WEBVTT - Vitamin D Live - 9.24.24 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.320 I want to remind you to go easy on yourself. 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.720 You know, they say life is a journey, and the 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:12.760 journey is the experience, and even so the experience becomes 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:16.320 a journey. I got that from my Barbara Lewis T. Powell. Well, 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:18.680 the reason why I had to say go easy on 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.680 yourself because I feel like sometimes we put too much pressure, 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.720 faulting ourselves for things that we did not know, not 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:27.880 making room that we did the best that we knew 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.720 how what to do with what we had, with the 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.080 time frame and the engagement of what we had. But nevertheless, 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.760 sometimes I just don't feel like it's enough. Oftentimes I 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:39.880 feel because we always look into the left and the right, 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.360 were trying to check what the next person is doing 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.360 and how you could have done it better. But how 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.040 about you stay in your own lane and run your 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.120 own race. It makes me think of that track by 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:57.520 Adele entitled easy on Me. She says, go easy on me, babe, 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.320 I was still a child, didn't get we get the 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.520 chance to feel the world around me. I had no 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:08.520 time to choose what I chose to do, So go 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:16.800 easy on me. Can I be vulnerable with you? I 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.319 just thought of this now I'm not about to get 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.840 emotions because we just got up in here. But I 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.360 had to remind myself to go easy on myself when 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.679 my sister and I had to make the decision to 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:33.480 take my mom off of life support, because your whole 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:38.880 idea is to hold on, and there wasn't a discussion 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.280 of what to do if a certain circumstance or a 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:46.479 situation were to happen, which leads me to say, we 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.920 are in life insurance Awareness month. If you haven't talked 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.600 to your loved ones, if you haven't made your own 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.400 plans for yourself, please do that. But nevertheless, I wasn't 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.560 a conversation that my sister and my mom, or my 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.960 sister and I had with my mom in regards to 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.280 any of her last wishes. So we had to make 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.400 the choice and say, hey, we are going to allow 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.120 your body to do what it has to do, and 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.919 I'm gonna be honest. I think there were some times 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:19.079 that I reflected or I looked back and I was like, well, 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.200 should we have held on longer? And I had to 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.280 realize that at this point, I do think my mom 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.160 was still conscious. I didn't see her blinking her eyes 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.280 too much or she didn't open her eyes, rather but 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.440 still breathing. All wait, Chuck, give me one second check. 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:37.600 I'm gona call you right back. I didn't mean to 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.480 hang up on you, Chuck, hold one second check, i'm'a 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:44.600 call you right back. And what I realized is that 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.280 at the time, the only way that I could gauge 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.600 whether my mom was in pain was simply buy her 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:56.320 blood pressure, because it would go up, and then when 0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:01.040 they would give her blood pain or pain medication, it 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.880 would go down. And at this point she said morphine. 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.280 And I remember when my mother and what she sounded 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.399 like when one time we went to go to laundry, 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.920 it was around November. I didn't even know I had 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.560 only a couple of months left with her, and she 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.000 was feeling some pain in her chest and I was like, okay, 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:23.600 well I was going to go back home to New York. 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.480 And I'm like, well, Ma, we should go to the hospital. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.480 And I remember being in that hospital room, and I 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.440 don't know, maybe it was the second occasion, one of 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.360 the occasions, because you know what, it all happened so fast, 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.440 it's kind of like a PTSD. But I remember at 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.480 one point she was calling out to her mother, and 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.800 I can't tell you as my mama's child, her calling 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.760 out to her mama, like, yo, my mama, you're supposed 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:49.480 to be saving me and to wreck my brain. When 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.160 it came time and my sister and I to say, hey, 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.080 is it right or is it wrong to take her 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:59.920 off of life support, we had to make room for ourselves. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.240 We had to give ourselves space. We had to give 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.680 ourselves grace and realize that we did the best that 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.640 we knew how with what we were doing. And it 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.800 was at that point that we decided to allow her 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:16.800 body to do that. And you have to realize that 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.200 when you get yourself stuck in limbo and you're afraid 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.160 to make a choice, it's like a state of paralysis. 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.520 It's almost like you're on a hamster real driving yourself 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.120 in crazy because you're expecting an answer to come. You're 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.080 expecting something to change, but realize you're not moving, nor 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.760 have you made a step of movement of decision for 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.120 that change. So yet your mind is going in circles. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.560 And here's what I have to say too. They say 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.839 life is the greatest teacher because first you take the 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:52.560 test and then you learn the lesson. Just remember, as 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:58.039 Adele continues on, I had good intentions in the highest hopes, 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.039 but I know, oh right now, it probably doesn't even show. 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:10.039 Go easy on me, Be easy on yourself. Make sure 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.120 you make room that you are doing the best you 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.520 know how with what you have. Right now, Give your 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:21.200 self grace, give your self space. All right, All right, 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.600 y'all know what time it is.

Okay, So we finally got back 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:28.760 in the studio Vitamin D and studio E. It's been 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.840 a long truck. I mean, truly a testament that you 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.600 give fail. If you don't quit, if you fall down 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.560 seven times, get up eight And guess what, if you 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.040 can look up, you can get up. Because your location 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.520 is not your destination. I don't know what you calling 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.160 out or what you doing, or what you're going after, 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:46.920 but I know that some people are going through some 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.360 hard things right now, and I wanna let you know 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:50.840 that you're gonna have to put one foot in front 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.920 of the other. You gonna have to breathe easy. You 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.360 gonna have to forget about relying on whatever this vision 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.880 that you got or whatever you see you got, and 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.440 rely on the vision because the greater the vision, the 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.960 greater the reward. And notice I didn't say necessarily what 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:09.160 you see. I said the vision. Okay, Now, I know 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.400 there's some more I want to say, but I'm gonna 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.680 let it kind of unfold.

I have 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.320 to draw some blood. Praise report. Hello somebody, Chuck was 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.600 my first call on my first live of an episode 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.960 that's actually gonna go on the uh on the podcast later. 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.760 I know, right, Okay, listen, we're wine. You probably just 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.640 tuning in. I left off a bit I was talking 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:28.040 about for the fires in California. Yes, although it's cooling, 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.160 all things are still cooking up with the fires. I 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.160 had all these jokes and all this other stuff I 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.560 want to land in there, but I gotta tell you 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:41.480 about something else that I didn't even know. Yeah, are 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:49.240 you ready to hear this? Did you know that it's 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.880 just not regular firefighters and uh first responders that put 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.720 fires out. Yeah, I'm talking about the same people that 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.320 be working around the clock. Okay, that's beending seventy two 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.280 hours up at the at the fire house, risking their 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.440 lives and so much more. That these aren't just only 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:10.600 trained firefighters and responders. They are also prison firefighters helping 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.320 them put out the fires as well. Did you know that? 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.720 Did you know that? So what they have is they're 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.560 called there are fire camp trained inmates, and they're in 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.840 the middle of these raging fires that are out there. 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.879 They're digging firebreaks, shoveling fire suppression fowder and DIR I mean, 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:32.119 cutting down the trees the whole nine, hosing down roads, 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:37.680 manning water trucks, assistant rescue cues, and basically helping out. However, 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:42.480 they can now get this the prison fire fires. They're 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:46.119 out there working all day and guess how much they 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:53.080 getting paid. I want you to guess five dollars a 0:17:53.280 --> 0:18:00.159 day each again, all of five dollars a day that 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.680 you can't even get an app and meal with that 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:07.320 that ain't even a semi meal, that is a flat meal. 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.719 I don't even know what that means. But I mean, 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.919 if you really think about this here, that's what sixty 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:16.040 three cents per hour. That's like working all day. And yeah, 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:20.480 you might have a change to call somebody. But the 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.359 question is is that these prison firefighters out there, or 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:26.440 the statement rather, are working and they're risking their lives 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.920 side by side with the LA Fire Department, their counterparts especially, 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.760 And I'm sure you're wondering. You're like, well, Dawn, why 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.560 would these grown men and women in prison inmates sign 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.320 up for such a highly dangerous job. Well, I'm glad 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.760 you asked. Well, the prison inmates actually do get some 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:47.120 other incentives beyond, okay, the five dollars or less a day. 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:53.080 So for one, they get real food. Listen, for somebody 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:56.480 that loves to eat, I can appreciate some good food, okay, 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:03.080 And they're not getting that unidentifiable bullstof Okay. Another reason, too, 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:08.160 is that they're no longer in the actual physical prison itself. Yeah, 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.240 they're actually at stationed at fire camps, which means that 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:17.080 they're safer and away from more violent inmates. Okay, Now, 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.560 another huge reason that inmates sign up for the prison 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:23.760 camps cruise, well, probably the biggest one of all. If 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:25.879 they fight fires for the county and the States is 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.520 a prisoner. In some cases, it shaves off the actual 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:33.840 original prison sentence, and it also helps with your parole 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.040 hearing to go more in your favor as well. I 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.359 don't know about you, I wouldn't mind getting five dollars 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:40.280 a day. If that's the case. I'm gonna get real 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:44.280 food and I'm gonna be out of the actual prison itself, 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.800 and it's gonna show up well for my parole officers. 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.680 I'm not done yet. Now here's the hidden bonus and chew, 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.960 this would get me to sign up. They gonna get 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.400 a ton of exercise. Actually, I mean a lot of exercise. 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.280 I mean, if you think about it, if you're going 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:04.200 into this prison firefighters, is this miss Felicia, y'all? I'm 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:08.240 answering I'm going rogue for y'all. This is that dog 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:09.560 on Dawn like the break of day. 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:12.439 Hello, how are you. 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:15.440 Miss Bellisia?
