Speaker 1: Ruby, You're so cute. Thank you so much for the

21
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: kids I'm sending you one back, m okay, and thank

22
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: you for listening to my music and my mother's music.

23
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: That's the best way that you can keep my mom's

24
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: legacy alive is by listening to her music. So I

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: appreciate you so much. Okay. My favorite memory with my mother,

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. I have so many, so many favorite

27
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: great memories, but I have to say one that I'm

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: never going to forget is after I moved out the

29
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: year that she passed, we were finally living that mother

30
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: daughter relationship and we met for lunch, something we had

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: never done before. I think her and I both felt

32
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: very awkward, but it was nice to finally just have

33
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: my mom and talk to her like my mother and

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: not like my business partner or taking care of the

35
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: kids or what's going on in the household. It was

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: so beautiful, and we ate at this restaurant that they

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: closed down in Encino where her house was, and it

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: was one of her favorite restaurants. It's called Farfalla, and

39
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: we had a salad and it was like the middle

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: of the day and we went to get our nails

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: done together like we had never done that before, and

42
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: it was just so beautiful. It was like in June

43
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: sometime and we were really working on our mother daughter relationships.

44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: So that's something I'll never forget amongst so many other memories,

45
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: just so beautiful and with my dad, believe it or not,

46
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: even though so many things happened, I had really nice

47
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: memories with him. He was really good at cooking for

48
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: us every weekend, and he would make us these pancakes,

49
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: like Mickey Mouse pancakes, so it had like the little

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: ears and everything, and he would put little chocolate chips

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: in them. And my sister Jackie remembers that as well.

52
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: And one thing that I'll never forget is he's the

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: one that taught me a lot about music. I love

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Shakira and Selena, and I love Mana because of my

55
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: dad and anitos Errees and I remember going across this

56
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: bridge in Long Beach and we were singing our hearts

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: out to Mana and he says almost a la Luna,

58
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: and we were like singing and my sister was in

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: the backseat, and it's something I'll never forget, and I

60
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: really felt like I was going to the moon. It

61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: was so nice. So that's my favorite memory with my dad,

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: and my favorite color, my all time favorite color one

63
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: that never changes is red because it's passion, it's love.

64
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: That's a color like my staple color. Right, and then

65
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: every year is a different color. So the accent color

66
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: of this year is powder blue, like baby blue. It's

67
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: like my favorite right now. So yeah, that's that's it.

68
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: I think I answered all your questions, right, I hope

69
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: I did. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed answering

70
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: your questions. So thank you so much. Ruby sending you

80
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,560

00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: That is what I live for is to be a

85
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: light in this world. And even when I'm having bad days,

86
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: being a light in the world helps me and reminds

87
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: me why I'm here, and people like you that remind

88
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: me just just confirmation to keep going because life gets

89
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: hard for me too, you know, so thank you so much.

90
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.

91
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: And in regards to worship music, my go to always

92
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: is Hillside United. I love all of their music. If

93
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: I had to choose, I would probably choose them. And yeah,

94
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes I just put it on Pandora and I

95
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: put on like Hillside and then a bunch of artists

96
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: come out worship music and it's it's wonderful. So yeah, sure,

97
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: I would love to know who your favorite is. Maybe

98
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: it's someone I don't know. And I always love to

99
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: discover new music, So let me know. Leave me another

100
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: voice note. Okay, thank you se alrighty guys. Last question

101
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: comes from Maira.

102
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 4: Hi Chieky's catching up with some older podcasts and gil

103
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 4: chance to listen to about you speaking about you know,

104
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: some things that you were going with your siblings, some

105
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: things that you were going through and I hope everything

106
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 4: works out with you. And no, it's probably hard for

107
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 4: you to the lament and then you have to get

108
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: more into like the sister role, so that's probably hard.

109
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 4: But I hope you guys are able to work it out.

110
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: I'm not quite sure why you're having issues like with

111
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 4: all of them at the same time, which I know

112
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 4: you said it was like a disagreement in regards to Johnny,

113
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 4: But I hope it doesn't have anything to do like

114
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: with your current husband. I hope he's not like getting

115
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: you away from your siblings. It doesn't sound like that's

116
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: the case, but I don't know. You've been very down

117
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: lately and it's just kind of worrying me.

118
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: Oh my red, thank you, thank you so much. No, no,

119
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: I can absolutely guarantee it has nothing to do with

120
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: Emilio al Conrado. He's always like saying, oh I miss

121
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: the kids I miss because he's really close to my

122
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: knee and nephews. So no, no, no, Emilio, thank god. I

123
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't even be able to be with someone if they're

124
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: driving me away from my unit. You know, I always

125
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: say this, a person that you're with your significant other,

126
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: if they drive you away from your family, if they

127
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: cause separation. To me, that's called you know they want

128
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: to divide and conquer and I'm just never going to

129
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: allow that again because that happened in my past and

130
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: thank god that's not the situation with Emilio. So no

131
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: things are better. I think they're just never going to

132
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: be what they were, to be honest, as hard as

133
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: that is for me to accept, fully, it's a hard

134
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: pill to swallow, but I think we're just all getting

135
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: older and everyone has a mind of their own. And

136
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: I was used to as the oldest sister. I mean,

137
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,119
Speaker 1: I had a lot of say in their lives because

138
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: they were young. And now they're stepping into their own

139
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: and they're spreading their wings and I have to just

140
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: allow it, and I have to just used to this new,

141
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: this new new, you know, it's just new and foreign

142
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: for all of us. But I'm praying. I'm praying that

143
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: things do get better and better and better, and we'll see.

144
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: And I have noticed that people are noticing. I'm getting

145
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. It could be because I talk

146
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: about it here on the podcast, but also we were

147
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: just so freaking close, you know, and I made it

148
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: a point for us to be close, and I am

149
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: just letting things be, literally letting go surrendering, and I

150
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: never really thought that I would be at this point

151
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: with my siblings, Like, I'm just welcoming however they want

152
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: to deal with things, I'll be here. I'm also a

153
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: little bit not guarded. I don't know if that's the

154
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: right word, but I am a little bit more apprehensive maybe,

155
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: and kind of like I don't even know how to

156
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: how to explain what it is that I'm feeling. But

157
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: I think some of you can understand me, especially the

158
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: older sisters out there. Once you feel like you have

159
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: help raise your siblings and then things change and they

160
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: become adults, it's just all we can do is really

161
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: just pray, like let go and let God. And all

162
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: I do is like God take care of them, take

163
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: care of their hearts and their minds, and if they

164
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: need something, they'll come look for me, and hopefully I'm

165
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: able to give them advice and hopefully my heart is

166
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: open and feel safe enough to be there, which I'm

167
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: pretty sure I will be. But it's just it's sad,

168
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: you know. So if you guys, if anyone out there

169
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: has gone through this before, please leave me a message.

170
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: I would love to hear from you. Actually, I would

171
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: love to see if there's something that I could be

172
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: doing that I'm not doing. You know, thank you so

173
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: much for worrying, and just pray for us please, because

174
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: it's not easy. You know, our mom isn't here, we

175
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: don't have our parents, and I'm kinda also wondering what

176
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: do I I do? Do I pressure do I not?

177
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna start with a new life coach very soon,

178
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: so I'm excited about that. I'll let you guys know

179
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,520
