1 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: Good morning, Peeves, and welcome to okay F Daily with 2 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody pre recording from the Long 3 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: Island Bunker, Folks. Every year on the holiday known as Thanksgiving, 4 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: for the past couple of years on wok F, I've liked, 5 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: I have wanted to, and I've liked to and I 6 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: have um dedicated a show to gratitude Thanksgiving. As we 7 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: all know who are politically astute and just you know, 8 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: aware of the many, many lies that we have to 9 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: unlearn as we get older. From our k through twelve 10 00:00:52,880 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: in doctrinization, is wasn't a celebration of a coming together 11 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: of two cultures. In fact, it was quite the opposite. 12 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: It was the decimation of Indigenous people. It was a 13 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: decimation of their good will and hopefulness to be in 14 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: community with these newcomers to what they the indigenous population 15 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: Native Americans believed was shared land and a shared experience. 16 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: And instead, as we all know, that the Europeans that 17 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: would make their way to the United States would claim 18 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: it as their own, would destroy the land, which would 19 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: commit genocide over countless generations. And I believe that currently 20 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: we are living the results of that trauma. Particularly in 21 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: this country, and just the assumption that it was just 22 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: the times, it's just the way that things are. We 23 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: accept the fact that hundreds and thousands of people in 24 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: this country enslaved other human beings. We just accept that. 25 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: We accept that policies were created in order to have 26 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: a permanent underclass in this country. We just accept that. 27 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: We accept genocide and rape and brutalization and violence and 28 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: horror as just a part of what it means to 29 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: live in America. And they say consistently that those that 30 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: do not understand their history will be condemned to repeat it. 31 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: And not only do we repeat our history in this country, 32 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: it seems to get worse as passing generations happen. And 33 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: what do I mean by worse? The desire to cover 34 00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: up reality, the desire to deny the wrongdoing as a 35 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: way to absolve those of us living now from the 36 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: responsibility that we have in order to continue to educate people, 37 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: educate young people, educate elders so that we can come 38 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: to a more acceptable common ground, a more create, more 39 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: of a community that is steeped with the same shared 40 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: values right of humanity and love and peace and goodwill. 41 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: And you know, as I reflect, and I promise this 42 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: will get more uplifting. But as I always reflect this 43 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: time of year, as we close out the year on 44 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: all that's transpired, I find myself really overwhelmed this week. 45 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: And I said this to you all yesterday that I 46 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: hadn't really allowed myself to process the shooting that just 47 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: took place in Colorado Springs until I was in the 48 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: middle of my interview with Jonathan. And it took a 49 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: lot for me to kind of choke back tears because 50 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: I hadn't allowed myself to feel paying. And I think 51 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: that Jonathan, you know, provided earlier in the week his 52 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: medical perspective as to why we do that this disassociation 53 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: as a way to have self preservation. But the reason 54 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: why I do it, I think why I was trying 55 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: not to feel is because I'm genuinely really tired of 56 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: being sad. And you know, we get these couple of bumps, 57 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: you know, like with the midterm elections and the fact 58 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: that more young people Generation Z turned out in higher 59 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: numbers than was to be expected, and that we're going 60 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: to have our first Gen Z member of Congress enter 61 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: into Congress from Florida's tenthsion congressional District, Maxwell Frost, and 62 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: we have more women that are serving, we have more 63 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: people of color that are serving, And so I really 64 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: tried and try to hold on to those good things, 65 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: because without those good grains, right, we just exist in 66 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: a land of despair. And I know and you know 67 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: that that is the goal, right of the Republican parties, 68 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: to create a country that is rocked by despair and 69 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: grief and trauma and violence so that they can shape 70 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: themselves as the party to fix the things that they 71 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: have caused. So I try not to despair, and I 72 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: try not to put myself in the shoes of those 73 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: who have lost family members to gun violence, whether it 74 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: be mass shootings, which are just commonplace a part of 75 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: what it means to be an American, whether it be 76 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: you know, domestic violence, whether it be gang violence, whether 77 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: it be anything. The fact is is that there are 78 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: too many fucking guns on the streets, and we have 79 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: politicians that stoke fear, Republican politicians that stoke fear and 80 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: add to the climate that is already heightened and as 81 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: breaching a breaking point. It's hard. It's hard to look 82 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: at young queer kids in Colorado who had this one 83 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: place for their safe haven shattered right then it hearkens 84 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: back to Pulse. It hearkens to Buffalo and families on 85 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: a Saturday morning going grocery shopping. It's hard to think 86 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: about what to be thankful for and have gratitude for 87 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: in the midst of so much angst and tragedy and 88 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: anxiety and anger and rage and sadness. So I don't 89 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: want to go over what happened in Colorado as if 90 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: it's some type of speed bump and we're just moving 91 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: on to the next thing. What I want to say 92 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: is that I know for many of you, like myself, 93 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: that it is hard to sit around a table with 94 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: chosen family, blood family, a mix of friends and family 95 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: and not just want to collapse into despair, collective despair. 96 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: So what I want to offer today is that we 97 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: can hold multiple things at one time. We can hold 98 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: grief in our hearts for the unrelenting gun violence and 99 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: mass shootings that have become the norm in our society 100 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: over close to thirty years. We can hold hope for 101 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: the next generations to solve the previous generations problems as 102 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: we celebrate the fact that there was no red wave 103 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: that more people showed up to vote in this midterm 104 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: election than I've ever voted before, and we can feel 105 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: proud about that. So we can hold pride in our 106 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: hearts alongside grief. We can hold hopefulness for more people 107 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: becoming conscious to their power right, because that's what the 108 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: midterms showed me and why I was and continue to 109 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: be happy about how folks turned out at the beginning 110 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: of this month, because I tell you all the time, 111 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: sometimes I turn on this microphone and I feel like 112 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: I am speaking out into a void, and I feel 113 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: like there's only a hand full of people that are 114 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: listening and who are nodding along with me, but that 115 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: there is no real impact that is happening, because the 116 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: tragedies just keep happening. And then I get wonderful, amazing 117 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: emails and dms and messages and tweets that are not 118 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: just about boosting my own ego but really reminding me 119 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: that this work matters and that you all matter, and 120 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: that I am really grateful for the opportunity to do 121 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: what I love and do what I feel like I 122 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: have been called to do for the past several years 123 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: on wok F. It is really a privilege and an 124 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: honor to speak to each and every one of you 125 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: on a daily basis, And I can't thank you enough 126 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: for the words of encouragement that I receive that really 127 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: do keep me going, And even if I don't respond immediately, 128 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: know that, like, there are days when my heart feels 129 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: really closed, when I feel really tired and just kind 130 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: of done with this country and it's madness, and as 131 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: trying not to cry on this episode, and your shared 132 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: messages and encouragement and just ability to kind of pull 133 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: me out of the darkness, I'm just so appreciative of 134 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: because there isn't a probably a week that goes by 135 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: that some family member or a friend of mine doesn't 136 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: tell me to find a new job. And it's not 137 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: because they don't think that I am good at it, 138 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: or because they don't have any impact, but because they're 139 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: consistently worried about the toll that it takes on my 140 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: emotional and mental well being. And that's okay because we 141 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: have gotten back on the path to physical and mental wellness. 142 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: You guys know that I meditate multiple times a day, 143 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: and every once in a while I have these fits 144 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: where I will get into physical activity again and then 145 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: I'll get pulled away and it'll be weeks that I 146 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: haven't worked out, and so I am holding myself accountable 147 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: as I am slowly but surely getting back into that 148 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: physical activity as well and not You know, it's funny. 149 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: I think that what happens to with age is that 150 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: initially you kind of want to work out, then diet 151 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: because you want to fit into an outfit, or you 152 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: have a special occasion coming up, or you want to 153 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: make somebody jealous, or you want to make yourself feel good. 154 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: And I think that what happens with age, and I 155 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: was having this conversation with my mother is you know, 156 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: for those of you who have listened to the show 157 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: for many years, you know that my mother, at the 158 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: beginning of twenty twenty, right when the pandemic was happening, 159 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and thankfully it was benign, 160 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: and thankfully she recovered. And we were talking about her 161 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: recovery because the only reason she was able to bounce 162 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: back is because my mother is so physically fit, is 163 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: because she not only owns a yoga studio, but she 164 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: works out every single day. And you know, whether it 165 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: is walking or yoga or Pola bodies. Her physical and 166 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: emotional and mental well being has always been a priority 167 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: in her life, and I realize now that the reason 168 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: why she's been able to bounce back from ailments that 169 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: would take anyone down her age or older, sometimes even younger, 170 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: is because they don't have a good foundation. So as 171 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: we continue to deal with the stress, the stressors and 172 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: the trauma and all of the things that do bring 173 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: us down, both emotionally and physically, it is just really 174 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: important that if you are, if you do have the 175 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: ability to be mobile, that you are, whether it is 176 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: ten minutes a day, fifteen minutes a day or more, 177 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: to give that gift to yourself to wake up with 178 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: gratitude for an able body. And if you don't have 179 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: an able body, if in some way you in fact 180 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: are disabled, there are so many ways in which to 181 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: exercise in a way that you can, right. So I 182 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: say that to folks, because you know, I do find 183 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: myself the last couple of weeks being really grateful for 184 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: the ability to go walking, for the ability to you know, 185 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: take classes, and the ability to work from home, particularly 186 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: at times after these shootings when I feel really unsafe, right, 187 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: and I have a lot of privilege because I'm able 188 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: to record these shows from the safety of my home. 189 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: But we know that there are people that are shot 190 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: and killed inside of their homes as well. But I 191 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: don't want us to give up all the things that 192 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: make us whole, happy human beings, which is the ability 193 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: to take care of ourselves and then take care of 194 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: the ones that we love. So I just want to 195 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: give gratitude for all of you and for all that 196 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: we have built together and all that we hopefully will 197 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: continue to build together for years to come. Woke F 198 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't exist without the woke F community. I wouldn't exist 199 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: in the work that I do if I didn't have 200 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: people that were willing to listen to me on a 201 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: regular basis and take in what I say and create 202 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: your own mustard seeds of hope. But yeah, this has 203 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: been a tough week, and I think that it's okay 204 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: to both hold the joy of being able to take. 205 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone is able to take a day or two 206 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: to gather with those that you love, and whether that 207 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: it is that happens in person or remotely, take the 208 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: opportunity if you haven't talked to somebody in a while, 209 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: if you haven't text with them, and now it feels 210 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: awkward and weird to reach out. Just reach out. Let 211 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: the people know who you love that you love them often, right, 212 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: Take an opportunity to go around your table, if that 213 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: is where you will be this week, to really think 214 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,239 Speaker 1: about what you are grateful for, and not just in 215 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: the moment that the question is asked, but really think 216 00:17:53,240 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: about it every single day. Not everyone has the ability 217 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: is given the gift of waking up every day. Not 218 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: everybody that leaves their home return safely at the end 219 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: of each day. And I think that we take these 220 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 1: little baby miracles for granted because we're always hoping and 221 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: wishing and trying to manifest the next great thing. Opening 222 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: our eyes is a great thing, the honor of being 223 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: able to be present each and every day. As my 224 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: mother says all the time, and as many Yogis say, 225 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: they call it the present because it's a gift right. 226 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: The future is not has not happened, and the past 227 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: is done right. So I just want each and every 228 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: one of us, whether around the table with our family 229 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: and friends, are over zooms or text messages, to create 230 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: space for those that we love, and to fill that 231 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: space with a love and empathy and compassion and grace 232 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: for ourselves and for everyone around us. We are all 233 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: dealing with more than we are sharing, and let us 234 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: not walk through life making assumptions about other people's pain. 235 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,239 Speaker 1: Some are visible and some are not. Some will be 236 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: shared and some won't. But I think that that is 237 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: the point of grace, and that is the point of 238 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: empathy and compassion and love. Right So, my hope for 239 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: all of you, and this is a genuine hope, is 240 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: that with each and every day that you're granted, that 241 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: you find something to be grateful for, even if that 242 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: day that you can only say it is just the 243 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: error that I'm taking in my lungs, and that each 244 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: and every one of us live in a way that 245 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: if we were taken tomorrow, it would still be a 246 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: life well lived. I am so very grateful to each 247 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: and every single one of you that listens to the show, 248 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: that shares, the show that holds me in your hearts 249 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: and your minds. I am just genuinely appreciative, and I 250 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: wish for you all as we enter into multiple different 251 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: types of holiday seasons, that we find a way to 252 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: hold all of our emotions, but most importantly, peace and 253 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: joy and gratitude in our hearts.
