00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.799
<v Speaker 1>yes to creativity, totally uncut, because hey, we all make mistakes,

3
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>so let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>It's not just me, it's everybody. When you make the

5
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>decision to sit down to write, it's not always going

6
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to be an easy flow of thoughts and perceptions. It's

7
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>almost like priming the pump, getting fuel into that small

8
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>engine so the job or the gift of life can

9
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>get started. I'm always amazed at how quickly my dog

10
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Jazzy wakes up. Now the experts say it's because our

11
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>fuzzy little friends have irregular sleeping patterns. Dogs can doze

12
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 1>off whenever they want. Yeah, we can't do that as humans.

13
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Dogs they spend only ten percent of their sleep time

14
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>in RAM or a deep sleep, the human being twenty

15
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 1>five percent RAM sleep. Other reasons why dogs wake up

16
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>quickly is due to fear, excitement, loneliness, stress, or someone

17
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 1>they don't know is nearby and they can hear it.

18
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Jazzy is our alarm clock. She knows when it's seven am,

19
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>right on the dot. It's because she knows our habits

20
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.359
<v Speaker 1>and somewhere along the line, She's gotten used to our

21
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 1>daily entry because it usually means, m I'm gonna have

22
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>me some breakfast and then we're gonna take my first

23
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>walk through this forest in South Charlotte, North Carolina. Now,

24
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I openly speak of the struggles of the daily morning

25
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>writing because as a writer that goes deep into the night,

26
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the struggles to put words on a page is no different.

27
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>But I learn to listen to it, and I learn

28
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to see what triggers me and where am I falling

29
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 1>short as that writer. As for Jazzy at night, she's

30
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 1>sleeping like a baby. Hey, it's aerow. This is the

31
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>daily mess, a chronological walk through in everyday world. I

32
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>am a daily writer. I'm a silent wolf. I sit

33
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>on the edge and I just watch, I listen, I study,

34
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 1>and then we activate it. This is the daily mess.

35
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 1>I think it is so funny the faces that people

36
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>make when they see me eating an orange peeling. Yeah, man,

37
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't want just that fruit on the inside. I

38
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>like eating the peel itself. Oh yuck. Are you kidding

39
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>me yet? Top chefs like Gordon Ramsay create zest from

40
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 1>oranges as well as lemons. You should see what I

41
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>do with banana peelings. I soak them in green rubbing

42
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>alcohol for thirty days, and then I use that liquid

43
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>as a pain reliever. It really does work. They contain

44
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>nutrients and compounds that have incredible health benefits antioxidants, vitamins, minerals,

45
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and fiber. Believe it or not, banana peels can actually

46
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 1>help fight cancer. Other incredible peels for the human body

47
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 1>include potato peels, eggplant, watermelon rines, and zucchini. I mean,

48
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 1>it took me like forty years to finally sit down

49
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 1>and enjoy some spinach. How long is it going to

50
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>take someone to sit down and enjoy the outer core

51
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>of a watermelon? Humm? I love how giving fruits and

52
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>veggies truly are to the human being, But yet we

53
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 1>are so selective as to what we want to put

54
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>into our meals. Would always peel her carrots? Why my

55
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 1>sister couldn't stand bread with a crust still attached? Okay,

56
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I get that, but I don't get that. People think

57
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm insane that every morning when I get up, I

58
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>eat Sauer kraut for breakfast. Oh there's a reason why.

59
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 1>It's a probiotic. This little system, this universe inside your

60
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 1>gut needs to have probiotics, and if you go and

61
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 1>do the research on Sauer Kraut, you'll see that it's

62
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>one of the top probiotics that will do amazing things

63
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 1>for that universe inside your gut. The funniest things that

64
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 1>we do when it comes to food, Maybe we should

65
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 1>be spending more time seeing what's on the outside, peeling

66
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 1>of what it is that we're eating. For instance, like

67
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 1>do you like the skin on chicken? Some people do not.

68
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 1>What about eating potatoes fresh out of the ground, Well,

69
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>we used to do that all the time up in Montana.

70
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 1>Man I was always a happy camper in late August

71
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:57.919
<v Speaker 1>and Dad would say, we gotta go get those potatoes

72
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 1>out of the ground. That meant one thing. I was

73
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna come home with dirt in my mouth, not just

74
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>any dirt, Montana mud dirt. Watch what you eat sometimes

75
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 1>and see how different you really are compared to others.

76
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 1>What do those around you enjoy eating versus what you eat? Now?

77
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I would never eat a bug, but I have seen

78
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>some cooking shows they're munching down on the big old bugs.

79
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I could do that. Crawfish is

80
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 1>another one. I've tried it, but I just think, ooh,

81
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm MARYL. And that's the daily mess.
