Speaker 1: purpose and for a purpose. And this is your first
Speaker 1: time tuning in. Welcome Vitamin D. It's a pun of
Speaker 1: my name. My name is Dawn and you get Vitamin
Speaker 1: D from the sun. So I'm here a shed light
Speaker 1: into your life. And I do this with inspirational insights
Speaker 1: and conversations with celebrities and everyday people like you and me,
Speaker 1: Because if you want to be better and you want
Speaker 1: to do better, then you're going to have to be
Speaker 1: able to see better. So join me on this journey
Speaker 1: of living our best lives and understanding and realizing how
Speaker 1: you are your greatest ass at get your vite in
Speaker 1: Indy right with me, and get excited about your life.
Speaker 1: It's so important for us to realize that we're all
Speaker 1: alone right now. And that's why you'll hear me say
Speaker 1: we're here for a good time, not a long time.
Speaker 1: So let's make a count. Let's choose to live our
Speaker 1: lives one purpose and for a purpose. And it really
Speaker 1: instilled in me when I had a moment to spend
Speaker 1: a day with Miss Maryland. I spoke about them previously
Speaker 1: in an episode where I told you they were calling
Speaker 1: the shootout and then mister Meridith had a heart attack.
Speaker 1: Well he ended up having to get surgery multiple times.
Speaker 1: And so one day Miss Maryland called me and we
Speaker 1: said prayer, and then the following day I ended up
Speaker 1: going to visit them. And I had spent a whole
Speaker 1: day with Miss Maryland and it was amazing. We went
Speaker 1: down and took a bad back to Walmart. We had lunch,
Speaker 1: had fish, fried fish and filey a soul. We went
Speaker 1: down to the alley. She got me some shoes like
Speaker 1: and we really bonded and got a chance to know
Speaker 1: each other. And I saw her interaction with so many
Speaker 1: people everywhere. We went to love her light and how
Speaker 1: it shined like Miss Maryland passes out these pantsas I
Speaker 1: love Jesus, and when you would see people and how
Speaker 1: they would light up when they saw these, when they
Speaker 1: received these answar was amazing. And then she gives away
Speaker 1: these bracelets and Miss Marilyn is not shy to talk
Speaker 1: about her decorated past of being incarcerated and who what
Speaker 1: she's done because she knows that the grace that God
Speaker 1: has given her for what she has right now, and
Speaker 1: therefore can walk in so much gratitude. That's why they
Speaker 1: say gratitude is everything. The more grateful we are, the
Speaker 1: more things we have to be grateful for, and being
Speaker 1: able to live through it all and still persevere through
Speaker 1: it all, and God keeps blessing through it all. She said,
Speaker 1: we're all on loan, and we have to realize that
Speaker 1: when we give blessings, they beget blessing. So it's kind
Speaker 1: of like not it's kind of and it's like a
Speaker 1: circle of blessings of life. How much you give, you
Speaker 1: receive and it keeps flowing. And what you realize is
Speaker 1: that you're not trying to just hold on to it
Speaker 1: and hold so many things because it's a loan for you.
Speaker 1: We only here for a finite time. And when we
Speaker 1: can walk in that gratitude and no one that it's
Speaker 1: not mine to hoard to myself and how to give
Speaker 1: you realize how gratitude is everything. The more grateful we are,
Speaker 1: the more things we have to be grateful for, and
Speaker 1: how we'll never get this time ever again, and it's
Speaker 1: so important for us to truly experience life and to
Speaker 1: thank God for it all. And it's the thing where
Speaker 1: you gotta try God to know God truly, truly, truly.
Speaker 1: For someone that has never experienced a moment in their
Speaker 1: life when there was nothing that they could do but
Speaker 1: just staying and somehow they made it through, well, that's
Speaker 1: a but God's situation. And that's why I always remind
Speaker 1: myself constantly, I've survived one hundred percent of the worst
Speaker 1: days of my life, and the same God that's right
Speaker 1: now is the same guy back then. And there were
Speaker 1: times where I felt like I wasn't gonna make it,
Speaker 1: but I'm still here. Why Because you can't fail if
Speaker 1: you don't quit. And when you realize that every day
Speaker 1: you could have stopped but you didn't, you realize how
Speaker 1: precious it is and how a smile on somebody's face
Speaker 1: Because you don't know who fought to get up this morning.
Speaker 1: You don't know who's still fighting to get up this morning.
Speaker 1: You don't know what somebody has been through. Heck, what
Speaker 1: are you going through? That's why we got to remember
Speaker 1: we're all here on law, because it can just be
Speaker 1: one situation one breakup, one loss that can change your
Speaker 1: entire life, change the entire trajectory of your life, your dreams,
Speaker 1: and your ambitions. So I want to remind you that
Speaker 1: we're on long We here for a good time, not
Speaker 1: a long time. That's why we got to make a count.
Speaker 1: We have to choose to live our life on purpose
Speaker 1: and for a purpose and not take it for granted
Speaker 1: that it will be here the same as always. Time
Speaker 1: is so precious. I felt myself getting emotional, and I
Speaker 1: didn't feel I did get emotional speaking with my nephew,
Speaker 1: tell Jane he's turning sixteen this year. He's so excited
Speaker 1: about his birthday, and I'm reflecting. I said, oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: I said, last time I saw you was back in
Speaker 1: it was it July or August, September, one of than
Speaker 1: three months. But it wasn't for a good reason. His
Speaker 1: papa had transitioned and I was only in there for
Speaker 1: a blip, and we were saying how it wasn't for
Speaker 1: a good occasion. But I want to go out there again,
Speaker 1: and you know, just trying to figure out the right
Speaker 1: time because time is moving on and it's going fast.
Speaker 1: And I know when I called him he had this
Speaker 1: de voice. I said, who is this? Because if I
Speaker 1: just will go to what I said, all of this
Speaker 1: space with my baby, yeah, he going into a grown hole. Man'
Speaker 1: here for a good time, not a long time. So
Speaker 1: let's make a count. Let's be present, Let's walk in gratitude,
Speaker 1: Let's walk in peace because we deserve that. And I'm
Speaker 1: just so grateful for Miss Maryland, for her opening up
Speaker 1: her heart, her spirit. I mean even to the point
Speaker 1: where when I went to the hospital, I had just
Speaker 1: thrown some sweats because I'm just in and out, and
Speaker 1: it reminded me of just grateful for the opportunity I
Speaker 1: had on an FM out because when Miss Maryland came down,
Speaker 1: I had another security officer, a woman and another woman
Speaker 1: came back because they just wanted to meet me. They said,
Speaker 1: we've been looking for you. Where have you been? And
Speaker 1: I told them I said no, I'm no longer with
Speaker 1: kJ LH. And it was lie. I was like, but
Speaker 1: you can find me on Facebook live. I'm still on
Speaker 1: there for tons and times and and Tunson and Tuesday
Speaker 1: and tell miss something good Thursday. So I was telling
Speaker 1: them that they can catch me then, and so we
Speaker 1: go upstairs right before I go see Meredith and I'm
Speaker 1: talking to it the I guess she's running the nurse's
Speaker 1: station or a guess. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: But on that floor, whoever you go to for the information,
Speaker 1: are you trying to find out that woman? And I'm
Speaker 1: talking to her and Miss Marilyn, like you know, she
Speaker 1: was on KJLH and a girl looked at me. She said,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I can hear it now, and she
Speaker 1: was talking about how she enjoyed and the inspiration behind it.
Speaker 1: And so I saw miss and Meredith and he was
Speaker 1: so elated, and I hugged him and spoke life over him,
Speaker 1: and he asked about Jeremiah and I told him, I said,
Speaker 1: you know, he's no longer with the team or with
Speaker 1: the show, but he wanted to wish to send him
Speaker 1: well wishes. And it just really touched my heart, because
Speaker 1: you know, we're here for a good time, not a
Speaker 1: long time. Let's make it count. And no, we're not perfect,
Speaker 1: Like I said, we all got some type of paths.
Speaker 1: And who would we just say who got more decorated
Speaker 1: or not because we didn't all did something. But when
Speaker 1: we realized how precious it is and what that grace
Speaker 1: can do. It's behavior that covers us. So Meridithech recounted
Speaker 1: the situation, what happened with the shootout, how he could
Speaker 1: have just went over one inch to the right or
Speaker 1: left where his eye was and it could have went
Speaker 1: through his head. But God, and I just got the news.
Speaker 1: Miss Maryland just hit me and said he getting checked out,
Speaker 1: So won't he do it? I'm telling you, you got to
Speaker 1: try God to know God. So after we left and
Speaker 1: I told you we had that fun filed day with
Speaker 1: Mss Maryland. Right when we're leaving out of the hospital,
Speaker 1: he was over checked in at Veterans. I passed by
Speaker 1: these two housekeepers and I was telling him, you were
Speaker 1: talking about the job opportunity. I'm telling about Facebook Live.
Speaker 1: You gotta check it out. You got to check it out.
Speaker 1: And I'm just grateful because I'm realizing, like the impact
Speaker 1: I can have to inspire people and give resources an opportunity,
Speaker 1: how people are waiting to receive it so much. So
Speaker 1: as we're leaving out, as Miss Maryland and I were
Speaker 1: about to have our fun feel day, because we were
Speaker 1: out from like nine thirty to like five, the same
Speaker 1: security guard that I told you when I first came
Speaker 1: in and had recognized me and was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: want to see if it was really you. I ended
Speaker 1: up having her to take a selfie of us on
Speaker 1: her phone because she said, I just told my husband
Speaker 1: I met you, and I was like, I was just asking.
Speaker 1: I was like, where is she? Where is she? And
Speaker 1: I said really? And then she looked at me. She
Speaker 1: was like, I don't even want to get emotional. She
Speaker 1: was like, but we need you. She was like the
Speaker 1: way you speak life over people. She was like, people
Speaker 1: don't get that. And I said, oh my god. So
Speaker 1: that's when I told her, I said, you gotta check
Speaker 1: me y'all on Facebook Live Tuesdays and Thursdays at five
Speaker 1: thirty a m. I said, we ain't stopping the show.
Speaker 1: On top of I told her, I reminded her, I said,
Speaker 1: we ain't we taking calls. So I'm realizing that even
Speaker 1: my gifts of being able to do it this same
Speaker 1: for me. This is from God because that impact of
Speaker 1: doing what I love and shut it, that's bigger. And
Speaker 1: it's so important for us to realize the God within
Speaker 1: ourselves and how we can inspire and really transform people's
Speaker 1: lives because we realize we're here for a good time,
Speaker 1: not a long time. We gotta make it count and
Speaker 1: this time is on loan. This body is only a finite,
Speaker 1: that car is only a finite. This hair you got that,
Speaker 1: even this skin you got. Right now, I mean, can
Speaker 1: we be honest with the eloticity elasticity? Yeah? I said,
Speaker 1: they're right. Okay, So how are you living? Are you
Speaker 1: walking in your gratitude? Do you realize that you can't
Speaker 1: just hold and hold on to everything? How we gotta
Speaker 1: share because the more we share, the more comes back
Speaker 1: at us. Because it's the evolution of Carmo the cycle.
Speaker 1: So I'm grateful. May I remind us not to get
Speaker 1: too comfortable in life, to just get sitting there because
Speaker 1: we're so used to waste something that's happened, because it
Speaker 1: could just be one thing, one pivot in the entire
Speaker 1: trajectory of your life can change. So then the question becomes,
Speaker 1: are you living your life at your greatest potential? Are
Speaker 1: you living your life how you want to live it?
Speaker 1: I'm just asking, hmm. They say gratitude is everything. The
Speaker 1: more grateful we are, the more things we have to
Speaker 1: be grateful for. What are you grateful for? All right,
Speaker 1: chall I hope you all enjoyed that. I just want
Speaker 1: to remind you that we're alone here and we gonna
Speaker 1: make account. So can we start by making account by
Speaker 1: telling somebody to tell somebody else to tell somebody else
Speaker 1: that that dang on Dawn Day got a podcast and
Speaker 1: it's entitled Vitamin Deed with Dawn Day, and it's available
Speaker 1: wherever you get your favorite podcasts. And on top of it,
