00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 1>dear friend, Anna Ramonde. She is a medium, psychic, claravoyant, teacher, healer,

5
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 1>and just a shining light. And we are so lucky

6
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to have her in studio because she is so busy

7
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and she is just a force, and we are going

8
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 1>to hear about her story how she's become a renowned

9
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>author and clairvoyant and has really inspired so many people,

10
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 1>myself included. Thank you so much for joining us today

11
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and welcome Anna.

12
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. I'm so happy to be here.

13
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to talk about how you bring your

14
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>energy and love of life to so many. Why don't

15
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>you talk a little bit about you and who you

16
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 1>are and what you've gone through.

17
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm a mother, a wife, I have children. I

18
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 2>first learned of my gifts when I was about twelve,

19
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 2>when I realized that everybody else didn't have them. I'm

20
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 2>a born medium. I have gone through the ups and

21
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Speaker 2>downs of lives and I bring things forward to people

22
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>so that they can recognize that there is a heaven,

23
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>there is an afterlife, there is a God. Whether you

24
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 2>call it Sam, the energy of love, the power in

25
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>the sky, whatever you want to call it, but it's

26
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 2>real and it's true. And my mission is to bring

27
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>that to people, to help them heal, to help them

28
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 2>find peace, and to help them find joy.

29
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 1>That is amazing. I know that you too have felt

30
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.719
<v Speaker 1>the pain of grief, and you know what it's like

31
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 1>to have loss in your life. Where did you lean

32
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>was was it prayer, spirit, friends, or just moments of time.

33
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I always go I always go to the source. When

34
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm in pain or I'm suffering from something, I go

35
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 2>to God, I go to mayor right, I go to

36
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 2>what fills my soul and what can heal me and

37
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>who can heal me? You know, friends are wonderful, but

38
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 2>they're not as understanding as you know the one is.

39
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>And so that's kind of where That's where I've always gone.

40
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>That's that's beautiful. I know that you were such a

41
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>big part of my healing journey as well. I mean,

42
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 1>before I've gotten to know you personally, I reached out

43
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 1>to you and everything that you stand for, the gifts

44
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 1>that you have, the comfort you brought me, and not

45
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 1>just me, so many people. Can you talk a little

46
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>bit about the first time you realize that the connection

47
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>you have to spirit was more than just a feeling,

48
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 1>that it was a calling.

49
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>You know. That's interesting because I'm a born medium. I

50
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>wasn't trained to do what I do or see what

51
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I see. This has been my entire life, with the

52
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 2>middle part of it disregarding it because it wasn't It

53
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't allow me to quote unquote fit in in high school.

54
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 2>And so I really realized it was a calling when

55
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I was invited to do a group session by a

56
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 2>friend of mine with people I didn't know, and I

57
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 2>had never done that before. And I went there and

58
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I felt, I really felt that God was moving me

59
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>toward this, you know. And afterwards, when people were saying,

60
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, you helped me so much, I can't begin

61
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.920
<v Speaker 2>to tell you, that was the turn. So I thought, Okay,

62
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 2>everything I did up until this time brought me to

63
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 2>this place, but this is what I need to do.

64
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Gosh, that's that's so amazing. Now, when did you first

65
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>realize that you had this special gift? I know you

66
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 1>have a close relationship with Mary. Can you talk about.

67
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>That well, it's interesting because I didn't know I had

68
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 2>this special gift until I realized that other people didn't

69
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>have it. Because in my mind, as a kid, everybody

70
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.519
<v Speaker 2>had this, you know, everybody could do this. I didn't

71
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 2>understand why adults would ask me to sit with them

72
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>and talk to them. It was like, you know, ask

73
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 2>your child to kind of to do that. Mary was

74
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 2>a whole different thing. I remember it very vividly. I

75
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>grew up on Long Island and it was it was

76
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>like a kind of the day. It was like today,

77
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:52.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of dreary, but I don't know, it was chilly.

78
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was fall or beginning of spring, I don't know.

79
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 2>And my parents had in their backyard what sometimes people

80
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 2>call Mary on the halfshell. So it's Mary and this dome,

81
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>except that there was no Mary. And I was tiny,

82
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>and I was about four or five, and I sat

83
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>in the dome and I was just sitting in the dome,

84
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>and then I saw this young girl with you know,

85
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>long kind of auburn hair, dressed in you know, this

86
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 2>brown outfit with a belt and darkish skin, big eyes,

87
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and she said to me, I will always be with you.

88
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.839
<v Speaker 2>Didn't understand what that meant. You know. I went in

89
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 2>the house. My mother was smoking and reading the newspaper,

90
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>and I guess that's what you did back then. And

91
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.079
<v Speaker 2>I went in and I said, I just saw Mary

92
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 2>in the backyard. And she looked at me like, oh,

93
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.120
<v Speaker 2>like trying to think, like do we have a neighbor

94
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.079
<v Speaker 2>named Mary? And she just said, oh, that's nice, you know,

95
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.439
<v Speaker 2>because they were so used to me saying that I

96
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:01.279
<v Speaker 2>was seeing people, and so, you know what, I carried

97
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 2>that with me. It was my but Mary belonged to me.

98
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I didn't tell anybody about this. I didn't talk about this,

99
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>and she continued to come to me, you know, I

100
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 2>mean until she still comes to me. You know, she

101
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 2>continued to come to me, and whenever I was in crisis,

102
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:19.439
<v Speaker 2>it was always Mary.

103
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>What has Mary taught you personally about about this?

104
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, She's taught me faith that if you ask,

105
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 2>you may not receive immediately, but you will receive, you know,

106
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 2>to pray, you know, to always pray, to always lift

107
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 2>it up to God, to surrender. You know, I've spent

108
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 2>so many days and nights when I've been in a

109
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:55.519
<v Speaker 2>bad situation just surrendering it up to God. With Mary's help.

110
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.639
<v Speaker 2>She taught me. You know what it means to be

111
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 2>a mine there, you know what it means to you know,

112
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 2>have the joys and the pain of motherhood. So you know,

113
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.639
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, you know, you have your parents and

114
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 2>then I have this mentor that is absolutely wonderful, you know,

115
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:18.879
<v Speaker 2>trying now, trying to keep me on my path. That

116
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean I don't go off my path or make mistakes.

117
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm human, of course I do. But she's

118
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.279
<v Speaker 2>She's always there and I know it pure trust.

119
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.959
<v Speaker 1>That's that's so. And it gives it gives me hope

120
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:36.679
<v Speaker 1>when I hear you talk about that relationship and the

121
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.279
<v Speaker 1>relationship you have with Mary and what Mary has taught you,

122
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.279
<v Speaker 1>because without that hope, but you have nothing right.

123
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's how it goes. Without hope, life is like

124
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 2>a broken wing bird. And Mary does provide hope. There's

125
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 2>always hope. You know. We're going through such chaos now

126
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.320
<v Speaker 2>in the world, and what people say to me, is

127
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.120
<v Speaker 2>this the end? And I just keep saying, no, hang on,

128
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 2>have some faith, hope. We've been through this before, the

129
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.559
<v Speaker 2>world has been through this before. You know, it's about

130
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 2>you know. In the in the book, Mary says over

131
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:17.879
<v Speaker 2>and over again. Pray, pray, pray, things can change.

132
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I believe in that. I so believe that. And

133
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.519
<v Speaker 1>as your friend, Anna, I know how much you give

134
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of yourself. How do you balance holding space for so

135
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>many others while also protecting yourself and your soul and

136
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>your spirit.

137
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I think my protection just comes from God.

138
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.279
<v Speaker 2>And you know, and I'm a normal person. So you know,

139
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I spend time with family, I travel, I go out

140
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 2>with my friends. It's my relaxation. I have to learn.

141
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I have to relax. I meditate, you know, I go

142
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.840
<v Speaker 2>to that place that feeds me, feeds my soul in

143
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.559
<v Speaker 2>whatever way. But I have to release the things that

144
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 2>I feel and here during the day or I would

145
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 2>have no life. How do you release that, you know,

146
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>through meditation, through prayer. You know. I play video games

147
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 2>on my eyes. That sounds ridiculous, but it's mindless, okay,

148
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 2>And I just I just do it, you know, I

149
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 2>just do what I have to do. I spend time

150
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 2>with people. I laugh, you know, laughter is great, you know.

151
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>So I try to do as much as I can

152
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 2>to bring myself into that balance.

153
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we've talked about how healing doesn't happen when

154
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you're alone so much as it happens when you're surrounded

155
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 1>by your community, your friends, love. How does that connection

156
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 1>play a role in your own story and on how

157
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>you live your life.

158
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, love is the end all, Love is God. Love

159
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 2>is the greatest energy in the entire world. That's what

160
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 2>it's That's what it's all about. And the more you

161
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>surround yourself with loving people, people that make you laugh,

162
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 2>people that raise your vibration, people that you want to

163
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.399
<v Speaker 2>be with. You know, I tell people all the time

164
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.360
<v Speaker 2>they'll complain about people. It's like, well, then why are

165
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.279
<v Speaker 2>you with that person? If that person is bringing you

166
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 2>down or you don't feel good about yourself when you're

167
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.039
<v Speaker 2>with that person, then you shouldn't be with that person.

168
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:27.000
<v Speaker 2>You know. Community is wonderful no matter what you know,

169
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.279
<v Speaker 2>no matter what you're doing, like spiritual community, you know.

170
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 2>And again it doesn't mean you're walking around preaching all

171
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the time or doing anything like that. It's just uplifting.

172
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 2>You know. Being on the same page with people also helps.

173
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.240
<v Speaker 2>You Know, somebody came to me today and she's like,

174
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm at, you know, a spiritual crisis, because I don't

175
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 2>know anybody who's spiritual. You know and me meanwhile, we're

176
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's spiritual people everywhere, you know, So it's

177
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.799
<v Speaker 2>when you when you know you're surrounded by them and

178
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.840
<v Speaker 2>that they have back and you have their back, and

179
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.799
<v Speaker 2>it's love and compassion. That's what it's about.

180
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, I was talking to someone the other

181
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>day and we were talking about how nice it is

182
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>to have friends that you can talk to when you're

183
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:15.320
<v Speaker 1>going through things, when you're going through creed for a

184
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>hard time. But what's really nice is when you're celebrating something,

185
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 1>something you've worked so hard for and joyful and you

186
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 1>can share that too without feeling like they're going to

187
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:29.799
<v Speaker 1>be envious or jealous. That they're just joyful with you.

188
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.519
<v Speaker 1>I think that's like the best.

189
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is, it is, And I love that. You know,

190
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.559
<v Speaker 2>I've gone through I've had a lot of joy in

191
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.519
<v Speaker 2>my life, you know. I mean, everybody has the ups

192
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.159
<v Speaker 2>and the downs, but I've had a lot of joy

193
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>in some of it. You know, was oh my god,

194
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.440
<v Speaker 2>if I tell this person, well, they think I'm bragging, right,

195
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 2>And it's just I remember, like the first time I

196
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Speaker 2>was on the Doctor Oz show, I'm so excited, so excited,

197
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, and my friends were just as excited for me,

198
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.559
<v Speaker 2>and that was you know, that was pretty wonderful. So yeah,

199
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.799
<v Speaker 2>it's those things like that's not a big thing. It's

200
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 2>not like having a baby, you know, but but it's

201
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 2>something that you know, is a person that I won't forget.

202
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Exactly and that and when you have a friend like that,

203
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.720
<v Speaker 1>you're just you're joyful for their successes. Their successes are

204
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 1>your success.

205
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 2>But that's love. That's what love. That's what love does.

206
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a so you know, I know, you lead retreats

207
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:38.279
<v Speaker 1>and gatherings and you host so many virtually in person

208
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:43.279
<v Speaker 1>restaurants in in you know, different parts of the country,

209
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>actually in different parts of the world. What is your

210
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:49.799
<v Speaker 1>What do you most hope that people walk away from

211
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.519
<v Speaker 1>these types of retreats and gatherings in their hearts.

212
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I want to help people feel the connection and feel

213
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:04.679
<v Speaker 2>the peace that you either comes from above or actually

214
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.279
<v Speaker 2>it's in front of you, because it's right in front

215
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 2>of you, it's the dimension, or from within themselves, from

216
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>their souls. You know, there's the soul is so wonderful,

217
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.679
<v Speaker 2>and the soul is good. That's the good part of us.

218
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:21.159
<v Speaker 2>It's our energy. It's what we're about that. People can

219
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>get in touch with that and then be able to

220
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 2>take that and live happy lives or when they're not happy,

221
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 2>nowhere to go with it.

222
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, and I give that.

223
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.600
<v Speaker 2>There's something greater than themselves. You know, we sit so

224
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:42.440
<v Speaker 2>much in ego. You know, it's important that people knows

225
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:46.639
<v Speaker 2>it's at the end, who cares about your ego? There's

226
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.440
<v Speaker 2>something so much greater that holds us all up. And

227
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 2>we're never alone, whether it's by our relatives or by

228
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, the angels or God or whatever. We're never ever,

229
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:00.639
<v Speaker 2>ever alone.

230
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 1>I was reading a book recently, and it talked about

231
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:08.039
<v Speaker 1>living in the present, you know, and how we so

232
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:10.879
<v Speaker 1>worry so much about the future, and we have anxiety

233
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:15.279
<v Speaker 1>of everything in the future, but that's not guaranteed the

234
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 1>present we lose sight of. You get somewhere, you're on vacation,

235
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.159
<v Speaker 1>you're like up three days till I leave. But by

236
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>doing that, you're not enjoying the time that you're there,

237
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Or you let your pass, which has done it has

238
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:32.480
<v Speaker 1>no bearing on today, creep in and ruin your good

239
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:38.600
<v Speaker 1>time or ruin your state of mind. That's really right now.

240
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what I hear over and over again

241
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.240
<v Speaker 2>from those who have crossed over. Is life is too short.

242
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Live every moment, every moment, because it just goes. And

243
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I hear that from people who have passed in their

244
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:57.120
<v Speaker 2>nineties and people who have passed you know, at seventeen.

245
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.879
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter, it just goes. It goes so fast

246
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:07.080
<v Speaker 2>and the moments fly through. So live those moments, really live,

247
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:09.960
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, your idea of living those moments

248
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:12.679
<v Speaker 2>might be different than my idea of living those moments.

249
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.799
<v Speaker 2>It's an individual you know, It's an individual choice and

250
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 2>an individual feeling of what it feels like to be

251
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:24.320
<v Speaker 2>in the moment and live the moment. So, yeah, it's important.

252
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.080
<v Speaker 2>It's the power of now.

253
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, the power of now. Yes, it's it's it's such

254
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.919
<v Speaker 1>an it's such a hard concept to grasp too. I

255
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>do struggle with it, but I'm doing my best to

256
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>actually embrace now and not focus so much on the future.

257
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's important. I want to enjoy my life

258
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.679
<v Speaker 1>today and and all the beauty and starting to stay

259
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:54.679
<v Speaker 1>grateful and just full of gratitude for everything that I have,

260
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>my health and my friends.

261
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:01.120
<v Speaker 2>And being grateful. I think people forget about is, you know,

262
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 2>waking up in the morning and saying I'm alive, thank.

263
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:10.559
<v Speaker 1>You exactly exactly, and you know, and I know, you know,

264
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.359
<v Speaker 1>sometimes our listeners could be sitting alone right now in

265
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:18.839
<v Speaker 1>grief and wishing, you know, for a sign from their

266
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.519
<v Speaker 1>loved ones, or just just so heartbroken that they feel

267
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.880
<v Speaker 1>like they can't go on. What's a practice or a

268
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.200
<v Speaker 1>prayer you would say, you should try doing this tonight

269
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:31.759
<v Speaker 1>to help you through this.

270
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, I got to tell you, you know, I'm also

271
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a grief counselor you know, I felt that I had

272
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.519
<v Speaker 2>to understand grief in order to do what I do. So,

273
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:44.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, when people are grieving and grief is important,

274
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.279
<v Speaker 2>people should grieve and get out the tears, get out

275
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the feelings. But at the end of the day, those

276
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:54.359
<v Speaker 2>on the other side, they want us to go on

277
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:58.359
<v Speaker 2>and to be happy and to continue our lives. They

278
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:03.039
<v Speaker 2>don't want our lives stuff. They wanted to continue, you know,

279
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.680
<v Speaker 2>to breathe through it, to meditate, to say any prayer.

280
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, prayer doesn't have to be a prayer of

281
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:13.160
<v Speaker 2>a religion. It's a conversation. You know, have a conversation

282
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 2>with your loved ones, write them letters, have a conversation

283
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:19.480
<v Speaker 2>with Mary, you know, have a conversation with God. Do

284
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:26.039
<v Speaker 2>what feels right in your soul. But have the conversations

285
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.079
<v Speaker 2>because that helps. And the signs are everywhere, you know,

286
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.000
<v Speaker 2>keep them mind we're made of energy, and so you know,

287
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.880
<v Speaker 2>those on the other side will blink lights, turn on radios,

288
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.640
<v Speaker 2>turn on TVs, turn off radios. You know, they love

289
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:44.480
<v Speaker 2>sending birds, you know, things like that. They superimpose themselves

290
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.799
<v Speaker 2>on people, so from in the back it looks like them,

291
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.119
<v Speaker 2>and then when they turn around, you realize it's not them.

292
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:55.200
<v Speaker 2>All those things are meant to bring us peace. So

293
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.200
<v Speaker 2>what they're sending us peace from the other side as well.

294
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Wow, I totally look for signs all the time and

295
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm never let down. I see signs in the clouds

296
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.559
<v Speaker 1>and on the truck that goes by, on the rainbows,

297
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 1>on the sunsets. I just I'm always open. My husband

298
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 1>thinks I'm absolutely crazy, but he sees it too, you know,

299
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:23.839
<v Speaker 1>he really does. And it's uh and it's nice. It's

300
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:28.799
<v Speaker 1>just that little godwink, you know, and fills my heart,

301
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:33.279
<v Speaker 1>it really does. Let's talk a little bit about your books.

302
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you've written two books, and I know They've

303
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:44.599
<v Speaker 1>reached so many people. You've written Conversations with Mary, and

304
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:51.759
<v Speaker 1>you've written in Suburbia Dead and Suburbia Talking to the

305
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Dead and Suburbia.

306
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I wrote that a long time ago. I'm actually hoping

307
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.079
<v Speaker 2>to rewrite it, make it more because I wrote it

308
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.799
<v Speaker 2>when I had little kids, you know, and it was

309
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.160
<v Speaker 2>my life was very different. I don't have little kids anymore,

310
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:10.119
<v Speaker 2>and so you know, it was from a different perspective.

311
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:15.759
<v Speaker 2>And then conversations with Mary, you know, that's that's really

312
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.200
<v Speaker 2>my baby. You know, that book came out of nowhere,

313
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:24.319
<v Speaker 2>was published by you know, Simon and Schuster. I had

314
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:26.319
<v Speaker 2>a deal in a month and a half because Mary

315
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.160
<v Speaker 2>wanted it. You know. I had gone to Mediagori, where

316
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Mary has been appearing for maybe forty years, and I

317
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:38.240
<v Speaker 2>went with a bunch of people and they they all

318
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:40.920
<v Speaker 2>got deal with my friends and they got healings. And

319
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I came home and I was sitting in my back

320
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:45.960
<v Speaker 2>in Connecticut and I was like, Mary, I don't get it.

321
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.119
<v Speaker 2>I had to travel thirteen hours when I can hear

322
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you hear and truly I heard her say very loud

323
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.279
<v Speaker 2>and clear, you will be my platform. And I'm like,

324
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, like I said, I'm in surrender. It's like, okay,

325
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:02.039
<v Speaker 2>bring it, bring it on. And I was doing a

326
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:05.160
<v Speaker 2>reading a couple of weeks later and the woman sitting

327
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.279
<v Speaker 2>across from me said, I'm a little intuitive and I

328
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.200
<v Speaker 2>think you should write a book about Mary. And I said,

329
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:13.960
<v Speaker 2>from your mouth to Godzias, and she smiled and said,

330
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm from Simon and Schuster. So Mary made it happen.

331
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 2>Miracles happened. I've had so many miracles in my life,

332
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.480
<v Speaker 2>so many I can't even begin to count them. There's

333
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:28.559
<v Speaker 2>been and that was a miracle. I didn't know what

334
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:31.160
<v Speaker 2>the book was going to be about. I had no idea.

335
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 2>I had to put together a proposal. I have no

336
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:35.440
<v Speaker 2>idea what I was doing. I didn't have an agent,

337
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I have nothing. I had absolutely nothing. And then the

338
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:42.000
<v Speaker 2>book started to form, and you know, a lot of

339
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:44.839
<v Speaker 2>it was Mary waking me up in the middle of

340
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:49.119
<v Speaker 2>the night and I had to come downstairs, get out

341
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.119
<v Speaker 2>my laptop and start typing what she was telling me.

342
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 2>And then the next day put a question to it.

343
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.400
<v Speaker 2>And what was so interesting is, you know, when you're

344
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:01.799
<v Speaker 2>writing a book, book, especially with the big publisher, there

345
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:06.359
<v Speaker 2>are many editors, but my personal editor who everything went

346
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:11.759
<v Speaker 2>to first, would say, this is incredible because Mary's you know,

347
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:16.359
<v Speaker 2>answers are grammatically correct, you know, they flow in a

348
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:24.079
<v Speaker 2>great way, and the questions not so much. Huh. The

349
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.759
<v Speaker 2>hardest part about writing that book, truly was the introduction.

350
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Because I wrote the introduction. She wrote the rest of

351
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:32.680
<v Speaker 2>the book. Mary wrote that book, I didn't write it.

352
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>That's incredible that the power that they can give you

353
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to go through here and out and have you write that,

354
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.559
<v Speaker 1>I just I find that incredible. Actually I found you

355
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:49.920
<v Speaker 1>because one of my friends gave me your book when

356
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:54.720
<v Speaker 1>my son passed and I couldn't really focus. I was

357
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:56.839
<v Speaker 1>my mind. I think you go through like an add

358
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:00.559
<v Speaker 1>thing when you're grieving. But I listened to your book

359
00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and I felt like I was listening to a fellow

360
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>friend because of your New York accent, and yes, you

361
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.119
<v Speaker 1>have a New York when you did the book. You did,

362
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:15.359
<v Speaker 1>but I would listen to it, and then you would

363
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.680
<v Speaker 1>do these cool meditations at the ends of every chapter,

364
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:22.559
<v Speaker 1>and it was just it was amazing because I could

365
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:25.039
<v Speaker 1>close my eyes and I can follow you. I could

366
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:27.720
<v Speaker 1>be walking the dog and just listening to you, and

367
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:30.480
<v Speaker 1>it was just it was really healing. I have to

368
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:32.440
<v Speaker 1>tell you it was one of by far one of

369
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:33.279
<v Speaker 1>my favorite books.

370
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, I've got a lot of very positive feedback and

371
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.319
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of really nice stories. One of my clients,

372
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:46.160
<v Speaker 2>an older woman, was dying and her sister, her daughter

373
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 2>was there and my book was on her bedside table

374
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.400
<v Speaker 2>and apparently it was old dog Eier and she had

375
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.160
<v Speaker 2>read it and she had her daughter read it to

376
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:01.839
<v Speaker 2>her as she was dying. And I know this because

377
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:03.799
<v Speaker 2>then the daughter got in contact with me and says,

378
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.119
<v Speaker 2>I got to meet you, you know, you know, my

379
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.440
<v Speaker 2>mother died listening to your book, and it was just wow,

380
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:11.960
<v Speaker 2>that's so.

381
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Nice, that's incredible. I it's funny because some people can

382
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 1>get understand how many lives they've saved by just you know,

383
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:29.359
<v Speaker 1>by recording doctors and how they've helped people. But you

384
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>do you can't monetize or put a number on how

385
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.960
<v Speaker 1>many lives and how many souls you've helped. But I

386
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.559
<v Speaker 1>just I just wonder, you know how maybe when we

387
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:43.880
<v Speaker 1>go over the other side, you know, it's just the

388
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:47.200
<v Speaker 1>balloons will go up and be like, Anna, you've done.

389
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.440
<v Speaker 2>That would be nice.

390
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I like a party, You've sized all of us, you know,

391
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.400
<v Speaker 1>and it's uh, I think it's just beautiful. But you know,

392
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I know you save other people. But was there a

393
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:02.799
<v Speaker 1>time when Mary's words when you were being childed to

394
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:06.680
<v Speaker 1>write them, actually you realized, you know what, I needed

395
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:10.759
<v Speaker 1>to hear this as well. Were there times that that happened.

396
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:11.640
<v Speaker 2>While writing the book?

397
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:12.519
<v Speaker 1>You meane mm hmmm.

398
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:14.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think it was important when I was

399
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:19.880
<v Speaker 2>writing the book to realize Mary was a woman. You know,

400
00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:24.000
<v Speaker 2>she was a woman, She had a family, she had

401
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:29.480
<v Speaker 2>a child, She had a child who she really couldn't

402
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.720
<v Speaker 2>stop from doing what he wanted to do. And I

403
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.039
<v Speaker 2>think that speaks to all of us who have children.

404
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, that she let go, she had to let

405
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:45.440
<v Speaker 2>go and move on and then her incredible faith, but

406
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.839
<v Speaker 2>her pain. Mary felt pain. You know, Mary was a

407
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:53.680
<v Speaker 2>human being and she felt pain. So I think it

408
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:59.000
<v Speaker 2>was beyond the you know, the mystical Mary, and Mary

409
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:03.480
<v Speaker 2>really became a person to me and someone that I

410
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:08.359
<v Speaker 2>could relate to. So my relationship with her changed a bit,

411
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:13.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, it became more mother to mother as opposed

412
00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:18.400
<v Speaker 2>to mentor to child, and that was really eye opening

413
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.400
<v Speaker 2>to me. And you know, the messages that you know,

414
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 2>the things she said in the book like made me

415
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:27.599
<v Speaker 2>think like wow, you know, I mean, there's so much

416
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:31.880
<v Speaker 2>talks about. She talks about religion, she talks about the angels,

417
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:36.359
<v Speaker 2>she talks about the world. She talks about evil and

418
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:40.000
<v Speaker 2>you know and good. You know where the ying and

419
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the yang of the darkness and the light. You know,

420
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:46.839
<v Speaker 2>I just said that. When I read the words back,

421
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I was like, wow, I actually type this because it

422
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:54.839
<v Speaker 2>just I didn't even realize what I was typing until

423
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I read it back.

424
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Wow. That's so powerful. Think about that, the ability to

425
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:07.680
<v Speaker 1>actually not be aware of what you're typing until you

426
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 1>read it back. I mean.

427
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 2>And what's important to know also is that Mary doesn't

428
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:18.519
<v Speaker 2>belong to the Catholic club. Mary is for everybody. She

429
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:23.359
<v Speaker 2>was a Jewish woman, okay, and she comes through for everyone.

430
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, when I asked her about what's the best religion,

431
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:31.359
<v Speaker 2>and she said, you know best, it's whatever religion has

432
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:34.759
<v Speaker 2>loved that will bring you to God. There's many paths

433
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.440
<v Speaker 2>to get there. So she's not this book is you know,

434
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:42.039
<v Speaker 2>the book was totally non denominational. You know, she comes

435
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:45.880
<v Speaker 2>through to different people because of their audience. So she

436
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:49.279
<v Speaker 2>might come through, you know, to the people in Mediagori

437
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:52.240
<v Speaker 2>because it's a very big Catholic audience and it's the

438
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:57.319
<v Speaker 2>same message but more specified for them, you know, through me.

439
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:00.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, the people that have read this book have

440
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:05.079
<v Speaker 2>been all different religions, all different walks of life. And

441
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:08.240
<v Speaker 2>that's what she wanted. She wanted to open it up.

442
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:13.000
<v Speaker 2>She's a messenger of God to help us heal, heal

443
00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:15.200
<v Speaker 2>the world, and heal ourselves.

444
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's just that's incredible. I You've taught me so

445
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 1>much through through I've gone to several of your retreats

446
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:31.279
<v Speaker 1>and I've just learned all about Mary Magdalene and Mary

447
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:36.519
<v Speaker 1>and it's just it's incredible. It's opened up my my

448
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:40.759
<v Speaker 1>spirituality quite frankly, and have sent me on a path

449
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:43.960
<v Speaker 1>where I just I keep absorbing more and more and

450
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.079
<v Speaker 1>more and I've I've become, I guess, a much different

451
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.599
<v Speaker 1>person today than I was before I lost my son.

452
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:55.279
<v Speaker 1>And not that I was a bad person before, you know,

453
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.279
<v Speaker 1>I just I'm so much more, I think now if

454
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that makes sense, So it does. And I have you

455
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to think, what does hope look like to you?

456
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Hope is never giving up, always believing that there's something

457
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:19.720
<v Speaker 2>good ahead and not and just to keep on going

458
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:23.359
<v Speaker 2>without saying it's over I can't do that. You know,

459
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:27.240
<v Speaker 2>it's yes I can. There's always yes I can. You know,

460
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:29.480
<v Speaker 2>when I was a little girl, I was taking swimming

461
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.759
<v Speaker 2>lessons and I remember saying to the instructor as a teenager,

462
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I can't, and she said, you will never say that.

463
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:37.960
<v Speaker 2>You will always say I can, I can. I can,

464
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:42.400
<v Speaker 2>And to me, that's hope. It will be It will

465
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:46.079
<v Speaker 2>be better, Everything will be better. We just have to

466
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:47.680
<v Speaker 2>keep on keeping.

467
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:50.640
<v Speaker 1>On, I know. But sometimes you know, it can be

468
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:55.519
<v Speaker 1>so overwhelming, it can pay everything. How do you how

469
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.279
<v Speaker 1>do you just keep that light, that little spark going, but.

470
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:04.559
<v Speaker 2>You just keep on praying and feeling and connecting with people.

471
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:10.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, we again, we're here to help ourselves and

472
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:14.960
<v Speaker 2>to help heal other people. That's what we're here to do.

473
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.039
<v Speaker 2>And the more connection you have with people, and the

474
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.960
<v Speaker 2>more you show your light and then you absorb their light,

475
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:26.359
<v Speaker 2>it floats you.

476
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:36.480
<v Speaker 1>That's incredible. Really, I I I find that having that

477
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:40.400
<v Speaker 1>hope and and that that inner light and shining that

478
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.160
<v Speaker 1>light it actually does. It makes such a difference in

479
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:50.039
<v Speaker 1>your life. I find that I today, I will if

480
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I see someone and I like their hair or their

481
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.680
<v Speaker 1>shirt or their glasses. I tell them, and and the

482
00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:59.160
<v Speaker 1>smile that comes back because you don't know what other

483
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.720
<v Speaker 1>people are going through, right, and it's all of a

484
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:05.960
<v Speaker 1>sudden and now I see that people respond the same

485
00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 1>way to me. And I'll be walking on somebody be

486
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>like I like your nails, and I'd be like, oh,

487
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:11.559
<v Speaker 1>thank you.

488
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:16.920
<v Speaker 2>It brightens your day. I've been I saw something when

489
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I was in California. It's this little book and it

490
00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:23.279
<v Speaker 2>has sayings in it like happy things like you are

491
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:27.079
<v Speaker 2>beautiful or I don't know, quotes from something and I

492
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:31.160
<v Speaker 2>go around and put them on people's windshields. Okay, I

493
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:35.039
<v Speaker 2>love that. We probably get in their car saying, oh God,

494
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:39.720
<v Speaker 2>another advertisement, and it's like something that says, slow down,

495
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:43.799
<v Speaker 2>life is too short, you know, So just you know,

496
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:46.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. You know, you gotta do what you

497
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:51.920
<v Speaker 2>have to do to I don't know, to make other

498
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.200
<v Speaker 2>people happy. The happier you can make somebody else, the

499
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.839
<v Speaker 2>happier you'll be, because it's again, this is this is

500
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:01.119
<v Speaker 2>what we're here for.

501
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yes, I think it's so cuazy. Can you maybe

502
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:13.519
<v Speaker 1>talk a little bit about any of the strangest interactions

503
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:17.079
<v Speaker 1>you've had with the other side.

504
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, my favorite story, which I tell nauseum, but

505
00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I love this story. So it was it was a

506
00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:33.039
<v Speaker 2>little after Thanksgiving and I pulled my car into my

507
00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:37.519
<v Speaker 2>garage and I saw a young man, very nice looking

508
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:40.440
<v Speaker 2>young man. He had on black jeans and a white top.

509
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:43.680
<v Speaker 2>He had dark hair, and he's just standing in the garage.

510
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:48.680
<v Speaker 2>So my okay, So I mean I knew he wasn't

511
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:54.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, he wasn't living so at least not in

512
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:57.519
<v Speaker 2>this realm. And so I came in the house, you know,

513
00:32:57.519 --> 00:32:59.319
<v Speaker 2>and I created money. My husband and my son know

514
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:01.119
<v Speaker 2>there's this guy in the garage, and they look at

515
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:04.720
<v Speaker 2>each other like, you know, this is crazy. And as

516
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:07.440
<v Speaker 2>time went on, he kept appearing and he didn't talk

517
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:12.200
<v Speaker 2>to me. Okay. And then Christmas comes and goes, and

518
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:15.720
<v Speaker 2>at that time I had my Christmas stuff in my

519
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:19.559
<v Speaker 2>attic and the attic door is in my bedroom. There's

520
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:23.039
<v Speaker 2>no wind tunnel in my bedroom, and I'm bringing stuff

521
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:27.400
<v Speaker 2>into the attic and the door closes, and so I think, oh,

522
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:29.759
<v Speaker 2>that's odd. So I go back, I get more stuff,

523
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I bring it up, and the door closes. So now

524
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little like, Okay, I don't like this, So

525
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I come downstairs, and my younger son and my husband

526
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:40.559
<v Speaker 2>were playing video games. And I said, that's not funny.

527
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:43.599
<v Speaker 2>You shouldn't be closing the door. And they looked at

528
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:48.119
<v Speaker 2>me like, we're playing games, we're not upstairs. So okay,

529
00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:50.519
<v Speaker 2>I go back upstairs. I bring some more stuff. The

530
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.160
<v Speaker 2>door closes, I go back. I knew it's this guy,

531
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:56.440
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, okay, we're done. Okay, this is my sandbox.

532
00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:00.359
<v Speaker 2>You're playing and you're not allowed to scare me. And

533
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:03.039
<v Speaker 2>if you're not going to communicate with me, I can't

534
00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:07.960
<v Speaker 2>help you. And he told me his name, and he

535
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:14.119
<v Speaker 2>told me that his girlfriend. He gave a message to

536
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:18.199
<v Speaker 2>his girlfriend and he said that she was pregnant and

537
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:20.639
<v Speaker 2>that the baby was gonna was a boy and was

538
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:22.880
<v Speaker 2>going to look just like him, and that she had

539
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:26.920
<v Speaker 2>a locket and in the locket was his hair. Now

540
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about you, but I don't carry my

541
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:31.480
<v Speaker 2>husband's hair around with me. He doesn't have any hair.

542
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:34.239
<v Speaker 2>But but if he did, I still wouldn't do that.

543
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:37.400
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm like, all right, I don't know I'm

544
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:40.000
<v Speaker 2>going to do with this. So I was getting my

545
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 2>hair cut. Now it's like after you know, new year's

546
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.280
<v Speaker 2>and I'm telling the woman who cut my hair this

547
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:49.599
<v Speaker 2>story and she's like, oh my god, that's my friend.

548
00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:54.440
<v Speaker 2>He died, you know, right after Thanksgiving on ninety five.

549
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:58.760
<v Speaker 2>He had a car accident and his girlfriend is pregnant.

550
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:02.519
<v Speaker 2>And I'm actually owing to the memorial next week. So

551
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:05.559
<v Speaker 2>I said, okay, well you're gonna have to go over

552
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:08.199
<v Speaker 2>to her because you have a message, okay, that you

553
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:11.159
<v Speaker 2>have to give her. And the first thing you have

554
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:13.000
<v Speaker 2>to ask her if she has a locket with hair

555
00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:15.880
<v Speaker 2>in it, and if she says yes and it's his

556
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:19.320
<v Speaker 2>hair and it's his hair, then you can give the message.

557
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:21.039
<v Speaker 2>And this woman was like, I don't want to do this.

558
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you have to do this. So she goes

559
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:28.119
<v Speaker 2>to the memorial. She goes over to this pregnant young

560
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.679
<v Speaker 2>woman and she said, did you better lock it on

561
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:36.920
<v Speaker 2>your neck with you know, Mark's hair in it? And

562
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:41.039
<v Speaker 2>she's like yeah. And she said, well, do you I

563
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:43.519
<v Speaker 2>have something funky to tell you? Do you believe like

564
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.559
<v Speaker 2>in the afterlife? And she said yeah. She said, well

565
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Mark wants the baby baptized and she started to laugh

566
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:56.400
<v Speaker 2>and she said, I don't think so I'm do it.

567
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:01.239
<v Speaker 2>He's nagging me from the grave. Yeah, so I thought

568
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:05.639
<v Speaker 2>that was such a great story. And that woman, the

569
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:09.920
<v Speaker 2>young woman, the pregnant one, actually became a healer. She

570
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:16.079
<v Speaker 2>did this was so earth shattering and so specific that

571
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:18.639
<v Speaker 2>like she became a heal I think. I don't think

572
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:19.760
<v Speaker 2>the baby was baptized.

573
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. Do you think we all have that

574
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:25.280
<v Speaker 1>ability to connect?

575
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:30.039
<v Speaker 2>I think we do. I think what prevents people from

576
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:34.239
<v Speaker 2>connecting is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of what

577
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.320
<v Speaker 2>will how will this change my life? Just like people

578
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:41.280
<v Speaker 2>are afraid to surrender to God's will because but if

579
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:43.960
<v Speaker 2>they don't like God's will, you know, like what if

580
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't want that and God wants that. It's the

581
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:51.199
<v Speaker 2>same thing with intuition. Maybe you know, I will feel

582
00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:53.840
<v Speaker 2>things or maybe if I connect and I can see

583
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:57.599
<v Speaker 2>other people, I'll be bringing in something bad as well.

584
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:01.719
<v Speaker 2>So it's that and it's you know, lack of confidence,

585
00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:05.480
<v Speaker 2>you know that I can't do it. You know, to me,

586
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.960
<v Speaker 2>it's as easy as breathing, because it's I never had

587
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:11.719
<v Speaker 2>the fear because I was born like this. You know.

588
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:17.199
<v Speaker 2>I have taught intuition workshops and there have been amazing

589
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:20.400
<v Speaker 2>things that have come out of them. With people who

590
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:24.039
<v Speaker 2>could absolutely connect. And then there's the other people that say,

591
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:27.440
<v Speaker 2>I can't do this, and that's yeah, you can. You

592
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:29.920
<v Speaker 2>can do this. Stop, you know, stop putting out to

593
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the universe that you can't because you can.

594
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Wow. I just imagine if everybody just believed enough in

595
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:42.199
<v Speaker 1>themselves and their abilities. What a different world it would be.

596
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:48.639
<v Speaker 1>Huh right? Oh my gosh. I sometimes I remember, you know,

597
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:51.559
<v Speaker 1>I think about the connection we have to our animals

598
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:55.320
<v Speaker 1>as well, you know, not just human spirits. But I

599
00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I had an experience with my childhood dog, I ha

600
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:03.119
<v Speaker 1>Haday and I don't know, it was like ten years later,

601
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:07.280
<v Speaker 1>and I was sitting in my car and I smelled him.

602
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.599
<v Speaker 1>And it's so bizarre because you know, you're like, you

603
00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:13.880
<v Speaker 1>smell your dog, but your dog has a specific smell,

604
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:17.440
<v Speaker 1>and for whatever reason, I was just like chestnut, and

605
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, so, is that something you've experienced?

606
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. So you know, I bring that to

607
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:30.559
<v Speaker 2>other people. But my dog passed three years ago on

608
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:35.599
<v Speaker 2>December twenty sixth, and this was my dog. Okay, I

609
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:38.559
<v Speaker 2>love this dog, This dog loved me, and the dog

610
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:42.039
<v Speaker 2>he passed in my arms, and it was devastating for me.

611
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:45.039
<v Speaker 2>And my husband, you know, we cried. You know, it

612
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:47.239
<v Speaker 2>was like I think I cried more for that dog

613
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:50.480
<v Speaker 2>than I did for anybody I ever knew. You know,

614
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:54.079
<v Speaker 2>it was because they're so innocent, okay, And you know,

615
00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:58.039
<v Speaker 2>I kept saying, I don't understand I can pick up

616
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:02.320
<v Speaker 2>other people's animals, I can't I feel Why can't I

617
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:06.960
<v Speaker 2>feel Martini? Why can't I feel him? And you know,

618
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:09.480
<v Speaker 2>so this was like three or four months later, and

619
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:11.960
<v Speaker 2>my husband and I are in bed and we're just

620
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:15.599
<v Speaker 2>at that point, like we're falling asleep, you know, and

621
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel the dog. My dog is slept with us,

622
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:24.840
<v Speaker 2>and so the dog. I felt the dog walking in

623
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:28.880
<v Speaker 2>between us. And then when he didn't like my husband

624
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:31.199
<v Speaker 2>near me, and when he got to the top of

625
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:36.119
<v Speaker 2>the bed, he would go I heard that, and my

626
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:44.000
<v Speaker 2>husband said, Anna, I hear it is that Martini. So

627
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:48.239
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't just me, it was my husband. And after

628
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:52.440
<v Speaker 2>that I felt okay, and I realized because no medium

629
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:55.840
<v Speaker 2>has ever been able to read me, but I realized

630
00:39:56.320 --> 00:40:00.639
<v Speaker 2>kind of what you know, people get from their readings

631
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.719
<v Speaker 2>with me. I knew the dog was okay, I knew

632
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:07.719
<v Speaker 2>he was around. I knew it, and it made me

633
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:11.159
<v Speaker 2>feel so much better. And you know that was it,

634
00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:13.519
<v Speaker 2>the crying stop. We were we were okay.

635
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:17.519
<v Speaker 1>It's funny how that that just just no. I mean,

636
00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:20.280
<v Speaker 1>you know that they're not okay because they're not here,

637
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.519
<v Speaker 1>but that they're okay where they are.

638
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:27.320
<v Speaker 2>It's but they are okay. They are okay because the

639
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.239
<v Speaker 2>truth is there. I mean, and you know it's cliche,

640
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:32.719
<v Speaker 2>oh they're in a better place, but the truth of

641
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:36.639
<v Speaker 2>the matter is it's the truth, you know. You know,

642
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:41.679
<v Speaker 2>heaven is a place that is filled with love and peace,

643
00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:46.559
<v Speaker 2>and there's no anger. There's no you know, problems with

644
00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:51.440
<v Speaker 2>self esteem, there's no competition, there's no judgment, there's none

645
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:55.000
<v Speaker 2>of that. You know. Every day we live, we are

646
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:58.400
<v Speaker 2>closer to death. We live to die. I mean, it

647
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:03.880
<v Speaker 2>sounds fatalistic, you know, but that's the icing on the cake,

648
00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:08.800
<v Speaker 2>is dying. So they are they really are okay. They're

649
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:12.400
<v Speaker 2>okay and they're able. Somebody asked me, you know, do

650
00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:16.840
<v Speaker 2>our relatives miss us? No, because they're around us all

651
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:21.199
<v Speaker 2>the time. We miss them because we're part of this

652
00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:26.880
<v Speaker 2>whole human condition, this whole the human race that can't

653
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:31.039
<v Speaker 2>think beyond the ego and what we know and what

654
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:36.320
<v Speaker 2>we can conceptualize, but they're around us all the time.

655
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:38.320
<v Speaker 2>It's us for missus, it's us.

656
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:41.920
<v Speaker 1>We miss them, you know, it's incredible. Like sometimes I'll

657
00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:46.360
<v Speaker 1>get text or emails on my social pages and people say,

658
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:51.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, I understand suicide. I didn't ask to be born.

659
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't you know, I didn't want to be here.

660
00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:57.000
<v Speaker 1>But but I think the teachings that Mary has taught

661
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:01.079
<v Speaker 1>us are different. Right, we do want to come back here.

662
00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we do. We have We always have choices, whether

663
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:09.880
<v Speaker 2>there are choices as we're living the choices. When we pass,

664
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:14.559
<v Speaker 2>we can decide to reincarnate and come back here. And

665
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:17.199
<v Speaker 2>these people who say I wasn't I didn't ask to

666
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:22.400
<v Speaker 2>be born, that's not true. Because every soul chooses its

667
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:25.639
<v Speaker 2>parents from you know, the lessons that they need to

668
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:31.639
<v Speaker 2>learn in this lifetime. So that's not that's not true.

669
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:34.159
<v Speaker 2>When when people say that that's not true.

670
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:37.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not true, right, it's you know, I feel bad

671
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:39.199
<v Speaker 1>that that's how they feel and they're going through a

672
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:41.480
<v Speaker 1>hard time. But I'm like, as far as I know,

673
00:42:41.639 --> 00:42:45.440
<v Speaker 1>we all make that decision to to to try and

674
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:48.360
<v Speaker 1>raise our vibration coming here to.

675
00:42:48.280 --> 00:42:52.599
<v Speaker 2>Be a better person so that we can we we're

676
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:55.559
<v Speaker 2>never going to be perfect, but the soul wants to

677
00:42:55.760 --> 00:43:01.039
<v Speaker 2>love at a higher level. Yeah, so if the soul

678
00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:03.960
<v Speaker 2>comes back here to try it, I mean, there's a

679
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:08.079
<v Speaker 2>choice but to try.

680
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Right right, I tease. You know, sometimes they say sometimes

681
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:11.800
<v Speaker 1>life is so hard. I must really have been an

682
00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:14.719
<v Speaker 1>overachiever when I wanted to come back here and have

683
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:17.480
<v Speaker 1>all of those things that could go wrong go wrong,

684
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and so I could be that much closer to God.

685
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:25.880
<v Speaker 2>But you know, who knows? You know, you know it's

686
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:29.480
<v Speaker 2>so interesting because there's so much I see and so

687
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:30.960
<v Speaker 2>many questions I still have.

688
00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I know. Well, I was talking to a friend of

689
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:37.199
<v Speaker 1>mine who was just so broken up because their loved

690
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:40.719
<v Speaker 1>one passed away and not in their normal form. They

691
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:44.400
<v Speaker 1>were they you know, it was just terrible what had happened,

692
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and they felt like, you know, grieving even more because

693
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:54.159
<v Speaker 1>they felt like their mother would have just been just

694
00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:57.960
<v Speaker 1>more distraught on the other side because they didn't look

695
00:43:58.039 --> 00:43:58.840
<v Speaker 1>like themselves.

696
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh please, when we pass, we don't, I mean, that's

697
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:07.079
<v Speaker 2>what it's. Yeah, you know, talk about this. Our body

698
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:11.119
<v Speaker 2>doesn't go, you know, our soul goes, and we don't

699
00:44:11.360 --> 00:44:13.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, when they come through to me. Yeah, I

700
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:16.679
<v Speaker 2>can see what they look like when they were walking

701
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:20.039
<v Speaker 2>on the dirt sometimes, but that's not what they look like.

702
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Their energy and you will know them by their energy. Okay,

703
00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:28.719
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to have this is skin and bones,

704
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:33.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's what's it's the soul that that we see.

705
00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:36.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, someone in my family and we go back

706
00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:41.480
<v Speaker 2>and forth with cremation or being buried and somebody said no, no, no,

707
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:46.679
<v Speaker 2>I may need that body. What you know what I

708
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:48.400
<v Speaker 2>want a brand new one.

709
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:51.599
<v Speaker 1>Me too, Me too.

710
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so the mom could not be upset because the

711
00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:00.519
<v Speaker 2>mother is totally insul Yeah.

712
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:02.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean I believe that if you're coming through, like

713
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to a medium like you, I would come through with

714
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:05.400
<v Speaker 1>my best self.

715
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:10.719
<v Speaker 2>So that way they typically do. They typically will come through. No,

716
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:15.119
<v Speaker 2>they have the same personalities, and they typically will come

717
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:20.480
<v Speaker 2>through at a time in their life that they were happy. Okay,

718
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:23.679
<v Speaker 2>So somebody could die at eighty five and come through

719
00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:28.079
<v Speaker 2>to me at fourteen. Wow, But it does stop. So

720
00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:31.639
<v Speaker 2>if somebody dies at twelve, they're never they're never older

721
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:33.639
<v Speaker 2>than twelve, So they can only go.

722
00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:36.199
<v Speaker 1>Back because yeah, I was going to ask you about that.

723
00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:39.559
<v Speaker 2>They can't show me themselves at eighty because they didn't

724
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:41.960
<v Speaker 2>make it to eighty interesting.

725
00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's so that's incredible. Well, I gotta tell you, Anna,

726
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I learned so much from you every time I speak

727
00:45:53.440 --> 00:46:00.119
<v Speaker 1>with you, and it's your story, your connections to Maryes

728
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:05.199
<v Speaker 1>you have for holding space for so many people and

729
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:11.360
<v Speaker 1>teaching all of us about hope and spirit and the

730
00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:14.920
<v Speaker 1>other side. I just I feel the love and I

731
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:19.760
<v Speaker 1>can't thank you enough for that. I usually end every

732
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.880
<v Speaker 1>one of my shows with a poem from Scottie that

733
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I just like to share, and I try and tie

734
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:29.119
<v Speaker 1>it into the interview, but I'm just winging it on

735
00:46:29.159 --> 00:46:33.800
<v Speaker 1>this one, and I'm calling it. Background is the name

736
00:46:33.800 --> 00:46:37.119
<v Speaker 1>of the poem because I figured maybe the spirit's world

737
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:40.280
<v Speaker 1>is always around us in the background. That the poem

738
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:43.480
<v Speaker 1>has nothing to do with spirit. But anyway, I feel

739
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:46.679
<v Speaker 1>like the background to everyone's story. I lead them to

740
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:50.400
<v Speaker 1>success in glory. Well I get left behind in a quarry.

741
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Most of my poems are allegories, but this one is

742
00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:58.239
<v Speaker 1>just exemplatory. I'm trying to show that even though many

743
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:02.280
<v Speaker 1>people know my name, I still feel like I'm behind

744
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:05.559
<v Speaker 1>a frame. It's like a board game and my piece

745
00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:09.079
<v Speaker 1>never gets played. I just sit there and watch as

746
00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:13.199
<v Speaker 1>time goes TikTok, making my life become a writer's block.

747
00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:17.559
<v Speaker 1>I am the autope, which makes my life existence a

748
00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:24.239
<v Speaker 1>photo copy so beautiful. He's so funny. He just you know,

749
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:26.840
<v Speaker 1>he's he's got away with words. I think he was

750
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:30.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to write rap music and rap songs on some

751
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:34.960
<v Speaker 1>of the poems that, yeah, you know, but it does

752
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:38.679
<v Speaker 1>make me think too. Sometimes on the other side that

753
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, we we do focus on, you know, our

754
00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:45.599
<v Speaker 1>current life and and sometimes some of those family members,

755
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:48.800
<v Speaker 1>especially the grandmothers and the grandfathers, that they do sit

756
00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:52.119
<v Speaker 1>behind a frame on the mantle, and we don't always

757
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:52.840
<v Speaker 1>pay attention.

758
00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:57.119
<v Speaker 2>No, That's why they sometimes come through saying like nobody's

759
00:47:57.159 --> 00:48:02.360
<v Speaker 2>talking about me. Oh fature is up somewhere, you know,

760
00:48:03.360 --> 00:48:07.039
<v Speaker 2>but nobody's talking about them. They want to be spoken about.

761
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.079
<v Speaker 2>They want to be That's what keeps them around you.

762
00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:12.559
<v Speaker 2>It's what keeps like their energy vibrant.

763
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, it's so true. And you are such

764
00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:21.519
