Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
Speaker 1: yes to creativity, totally uncut, because hey, we all make mistakes,
Speaker 1: so let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
Speaker 1: It's not just me, it's everybody. When you make the
Speaker 1: decision to sit down to write, it's not always going
Speaker 1: to be an easy flow of thoughts and perceptions. It's
Speaker 1: almost like priming the pump, getting fuel into that small
Speaker 1: engine so the job or the gift of life can
Speaker 1: get started. I'm always amazed at how quickly my dog
Speaker 1: Jazzy wakes up. Now the experts say it's because our
Speaker 1: fuzzy little friends have irregular sleeping patterns. Dogs can doze
Speaker 1: off whenever they want. Yeah, we can't do that as humans.
Speaker 1: Dogs they spend only ten percent of their sleep time
Speaker 1: in RAM or a deep sleep, the human being twenty
Speaker 1: five percent RAM sleep. Other reasons why dogs wake up
Speaker 1: quickly is due to fear, excitement, loneliness, stress, or someone
Speaker 1: they don't know is nearby and they can hear it.
Speaker 1: Jazzy is our alarm clock. She knows when it's seven am,
Speaker 1: right on the dot. It's because she knows our habits
Speaker 1: and somewhere along the line, She's gotten used to our
Speaker 1: daily entry because it usually means, m I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: me some breakfast and then we're gonna take my first
Speaker 1: walk through this forest in South Charlotte, North Carolina. Now,
Speaker 1: I openly speak of the struggles of the daily morning
Speaker 1: writing because as a writer that goes deep into the night,
Speaker 1: the struggles to put words on a page is no different.
Speaker 1: But I learn to listen to it, and I learn
Speaker 1: to see what triggers me and where am I falling
Speaker 1: short as that writer. As for Jazzy at night, she's
Speaker 1: sleeping like a baby. Hey, it's aerow. This is the
Speaker 1: daily mess, a chronological walk through in everyday world. I
Speaker 1: am a daily writer. I'm a silent wolf. I sit
Speaker 1: on the edge and I just watch, I listen, I study,
Speaker 1: and then we activate it. This is the daily mess.
Speaker 1: I think it is so funny the faces that people
Speaker 1: make when they see me eating an orange peeling. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I don't want just that fruit on the inside. I
Speaker 1: like eating the peel itself. Oh yuck. Are you kidding
Speaker 1: me yet? Top chefs like Gordon Ramsay create zest from
Speaker 1: oranges as well as lemons. You should see what I
Speaker 1: do with banana peelings. I soak them in green rubbing
Speaker 1: alcohol for thirty days, and then I use that liquid
Speaker 1: as a pain reliever. It really does work. They contain
Speaker 1: nutrients and compounds that have incredible health benefits antioxidants, vitamins, minerals,
Speaker 1: and fiber. Believe it or not, banana peels can actually
Speaker 1: help fight cancer. Other incredible peels for the human body
Speaker 1: include potato peels, eggplant, watermelon rines, and zucchini. I mean,
Speaker 1: it took me like forty years to finally sit down
Speaker 1: and enjoy some spinach. How long is it going to
Speaker 1: take someone to sit down and enjoy the outer core
Speaker 1: of a watermelon? Humm? I love how giving fruits and
Speaker 1: veggies truly are to the human being, But yet we
Speaker 1: are so selective as to what we want to put
Speaker 1: into our meals. Would always peel her carrots? Why my
Speaker 1: sister couldn't stand bread with a crust still attached? Okay,
Speaker 1: I get that, but I don't get that. People think
Speaker 1: I'm insane that every morning when I get up, I
Speaker 1: eat Sauer kraut for breakfast. Oh there's a reason why.
Speaker 1: It's a probiotic. This little system, this universe inside your
Speaker 1: gut needs to have probiotics, and if you go and
Speaker 1: do the research on Sauer Kraut, you'll see that it's
Speaker 1: one of the top probiotics that will do amazing things
Speaker 1: for that universe inside your gut. The funniest things that
Speaker 1: we do when it comes to food, Maybe we should
Speaker 1: be spending more time seeing what's on the outside, peeling
Speaker 1: of what it is that we're eating. For instance, like
Speaker 1: do you like the skin on chicken? Some people do not.
Speaker 1: What about eating potatoes fresh out of the ground, Well,
Speaker 1: we used to do that all the time up in Montana.
Speaker 1: Man I was always a happy camper in late August
Speaker 1: and Dad would say, we gotta go get those potatoes
Speaker 1: out of the ground. That meant one thing. I was
Speaker 1: gonna come home with dirt in my mouth, not just
Speaker 1: any dirt, Montana mud dirt. Watch what you eat sometimes
Speaker 1: and see how different you really are compared to others.
Speaker 1: What do those around you enjoy eating versus what you eat? Now?
Speaker 1: I would never eat a bug, but I have seen
Speaker 1: some cooking shows they're munching down on the big old bugs.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could do that. Crawfish is
Speaker 1: another one. I've tried it, but I just think, ooh,
Speaker 1: I'm MARYL. And that's the daily mess.
