Speaker 1: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. You are tuned into
Speaker 1: the Vitamin D with Dawn Day Podcast and I am
Speaker 1: your host, Dawn Day, here to get you excited about
Speaker 1: your life so that you can live life on purpose
Speaker 1: and for a purpose. And this is your first time
Speaker 1: tuning in and welcome Vitamin D. It's upon of my name.
Speaker 1: My name is Dawn and you get Vitamin D from
Speaker 1: the sun. So I'm here to shed light into your life.
Speaker 1: And I do this with inspirational insights and conversations with
Speaker 1: celebrities and everyday people like you and me, Because if
Speaker 1: you want to be better and you want to do better,
Speaker 1: then you're going to have to be able to see better.
Speaker 1: So join me on this journey of living our best
Speaker 1: lives and understanding and realizing how you are your greatest
Speaker 1: assid I want peace for you. I want prosperity, I
Speaker 1: want courage, I want abundance. I want everything that is
Speaker 1: good to be for you. However, there's going to be
Speaker 1: a requirement and it doesn't take any outside sources. It
Speaker 1: actually takes everything that's inside of you. I need you
Speaker 1: to show up. I need you to show up so
Speaker 1: that you can show out, show out so that somebody
Speaker 1: can look at you and say I'm possible. So somebody
Speaker 1: can look at you and say that I'm alone, So
Speaker 1: somebody can look at you and say that I'm worth it.
Speaker 1: We're all just looking, looking, living, learning, growing, and there's
Speaker 1: a comfort knowing that you're not alone. And fear does that,
Speaker 1: depression does that put you on a state where you
Speaker 1: feel isolated. But it's something about showing up in all
Speaker 1: of your imperfect perfectness for everyone to see, for some
Speaker 1: body to me inspired, for somebody to be encouraged. Are
Speaker 1: you ready better yet? Are you willing? Because there's no
Speaker 1: perfect moment, there's no right moment. And the thing that's
Speaker 1: so beautiful about you deciding to step up is that
Speaker 1: you're allowing to go ahead and for yourself, and being
Speaker 1: free is a beautiful thing. It's almost like you're soaring
Speaker 1: and you're gliding, gliding to your peace, gliding to your happiness,
Speaker 1: oblivious to what others may think, because you're sowing so
Speaker 1: much higher than that. I want that for you, because
Speaker 1: I want that for me. I'm growing, I'm becoming, I'm
Speaker 1: seeing myself in different angles that I didn't even know
Speaker 1: that there was a view. And I stand in awe
Speaker 1: and admiration of all the different hues. I want that
Speaker 1: for you, and I want that for me too. Let
Speaker 1: us go out there and take the rainbow. Get your right,
Speaker 1: MND right with me. I get excited about you. You
Speaker 1: will not believe what happened. I had a fun field weekend,
Speaker 1: um grateful for it. I met some new friends, hung out. Actually,
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I've put out there as
Speaker 1: far as manifesting, are coming to fruition. Ain't that amazing?
Speaker 1: Like I literally wrote a list of the things that
Speaker 1: I wanted to manifest. I started each sentence with the
Speaker 1: eye a firm and I took the paper. I folded it,
Speaker 1: folded it, folded it again. I burned a candle on it,
Speaker 1: through the wax in the trash, and I looked back
Speaker 1: and now here I am less than a week, and
Speaker 1: I can tell you things are manifesting. Hey, catch it now.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you believe in manifestation, but
Speaker 1: it's one thing for me. And perhaps we do it
Speaker 1: all the time because you know, we know about how
Speaker 1: important it is to speak life, We know how important
Speaker 1: it is to do affirmations. And I think just the
Speaker 1: combination of writing it down to make it plain. You know,
Speaker 1: I say it's important to write things down because we're
Speaker 1: human beings having a spiritual experience. So this my spiritual
Speaker 1: being is saying, hey, Dawn, this is what we want.
Speaker 1: But now I got to communicate with my body with
Speaker 1: this physical realm and say, hey, this is what we're
Speaker 1: putting out there. So I want to encourage you that
Speaker 1: if there's anything that you want, whatever it is that
Speaker 1: you desire, write it down. So and one of those
Speaker 1: things that I listed out as far as what I
Speaker 1: wanted to manifest is that I had a lot of
Speaker 1: friends that actually moves out of l A onto other
Speaker 1: states to do on two more things. And I said,
Speaker 1: I gotta give me a new group of friends. So
Speaker 1: I went out to a DJ event. Um a friend
Speaker 1: of mine had invited me out to met a whole
Speaker 1: other group of friends and we just had a great time.
Speaker 1: And when I sell you, Baybay not listen. Usually I'm
Speaker 1: in bid by ten o'clock. I'm in bed by ten o'clocks,
Speaker 1: so I can get up on my own or alarm clock,
Speaker 1: like I said, on my own at about a five
Speaker 1: thirty six, I get in the tub, I do my meditation.
Speaker 1: I do my job and not do my workout. That
Speaker 1: is the mold. But you know, I do think there
Speaker 1: is a thing where you can have a little bit
Speaker 1: of flexibility. So any who I'm going out, I mean
Speaker 1: each day night is going into the other. But it's
Speaker 1: a great time because, um, you know, when you just
Speaker 1: around great energy. But beyond all that, that's not I'm
Speaker 1: minute to slow down. As I had a minute to
Speaker 1: look down at my hand. Um, I was looking at
Speaker 1: my mom's ring. I guess it's just realized hit me now.
Speaker 1: My mom was really big on jewelry, Like, she really
Speaker 1: liked jewelry. And my daddy he made sure that he
Speaker 1: decked his baby out. Okay, he don Harold Hill was
Speaker 1: gonna make sure that Jannie Hill had her stuff together.
Speaker 1: But I say all that to say is that my mom.
Speaker 1: The story is that, uh, the wedding ring my dad
Speaker 1: got her, she didn't like it so much, and so
Speaker 1: she redesigned the whole thing and put the stones in
Speaker 1: there herself. And as I looked down on the ring
Speaker 1: that my mother created, I noticed that a diamond was missing.
Speaker 1: I gasped. I said, Oh my gosh, what happened. I
Speaker 1: was so sick and I'm up here fighting my emotions.
Speaker 1: I was like, doing, you were too aggressive, You're throwing
Speaker 1: your hand around, you were wearded too much, you were
Speaker 1: doing this blah blah blah blah blah. Then I was
Speaker 1: about to go into a whole emotional stay, like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, this is my mom's and this is what
Speaker 1: I did. And then I had to just breathe for
Speaker 1: a second. I had to remind myself. I said, doing,
Speaker 1: your mom is not in this ring. And I think
Speaker 1: oftentimes we put so much value into things, and while
Speaker 1: things can make us feel good, but the essence, the
Speaker 1: power of what it is, is not in a thing.
Speaker 1: And that hit me a little, hit me differently, more personally, because,
Speaker 1: as I shared before, growing up, my mother was a hoarder.
Speaker 1: My mother kept everything and that's because of loss. She
Speaker 1: was loose. She lost her husband, she lost her mother
Speaker 1: um and since she had even lost her hair when
Speaker 1: she had breast cancer, then her brother, her grandfather, my grandfather,
Speaker 1: and so I feel like, when you lose a lot
Speaker 1: of things, you want to hold onto a lot of things.
Speaker 1: So all these emotions are going in my mind and
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, wait a minute, how come much. Can
Speaker 1: I blame myself for treasuring what it is that I had.
Speaker 1: So I had to take a minutes to breathe, then
Speaker 1: had to remind myself what it is. The thing that
Speaker 1: was also interesting is that throughout this whole day now
Speaker 1: I can't exactly I don't recall the exact day that
Speaker 1: it fell out. I kept coming about of doing being
Speaker 1: more gentle. I'm I'm an aggressive individual. You know, my
Speaker 1: masculine energy comes out. I don't know why a loud romunctious,
Speaker 1: it just is what it is. I've always been heavy handed.
Speaker 1: And it was so interesting that even that day, prior
Speaker 1: to me noticing, I was talking to a group of
Speaker 1: friends and I was just saying, I was just laughing joke.
Speaker 1: You know, you just tap somebody on the shoulder, I
Speaker 1: tap you on the should and you damn Ne're gonna
Speaker 1: fall out. Was aware, and I'm like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I apologize. I'm so rough. I'm just noticing how I've
Speaker 1: been throwing my hands around. I picked up my shoes,
Speaker 1: I had throw them in a car, and I kept saying,
Speaker 1: like I gotta be more gentle, Like why am I
Speaker 1: so rough with things? Then, as I'm recalling back because
Speaker 1: I'm playing throughout the day, I'm just thinking how I
Speaker 1: have been wearing the ring so much. And usually I
Speaker 1: try to wear like if there's an event or if
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, for a special thing. But
Speaker 1: I was like I was just wearing it every day
Speaker 1: to whether I was going here, going that. I was
Speaker 1: putting on the ring, and a part of it is
Speaker 1: because I like to keep my mom close to me.
Speaker 1: And then a part of me I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to be flying because the ring is slide
Speaker 1: and on one and I'm when I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: it was my spirits trying to tell me all this time,
Speaker 1: like don chill, I don't wearing the ring, or don't
Speaker 1: just stop throwing your hands around. But I couldn't listen.
Speaker 1: And I want to encourage you to take time to listen,
Speaker 1: take time to listen more to what's going around you.
Speaker 1: But then also I had to replay it back and
Speaker 1: to be easy in myself because I can't change it.
Speaker 1: We're I'm gonna drive myself crazy. And in that moment
Speaker 1: of just saying breath, I had to be gentle with
Speaker 1: my internal self because I didn't intentionally do it. I
Speaker 1: was using against purpose is to wear it. And I
Speaker 1: realized that I can't dwell in this moment. I gotta
Speaker 1: grow from this moment. So what is growing from this moment?
Speaker 1: Looks like, well, it looks like being more cognizant and
Speaker 1: checking the ring in to get checked, making sure that
Speaker 1: the stones are tightened up and halps. That could be
Speaker 1: something that I want to share with you. What do
Speaker 1: you need to tighten up? What do you need to
Speaker 1: check in on? Because sometimes we get in the motor
Speaker 1: just moving, moving, going and and moving so fast and
Speaker 1: it's just like take your time, take your time, take
Speaker 1: your time. So I'm still going through my ups and
Speaker 1: downs and bounce about this ring, but or the diamond
Speaker 1: I was lost out the ring, but there's nothing I
Speaker 1: could do. And I told Charlotte, my sister. She said,
Speaker 1: what now, Charlotte, she knew this type of stone everything.
Speaker 1: She's like, which one the bigat? And I was like,
Speaker 1: is that the one that smaller because there's one stone
Speaker 1: in the middle than there's others around it? And I
Speaker 1: said yeah, And she said, you know you won't have
Speaker 1: the original stone, but use it as a lesson learned.
Speaker 1: And I think for a lot of us use it
Speaker 1: as a lesson learned. I could imagine before this probably
Speaker 1: would have taken me out. This would have rattled my
Speaker 1: brain left and right and all the way around. But
Speaker 1: I had to remind myself, going, your mama is not
Speaker 1: in that ring. And it just took me a minute
Speaker 1: to adjust myself of how much we put values in things?
Speaker 1: How much value are you putting in things? Stuff? Because
Speaker 1: what happens if you misplace it. What happens is it
Speaker 1: get side of your hands. Then what you gotta remind
Speaker 1: yourself with the memories and what's important on the inside,
Speaker 1: and along with the fact of being careful and being
Speaker 1: mindful with the things that you have right now. So
Speaker 1: that was a jarring effect and it took me for
Speaker 1: a loop, but I realized it's gonna be okay. And
Speaker 1: you know, in my conversation with my sister, I also
Speaker 1: was talking to her and we got on this explanation,
Speaker 1: or we got this conversation talking about the difference between
Speaker 1: being broke and broken. Now, this was a situation I
Speaker 1: could have went down a spiral and got all brokenness
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuf of, But this conversation
Speaker 1: really spearheaded because I was telling he how like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm so excited about all the things that I'm manifesting.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to I finally get everything up with
Speaker 1: my house and getting it exactly the way I wanted
Speaker 1: to look like. And I'm like, man, it's so interesting
Speaker 1: that when I had money, mean, and I had a
Speaker 1: consistent job and it was coming in, I didn't even
Speaker 1: have to know how in the mindset to decorate my
Speaker 1: home like I wanted it to. And right now, while
Speaker 1: all the finances aren't in place for me to do
Speaker 1: it how I want to do it, I realized I
Speaker 1: got a different, renewed mindset. And I think changing your
Speaker 1: mindset changes things. How you look at things changes things.
Speaker 1: Because I look back on when I felt like I
Speaker 1: had all the resources a k a. Money, I didn't
Speaker 1: know what to do with it. Because while sometimes we
Speaker 1: think that the money is the resource, but it's the source.
Speaker 1: Whatever is in that's the resource. That's the thing that replenished.
Speaker 1: Because I didn't have to know how to get my
Speaker 1: place together. And it's so interesting that, you know, from
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, one could think like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: perhaps the finances are there. No, the mindset isn't there.
Speaker 1: And sometimes we gotta do a better job, but checking
Speaker 1: in on ourselves, checking in on ourselves to see how
Speaker 1: we're feeling, seeing how our viewpoint, just stepping back to
Speaker 1: see ourselves. That's why I'm so adamant about stepping into
Speaker 1: the light so you can see the good and the best,
Speaker 1: so that you can grow from it. It's something of
Speaker 1: the light that gives you a little bit of rejuvenation
Speaker 1: or not a little bit, a lot. And I look
Speaker 1: back and I'm like, yo, Dawn couldn't see the light then.
Speaker 1: Dawn didn't know have to know how then. And in
Speaker 1: that conversation with my sister, she said, we're doing there
Speaker 1: was probably a bit of you that was broken. And
Speaker 1: I said, oh my gosh. I was talking to my
Speaker 1: good girlfriend Shelley and I was sharing that conversation with her.
Speaker 1: She said, yeah, I know you were going through something
Speaker 1: aims and I mean I was going through it for
Speaker 1: a couple of years because I couldn't see. So I
Speaker 1: hope you open your eyes, and I mean your spiritual
Speaker 1: eyes to your life so that you can see and
Speaker 1: stop relying on just the finances or other external um
Speaker 1: resources or objects, so that you can feel fulfilled, so
Speaker 1: that you can feel complete because it all happens in
Speaker 1: the inside. Because I bet that there were a lot
Speaker 1: of people or other people can say that they had
Speaker 1: less than me, and their home was probably more together
Speaker 1: than mine was. But that doesn't change the fact that
Speaker 1: I was broken from the inside and I'm still putting
Speaker 1: the pieces together. And let me tell you something that's
Speaker 1: a beauty of being broken. The reason why I say
Speaker 1: that is that you have all these pieces, and I
Speaker 1: don't know about you. When I was younger in our class,
Speaker 1: we have these things that we put mosaics together. And
Speaker 1: the mosaic picture is simply a bit, and the mosaic
Speaker 1: picture simply bits of pieces that I put together to
Speaker 1: make something beautiful? What are you making with your pieces?
Speaker 1: Sometimes we fall down so that things can be put
Speaker 1: back together right. Sometimes you have to be down so
Speaker 1: that you can get up. Sometimes the only way to
Speaker 1: go up this just cause you're down. And I look
Speaker 1: at the new, renewed Dawn, the renewed mindset I have
Speaker 1: now with Dawn, and I say, wow, almost a while
Speaker 1: from where I've been, but more so while from who
Speaker 1: I become. How I'm growing more, how I'm stepping in,
Speaker 1: how I'm allowing myself to see grace, to see that
Speaker 1: dawn that was broken, and that encouraged me, encourages me
Speaker 1: to to look at life with a different, renewed lens,
Speaker 1: because you know, sometimes you can look at people and
Speaker 1: judge them and ain't got their head together, hang out,
Speaker 1: they closes just right, but you ever asked to wonder
Speaker 1: what they could be going through. I was driving with
Speaker 1: a friend down the street and it was woman and
Speaker 1: it had to be about fifty something degrees outside from
Speaker 1: the front. It was a complete dress and the back
Speaker 1: of her ass was out like literally you saw her throwing. Now,
Speaker 1: I bet a lot of people was like, oh, she
Speaker 1: probably nasty. I ain't that her friends to her nothing?
Speaker 1: Why would she go around looking like that? And immediately
Speaker 1: it hurt my heart because I said, oh, my goodness,
Speaker 1: what could she be going through in the sense that
Speaker 1: you would walk around what you're behind out in fifty
Speaker 1: degree rather And I look back at dawn and I said,
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, what were you going through when you
Speaker 1: couldn't even open your eyes to decorate your place? Well,
Speaker 1: I got through it, still getting through it, but like
Speaker 1: I said, when it's a new dawn, it's a new day.
Speaker 1: And I hope you take time to look at yourself.
Speaker 1: I hope you take time to be more gentle and
Speaker 1: show more grace with yourself. Then to happen seeds and
Speaker 1: planted so that you can grow. I'm growing, I'm getting better,
Speaker 1: I'm getting stronger. I'm growing in the sense that I
Speaker 1: didn't let it take me out that I a diamond
Speaker 1: fell out on my mom's ring. What I'm growing from
Speaker 1: that is I'm gonna go ahead and make sure that
Speaker 1: I get everything tightened up and cleaned up, just so
Speaker 1: that it will never happen again, because yes, it's this ring,
Speaker 1: but it could be something else in the future. But
Speaker 1: thank god, I'm gonna catch it now. Thank God, I
Speaker 1: can look back on that dooring that looking at home,
Speaker 1: and I didn't even have to know how to decorate
Speaker 1: it because whatever dark space that I'm in, but guess what,
Speaker 1: I can see the light now, so best believe I'm
Speaker 1: decorating my place now. So I want to encourage you
Speaker 1: to see the light. I want to encourage you to
Speaker 1: see yourself. I want to encourage you to have grace
Speaker 1: with yourself. I want to encourage you not to necessarily
Speaker 1: place your value on things because things take up space,
Speaker 1: and we're making room for ourselves to grow. We're making
Speaker 1: room for abundance, We're making room for peace. We're making
Speaker 1: room for ourselves. H So, yeah, I may have lost
Speaker 1: a diamond out of my mom's ring, but I didn't
Speaker 1: lose my mama, not from where she resides on the inside.
Speaker 1: In fact, I think I found another piece of her.
Speaker 1: So yeah, be gentle with yourself, get your rightem and
Speaker 1: right with me. I get excited about your lives.
