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
Morning Rituals, Irish Warmth, and the Magic of Handwritten Letters
Imagine starting your day with a heartfelt "hiya" or "hi, love"—simple words that can elevate your energy and set a positive tone for the entire day. Join Patti, Anoki, and Taylor as we share the delightful story of an Irish woman whose uplifting greetings inspired us to reflect on morning rituals and the emotional connections they create. Taylor opens up about a powerful interaction with a colleague named Simone, reminding us of the magic that meaningful conversations can bring to our daily lives.
Ever wondered how friendships form and grow in new environments? Patti shares a story about fostering new bonds through shared interests and holistic practices when she meets Kelly, a former college professor who now teaches at her high school. Hear about her adventures in milling flour, cheese-making, and exploring historical sites in North Georgia, all while building a supportive community with her new colleague. This episode celebrates the camaraderie and enduring impact of dedicated educators like Patti and the inspirational Toni Pilla, who leave lasting impressions on their students.
We also take a deep dive into the art of persuasive writing and the beauty of handwritten letters, exploring how these forms of communication foster trust and respect in relationships. Reflect on the universal presence of the shaman archetype, the significance of genetic memory in our healing journeys, and the power of frequencies in healing. As we wrap up, we touch on the fascinating distractions of technology, sharing laughs and expressions of love and appreciation for each other, making this episode a beautiful blend of nostalgia, inspiration, and personal growth.
Good morning. Hi I'm hearing we, we are live and good morning. It is Sunday morning and hello to anybody who might be joining us. I'm Patty, with Patty Talks Too Much, and I am here with my dear friends Anoki and Taylor, and, you might have already guessed, we have been really yacking it up this morning. It's a chattery morning, so, at any rate. So thank you for joining us, thank you for joining the chatter. I think it's going to be a wild one Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm mm-hmm, gonna.
Speaker 2:I think it's gonna be a wild one. I've got so much to talk about, so I hope you guys have time for my chatter today.
Speaker 2:First and foremost, since we started off with good morning. I want to speak on this little irish fairy of a woman that I've come across on the internet and she was discussing the verbiage in which we are just our language, you know and, um, how to raise our vibrations when we speak. And she said the coolest thing at the beginning of the podcast you know we were discussing. She was discussing, um, good morning and all the ways in which we start so low, right, hell, hell, low. They're both very low words and so her way to greet people in the morning is hi-ya. And then her little Irish accent was so precious because she was saying higher and it immediately was like a vibrational raise, like what a beautiful way to greet somebody in the morning.
Speaker 2:Hi I love is what she says, hi I love. So I'm literally saying higher love as a greeting instead of good morning or hello. It's just really interesting. And she went on to say a few other terms in which I can't remember off the top of my head, but they were things that you say every day.
Speaker 1:I always loved good morning, but it's because of the way my mom would say it right and it's like the way that I say it too, and and my mom would come in in the morning in the calmest voice on on the face of the planet and she'd walk up to my bed and she'd go good morning, good morning, I mean, and just that tone you know like the way that's your association.
Speaker 1:I mean, it was almost like I would wake up with this, like tingle in my whole body, like my whole body would feel her say good morning. And I and I knew that we were gonna like get up and go outside and sit outside until the sun rose, or I knew that we were going to go downstairs and she was going to make some special little breakfast and I was going to sit at the counter in front of her and we were going to interact, you know, and it was like I don't know, I guess, like you know, just saying all that you know just now, like I mean, well, it was magic.
Speaker 2:It was all love and magic that, yeah, so your association with that yeah, so your association for me love and magic yeah, and the beginning, the beginning.
Speaker 1:You know the the morning was the beginning of the day, and it was like the best part of the day and it had that golden hour, sunrise, beautiful bonding time with my mom. You know every day that reminds me of beach mornings. Yeah, like we connected so hard in the morning, the cooler's packed.
Speaker 2:We're on our way Before the sun rises.
Speaker 1:we're at the beach waiting for the sun.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there was something about that.
Speaker 2:Some of the best days of my childhood.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for the sun. Yeah, there was something. There was something. Some of the best days of my childhood, yeah, yeah, you know, when I had a good, you know positive, like the fresh, happy, you know light filled start to something beautiful, beginning is what I, yeah, yeah you know so it's just your.
Speaker 3:So good morning has a whole unique meaning to you, and it's not a low vibration. It's now hello, love and magic.
Speaker 1:Yeah now hello. I've always found to be a. It can really be an impersonal greeting.
Speaker 3:It's more formal.
Speaker 1:You can look at somebody and be like hello. It doesn't mean the same thing as hello. The delivery of your hello is very, very important. I never really liked that it can be cold. It can be cold yeah.
Speaker 3:Hello, can feel cold, mm-hmm. I just thought hiya, hiya, love, it was so great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it can feel like answering a question was okay, like just okay, you know, or just okay in a text. Yeah, I'm that guy guy. You know, if you send me k or okay, I, I think something is yeah is wrong. It's like, yeah, I sent you three sentences in one blank white, you know you're not okay, yeah, give me something, something else there send a period if you need help. I'm not a cut and dry individual. I need some elaboration.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you guys tell me if you have been this week feeling a shift in your intuitive senses.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, have y'all been feeling that.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, have y'all been feeling? Oh yeah, I've been feeling good and I've been feeling more connected and I feel like I've been delivering meaningful statements and impactful interactions with people around me.
Speaker 2:so I want to share the story that happened at work. Sorry to interrupt you, enoki, you want to finish?
Speaker 1:your time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, no, that was it I was so excited to share the story so you know I was asked to continue to be's, like you know, this amazon of a woman, just big, burly voice, and her name is simone, which you know enoki was saying before the podcast.
Speaker 2:That's such a strong name she's a very strong woman and very good of heart, but she gets down. You know, we all get down on ourselves. So, um, I get to work. The other day and she was just like man, this is just taylor is just gonna be one of those shifts and I just don't know how I'm gonna do it and I need to make some money tonight. And I touched her and I said, sim, one table is going to come in here and change your night tonight. I said how much money do you need to make? She said, taylor, I need $200. And I said, simone, you're going to make $200 tonight off one table, do you trust me? And she said, yes, I do, I do, you're right, you're right, you're right, I'm just going to be positive, okay.
Speaker 2:So halfway through the night I had been double sat with a table that requested me and so I said Simone, take that five top, just come in. And it was a table where there were special needs children and they needed, you know, extra leavens at the table and that's Simone's made for that. So, anyways, at the end of all of this you know, dining experience for these folks I hear Simone, whoo, she gets excited, she does this, she does this, and the whole restaurant, like everybody at the bar will. Just, it's hysterical. You got to be there for it and she's just so. Her energy is so strong, you know, and, um, I'll be damned if she didn't walk up to me and start crying.
Speaker 2:And she held out her hand and she held in her hand $200 bills and she said Taylor, what are you some kind of spiritual? How did you do that?
Speaker 3:And I said no.
Speaker 2:Simone, you did that Because you believed in it, just like that. I said you see, how powerful manifestation is, and it was such a beautiful lesson and the second time that the universe has allowed me to show her that. So she's like I don't know what you are. You're some kind of I don't know, you're some kind of witch. A manifester.
Speaker 1:A manifester, a manifester kind of I don't know, you're some kind of witch a manifest, or yeah, but that was a manifest this shit that was.
Speaker 2:That was co-manifested because you gave her that table I gave it to her and she knew I did and it was really, really beautiful it's so it was just. It was a lesson for me too, Like maybe I needed to remember like we are all powerful. We are all so powerful that you can speak it and then you can literally fucking watch it happen before your eyes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Well, it also it also involves, like I think that manifestation is most powerful when it's done cooperatively with good intention, yes, of course, but when people are the intention sets it all.
Speaker 1:The intention sets it all.
Speaker 2:You know for sure it was powerful as fuck. I was surprised. I mean, I knew that, that the possibility was there. But when it actually happened and I realized that it was literally verbatim when I spoke to her, it was we were both.
Speaker 3:We both just stood there like whoa and she's like you're some kind of magic or something but you know we all are baby, we all are and you know, manifesting something like that is, um, I mean, like one of the most powerful things in manifestation is the emotional component you know, so our emotions turbo charge, our manifestations, and Simone has, you know, very, you know, strong, strong emotions and strong intention.
Speaker 3:So it's really, you know I don't know if she'll ever really acknowledge that, because she may be more religiously oriented and so she thinks about things more religiously, but it was, you know, clearly. I mean. So, basically, what you, what you did, was you allowed her to manifest what she needed. Do you know what I mean? You allowed the manifestation and you, kind of like you organize the environment for the manifestation to happen, so the table, giving her the table and assuring her and everything. But you know, so Simone might defer to you, but she did all the work. Yep, she did it. You know, what you did was recognize the possibility.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and make her recognize the possibility Exactly and make her recognize the possibility exactly and make her recognize the possibility, and so her despair at the beginning of the shift turned into hope and excitement.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hope and excitement too. So yeah, and so when she got, that table.
Speaker 3:She probably knew she was in her element too, like there was probably a sense that it was a group. It was meant to be.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was meant to be. No, there's a lot of portions to it. But you know, yeah, I think the empathy you know forces, you know that that will and desire and want to heal that you know and I think that that's one of the most powerful you know, seeing somebody and just wishing better for them good for them, yeah that's even more powerful than wanting it for yourself. Yeah, no strings attached.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, it gives me goosebumps, literal goosebumps right because for that woman yeah, and because that's how it was wholeheartedly like whoosh, yes, yeah absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 3:But you know it is true, what goes out comes round. So you orchestrated, like you created an environment for that powerful manifestation to happen for her, so that energy has gone out and she's gotten it and and it will come back to you in some form, in other words, you know, and you've seen this. Yeah, you've seen this always, always, always. You know there's this. It's interesting because I'm, I'm, um, I'm at this school of 2300 do you like your?
Speaker 3:new school. There are some things I like and there are some things I find really challenging. So there's, it is not as, even though it's like this really great building, it's not really that organized. There are things that fall through the cracks. There are things that they are really focused on, and then you look at other things and you're like they really should be focused on that, because that's really what I mean. You just got to see these things. And then, of course, there's always the big component. Well, you know, part of it is getting to know my students and my students getting to know me, and that has been overall, good, but there have been some interesting challenges in that. And then there's the staff and there's like who who will be? Will I have acquaintances here? Will I have people that I can?
Speaker 2:talk to.
Speaker 3:So there's this woman. There's this woman across the hall. Yeah, Her name is Kelly and she actually came to the school because her daughter also is teaching at the school, and now Kelly has taught on the college level for like 20 years and decided to come into I know and decided to come into the high schools.
Speaker 1:Um, and partly, yeah, she's. She is a teacher, she's going to expect a lot from those kids.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yes, in a way, um, uh, but you know, so she's meeting with her challenges and so when I meet with challenges, I just kind of go across the hall and stand in her doorway with challenges. I just kind of go across the hall and stand in her doorway and she was like what's up, she comes into my room. So. So the first week I walked into a room and what was on her desk? A pack of sage sticks for smudging, and I was like you're thinking of smudging your class before you get students.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she said but I can't he. She said but I can't, he said.
Speaker 3:But I can't because of the smoke, I was told I just waved the stage around, yeah and so, and I said well, there might be so you're concerned about.
Speaker 2:Energetics are serious. You can literally think of sage and imagine the smoke clearing the room and call on sage. You don't even need to touch the plant.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, that's not really what I told her, but if you were across the hall from. Kelly, you could have said that to her. That would have been awesome. But what I said is you know if you're concerned about? Because she says I'm kind of an empath and so I absorb a lot of energy and everything. I said, ooh, this is going to be challenging for you. And she was like, yeah, I'm already anticipating it. And I said well, have you heard of Shungite stone?
Speaker 3:and so she said no, I haven't actually well, look it up, look it up, and shungite is something that you can wear. And what it is? It's like this mysterious stone. Apparently it came from a meteorite. There's only one place in the whole world you can find it somewhere in russia and it is highly, highly effective in terms of protecting you from, uh, negative frequencies that come from technology. But in general, general, in general, if there are kind of these negative frequencies that are not, you know, attuned to you, then it can protect you. So you can get a necklace, you can get a bracelet. You know you can, you know you can you made a show.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I told her about that, something that I adorned it.
Speaker 3:I said it's not something I could actually wear to work. But I explained, I explained to her, I said it was kind of like a little bit like a priestess shawl for, like, uh, fire ceremonies and everything. And she went hmm, like this like she got it immediately, like yeah, so, so, uh, you know and and so you know.
Speaker 3:So she, we were kind of striking up this rapport, which is awesome because there are so many things happening at this school that you need somebody to talk to and you know me, I'm a talker, I need to talk across the hall is perfectly just a few steps away, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So so she came because I, you know, I've been telling her oh, you know, I'm milling my own flour and I'm making my own cheese and I'm going to do sour bread. And she goes like, oh, that's awesome, she's very impressed, right. And so she came into my room the other day and she said did you know that there's a 200 year old mill in Dahlonega that they mill, they stone mill all of these different grains that you can go and you can go in and buy it? And my eyes got you should have seen my, they got like really big.
Speaker 2:I said are you?
Speaker 1:kidding me and she said I know, Are you?
Speaker 3:flirting with me right now. She has a husband, so it's cool, um, yeah, but at any rate she said I always I'm ready, I'm ready for patty, I'm ready, I'm like romantic.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know you're always, you've been ready for years, girl so so.
Speaker 3:But she said how about next weekend? Um, I take you to the mill and I was like I'm there absolutely. And I was telling her, it was like I'm there Absolutely.
Speaker 2:And I was telling her when.
Speaker 3:I moved to North North Georgia. I have these cousins who I love dearly, but it's not like they're taking me around to see stuff you know or the stuff that maybe they'd be interested in. I'm not so much. So this mill, yeah, this is the thing I'm interested in. And she said you know, there are Indian mounds and there are all kinds of things in North Georgia that you know. She said we could go and she said an LJ is a really cool little time. I said I know I've heard. And she said, okay, well, I, I wouldn't mind taking you to different places and showing you around. And I was like it's awesome it's really what I wanted.
Speaker 3:I wanted, you know, I came up here I wanted to explore. I know that there's a reason why I'm here and I know that. You know, I've got my. I feed the deer and I have my little hummingbirds here and I have the mountains and the trees, all the things that I wanted, and I have a nature trail and there are all these really wonderful things. But I also want to kind of go out a little further and see other other things, so and experience other things. But I also want to kind of go out a little further and see other other things, so and experience other things. So, at any rate, my new friend Kelly is Dr McCaffrey, actually Dr.
Speaker 2:McCaffrey, yeah, perfect for you. You know English masters.
Speaker 1:She has a doctorate.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she has a doctorate meant to be your friend, be your friend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she's she is and she's you know, so she's really you it's really cool, you know.
Speaker 3:She said you know I did this whole. I did this whole thing on um, the um kind of like on, kind of on on curse words and swear words and like the history of them and what they mean and all of that and I was like oh, you are my new friend, you know and my favorite, I know.
Speaker 3:I asked her. I asked her about fuck, I asked her about you know, is it really an acronym? And she said you know, well, that's a theory, but it's not really true. It looks like probably the, the f-u-c.
Speaker 2:Oh, no. So in theater history in high school I was taught that fuck was actually pluck, pluck, p-l-u-c-k, pluck you. Oh, and that was because when we were fighting each other with bows and arrows.
Speaker 3:We plucked our arrow with our middle finger.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, and so when you saw your enemy, you would say pluck you. Yes, and this is how you said pluck you.
Speaker 3:You know what?
Speaker 2:In war they would cut off your middle finger.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I'm going to ask her about that when we're on our drive out to the mill.
Speaker 2:But it's so fun. How interesting.
Speaker 3:So we get to talk about language my favorite and I get to go to this mill and pick up some grains that I might like to use in my sourdough bread.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, that's so exciting.
Speaker 3:I'm absolutely thrilled. So it's interesting that. Okay, so I have that. And at the same time I have these students for no, I'm really strict about cell phones, so I don't allow them. I have a little caddy where all the cell phones go in and then at the end of class they get to take their, their cell phones. And there are some students who are just flip, you know, certain students are just flipping out about it, you know, and I'm like no, that's the rule. And and I, there, there are three students in particular, all boys, 17, hispanic, and are just completely disrespectful, completely disrespectful, and I'm like, oh, this is interesting because I don't, you know, like I don't yell at students, I'm not going to be disrespectful to them or whatever, but I'm like well, this, this is kind of interesting, and so I want, you know, I'm kind of wondering, wondering it's like does it have to do with my age? Does it have to do, you know, like, do they think I'm too soft?
Speaker 2:young people assume literally. They have no idea that you worked in new york, the epicenter of new york, in south florida and some of the hardest places baby sit down juvenile jails don't make me show you my leg. Don't listen.
Speaker 3:This is what I say don't make my leg worth show you don't want my leg worth?
Speaker 1:yeah, but I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2:I've shopped at world thrift I shopped at work.
Speaker 3:Okay, I've been to the world but you know, I will tell you that second week of school I've already heard two other teachers yelling at their students.
Speaker 2:It's like I don't, I'm not not your vibe, that's not my vibe. I'm not gonna yell. I don't. I'm not going to yell. That's not my vibe. I'm not going to yell. Get the fuck out. Yeah, I'm not going to yell.
Speaker 3:I'm not going to yell. There's unbothered, there's like this thing. There's this thing, so we have a certain number of minutes.
Speaker 1:You don't have to yell at them, you just write them up, you know. Oh yeah, I do, yeah, so that's what I do unfortunately, I just let them write you up yeah, and I don't even Deal with it. Go to the office.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't even tell them that I'm writing them up, I just send a note to their counselor or you know, write a little note and everything, and that's kind of how I follow up. But, like you know, I just kind of like wow, you know, I, this is, this is new. So, you know, I'm not really sure, but it's really only three. And actually one of the students I had a student say Miss Lucia, don't waste your time on him, so don't pay any attention to him.
Speaker 2:He's just a this or that.
Speaker 3:And I was like no, no, no, no, it's cool, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not mad at him, I just need.
Speaker 2:No, I'm not mad at him, I just need, you know, just play it super cool.
Speaker 1:That's your problem. You gotta use a little lingo. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:You gotta be like okay, say less, bro, I got your slip. Say less or bet.
Speaker 1:I've never been the guy that could throw lingo at people. I've never been the guy that could, never don't.
Speaker 2:I've never been a lingo lingo guy like I can't get with this new shit that these little kids have.
Speaker 1:I can't.
Speaker 2:I have pride.
Speaker 1:My kids just think it's cringy you're asking an English master to manipulate.
Speaker 2:I speak like that and then turn around and speak very very well. But, I think I'm very different.
Speaker 3:I think I'm very very different and they're trying to figure. They're trying to figure that out.
Speaker 2:They can't figure you out, and I do speak to them.
Speaker 3:I do speak to them the way that I speak to adults. Like I don't speak down to them, I speak to them. And there was this one, one of the kids, who really wants to challenge me. We were looking at some vocabulary and one of the words was impeccably. And he said is that how you talk? And I said what do you mean? Did you use those words? Yes, I can speak impeccably.
Speaker 2:And I said.
Speaker 3:I said, well, sometimes I do I don't use it all the time, but it's a great word to know and I said, let me just say a little bit about learning new vocabulary and everything it's like. It's important to learn new vocabulary. So we have better, you know, we have better and better ways of expressing ourselves. And, to be honest with you, when you guys go out in the world and you're getting a job or you're joining the Marines or you're, you know, whatever it is you're doing, a starting a business People are not going to judge your intelligence by how much you remember from your algebra class.
Speaker 3:Like, nobody is going to ask you about algebra Very few people, depending on, they will, they're not going to ask you about geometry, but even if you want to be a rapper go get a thesaurus. Yeah, but they are, that's right. That's right. But they are going to judge your intelligence by how well you communicate, how well you speak, how well you write. This is they're all in. For the rest of your life. You will be judged. Your intelligence will be judged by how well you communicate, and so I know and I often I'll do this at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 3:I know that the intelligence level of all the students in this class is up here. Woo, you guys are really smart. However, if your communication, if your communication is here, then people are always going to assume that your intelligence is here. I just want to close the gap. I want to close the gap, so people don't judge you less than who you are. That's all. That's what I'm doing, all right, so let's give it a try.
Speaker 2:Oh, I get choked up every time Patty talks about teaching, because even my children say, anoki, like damn, what I would give hey Liv, what I would give to have Patty as a teacher. Because, holy shit, you care. You care about kids. You give a shit about who they're becoming and what they can become, and you see potential that they don't see in themselves.
Speaker 3:And that is beautiful. That's right.
Speaker 2:That's why you were palm beach county schools because they are few and far between, and I'm sure in georgia it's not much different. Now I hope that you find I'm wrong. I hope that you find like-minded individuals in this school other than Kelly. Oh, yeah, sure, and you can have a group of teachers that give a shit, because that's so special and I commend you oh yeah, I appreciate that there are students out there that you've touched years ago that still stand by, man, Ms Lucia.
Speaker 2:Man, she was the dopest teacher I ever had. I'm so glad I took her advice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, I hope so. And it's like you know, one of the things about being a teacher is that you touch people's lives and and most often than not you really don't know you never find out. I mean, you know, 20 years later they might say Wow, you know, I remember this thing that my teacher said, and you're not around for them to call and say hey, I was just thinking about, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:like it's I was really blessed. I don't know my english child that that does look for my teachers.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, my teachers my teachers that touched my life. They know to this day. They know like you say, you know what I'll tell you. Thank you, I've messaged.
Speaker 1:I've messaged probably 10 of my teachers throughout the years or whatever. I have not had any one of them. Send me a personal response back.
Speaker 2:Tony Pilla was my sixth grade English teacher, my instructor at the auto industry is different.
Speaker 1:I talk to him all the time. Auto industry's different. I talk to him all the time like, and then um one, my third grade teacher I reached out to him and he just gave me a cordial you know.
Speaker 1:Thank you you know that's sweet um yeah, you know, I'm glad that you're doing well, you know, but, uh, but, but yeah, like my music teacher, I sent her a message, like about how she changed my life and it was like when I was playing music and stuff and and, uh, you know, just thanking her for giving me a chance to to sing, you know, and uh, you know, I mean it's hard because, you know, anoki.
Speaker 3:Anoki, the thing about um teachers is like you know, we, we're human beings.
Speaker 1:There's a line yeah.
Speaker 3:But I was actually going to say that many, many, many teachers have difficulty with different levels of intimacy, just like you know, ordinary people, ordinary people, and so I honestly think that there might be a lot of teachers who have a hard time dealing with it emotionally.
Speaker 3:You know, like taking in the emotional impact that you've had on people. I think can be hard and I know I've struggled with it myself, and so I think can be hard and I know I've struggled with it myself, and so you know, don't you know who knows? You know what's going on with them, but a lot of times it's not you, it's some limitations that they bump up against when they contemplate, even responding to such a message from a former student yeah, totally, yeah, totally.
Speaker 2:So in my experience I had the same six. Remember I told you guys last week about the story, how I went back to sixth grade. Yeah, that was such a funny story. There was a teacher it was my English teacher in sixth grade. Her name was Toni Pilla. She was from Brooklyn.
Speaker 3:She was a hard ass, little woman.
Speaker 2:She was from brooklyn. She was a hard-ass little woman. She was from brooklyn.
Speaker 3:She was from the bronx actually, oh, from the bronx.
Speaker 2:She was from the bronx and she was this little like italian woman with this petite build covered in little snoopy tattoos. But she was a badass and she saw me more than I saw myself. And she knew that I had a fucked up home life and she knew that I needed to escape it and she saw the potential in me that I didn't see in myself. This woman rallied for me. It makes me want to cry. This woman would give me books that were way far surpassed. Shit I should have been reading at my age, but she knew I could fucking handle it.
Speaker 2:Gangs, drugs, suicide, you name it. I read about it Every you name it. I read about it. Every fucking banned book. I read it my first year of sixth grade. This woman was saving my life with books and she knew it. Um, she would have to give me rides home after detention, like she knew that my life was fucked up. So I go back to sixth grade. I have her again. She's like taylor, don't fuck it up this time. This is how she spoke to me, because she knew I could fucking handle it and because she was from the bronx and from. She was from the. So this is how cool she was. If you got the question right, she would throw fucking candy. She would just get up and just chuck candy at your head and if you weren't paying attention and you got the answer wrong if you think.
Speaker 2:Maybe she was half puerto Rican, I don't know, but she got a chunk loss. She would take her fucking shoe off and threaten to hit you.
Speaker 2:She did throw her shoe a couple times and then I had her again in eighth grade but in high school as a senior she got to come watch me perform and got to see me as a young adult who had survived that childhood that she tried so hard to get me to survive. And then we lost touch again and then she actually reached out when she saw all of my friends for middle school on the TV about Epstein.
Speaker 2:She reached out and she was like and she was like, please, tay, I just need to know she said. She said, tucker, tell me that you weren't a part of that shit. Please tell me that you weren't one of those kids, because those were your girls and I know, like I ran an ad non group and like an alanon group for all the young girls at my school.
Speaker 2:My guidance counselor assigned me to go collect all the broken girls because I was broken but very open and willing to heal together Right. So I organized this group and these girls were in the group with me, but they never spoke about what's happening. So we were all friends in school, even though we ran in different circles and whatnot, and so she was making sure I wasn't a part of it and luckily I was able to tell her. Pat really did save me from that aspect of West Palm and I was working on Palm Beach Island but I really never got wrapped up in that, thank God. And she was actually able to give me books for my middle school kids at that point and I was like, wow, what a beautiful full circle.
Speaker 3:So just know that you're always touching, yeah, your students and in a way, through your teaching, that is is treasured gold yeah, no, I appreciate that and you know is, and it's kind of like, for me an important thing has been to give what I have to give in the classroom and then let it go and not expect anyone to come circle back and thank me, do you do your lives and you don't? You know, I don't. So I don't really expect students to come back around and say, hey, miss Lucia, you did this or whatever. Um, I just kind of I'm always wishing them well and um, and yeah, so that's kind of station.
Speaker 3:That's also that same stringless um yeah it's no strings, yeah, hearted, I don't need. I don't need genuine want for the best of others, and that is a powerful medicine because, honestly, whatever they do, even if there's been one or two things that have inspired him, them that I've said, everything that they're accomplishing has to do with them. They're the ones manifesting, they're the're accomplishing has to do with them. They're the ones manifesting, they're the ones accomplishing, they're the ones doing the work. I simply said something that stuck or said an example of a facilitator like you.
Speaker 3:You know with the woman who you helped manifest and your classroom.
Speaker 2:We saw the pictures and, okay, your classroom is a conduit. It's a conduit, it's a conduit of the energy that you I mean. It's the same as walking in your cafe. I'm sure that walking in your classroom is a peaceful break from the fucking crazy hubbub of high school yeah yeah, no, it is, it's a calm, little and I'll tell you this.
Speaker 2:Patrick is in 11th grade this year and he said that the teachers that he respects the most, the most refreshing part about being in 11th grade, is that there are actually teachers that speak to these kids like they are adults. And it is so refreshing to be not spoken to like a child, because he's not a child and this is our future. So why are we being condescending and yelling at young adults? What are we teaching, yeah?
Speaker 3:what are we doing? I mean, like in a year they're going to be out, you know, on their own. Why would I speak to them like?
Speaker 2:they're a child.
Speaker 3:I need to speak to them like they're an adult already on the out, on their, on their own because it's just a year away.
Speaker 2:It's so. They're right there, they're on the cusp of adulthood and they need guidance yeah, I mean they, they need um adult.
Speaker 3:Yeah, adult, adult you know, models people who just model, you know?
Speaker 1:before they're exposed to it in the full danger that it is.
Speaker 2:You know we were doing just to kind of say a few words about you know, I wish Lynn would speak because her mother was a high school teacher and the impact that her mother made on students at Dreyfus was so overwhelming that the entire student body came together for that woman and created um like so, just for really quickly, um, when, um she got sick with cancer, the kids at dry fist that were all the art students yeah, any time that marcia would comment on somebody's shirt like that is such a cool shirt, I love that print all of the kids came together and took those pieces of fabric and created something for her.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's, I think it's a blanket or something like that, um, and, and gave that to her as a gift, and it was all of these things, like a quilt that she loved yeah, over the years or something like that.
Speaker 1:So yeah, really special.
Speaker 2:See those touching moments that teachers are able to.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean you too.
Speaker 3:And there's a kind of like a lot of times when you're in the classroom you're thinking, all right, I have to teach them all these things, but how does it connect with their lives outside of the school? You know, how do I connect this? Like I'm teaching them writing or like how to write persuasively, and I can't, you know. And so I give a lot of thought like how does this apply to their life and I? One of the things that I came to was that you know, we're always, you know we always have an opinion or we always are in a situation where maybe we want to persuade someone or we want someone to see our perspective. But you know, we might not be writing it, but we're speaking it.
Speaker 3:So one of the things that I talked to my students about this this past week was or the week before, I can't remember, it's all mush now but like, is that what we're learning in the way we write will help us communicate better? I said so think about when you're home and you want to persuade a parent of something. I said so and I listed some of the ways that aren't so effective in persuading, like manipulation. Like I talked about manipulation, bribing, bullying, name calling. I said so. Sometimes we think that we can get what we want from a parent through manipulation, like, for instance, and I did, and I literally role played I wrote to my parents, yeah, I said.
Speaker 3:And I said oh, mom, you're so beautiful, you're such a great mom, can I have twenty dollars? Yep and and um, everyone. And they laughed. They were like because they recognize. It's like. Oh, I said, now, what's the issue with that? So you might get what you want, but how does it feel on the other side? So, in other words, the mother who knows that every time her son or daughter comes up to her and says I love you, chances are it's because they want something. And so have you ever had, you know, your mother or your father?
Speaker 2:I know that about my three year old.
Speaker 3:Yeah, when you, when you say, when they say I love you, your, your mother says what do you want, what do?
Speaker 2:you want.
Speaker 3:I said so is that the kind of relationship that you, you know you want? Or you know if you bribe if you give me this, I'll give you that. If you give me this, I'll give you that. That's bribing, or you could bully. If you don't give me this, I'm going to do that. These are all ways that you know that we might use to persuade. But what does it do? Will that person trust you? And now my students are like no. I said, will that person respect you? I said if a boy gets what he wants from a girl by manipulating her, will the girl trust him? And all the girls are like no, will the girl respect him? And then I did the opposite. If a girl gets what she wants from a boy by manipulating him, will that boy trust her? Will that boy respect her? I said so you can get what you want by these ways, but you're going to lose someone's trust and respect. I said so.
Speaker 3:How we're learning to persuade in our writing may be something you can do when you speak to people, and it's a more effective way of persuading because you're giving. You know your position, you're giving a reason, you might give examples, you know you're kind of, you know you're laying it out Now. It's a more honest way of persuasion, but it's really up to you. You're laying it out now. It's a more honest way of persuasion, but it's really up to you. You can use what we're learning in class in your relationships with your family, with your friends, with your boyfriends, with your girlfriends, and see if it makes a difference when you want to make a point or you want to persuade. See if it makes a difference and that's.
Speaker 1:My family was really big into writing letters. My family was really big into writing letters. My family was really big into writing letters and stuff. My mom would write, my grandpa and my grandfather would write a lot of people and and.
Speaker 2:I kind of died with our generation, our letters, like before, text messages. That's all we did in school was write letters. We folded them a certain way.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I still have a hundred notes you know, I have little pieces of toilet paper that people wrote me messages on and you know what's interesting that's how Pat and I yeah, they really do.
Speaker 2:They're nostalgic and that's how Pat and I always communicated as teenagers and to this day, when we are having issues in our relationship, the best way for us to communicate is to write it down not well well because it's not.
Speaker 3:It's not reactive. You're able to think it through and say it more thoughtfully understood as a kid, you know.
Speaker 1:And so by writing this letter, you know you're deeper. I was putting the thought into it, and then I was, you know, reading it and making sure that was what I meant you know, and I'd crumble it up and throw it and write another until you got it over until you got it right I knew who I was, what I was feeling, what I was thinking it was helping you discover yourself absolutely and and it, and then it was also fascinating.
Speaker 1:I felt like it should but it. You know a lot of the times that would come across, as you know. Uh, you know, whatever you know, people didn't want to read it or or whatnot, you know, but but, like if they had. You know, like I feel like it was the best way that I could be understood it's such a big. Thing.
Speaker 2:You think so big yeah, and you have such big feelings, my Aquarian friend.
Speaker 1:I'm not a good arguer.
Speaker 2:People want me to recall what somebody said I don't know. Aquarians hold so much in, I have to literally sit down and think about it. Yeah, you and payton hold so much. I mean phoenix now too, I see it. I'm like you guys well, because we know if there's any reaction at all, like the consequences are, dire you know, it's not like like, is it?
Speaker 1:aquarius is our extreme, yeah, but the world is extreme to us. You're right, you know you're right and so so. So we know that if we're just us, you know, if we're just say it how it popped into our head, we're gonna get yeah, you'll get pushback, you'll get, so I think, I think, I think maybe that's why a lot of aquarians and a lot of you know people with adhd, you know, make such good writing.
Speaker 1:You know like yeah you know, like, like without writing, I would have nothing, and like honestly, oh my god, I'm a writer before I am a singer. I'm a singer because nobody wants to read the stories.
Speaker 3:So I want to sing them because I felt like the message was important yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, and and and and so. So I, I really feel like those go hand in hand. You know, like, like we have to stop ourselves and we have to put it down, because if we say it the way that we're thinking it, there's gonna be, you know, a major repercussion.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know like well so writing as a child saved me too, and I still have those journals from the 11 12 year old version of me, and I've told you this, patty, that little girl was not a little girl. No that little girl was so strong and I'm like I don't know, where she went, Like I'm so glad that she doesn't have to be that anymore.
Speaker 3:But oh yeah, you, you haven't, you haven't needed to be strong in the last 10 years. Now you you didn't. You've had such an easy life. I mean you didn't. You don't really need any of that strength that you had when you were young. I still think, right onoki, yeah you are.
Speaker 1:I still think she was stronger man.
Speaker 2:She was strong, that little girl was tough as nails because she had to be but it's so cool to have that writing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know, because it is inspirational it is, you know I agree, I and I agree with you guys about letter writing, and I might have mentioned this to you before.
Speaker 3:Um when I was yes, when I, when I um, yeah, I have something to say about that too. But when I was with the last class that I had in uh lake at, you know, at my last high school in Florida, they were juniors. And so I said in one year this was towards the end of the year I said, in one year you're going to be graduating, you're going to be walking on the stage, and so I want you to write letters to your future self who's walking across the stage to get that diploma. I want you to imagine that you are writing to that you, the you that's graduating on graduation day. And so they wrote these letters and I folded them up and I promised them that I would send them to them. I would send them back to them just before graduation. And so I that was one of the things I brought to Georgia. They were like, yeah, but what if you're not? And I said, no matter where I am, I am sending these letters to you.
Speaker 3:It doesn't I promise you, and so on on May 1st, because I knew that they were going to graduate like around the 8th or the 10th or whatever that day was in Florida, and I mailed them off to them. I have no idea you know what happened, because you know it's not like I have contact with my students, but the students that I had it was about 150 of them. It was about 150 of them, the students that I had all received the letters that they wrote their junior year, that the letters that they wrote to their future self. So it may have been letters of congratulations. You go, girl, you did it. You know whatever it was that they wanted to say to themselves, you did it. You work so hard way to go. You know whatever they could use, whatever language they wanted, because they were writing to themselves, and I just folded them up and I made sure that they wrote down their addresses and they guess. So I know that stuff like that has an impact. I've also had students.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's been the coolest thing, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So cool. The students that I, that I had last year. They were all new immigrants. Like I had a class of new immigrants, and so one of the projects that we did was write a letter to your family back in Guatemala, back in Mexico, back in Honduras. Oh, but, ms Lucia, they live in a little town and I said so where does the mail go? Where do they pick up the mail? Oh well, there's this little. I said you find it, you find that address and we are sending, but it's international.
Speaker 3:So I got international stamps and I said, oh, no, we're sending these, we're sending these letters and I made sure it was pretty stationary, like pretty card stationary, and we sent them. We sent them out and hopefully they got to the people that they were writing to back home, who you know, I mean. Maybe they're in touch by phone or by text, but there is, you know, and I told, I've told my students. It's like, yes, maybe you can call them, maybe you can text them, but don't underestimate how powerful it is to receive a letter that's come through the mail and now you have it in your hands and I assure you that most people will keep things like that because they are so special. You know, I have all of.
Speaker 3:I love that.
Speaker 1:Now here's the thing.
Speaker 3:Here's the thing. Maybe you can help me out with this, anokhi. Since my arthritis has taken over my hands, I can't. I can't write those cards like I used to. So I would love, I would love to continue to write the cards, but I have difficulty holding a pen correctly. And so I'm thinking, you know, and I still have the wax and I still have my little stamps and I still have all these things, it's like, oh, I would really like to continue to do that. So, anyway, I'm trying to think of how I can, you know, continue something like that, given that I'm not, whether you paint them, hmm, Like, do art, yeah, yeah, I might, I might, um, do that, because I think I can do a paintbrush, you know, like I can, I think I can do that, but writing, you know, like they come in different sizes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they do. You can buy a different, you know handle for a paintbrush that might be bigger and less of a pinch for you. You have to hold on to, you know yeah, but it's something or yeah, that's a really good idea. They've got the skinny markers and then they've got the fat markers. You know, you can, you can you know, maybe experiment yeah experiment you can do giant poster size letters and then fold them up into a little tiny envelope that would be cool, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:I'd have to put it on like yeah. I'd have to put it on like rice paper.
Speaker 3:That would be great. That's an idea, because if it's like something that I can do this, then that's one thing.
Speaker 1:But if I'm trying to do, yeah, if I'm trying to do small.
Speaker 3:I'm trying to do small. I can't. I can't really write like that anymore. Like I used to, I'm on those little note cards, so I'm at this at this point.
Speaker 2:So we need to get you a cricket or something. Then a cricket, yeah, something that you can just like, make cute things with, and you just type it onto a, type it onto your phone and it just prints out. Yeah, I don't know what that cute little stationary and and this is. Is this an app? It's a machine, oh, but it comes with an app.
Speaker 3:So it's like you know, what I've never heard of that I haven't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can make all sorts of things t-shirts, all sorts of things you know, I think that's a great idea.
Speaker 3:So maybe that is something that you know that that I can use to continue to. You know, to send things to people, because I do like sending things to people in the mail. I think it's just really special.
Speaker 2:I love receiving your things the mail, but I I managed.
Speaker 1:I've mailed three letters in my life like mailed I. I'm really good at like handing, you know.
Speaker 2:I'm really good at not going to the post office. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I'm not present.
Speaker 1:I love those people Like I mean, my mailman was like my best friend as a kid. People like I mean, my mailman was like my best friend as a kid, like I love getting mail, I love sending mail, but I suck at sending mail.
Speaker 3:I really suck at sending it like yeah but, I, did manage to to put patty on my list of two other people to have ever received a letter from me yes, that's right, and I still, and I keep them too, I definitely I keep them. I think that they're really special. So you know, but I think, like we just live in a time when there are all these other ways of doing things that are like more convenient, they're faster and whatever, and so letter writing kind of goes, you know, kind of falls away, but when people get letters they still are like they're very special yeah, very, very special to get to get a letter.
Speaker 3:So I'll be doing that with my students this year too. You know doing letter writing at some point. But so, hey, is it time to pull a card?
Speaker 2:Yes, but prior to pulling a card, I was whispered to this morning. Yeah, that flew by.
Speaker 3:Didn't it, though, but we've been having so much fun We've been having fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was whispered to by her on my way down the stairs.
Speaker 1:Okay, oh, the clam light. You guys told me to read that book one time. Jamie Samson, I think I told you I looked at it.
Speaker 2:What a great book. You need to read this book, Anokhi and Dancing the Dream.
Speaker 1:I suck at book reading. You know, it's like I'm better at it. She's a storyteller. She's a native storyteller, you can't wait to turn the page and hear her next vision, but she does the medicine cards yeah she does I love the medicine cards.
Speaker 3:But I mean does, yeah, I love so. But I mean, like she speaks your language, she does you would?
Speaker 2:be your language it's for you, it's literally for you yeah, it's different, so it's funny because as I say this I pulled this before we ever got on the phone right, and then we had that little discussion prior to um going live.
Speaker 2:So, um, the clan mother of the eighth moon cycle is she who heals, and she who heals is the guardian of serving the truth. And this is jamie sam's poem about the eighth clan mother. This is the moon cycle that she represents, right, right, our august moon cycle. Yeah, she who heals. Mother, sing me a song that will ease my pain. Wow, when I tell you that the wind just blew so hard mend broken bones.
Speaker 2:Bring wholeness again. Catch my babies when they are born. Sing my death song. Teach me how to mourn. Show me the medicine of the healing herbs, the value of spirit, the way I can serve mother. Heal my heart so that I can see the gifts of yours that live through me. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's a lot of different levels there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and so the story about the eighth-time mother is a really beautiful one. Um about um, a mother in a cave being doted upon um by the medicine women of the black lodge tribe, and they assist her and her birth and they call upon bat to come through and guide the baby out of the cave. It's absolutely a stunning, beautiful birth story. Gives me goosebumps. Magical, magical. Now, when I came outside this morning, I had brought this deck and there was one card missing from it. Ironically, as I clicked join Zoom, I found the card lying face up on the ground. I put it back in the deck on top. When the wind blew just now, it flipped the card back up.
Speaker 1:So I'm pretty sure that the wind.
Speaker 2:The card has been chosen.
Speaker 3:I'm not going to use a card today. You didn't have to choose it, the wind chose it, I'm an air sign.
Speaker 1:The shaman.
Speaker 3:Whoa the shaman.
Speaker 1:It's really funny. It's got a diamond on there. I take my ring and, like anytime I can catch sunlight, I put a galaxy on the wall. So I'm sitting here like this, playing with my little prison and meanwhile at the same time the wind is blowing.
Speaker 3:Yes, so you want to read the shaman? That's a powerful card at the same time, the wind is blowing. Yes, so you want to read the shaman that's a powerful card, it is.
Speaker 1:It's a card that comes up a lot for me.
Speaker 2:I because it's what you are my dear friend, yeah, girl stop here it goes.
Speaker 1:Let's hear it. The shaman Girl stop. It just happens. Here it goes. What's the name in that deck?
Speaker 2:Let's hear it the shaman, the magi, the sorcerer, the medicine woman, medicine woman, okay sorry.
Speaker 2:These archetypal ingredients? Oh yeah, thank you. These archetypal ingredients constitute the shaman, and all must be present in order to revel and reveal its magic. First, the shaman is activated by long-standing and diligent study the mentor. Second, its orientation is generously and accurately aimed towards the healing of self, the other and the culture, the healer. And third, the shaman has a knack for finding doorways to the other world, allowing psychic visions and old magic to leak into this world the unseen to leak into this world the unseen. And this way, the shaman is the master who bridges the everyday and the sacred, revealing potent power needed desperately in our time. Yet where there is power, there is shadow. So the shaman must be vigilant in studying their own darkness.
Speaker 2:This card reminds us that the force of healing is ultimately not our own. We must shape it and share it with the world. When light become a fearless student, when dark we overpromise, we blame, we hurt ourselves and others. To go deeper, it's recommended to read black elk speak. Contrary to popular belief, the shaman archetype appears in every vocation teachers, directors, surgeons, politicians, poets, poets all of these are shaman's faces. The shaman cannot be rushed. Working with this archetype requires study and perseverance. Think of it like bringing or merit, like brining, sorry, or marinating. The content must permeate every fiber of our being. That's powerful.
Speaker 3:Do you know that almost the whole time that you were reading it was 11, 11?
Speaker 2:um I don't know about y'all but, angel numbers have been personally attacking me like angel numbers.
Speaker 3:I have been so overwhelmed with the amount of angel numbers I'm getting hit with right now yeah, I mean, I just thought I'd mention it because I was like I just looked up and I was like wow, it's like 11, 11, that's kind of significant, well, but so I wake up at 3 33 every morning and I've seen, and I've seen 11, 11 and 3 33, like every day, one, one, one three, three, three, four five, five five every single day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my mileage, my gas, my troubles, my gas, my totals on my bills, the amount of money. I make every night addresses I pass license plates, I'm like listen, it's not my fault that you can't be enchanted by the time on a microwave.
Speaker 3:Baby Live, live a little live a little so, so good. Getting back to the shaman, which I, you know, I I'm sorry I didn't mean to like interrupt our, our, our flow with the medicine cards, but like I just couldn't help but mention that, um, I, I was noticing it, but yeah, going back to the shaman card and the importance of healing ourselves, you know, I think, like you know, on a personal note, I think like, okay, so what is this arthritis thing that's going on with me? Like okay, so it's challenging in some ways because I've decided to approach it in a particular way where I'm not doing any medicine, but it's still, you know, it's still pretty, pretty serious, like it's a still, it's a pretty serious condition that.
Speaker 2:I'm dealing with.
Speaker 3:Louise, hey, but but like does, is this connected to my relationship to my body, to my body, my relationship to my spirit, right, mind, body, spirit? And so is there some cosmic or karmic lesson that I need to be learning as my you know, the hands that all my life were so strong like I was known for having really, really a lot of strength in my hands and I was able to do all kinds of things right up until you know a mature age and just in the last you know couple of years, it's like nope. That's, you know literally just the last year. It's like nope. So I'm thinking, all right, there's, there's, there's. Um, I want to make sure I'm not missing the last. What, what are you? Why are you looking at me like that?
Speaker 2:oh, girl, because you know I just went and got my louise hay book. Let's hurt your feelings. You ready, you know, are you know you're already laughing at me.
Speaker 3:You're already laughing at me, enoki, for real. You want to talk?
Speaker 1:no, no, no, no, no. Oh, you were laughing, we're all laughing, because look at your phones, look at my phones, look at my, look at your phones as soon as I sent it. Tay made that face. I was like we're glittering.
Speaker 3:Oh, you're glittering, you. You're glittering your little galaxy. I thought you were laughing at me. You were just giggling at your own little galaxy.
Speaker 2:The most wonderful Lost in her own little galaxy over there.
Speaker 3:All right, she's just showing up Meanwhile.
Speaker 2:I've just weaponized. I've just weaponized Louise. Hey, she always hurts my feelings and I can't stand the way um that. She's right all the time.
Speaker 3:So essentially what she does, because you don't, we don't even like it really does?
Speaker 2:I don't understand why you? Have to be so hurtful, but whatever thanks for bringing my childhood trauma, okay. Emotional damage all right, okay. So what she does is she takes your ailment, your dis ease yeah, it is a dis ease and she turns it into the spiritual, the spiritual message.
Speaker 3:She tells you why just draw a happy tree.
Speaker 2:She tells you why you have this ailment and then she tells you the mantra to help heal it. We are going to go to arthritis, feeling unloved, crit mantra I am love. I now choose to love and approve of myself. I see others with love, arthritis in the fingers, blame, feeling, victimized. The mantra I see with love and understanding. I hold all my experiences up to the light of love. Hmm.
Speaker 1:I got arthritis and I am loved damn it. What the hell is that I have arthritis from?
Speaker 2:being of service to others, my whole life From being a servant. My fingers are broken from serving others.
Speaker 3:This is bullshit, samuel Louise my fingers are broken from serving others. This is bullshit. Yeah, damn you, louise, I mean it's something. You know I don't want to. Um, you know I I don't want to poo poo it. I mean it's something to know it's something to consider. I thought it was gonna be like.
Speaker 1:Uh, I thought it was like. Every time anybody says a mantra, I think. I think of a frequency. Buddhist chants and mantras hit a frequency. I know there's a frequency for literally everything in the world.
Speaker 3:Yeah, for sure there is.
Speaker 1:I think I count our frequency for everything in the world. Yeah, there is, and I think I've seen frequency validified like validated fucking more than anything else, you know, like that. I wish I had the power to make frequencies in a certain, you know, in certain.
Speaker 2:I just wish I had more, more on it, more of it, more so what that brings my mind to is my Reiki master attuning me to Reiki and using specific drums and specific singing bowls and bells. That looks like all my music resonating yeah, the proper hurts, but not just 432, but the proper hertz for each chakra, the proper hertz for each organ in your body, because that's a thing, and when every night, when I put yeah yeah, when he would put the singing bowl and ding it on your liver, you could literally feel your liver.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can feel it. You can feel the change. So that would be. That's what I want, I want to master the handbook on frequency. That is light language yeah. Frequency is light language I'm light language.
Speaker 1:I believe in light and I believe in all the translations. Yeah, I want. That's what I am. I'm light language you know and I really you are I believe in light and I believe in, like all the translations of light. You know like I like to connect religions with light. I do that's.
Speaker 3:That's like a thing that I am.
Speaker 1:I like to listen to them being yeah, I am the light. I am the light and the way, exactly. You know, like that's right. You know it's the way and the light is how you know, and I am a metaphor, which is why I only speak in metaphor.
Speaker 2:you know, like like it's you intricate, complicated being I mean yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean it's you intricate, complicated being. I mean, yeah, I mean it's all light and sound, you know, and when they break, when they, when they look at, when they combine, well, I think, like light, it turns out to be frequency and sound.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, turns out to be that, so I don't know. I mean, I think you know. I remember back when, um I was working with um uh, liv wheeler, and um I had a conversation with the contemple, told me that my all of my, my memory of who I really am, is in my bones. Oh, and it's in the bones. It's in the bones, in the bones. It's in the bones, they said. They repeated it's in the bones, your story is in the bones you are in their bones and I was like, oh, oh, say that again.
Speaker 3:That's why fairies want your teeth, yeah, but I mean, you know, so I've thought about that. You know, as I'm dealing with arthritis, it's like, okay, there's a relationship here. I need to get to it. I need to get to it. I'm, I'm, you know, and I'm sorry, I'm sorry universe, that I'm dense, that I'm kind of dense and it takes me a while to kind of get it and have the light bulb go off, but like you're in a human body.
Speaker 3:It's like I know there's a connection here, but I haven't gotten yet so at any rate, but it's all part of the healing journey, I think. So this is kind of how I'm thinking. This is one of the ways I think about the. You know, know the this, this journey that I'm having with um.
Speaker 2:You know this, this sudden condition so well, considering that libraries are stone, stones are libraries. My and and bone is the closest thing in our body to stone. Yeah, my first initiative intuition is to find yourself a very favorite, isn't arthritis?
Speaker 1:like an inflammation of your bone, though, isn't it like your bones? Yeah, it's a condition of the joints. It's an immune response well you know, what's really strange is, like I think I've told you guys before, I was on Depo-Provera for like half my life. It was a long long, long time.
Speaker 2:What is that? It's a birth control. It's the yeah and so.
Speaker 3:I didn't have a period.
Speaker 1:I didn't have anything. Well yeah, that's what they say, like guaranteed bone loss, right, yeah, guaranteed bone loss. I was on it for 10 years plus. I went in for my bone density scan and the woman argued with me that I'd never, ever been on and I was like wow, I've been on it for 10 years and she's like no, there's no way that you could have been on it, and on top of that, your bones aren't even normal.
Speaker 3:I'm like what do you?
Speaker 1:mean Thinking like.
Speaker 3:I know he's an alien.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, I don't know. So she holds up my x-ray and it looked like a cartoon skeleton, like black and white, and then she holds up the skeleton of somebody else, you know, and it's like gray and white and black, you know, and and like literally the, the bones were so dense or whatever that that they, that they glowed, like that was.
Speaker 1:there was no gray scale, hardly, you know interesting compared to the one next to it right, well, my uncle, six foot seven or six five one of the two is really tall, really tall guy and um, when they cremated him, they couldn't burn his bones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah you couldn't burn the bone something in your genetics yeah, it's a genetic they yeah, they're related to giants yeah you're related to giants.
Speaker 1:You know, there's something in that lineage that makes sense I'm the only girl in my family that's as big as I am you definitely have some kind of special DNA yeah, it has something to do with your bones well, and then when I did the council um screening for my son or whatever, when, when I uh when I had my son they. They normally test like 14 chromosomes or whatever, and that's if you're worried or you have like a thing in your family or something only one is warranted.
Speaker 1:Well, my mom worked for this place, you know. So, like we were like, well, let's just run the whole panel. So we ran the whole 200 and something chromosome panel that you like, all the ones that you could test or whatever and out of all of them and typically like anybody that does, any of this scan will pop up you know this or that or whatever. Out of the full panel there was not one percentile for any kind of genetic defect.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm yeah.
Speaker 1:With him.
Speaker 2:When they did the genetic testing on Phoenix's cancer, right the DNA strand and the portion of DNA where they found abnormalities. Get this, Shidenoki.
Speaker 3:They don't even know, what that? Dna is for. Yet they don't understand.
Speaker 2:They haven't decoded. They haven't decoded it yet she's like we could call you in 20 years with an explanation to this abnormality, but at this juncture it's not a. It's literally not genetic but, there is some crazy differentiation in part of phoenix's dna well remember, I personally think that's why he survived.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean remember that the portion of dna that they do not understand is most likely other life memory. It's it's memories from it's. It's it. Our dna holds memory from our existence, you know our souls existence.
Speaker 2:So everything from neanderthals was held in our prefrontal cortex sometime during the evolution of humanity. All of that was infiltrated into our DNA and we have not yet figured out a way to decode that Right, but you are also thinking just about the history on Earth.
Speaker 3:Okay, I mean also I'm talking about the soul's history, which probably lived in other places inside the atom is the nothing and that nothing is the something that creates all of our right. There's anitis, yeah so that's that's, yeah, that's fascinating, that's fascinating, but yeah, so. So the bones, and also just getting back to the shaman, yeah, what are the ways that we can continue to heal ourselves? And I think all three of us are really um earnestly pursuing all of the different ways that we can heal our, you know, body, mind, spirits, know.
Speaker 2:I think you need to go lay on a Rose Quartz bed and take some Solomon's seal. That is my doctor advice for you, Patty.
Speaker 3:Rose Quartz bed All right. Well, I'm going to have to look for a Rose Quartz bed, Taylor.
Speaker 2:I have one down the street. Come visit me. I have one right down the street. Just come over, I do yes, where do they?
Speaker 3:where would I find a rose quartz bed by me?
Speaker 1:a healing in the mountains oh, yeah, like in a healing healing center, yeah, yeah, with a place, just like red light therapy.
Speaker 2:they do crystal beds um, but you know if we're talking about um locked memory. Yeah, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1:What's that, what'd you say? We can run a trip together and have a spa day. Ooh.
Speaker 2:I love that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm loving this idea too. Yeah, okay, all right. Well, I tell you what I will do some research, taylor, and I will see if I can find a rose quartz bed somewhere near me. Wonderful, yeah, you what I will do some research, taylor, and I will see if I can find a rose quartz bed somewhere near me.
Speaker 2:Wonderful, yeah, so, and I'll I'll let you guys and maybe I'll get out into the woods and collect some solomon seal and make some medicine.
Speaker 3:So that I can send you some. I would so like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I am doing a whole day, weekend, and then we go up and visit taylor and yeah, you guys can come here and we can do it together.
Speaker 3:Oh, that sounds really. And pat can watch midas and all the and then we go up and visit Taylor and give this holiday there. That sounds really good.
Speaker 1:And then Pat can watch Midas and all the other kids.
Speaker 3:The boys can hang Give all the children to Pat, oh wow.
Speaker 2:Oh, he can handle it. It sounds great. I think it's great he can handle it. He can handle it. It would just be, for a few hours.
Speaker 1:I just have to see I do have the 24th next weekend, I believe or the following weekend. The next weekend, there's a double game in your area, Patty, if you would like to come meet us oh.
Speaker 3:I would love that. Just let me know Now I know one of those days I might be going on that trip to the mill but, if the double, I mean if it happens on the other day.
Speaker 1:Well, it's two games, so there's one early, at like 10, and then there's one at like 120 or something. So I'll get the deets and I'll shoot them to you. And if you can, if not he's going to have like 15 other games that are all within, you know, 40 minutes of you.

Speaker 3:I love you. That's beautiful. Well, it's been so it's been so much fun, you guys, and of course, I'm wishing you and everyone out there a wonderful week. Think about the shaman, think about I mean, we are all shamans in our own way.
Speaker 3:You know, and right now it is. It's important for us all to think about the ways that we can heal mind, body, spirit, um, especially living in the kind of the crazy world, uh, we live in, it'll help us navigate it much better. The more, the more we heal, the better we'll be able to navigate the the craziness out there.
Speaker 2:So yeah so we're all shamans. You don't have to look outwardly to find a shaman, because there's a shaman within us all.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely everybody's a shaman for a different reason everybody's got a different shaman purpose you know, absolutely, absolutely I love you guys.
Speaker 3:I love you guys so much love, love, love, love, love I'll talk to you soon, love you, have a great week Music.
