or talk to her ever again, because she was in tamarack and that was in coral springs you know area you know and uh, and then, and then later on, like when we hit because this was like sixth grade, you know this was like 11 13 somewhere between then and I.
Speaker 3:I get to high school and all my friends were mall rats, you know, and I wasn't really a mall rat because I didn't have enough money to be hanging out tell me you're a 90s kid without being a 90s kid, and being a mall rat literally meant sitting on the wall outside of the mall, outside smoking cigarettes by the buses yeah, that was, that was I, was that kind of mall rat, I wasn't, you know the inside shopper.
Speaker 2:Let's go to the food court.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was like I was like, let's go to the food court and see how long it takes for them to kick us out, you know, because they'd be like we already gave you a free sample. Get out of here. I'd be like, but if I just go around two more times I might be full Like I don't know, but what's it called. So later on, all my friends are at the mall being mall rats, and she was one of the inside food court mall rats, you know, but got into like the goth groups and and and and we became friends later on or whatever, and I apologize for kicking you know the board right out next to her face and making her feel like I said you
Speaker 2:murder her you know, you know I probably overreacted.
Speaker 1:I didn't even remember his name by that point.
Speaker 2:You know I never, I never fought over a boy. I wasn't really that interested, I guess. But um like I had, like my, my experience. I feel almost embarrassed because my experience with um like fights and near fights or anything like that. So I don't know if it's a generational thing, you know, whatever, no, it's no, it's definitely a cultural thing, it's a generational thing, you know whatever?
Speaker 2:no, it's no it's definitely a cultural thing. It's a cultural thing because, like, well, we I mean like there were fights that happened and um, I remember the, the, the um closest I got to um getting into a fight was in junior high when, um, for some reason, uh, leisha this I'm not going to say her last name, but Leisha, who was a girl in the junior she's in my class our last names were only one letter apart and so we always were, we always sat next to each other, but Leisha had the largest breast in the whole junior high and the smallest Isn't this in one of the books? Yeah and the smallest waist. Like she was like, you know, like you couldn't help but like make your eyes go wide when you looked at Leisha. All right, so all of the girls hated her, the boys, all the boys just ogled her, and even the teachers the male teachers and Leisha, for some reason, decided to be my friend and I was like her friend. It's like okay, yeah, we'll be friends.
Speaker 2:I was, I was very quiet, I was actually painfully shy when, when I was, when I was that age and and just kind of like into sports, you know, like I played soccer and whatever, but like I was very much to myself and but Leisha really liked me and we kind of we we hung out, but the closest I got to getting in a fight was defending Leisha. You know like people came after me because I was defending Leisha and I think that she was really grateful that I kind of stood up for her. All five foot one of me. You know, I didn't. You know I mean I was really strong, but still, you know, I wasn't really a fighter. I mean, the only time in my life I threw a punch, literally, and this is embarrassing, all right. So this is, this is really embarrassing.
Speaker 2:I am in fifth grade, going into sixth grade, I'm at summer camp Girl Scout, like Girl Scout camp, and it's a two week away camp and I have the middle bunk there are five bunks in the tent that I'm in and my breasts had started to develop, but I didn't wear a bra, not even a trainer bra, because I hated them. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even, I wouldn't even. I resisted getting a bra until my mother literally dragged me to Marshall's one day and said you're getting a bra, I hate it, I just never wanted. I felt like that was a form of surrender surrender to the fact that I had, at any rate. So I have these, these budding breasts, and none of the other girls in my, you know, in my little tent or you know, had breasts in my, you know, and mine came out pretty, I mean, like they were, you know, they were pretty good size.
Speaker 2:And this one girl I never forget her name was Crystal, and one morning she kind of said, hey, you know, I turned around to her and she grabbed my right breast and squeezed it really, really hard and I think, like what you're like trying to figure, like see if, like, it was real or something, and it hurt so bad that I blindly, you know, in my rage, I just threw a punch at her and I hit her in the hip the only punch I've ever thrown in that crystal, when I was 11.
Speaker 2:So I'm an embarrassment when it comes to fighting, but I would, you know, I would, I would posture like it was interesting, because you can posture like you're going to fight and people like, oh no, I'm not going to mess with her. But if they only knew that I couldn't throw, you know, I couldn't throw a punch so often, like later on, when I would stand up to bullies or whatever, and and look them in the eye, you know, and be like courageous, like that they would step down because they're like, oh yeah, she must. You know, she must really be a badass. And honestly, I wasn't, I was a fraud, you know. Fighter like I couldn't you know make it.
Speaker 2:I mean I wouldn't have been able. I could, I could wrestle and I was really strong, but like throwing a punch, no, I was terrible. It's terrible, just I couldn't fight at all.
Speaker 3:I became known as a bully, but as a defensive bully like I, I did not. The majority of fights that I got into which there was for plentiful in my middle school years um, it was a lot of you know, um societal bullshit, like you can't hang out with them because you're the wrong color or whatever, like it was a lot of shit like that. And um, I was always defending the little guy and so a lot of times I would get in fights. It was, it was not even my fight, yeah, um, but there was one time in particular I had been sent back. You know, I had.
Speaker 3:I had a really troubled life at that time and my mom was using and I stopped caring and stopped doing my schoolwork and failed the sixth grade. So the next year they put me in dropout prevention and like two weeks in, the teachers went to the administration and was like she can belong here, put on a contract to go back to seventh grade. She didn't miss anything last year. So they put me on a contract and they said as long as you don't fuck up, you can stay in seventh grade. And I was like awesome, I promise, and I had been such a good kid. Honestly, my grades were great. I had straight A's, I hadn't gotten any fights and my best friend had had her appendix removed and she had come back to school.
Speaker 3:And these girls that didn't like us, they knew it and they caught me outside of the gym before we got into the locker room and they pulled me back by my hair to the ground and I didn't even know who it was because it was from behind. So I turned around and just started hitting people and blessed I'm so sorry, ms Henderson my my pe teacher was a paraplegic, so I looked at her like what the fuck are you gonna do? And I took off. And I took off into the locker room. But when I got into the locker room my girl d was on the ground and there was a group of about six to eight girls kicking her in the stomach and all I thought was like they're gonna kill my friend. She just had surgery. They don't know that.
Speaker 3:You know like this is how people die in a fight yeah and I blacked out and all I could think was um, go under your locker. And so I took my locker lock and I just started hitting girls and bopping girls in the head until they broke the fight up. But I was absolutely 100% sent back to sixth grade and repeated the grade all over again to learn the lesson.
Speaker 1:Um, but I would do it again tomorrow to defend my friend yeah, I I grew up, um, I was really bullied Like everybody picked on me. I was very fit and really really you know active and stuff, but I just couldn't fit into any group, you know. And so any group that would take me I would you know go with. And a lot of my best friends were really really, really mean, like really, really mean.
Speaker 2:To you or to others? To me, oh to you.
Speaker 1:To me all the time I was like that girl, you know, behind one other girl and like, literally like my best friend at the time, she'd like hit me. You know and call me, you know stupid or point out, you know my anything that I had going on or how I didn't have boobs, or you know how this or that you know in front of people. You know, everybody in the neighborhood called me dirty foot or black foot because I ran around with no shoes on um which I thought was funny because I'm a nation, so anyway.
Speaker 1:Um, they used to call me I don't know anyway, but, um but. But I was desperate for like human interaction, so I just take it. You know, I just take anything that they give me, just to be around them you know, and I've always I still I'm very much that person to my friends, you know. But you know we all have our things. You know, for me I have like an extreme, you know, want to be a part of the people that I care about.
Speaker 1:I don't need like a million people, I just want the people that I have to be close to, you know yeah um and and so so, for like 10 years maybe, maybe eight, eight years, um, every day just berated me, just sort of hurt me, you know, pushed me around. I let her hit me all the time, you know like, and I never said anything. I just was so afraid, you know, to ever have a real fight with her.
Speaker 1:You know that I wouldn't have her in my life you know, and one day, you know, it had been almost a decade, you know, and I'm like, I'm, like you know, sitting there and and I don't know what happened, you know, but she said something really really bad. It was like really bad timing on something like I was already going through some stuff at home and then we went to go hang out and then something happened, and I don't even remember why, but I turned around and I couldn't hit her in the face, you know, or anything, because I loved her so much, I had so much love for her, you know. So I just turned and I just hit her in the arm and I hit her in the arm so hard that she fell over and passed out, like from the surprise of being hit. She literally did Like I had to pick her up off the ground.
Speaker 1:You know, she looked up at me and she's like, oh my God, you could have killed me. What, how, how, how come you let me hit you for all this? How come? You know? And we went through this whole moment, you know, or she literally asked me how could you let me treat you like that for this long? And you could have killed me this whole time, you know, and I just looked at her and I was like, because I love you, because I, because I would do anything for our friendship, because I have you know, like, but but we're getting older now and I can't, you know, either we're going to be friends or we're not going to be friends, but you're not going to be able to say things like that, you know, and break me as a person every day. You know, like, boost me up, I boost you up every day, everywhere we, we go, you know, boost me up, you know, and so, like that.
Speaker 1:At that point, you know, it became like a turning point in who I was as a person, you know, because then somebody knew that I could really hurt you know, and then I knew, you know, that I could, could really hurt people, but I didn't want to ever, you know, like, like, but we would, we would like line up, uh, we'd rope out boxing rings in the neighborhood, you know, and uh, and and we'd go to go, you know, box or whatever. And uh, I was only allowed to box the boys because, because every time I boxed the girls, um, it was a one-hit knockout, and most of the time that I hit the boys, it was a one-hit knockout, you know so. So like I got this reputation for being this like really tough, you know person and I did embrace that for a little while, you know, but like my, my aggressiveness, um, is only a direct result of some form of tyranny you know, or some form of of defending somebody who can't you know yeah, like I had a
Speaker 1:ex-girlfriend and we were walking down in young circle, hollywood, in the middle of the night, you know. And uh, this back before I quit drinking. You know, we're both really, really drunk, you know. But like we're walking and this guy comes up, or whatever, with a cup of beer, a homeless dude, you know, he's got a cup of beer, he should be happy. You know, like I don't know what his issue was, but he came up and like, started to like, push her or whatever, and then started yelling at her and I don't know what happened in my head. I just like, like we were outside, there was a starbucks there and they had these big patio loungers outside of the Starbucks down in Young Circle, and I picked up an entire Chase Lounge and threw it at him and I like smushed him with a Chase Lounge and and then poured, like somehow he fell and still didn't spill the beer, but I grabbed the beer out of his hand and, like, dumped it all over him, you know it was like now.
Speaker 1:Whatever your stupid you know thing was, you lost, you know, your your one prize possession for the moment. You know, like, like you know and I didn't continue or anything you know, but like I, I he was pushing her and yeah, you, just, you just stopped him you just stopped him in his tracks. Yeah, and then what about my?
Speaker 2:day? Yeah, well, um, I you know I don't. I don't want us to run out of time, so I am going to um ask taylor. Well, do you want to pull a card today, taylor, from your deck? I, okay, are we going to do the medicine cards today, or are? We going to do I have Jamie Sam's medicine cards out today you know, I think they are my favorite and I showed you I had pulled my totems.
Speaker 3:Yeah so Jamie Sam's is so funny, like her, it's so funny the way that she comes through very synchronistic, not funny, um, how she comes through and with death. So I did a reading the other day for a close friend of mine for her birthday and, um, there's a couple animals that she has this depth of fear for oh interesting and when she, when she started pulling cards, we were pulling for her totems, which is funny because we had all just had that discussion.
Speaker 3:So she was pulling nine cards and I told her when she was done, I said I have a feeling that I've followed the author of these cards for a long time and I've also asked her to come through the cards with messages. And I want to forewarn you the card with messages, and I want to forewarn you, um, there's gonna be a couple animals in here that you might not resonate with completely, um and and sure enough yeah yeah yeah, that's awesome, so it was really funny.
Speaker 3:Um she was, she was in over it. She was like are you kidding me? She's like I can't even look at it.
Speaker 2:It was the whale, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think that it's the grandiose largeness of the whale. It's frightening. It's frightening.
Speaker 2:Well, all right, so we're going to. So, as always, at the end of our, at the end of our stream, we pull a card asking for you know what, for the best guidance moving into the next week or weeks ahead. And you know what, what, what could, what card would be the most inspirational for us? And so we're going to. So taylor's gonna pull a card with that. Regarding, you can ask jamie sams to kind of come through and um and see like what, what card is going to be the, the inspiration for us this week?
Speaker 1:So, Uh-oh, blinkity, blink, blink A butterfly, it's the butterfly.
Speaker 2:That's a beautiful card.
Speaker 3:Considering we just had a conversation about who we were as very young women.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's really beautiful that we pulled the butterfly, because we all know the butterfly represents the cycle of transformation and it correlates to the four directions and every direction has a purpose right. So from there we go. Butterfly that flutters in the morning light. You have known many forms before you are a twelfth flight. The power of transformation, I'm sorry. The power of transformation, I'm sorry. The power of butterfly to us is akin to the air. It is the mind and the ability to know the mind or to change it. It is the art of transformation.
Speaker 3:To use butterfly medicine, you must astutely observe your position in the cycle of self-transformation. Like butterfly, you are always at a certain station in your life activity. You may be at the egg stage, which is the beginning of all things. This is the stage at which an idea is born but has not yet come to reality. The larva stage is the point at which you decide to create the idea in the physical world, which you decide to create the idea in the physical world. The cocoon stage involves going within, doing or developing your project, idea or aspect of your personality. The final stage of transformation is leaving the chrysalis and birth. The last steps involve sharing the color and joy of your creation with the world.
Speaker 3:If you look closely at what Butterfly is trying to teach, you will realize that it is a never-ending cycle of self-transformation. Way to discern where you are in the cycle is to ask yourself is this the egg stage? Is this a thought or idea? Is this the larva stage? Do I need to make a decision? Is this the cocoon stage? Am I developing and doing something to make my life a reality? Is this the birth stage? Am I sharing my completed idea? By asking yourself these questions, you will discover how Butterfly is relating to you in this moment. When you understand where you are, the symbol can teach you what to do next and continue in your cycle of self-transformation. If you have found the position through which you are cycling, you will see the creativity of Butterfly.
Speaker 3:Using the air or mental powers of this medicine is done with ease. As an example, if you've been feeling exhausted or you have asked how to heal your fatigue, take notice of the colors you've been drawing to recently. Does your body feel better and green? Could this mean you need to eat more green vegetables? This is the type of thinking this is butterfly medicine. Butterfly can give clarity to the mental process, help you organize projects you are undertaking and assist you in finding the next step in your personal life or career. The main message to be obtained from drawing the symbol is that you are ready to go through some type of transformation. Is that?
Speaker 3:you are ready to go through some type of transformation.
Speaker 1:I have a feeling. I feel like there's a couple of tools. You know that I will pull out when I'm feeling a little like I need a reset you know, and it's funny that this would be the case with everything today, because I just pulled out my body's light book by dr lee makers and I love this book. Like this book is amazing. There's a lot of different, like breath techniques and you know just different journey things.
Speaker 1:There's a mantra in here that they do in seven different ways, you know, or like eight different ways. It's really awesome, but it's called the bodies of light or whatever, and basically it's like inviting light into every part of of you, every cell, every atom, every breath, everything you know, just bringing it all together to one, breaking it all down until you can focus on that nothingness inside of your atom you know and, and I love this book, I love this mantra, I love the fact that they did it in so many different ways.
Speaker 1:They made it you know, so that you could do it with you know, Yahweh, you could do it with God. You could do the universe, you could do creator, you know you can put it into.
Speaker 1:You know just about anything that you'd like to focus your energy into manifesting as whatever your divine interaction is. Yeah, but because it's focusing on your body and your energy, you know, and that energy, you know. Everybody has a different name for what they call that energy. You know, and I love how this book expands into all of that yeah, it's all inclusive, you know it's. It's not, you know, really religious, but it's. It's divine at the same time you know, exclusive either and then.
Speaker 1:And then there's this thing called the cue, you know. So you can do this mantra and do it three times, and then you can do the cue like seven times or whatever which is like a shorter expansion of this, you know, and just the buzz you get after going through it, you know, is amazing, like you can feel it, you know, on that cellular level.
Speaker 1:So, like I don't know, like I'm looking at it and I pulled, it out and I was going to do the Bodies of Light and the Q you know later on today.
Speaker 1:But if you haven't checked out that book or Dr Lee Victor's, I haven't been able to find it online, you know anywhere and it could be like it was like a really good book he wrote and then he might have gone in a different direction or something you know. Um, like, you know, because sometimes that happens in the spiritual community you know people have like these amazing moments of the universe and they do something incredible. You know that is, that is amazing and purposeful, and then there's, you know, some sort of distortion after that becomes successful, you know and you've seen it happen a lot.
Speaker 2:It happens, yeah, it happens in our lives.
Speaker 1:I did try to look him up online. I couldn't really find him online anywhere any of this stuff. You know, and I've got a- signed book here, like I've got a signed book with his phone number interesting.
Speaker 3:Maybe you should call. I don't know, I always thought about it.
Speaker 1:You know, like, but but no, I, uh, I, I I think the book is a useful tool and I'm pulling it out and I think it's transformative tool and it's a real good way to get back in sync with, like, your creative energy or whatever energy you're trying to manifest.
Speaker 2:Well, I think that's what.
Speaker 2:That, that's what we're all finding is like whatever tool of transformation is going to work for us.
Speaker 2:So you've found, you know, kind of gone back to this book that has been so instrumental for you and now it's probably coming back to it, it there's a whole new level of transformative power in it for you. And I think, like we are all like, you know, returning to the music that you know you've written, returning to the kitchen and doing my creative stuff. You know, all of us are kind of circling, you know, circling around and finding the most, the most powerful transformative tool for us right now, because I actually think, like on an individual and collective basis, we are going through perhaps one of the greatest transformations in human history and um, and it's it's crazy and it's chaotic and it's uncertain in a lot of ways, and the most important thing for first for us to do, in my opinion, is to go inward and find those tools at best help us go through our own individual transformation. And you know, and then it radiates out. So, I don't know, I think butterfly is is like perfect for um, yeah and yeah, yeah and and like, like, like.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that's exactly where I'm trying to hit on what's, what's talking about this I mean this this book has been eight degrees of wandering, homeless, you know, and it has given me light in really dark places and some of my humblest moments I had this book in my hand. You know that, that, that you know, I feel like, you know, and it's and it's and it's made it through, you know, even though it's in rough shape, you know, when you open the pages, the pages are still real nice, you know, and everything. So it it weathered and went through.
Speaker 2:You know things, things with me, you know, in times where I needed to work on me, yeah, Well, you know, the interesting thing to Anoki is like, when you were homeless, that book was, you know, an important tool for your transformation during that time. And circling back now as somebody who is, you know, literally sitting in the home that you are creating for yourself on your own property, is a very different moment in your life, and that book is still a an important tool, but a tool that will help you perhaps in some different ways.
Speaker 1:You need to grow? Yeah, absolutely. You're just in a very different place. Growing materialistically isn't a point of like, it's how to stay. You know to stay light, focused and humble, no matter where you're at you know, yeah, but there's a lot you know.
Speaker 2:I mean the importance of home, you know so the importance of home.
Speaker 1:I don't think is bringing that light into the home now that you know, yeah, but exactly because, like, whatever I have going on is what this is going to reflect.
Speaker 2:You know, your home is your building it your home is is a reflection of you, and so you're bringing light into. It's interesting that you're saying that, because I'm looking at you and right behind you, taylor, do you see this, that shaft of light coming through the window? It's kind of interesting. So, um, taylor, do any final words for you? That was, I think butterfly is perfect. I'm so glad.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just have a little epiphany, as I was listening to Anokhi and you know I've known Anokhi for going on I guess a decade now. Yeah, yeah, fucking crazy. But I'm listening to you say all of that right, and knowing how far you've come. It makes me think about, like do we really take inventory on how far we've come? Yeah, and are we too humble to be like you fucking did this, yeah, like I did this for myself, like look how fucking far I've come. So when we're looking at the butterfly right and we've got these wet wings right and the color's so bright and we haven't flown yet, say whatever, but like do we think about when we were in egg or when we were crawling up that fucking leaf and we never thought we were going to get, you know, to the end of it, or we never thought that this chrysalis was going to open? Mm-hmm, do we give ourselves enough credit? Because as I listened to Inoki, I thought man Inoki's been around the butterfly transformation for a long time.
Speaker 1:We gotta remember that we all are in a butterfly garden. Anybody that does gardening knows that. When you see, you know, everybody thinks a butterfly is a solitary. When you see, you know, everybody thinks the butterfly is a solitary. You know, creature, you know. But if you look at caterpillars in a garden and and you've got like a bunch of things you know, vegetables or whatever, if you notice, it's always one plant that all the caterpillars are.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, and they're all going through these years, just so we all get to go through these together. You know, and part of the beauty is seeing it in ourselves and part of the beauty is having others there to help you along the way to see the beauty that you're, you're becoming. You know, because change of any kind you know seem, you know, non-existent to yourself.
Speaker 2:You just don't even know. You don't know.
Speaker 1:It's with your interactions with the things around you that you realize that you're changing. Yeah, it's very hard to measure that I couldn't have gone through or done any of the things that I've gone through or done without you or Patty's support and love. And you know, I hope that I can only support and love you guys in all of your endeavors, you know and it is a beautiful process of us all being a butterfly garden. You know being a butterfly garden. You know, butterfly ball to be a garden.
Speaker 2:That's right. I wanted to just mention, just before we let it go, that you know I just wanted to give a gentle reminder to Taylor that you it has been an Anoka You're going to agree with me on this what an amazing transformation you have been through in the last 10 years that we've known you, and what an amazing mother you have been through in the last 10 years that we've known you, and what an amazing mother you are to those four boys, and how, how you've gone through this whole.
Speaker 1:Now you, you know you it's only made you brighter and stronger and more fluid and and the things that you're, you know, sharing with others and teaching others through your struggles too.
Speaker 2:It's is really amazing yeah, the whole you know going through, going through um, having a son who you know, who had, who survived cancer, and the whole transformation, not only for up for you but your entire family.
Speaker 1:But you were and how you were holding up all the other things too, but you were, you know you held it up. Yeah, you were, you were just walking the halls and you were being you're. You're doing the same thing for everyone there.
Speaker 2:Definitely a point of, a point of light, a point of light there, definitely, and it's just amazing. Like you know, watching all of that over the years has been um, has been just awe-inspiring.
Speaker 2:So I I feel awed by yeah by both of you and I think if you look at the three of us, you see that we've had our towering towering down moments where we've lost everything and we've built and we've built back up and we've gone through our own transformations and, yeah, yeah, I think that's something that we we have in common and, um, you know, it is really kind of just the part of the cement that holds our relationship together as we, we see what the what we've all been through and we've been there.
Speaker 2:We've been there to support each other. So I think that's what people need in their lives. If there are people like, if you have people like this in your life, hold, hold them close, hold them dear, nurture those relationships and those relationships that are not you know, that are, that are not holding you up and not supporting your transformation. Because a lot of times, people don't want us to go through our transformations because it means, well, maybe it reflects that they need to, they have to go through their own transformations, or maybe it means that they're afraid that they're going to lose us, and so sometimes people are not supportive of our, of our process, of our transfer formative process. So it's a it's a time where we have to look around and take inventory.
Speaker 1:I can hold your hand, you know, but if you're going to be self destructive and you want to run into a building that's about to explode, yeah, I'm gonna let go, yeah, you know, and I'll love you from here, my love won't change. You know, feelings never ever change. New ones come about, you know, and you can love somebody a hundred times in life. You know, and you can have moments where you can love them, but you don't have to be there with them.
Speaker 2:You know, sometimes you have to just separate and go in Well, like you with that, that, that friendship that you had when you were younger, you wouldn't have friendships like that. Now you know, you kind of went through that and you grew from that, where you don't have friendships, where you're, you know that's not, that's not something that can exist in your life anymore, because I'll tell you I am still friends with that person and I love her still to this day.
Speaker 1:And you know what? She never, ever ever treated me poorly after that day.
