Speaker 1: you are your greatest assts. Get your viting in.
Speaker 2: Dy right with me, and get excited about your life.
Speaker 1: Hello, I said, hello, I know it's been alone time.
Speaker 1: Wait I got some news for you. I got some
Speaker 1: news for you. Vitamin D is in studio. E mm hmm.
Speaker 1: You can't fail if you don't quit. If you fall
Speaker 1: down seven times, get up eight. If you can look up,
Speaker 1: you can get up. Your location is not your destination.
Speaker 1: I have so much to update you on, we have
Speaker 1: so much to talk about. We gotta get back to
Speaker 1: the work, but I have to check in. I have
Speaker 1: to check in because I said, it's the real fact.
Speaker 1: Vain bene hain't nothing like the rill thing, No, but
Speaker 1: for real though I was listening to Soul to Soul,
Speaker 1: keep on moving, you know, keep on moving, don't stop
Speaker 1: like the hands up time party people. I know I
Speaker 1: messed with delirious, but you notice, and that's how you
Speaker 1: got to be. Heck, that's how I've been, and I
Speaker 1: truly I have a different understanding, a deeper understanding rather
Speaker 1: of what it means to be hungry for your dreams
Speaker 1: because when I tell you, twists and turns, ditches, ridges,
Speaker 1: mountains and valleys will come your way on this journey
Speaker 1: called life. Because what have I told you that? My
Speaker 1: former barber said, Lewis t Pau The journey is the experience,
Speaker 1: and the experience is the journey. Half the time we
Speaker 1: want to go through the journey without having the experience,
Speaker 1: or perhaps we get disencouraged, disencourage your word, disencouraged by
Speaker 1: the experience and don't want to go through the journey. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you that I'm here and we
Speaker 1: have a lot to catch up on. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: apprehensive to say, oh, all the plans, but I want
Speaker 1: you to be part of it, because at some point
Speaker 1: or another I probably have met you had some sort
Speaker 1: of interaction. I kept saying, Hey, subscribe to my podcast
Speaker 1: Vitamin D. It's a pawn off my name. You get
Speaker 1: vitamin D from the sun. So I had to shed
Speaker 1: light into your life. Huh. And you probably were sitting
Speaker 1: there wondering what I be, doll, where's doing it? Maybe
Speaker 1: you have forgotten and you stumbled across my face popping
Speaker 1: up on your podcast app. I don't know what it was.
Speaker 1: Did you get the alert? Well, I'm here and it's
Speaker 1: been a long time coming. And if you have been
Speaker 1: a long time listener and you've heard the previous episodes,
Speaker 1: you've heard me go through my ups and downs and
Speaker 1: all the way around to the point where I couldn't
Speaker 1: even see. I got to the point I couldn't even hear.
Speaker 1: I did not know what's going on. So a lot
Speaker 1: of this right here, it's me encouraging you as I
Speaker 1: speak to myself. Because you've heard the tears. You've been
Speaker 1: in the valleys with me, you've been climbing up the
Speaker 1: mountain with me, and so many of you have spent
Speaker 1: those words encouragement, and I gotta send it back at you.
Speaker 1: I gotta remind you what you're going after, because it's possible.
Speaker 1: I know you're thinking, oh my gosh, I'm never gonna
Speaker 1: make it. You're reciting in this realm of impossibility, just
Speaker 1: saying it's impossible. But I need you to put a
Speaker 1: space and say that I'm possible, because I am a
Speaker 1: living witness. And the thing is is that life is
Speaker 1: a journey where every peak is there's a valley, and
Speaker 1: when it comes with every valley there is a peak.
Speaker 1: It's no difference than our polse. It goes up and down.
Speaker 1: I'm coming up for air, y'all. I'm so glad to declare.
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful. My god, my god. I got some
Speaker 1: upcoming conversations for you. In fact, I've already recorded one,
Speaker 1: and it's about those who are dealing with Alzheimer's. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you have a family, friend, yourself, or
Speaker 1: whomever who's dealing with Alzheimer's or any form of dementia.
Speaker 1: Why I'm gonna need you to pull up cause I
Speaker 1: have an episode cooking up that I did actually when
Speaker 1: I was at home and I I didn't know when
Speaker 1: I was gonna get in the studio, but I had
Speaker 1: somebody that said, yes, Dawn, I want to have this conversation.
Speaker 1: So I packaged it up and I'm going to reair
Speaker 1: that for you. But I also got some news for you.
Speaker 1: You ready for Vitamin D Live, like in the studio,
Speaker 1: Vitamin D Live. That's what we're doing. Dare I say
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Tuesdays and Thursdays from two to four.
Speaker 1: And that's if you're on the West Coast time. If
Speaker 1: you own the East coast time, that's gonna be what
Speaker 1: five to seven? You gonna pull up on me? Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be taking phone calls. In fact, can I
Speaker 1: give you the number right now? Many of you've asked, well,
Speaker 1: what is the number? Here? It is eight one eight
Speaker 1: eight one seven three one one three. Follow me on
Speaker 1: all social media at don Dai speaks okay, and then
Speaker 1: also Vitamin D Don d Ai on these socials on
Speaker 1: these handles, you gonna see me, You're gonna hit me. YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn,
Speaker 1: I'm coming through Instagram Live. I'm coming to you. TikTok oh,
Speaker 1: it don't stop. I'm coming to you. I'm coming back
Speaker 1: with the community news. I'm coming back with the resources
Speaker 1: and information. I'm coming back to the real people right
Speaker 1: now that wants to know what's going on on the
Speaker 1: outside is also within, Because what is Lauren? He'll say,
Speaker 1: how you gonna win when you ain't right within? I ah,
Speaker 1: come again. And if you've been sitting there and you've
Speaker 1: been waiting, you said, don where are you? Where here
Speaker 1: I am? I just had to get prepared. There are
Speaker 1: some things that I've had to overstand with myself with
Speaker 1: others and situations and realizing further deeply who I am
Speaker 1: and who I am becoming, because that's the story, right
Speaker 1: It's all about the becoming. Who are you becoming? Who
Speaker 1: do you say that you are? I'm talking about groundlings updates,
Speaker 1: life updates, health updates, podcasts updates, relationship updates. Everything on
Speaker 1: the update update because we're on an up rise for
Speaker 1: what's upcoming in our lives. So I'm gonna need you
Speaker 1: to hold on to whatever it is that you're going through.
Speaker 1: This is just an announcement to say Hey, keep on moving.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many people I've seen and
Speaker 1: come across they've gotten discouraged, who have decided to turn
Speaker 1: in the time, decided to roll over and throw their
Speaker 1: hands up, decided to get off of their feet. But
Speaker 1: you gotta stand ten toes down. Ain't that what Nips said?
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm recording this right now on Nip's birthday.
Speaker 1: It's four forty four pm on the West Coast, August fifteenth.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll put this up today just so you know
Speaker 1: that I'm live, in effect coming to you direct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to say that, and I guess that's
Speaker 1: all I wanted to say, just because I want to
Speaker 1: let you know that I'm still here and this is
Speaker 1: my voice, and I want to let you know that
Speaker 1: you're still here, and you're gonna have to keep going,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to keep stretching. You don't have
Speaker 1: to keep pushing yourself, and you're gonna have to see
Speaker 1: keep asking those questions that are hard for you to
Speaker 1: ask because perhaps you're embarrassed. Well, listen, you can't know
Speaker 1: what you don't know. You can't know what's in store
Speaker 1: if you don't explore. So I have to ask you,
Speaker 1: what is your score? What is your probability for your
Speaker 1: success for your life? Because what do you want? If
Speaker 1: you were created by a creator, I have to ask you,
Speaker 1: what are you willing to create? Anybody would get discouraged
Speaker 1: with just some eggs, some flours, some oil, some sugar,
Speaker 1: But it takes a white person to mix it together
Speaker 1: and add some water and not be able or not
Speaker 1: be afraid of the heat, and to step into the
Speaker 1: kitchen and immerse themselves through the flame and the fire
Speaker 1: that's going to literally transform their lives so much so
Speaker 1: that they develop in a new composition. And perhaps that's
Speaker 1: what's going on with you, But that can't happen if
Speaker 1: you're willing to turn into the towel. You have to
Speaker 1: explore everythings around you and everything that you want to do.
Speaker 1: And it's going to require you to get uncomfortable. It
Speaker 1: may require you to shed some people by your fault
Speaker 1: or just by happenstance. I mean it happened to me.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. We have so much to talk about.
Speaker 1: So I want to encourage you that if you have
Speaker 1: any information, if you have any resources, if you happen
Speaker 1: to come across this conversation and you said, Hey, I
Speaker 1: got some information I want to provide. I got some
Speaker 1: advice that I need. Email me vitamin D at dawn
Speaker 1: dai speaks dot com. That's vitamin D at dawn daispeaks
Speaker 1: dot com. Because we're back to shed and the light
Speaker 1: on the good and the bad. Because if you want
Speaker 1: to be better and you want to do better, well,
Speaker 1: you're going to have to be able to see better. Heck,
Speaker 1: it took me so long just to crack open this mic.
Speaker 1: I'm not about to start doing this emotional role. We
Speaker 1: know what it is. And when I tell you I fought,
Speaker 1: I fought some things within myself. I fought the obstacles
Speaker 1: around me. I'm telling you I fought. But ask and
Speaker 1: you shall receive. Seek and you shall find, and knock
Speaker 1: and the door will be opened. Unto you. Sometimes we
Speaker 1: get so caught up trying to walk through the door
Speaker 1: that we forget to look up and look at how
Speaker 1: many windows are open, the windows that have always provided
Speaker 1: us with a view, that have always given us fresh
Speaker 1: air when we need it. It's always given us an
Speaker 1: escape route if we need to take it. But for
Speaker 1: some reason, we get fixated on this door feeling like
Speaker 1: it is the only way to come in and out.
Speaker 1: Perhaps there's not enough heat in the kitchen, perhaps there's
Speaker 1: not enough smoke. To the point when you have no
Speaker 1: choice and you have to figure out how am I
Speaker 1: going to clear the air, open the window and let
Speaker 1: it out. Sometimes you're gonna have to crawl out. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to go down before you get up. But
Speaker 1: what do I say. If you can look up, you
Speaker 1: can get up. If you fall down seven times, get up. Aid.
Speaker 1: Your location is not your destination because you can't fail
Speaker 1: if you don't quit. M So as you ready, keep
Speaker 1: on moving, keep on moving, don't stop. Don't stop like
Speaker 1: the hands of time, because time waits for no one.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you're waiting for somebody to
Speaker 1: extend an opportunity for you. Are you waiting on somebody
Speaker 1: to ask you out on a date. Are you waiting
Speaker 1: for the appropriate opportunity to release your job, or to
Speaker 1: go after the job, or to go after your crush,
Speaker 1: to go after something that you've never had before. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, time waits for no one. TikTok, TikTok, keep
Speaker 1: on moving. So I'm gonna put this episode today in
Speaker 1: the day that it aired, and I can't wait to
Speaker 1: keep on going. I can't wait till I'm telling you
Speaker 1: how you better tune in because I'm coming live on
Speaker 1: such and such a date. I got some equipment coming
Speaker 1: into the studio. Yes, Vitamin D and studio E. Yes,
Speaker 1: that be me, It's coming. And this whole idea of
Speaker 1: being hungry for your dreams, what I realize is when
Speaker 1: you got this dream and you're feeling hungry for it,
Speaker 1: you realize that no matter what else you do, whatever
Speaker 1: else you consume, it will never feed you because you
Speaker 1: have to be hungry for your dream. See, oftentimes we
Speaker 1: get distracted because what we're drinking too much for the meal?
Speaker 1: Did we decide to have too many tastes, got distracted
Speaker 1: by the appetizers, or perhaps we wanted to jump to dessert,
Speaker 1: but we forgot the main entree. And the main entree
Speaker 1: is the dream. And you realize that you're gonna keep snacking, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna try to keep drinking up stuff, and then
Speaker 1: realizing that the hunger is never fulfilled because theer the
Speaker 1: meal is the dream. And when you hungry for your dream,
Speaker 1: you realize it's a moment of survival. You realize that
Speaker 1: nothing can phyxiate that taste no matter what you try
Speaker 1: to distract yourself with. So can we be for real?
Speaker 1: You nothing deal and get to the heart of the matter,
Speaker 1: about what it's really about. Cause we here for a
Speaker 1: good time, not a long time, and we got to
Speaker 1: make it count. And we make it count by living
Speaker 1: our lives on purpose and for a purpose. Now, it
Speaker 1: don't mean that everything is all rainbows and butterflies. No,
Speaker 1: that's not what I'm saying. But what I am saying
Speaker 1: is that you gotta keep on keeping on. You gotta
Speaker 1: keep on moving so much so that just like a reptile,
Speaker 1: you start shedding layers of your body. Just like a
Speaker 1: butterfly or a caterpillar. You gotta go into your concuon
Speaker 1: and it gets dark, and it gets uncomfortable and you
Speaker 1: start feeling alone. That's because something else is coming. You
Speaker 1: start to get under a deeper understanding of who you are,
Speaker 1: and it comes out in ways of understanding who you
Speaker 1: are is realizing that the different people you encounter in
Speaker 1: your life and the different situations you become about. Each
Speaker 1: of those experiences those situations, and each of those people
Speaker 1: experience different versions of you, and that doesn't make any
Speaker 1: of them untrue, but it doesn't make any of them
Speaker 1: more true. Do you catch what I'm saying? But what
Speaker 1: I need from you, just like vitamin D is I
Speaker 1: need you to see the light all around you. I
Speaker 1: need you to get comfortable with being uncomfortable of seeing
Speaker 1: your dark sides, seeing the parts of you that perhaps
Speaker 1: have been chipped away, seeing the parts of you where
Speaker 1: the light bounces off and hits other angles and sometimes
Speaker 1: angles that aren't as flattering, yet some that showcase your beauty.
Speaker 1: You know, I've said this before. What allows a diamond
Speaker 1: to shine are the multitudes of cuts that have been
Speaker 1: placed within it. But let's not get neglected by the
Speaker 1: fact that there was an immense amount of pressure that
Speaker 1: formed of diamond, so much so that it changed this
Speaker 1: composition to be the strongest ever. Well, so why should
Speaker 1: you be any different from a diamond? Why shouldn't you shine? Huh?
Speaker 1: I hope you grow from the things that you've experienced,
Speaker 1: because if you haven't, well, you're just functioning and functioning
Speaker 1: will heck you minus build be dead. But that's not
Speaker 1: you because you hear my voice. That's not you, because
Speaker 1: you can feel something that's not you because you are
Speaker 1: seeking for more. So don't you dare throwing the towel.
Speaker 1: Don't you be willing to give up? You need to
Speaker 1: do everything that you need to do for yourself so
Speaker 1: that you can be of yourself, so that you can
Speaker 1: be more of yourself, so that you can live your
Speaker 1: life to your wildest dreams. Because remember, you were created
Speaker 1: by a creator meant to create. So that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: Either you can do it or sit there and watch
Speaker 1: me and still say, hey, I have to experience of
Speaker 1: the view somehow. Now, nothing in life is guaranteed and
Speaker 1: nothing is promised. The only thing is is that you
Speaker 1: can't fail if you don't quit. So here I am
Speaker 1: Vitamin D and studio E. Yes, that be me baby.
Speaker 1: Soon you will see m dreams work when you do.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I just had to lunch out and
Speaker 1: I had to peep in because I'm almost there, and
Speaker 1: I just had to just tap my foot in the
Speaker 1: water to say, hey, how you doing, So reach out
Speaker 1: to me, follow me, let me know if you want
Speaker 1: to have a conversation. I'm going to gets updated so
Speaker 1: that we can get the scheduling going. Because now we're
Speaker 1: going to have a consistent date. So whether you can
Speaker 1: come in or perhaps you may want to call it
Speaker 1: because you want to talk to me live, it's going
Speaker 1: to be possible. Did you take the number down? Eight

Speaker 1: show will be Tuesdays and Thursdays, Vitamin D Live, coming

Speaker 1: So what up? Though? Am I gonna see you there?
Speaker 1: You won't have to call me to talk to me now,
Speaker 1: think of it, no difference as you're listening to me

Speaker 1: except for you get to call on me. You gonna

Speaker 1: what you're gonna be able to do. But for those
Speaker 1: who want to catch me live, that want to talk
Speaker 1: to me live, hence I said, talk to me live,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to come me. All right, Okay,
Speaker 1: well let me get out of here because I'm just
Speaker 1: flapping my chaps. But I just had to say something
Speaker 1: because sometimes the hardest step is just to put one
Speaker 1: foot in front of the other, or better yet, sometimes
Speaker 1: the hardest step is just to take the first step.
Speaker 1: And this was my first step of cracking the microphone,
Speaker 1: remembering myself that this is what I do, This is
Speaker 1: what I I was made for. I was made to
Speaker 1: speak while still being perfectly imperfect. Okay, so that's all
Speaker 1: I have to say. I'm checking it. I'm excited to
