As we gather around the warmth of shared memories, this episode touches a tender spot, marking the momentous 80th birthday of my father—a milestone we honor with both joy and a hint of sorrow. My wife joins me as we open our hearts, weaving tales of personal growth through adversity and emotions that special dates stir up when our loved ones are no longer with us. We invite you into a space where comfort is found in collective understanding, and where the cyclical nature of life brings both catharsis and reflection.
Venturing into the spiritual realm, our conversation extends an invitation to those curious about afterlife connections and the solace they can bring. From my own transformation from skeptic to believer, sparked by encounters with Kato the Medium, to the profound impact of a Reiki session, we share experiences that capture the essence of healing and the quest for understanding. It's a journey through the signals we receive, the symbols that guide us, and the validation of bonds that transcend the physical world.
We wrap up with a nod to the American spirit, reflecting on the gratitude that propels us through life's voyage. As your host, I reach out to fellow patriots and seekers of connection, fostering a community that thrives on mutual support and shared dreams. Let's raise a glass to the memories that unite us, to the laughter and tears along the way, and to the messages of love that echo from beyond.

I just happened to be recording episode 183 on a special day for me, because today would be my father's 80th birthday. So, to celebrate and honor Art's special day, I will be joined by my wife today, as she shares a heartwarming, tear-jerking experience that will leave you feeling connected to the afterlife. Let me tell you something Everybody struggles. The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it. The choice is completely yours. Which one you choose will have a very profound effect on the way you live your life. If you find strength in the struggle, then this podcast is for you. You have a relationship that is comfortable with uncomfortable conversations. Uncomfortable conversations challenge you, humble you and they build you. When you sprinkle a little time and distance on it, it all makes sense. Most disagreements, they stem from our own insecurities. You are right where you need to be. What?
Speaker 2:it do.
Speaker 1:What it do Hot dickity. Damn, baby Boo. Am I so friggin excited To be back with you Episode 183. That's 183 consecutive weeks between you and me. It feels so glorious and so special to me. 183, can you believe it? Y'all, I know we got some day ones out there. All those day one lessons, put your fingers up, get your ones up. My special guest today has got her ones up, so happy to see that. If this is your first episode, then welcome to share the struggle podcast. We share all versions of the struggle. I didn't say virgins. I didn't say we shared virgins, I said virgins. Everybody struggles. There's strength in everybody's struggle. You just need the courage to express that struggle, to share that struggle, because there's truth, there's transparency and there's strength that comes from you and me. By sharing what it is, we're experiencing, what it is, we're feeling Safety in numbers, y'all. There's strength for all of us, just by sharing the shit that we go through or, as I like to say, grow through. Don't forget you can find all things podcast related at wwwsharethestrugglepodcastcom. Thank y'all, appreciate y'all Episode 183. And I have a very special guest with me who's going to do actually quite a bit of the talking today, and we have a third guest that isn't actually in the room because it's going to be a recorded portion of the show. It's going to get crazy. Y'all, we got something crazy.
Speaker 3:It's about to get buck wild.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, you could say that it's going to get buck wild. So today I'm the day that I'm actually recording the episode, not on the day that this actually gets released, but on the day that we're recording. It happens to be January 9th, 2024 y'all. And today would be my dad is birthday Today, 80th birthday. Yes, 80th. He was born in 44.
Speaker 3:Do the math, bust math people. That's 80 years old.
Speaker 1:It's easy when there's even numbers at the end, right? That's how I do most of my math when there's even numbers. So today my dad would be 80. It's his first heavenly birthday, I think it's. I don't know if this is common for everybody else, but I feel like it is for our families, and I might have said this before, but, as you, get older even when you're not old. I don't know, I just get so nervous as your birthday approaches. You hate birthdays, yeah, for that reason I enjoy celebrating the meaning behind the birthday.
Speaker 3:Like the day the birthday gets here, you're like a completely different person. But leading up like the couple of weeks to a month before everyone's birthday, you're like you're walking on eggshells.
Speaker 1:Yeah, as you get older, it gets really nervous. For me, I feel like the the day we enter this world, whatever that date is like, we're kind of like a carton of milk.
Speaker 3:That's your expiration date.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:We're pretty close to it.
Speaker 1:You're close to your expiration date. I mean, thankfully we're not all like milk in the sense you have like a month, like three weeks expiration, but Recent milk has only been like a week and a half. Milk that came home expired and chunky. But the point I'm making is it's crazy how we often end up passing moving on with, you know, 30, 60 days around our birthday. It gets real hairy and as the loved ones in my life get older, I get real nervous around their birthdays, because it's always like that.
Speaker 3:And the holidays too.
Speaker 1:Holidays, birthdays, you don't do it with the.
Speaker 3:Christmas holidays and stuff, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Especially now with your dad and Thanksgiving and your grandpa and Christmas, like it's just too close to the holidays, my brother was around Thanksgiving and then. Give me a break.
Speaker 1:Well, it's like my brother died right around Thanksgiving, and then he has his birthday last month, later in December, and then you're rolling to Christmas and my grandfather died on Christmas Eve and his birthday is right around Christmas, and Same thing happened with your dad, yeah. My dad died at Thanksgiving and then you know, a few weeks after Christmas there's his birthday. So those things always make me nervous. It's one of those weird things that once you get like 60 days past your birthday, I always have this like relief sense of energy.
Speaker 3:I really Clear, the clear.
Speaker 1:Yes, I said that with my dad last year. I was like we got another year boys and that's just how I feel. I know it's weird, but once my dad like when I realized, hey, shit, it's like March or it's April. I'm like we got another year. My dad's going to be here for another year, but I was. Unfortunately I was right, but I was also too right because I only got another year. You know, but crazy how that is. I don't know if that's the case for for many other people, but I feel like with our families it's kind of rings pretty true.
Speaker 3:For sure, friends and family.
Speaker 1:So if your birthday is coming, I'll pray for you. Fucking eh.
Speaker 3:Start a prayer chain.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's going to go, let us know.
Speaker 3:I'm joined by you today for something special and we're going to jump into the spiritual side of life.
Speaker 1:We're definitely going to go spiritual today and I hinted towards this a couple of weeks ago because you had a recent spiritual encounter, a confirmation into what we've been thinking, what we've been seeing, what we've been believing, and we're going to bring that up. But I never could have imagined what that would have blossomed into, because that experience, that encounter for you, really ramped up this week and the last two weeks has really ramped up between Reiki and what's what we're about to talk about. What we're about to get into, I think, is eye opening. It's, you know, it's going to definitely draw on some emotion. It might, you know, get the tear ducks flowing but it's comfort.
Speaker 3:It's comfort, yes, but it also doesn't make me afraid of death as much as you used to.
Speaker 1:You used to be.
Speaker 3:I agree you know what I mean. Like for and we'll get more into this but like to know that there is a way to communicate with your loved ones who are here on earth. And seeing that more clearly, like I've seen that, and I believe in that, and I believe in the signs and the symptoms.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're not working right now. You don't need to look at the signs and symptoms.
Speaker 3:Oh gosh, I believe in those sort of things and you know that comes from, you know doing lots of soul searching when it comes to, like you know, losing my mom and meh, meh and that sort of thing. But more so now with pops and how, like eye opening and like in your face. It's been like these last like couple of weeks. So it's been like he's like hey, I'm here, Hello, Like open your eyes and listen to me.
Speaker 1:So yes, you're going to be able to share some of these things. These things haven't really been happening for me. It's been more so for you and my mom and, ironically, I'm really a lot for you you know. So that's what we're going to kind of get into today. So I don't really know a better way to kind of tee it up. So I got someone to hand it over to you, Buttercup, and then you can, you know, maybe share what it was I was hinting towards a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3:So, as Keith might have mentioned in the last episode, I have been kind of soul searching a little bit when it comes to going to Reiki and the spiritual side of life just for myself, just trying to fine tune my spiritual guidance, and so I've been following this girl on TikTok and you can find her TikTok handle is Kato the medium, and that's K A T O the medium and she's phenomenal Like I've been watching her for quite some time and she does a live every day about lunch time and, yep, I watch from my office. So, lori, if you're listening to this, I don't know what you're talking about. So every day, between like 12 and two, she does a live and she'll do live spiritual readings and they're completely free. She will do like a donation or like card polls and something different that she does charge for, but the free spiritual readings that she does every day is basically just trying to get people interested in what she does and gain her followers and basically just prove that what she's doing is real and genuine. So every single day and I mean every single day I watch her at lunchtime and so she does these like spiritual journeys and you basically follow along with her and then, when she gets to a certain part she'll say like now, please put your loved one's name first name only in the comment section and I'll always put I'll go back and forth between your dad and meh meh, and every now and again I'll throw my mom's name in there just to see where it goes, because there's so many people you never know you never know. you never know and I don't know who wants to come forward and say something. So every single day I always go through this rotation and I'm like one of them has to have something to say. Mind you, there's 400 people in most of these like live viewers.
Speaker 1:She has a very large following 86,000 or something, 86,000 people.
Speaker 3:Followers on TikTok. She doesn't follow that many people. That's how many people follow her?
Speaker 1:Yeah, 86,000 people. So every day, if she's doing a live, because you showed me this lady and there's, you know, 3, 4, 500 people every single time on there and they're all throwing names in there.
Speaker 3:In case you're wondering, she only has 189 followers. Like she follows 189 people 189 people.
Speaker 1:A lot of these accounts. They'll follow 4,000 people and have 4,000 followers, right? She only follows 180 people and she has 86,000 people that follow her, and the thing is, there's no time for research when.
Speaker 3:No, not when you're live.
Speaker 1:They're doing a live and somebody's just throwing a first name out. You have 86,000 followers. You're not going to look all of them up. At any given time there's 4, 500 people listening to you. So you're not going to research this? You don't have time for that and also just to kind of put it out there for anybody, that just from my experience and the short amount that I've seen, as you showed me because you listen to her every day. So from my point of view she's not like other mediums.
Speaker 3:Oh no, she has ADHD and she'll tell you she's all over the place, she's all over the place.
Speaker 1:The first time I saw her, you were actually in like a class thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and you're like God, she's a nut job Like this lady's fucking bat shit she is. She's like ding ding, ding, ding ding. Only because she's all over the place. All over the place.
Speaker 1:Like all over the place and she's. And I guess, if people, if this is your day one listening to me, I'm the same you are, I'm all over the place right, I will ramble, I will go down dark, deep, desolate roads.
Speaker 2:And then you'll cry.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I'll throw out common F-bombs and sexual jokes.
Speaker 3:And that's exactly what she does.
Speaker 1:She's very much like that, so I should apologize because.
Speaker 3:But I mean, if you're just tuning into her, because the first time that I tuned into her I was like she was like F this and F that, and if you don't like me, suck my ass.
Speaker 1:And I was like, yeah, girl, which is totally fine, but you also Let me as a medium. You're like, look at it and you're like it's not what you expect. So you're like does she just saying these things and then making shit up as she goes? Well, that's why.
Speaker 3:I started to watch because I have done my soul searching and I have worked with mediums before and so I've had the opportunity to kind of see through the good, bad and otherwise just from experience. So I had the chance to kind of just sit in her life and that's exactly what it started, as is I just started watching and I would just put her on and keep working, but I'm listening, I have my headphones on and we went to go see Theresa Caputo, like what twice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's been quite some time actually.
Speaker 3:We brought my dad to see her. We did, and one thing he got a reading from her at the thing. I still can't even believe that I'm just here.
Speaker 1:I am going down the rabbit hole and I'm not trying to do that.
Speaker 3:But no, it's still medium related and we did bring your dad, so this is about your dad. So one thing that's always resonated with me when it comes to watching these mediums whether she comes forward to me and has a message for me or not One of the things that Theresa said while she stood on stage in her six inch stilettos she said to me not to me. I felt like she was talking to me. She says if I stand up here and I say something that resonates with you, please take it as a sign as your loved ones are coming forward. So when I sit there and I listen to Cato, there are sometimes that she'll say things that'll catch me off guard, that I'll be like whoa, hold on a second, wait one minute, what did she just say? And then I'll tune in and I'm watching her now while she's doing these other readings. So last week she was doing a reading and she had finished up a reading and every now and again in between readings you can throw some questions in there, like in the chat, like not just the names, like she's not looking for names, like she'll answer random questions and then she'll pull somebody else to do a reading. So, as I normally do I just throw a question in there. Please let me know Arthur has transferred over, he's made it to his resting place, he's at peace. And to my surprise, she picked my comment, she picked my question and said to us I can't remember verbatim, but basically it was like yes, he's at peace and he's come back as a majestic bird. How the fuck would she know that? How the fuck? I mean, she could have said he came back as a bluejay, like he could have come back as a deer. Nope, a fucking majestic bird. I don't know how many of you know what a majestic bird is, but the only one that comes to mind for me is a bald eagle. And how many bald eagles have we talked about that? We've seen all these sort of things and I was like- Very remarkable.
Speaker 1:When you said that to me, I was like maybe I should take this lady as air. Yes, here, because I mean these things for everybody to understand. You've been on any kind of live shit, if you've even been on one of my lives, and we're doing a sale of All Out but America people are throwing questions in there. I don't even see half of them right. And then you take whatever we're doing and multiply it to an audience of 86,000 and people are throwing all these, so she probably has 5, 600 comments flying through her screen at every second and she sees your question and says yeah, and he came back as a majestic bird.
Speaker 3:Like get the fuck out of here. Seriously, I was like, oh my God, thank you, that's all I needed.
Speaker 1:That's confirmation that we've been right and that these dots are all getting connected.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Yep, and then so Pops is definitely. He's shown his true colors and he's come forward and let us know he's shown his true feathers. For sure and he's literally let us know like I'm okay, I'm at peace, I'm where I need to be and I'm okay. We knew he was always okay. We always knew he was okay. But just having someone who lives in Nashville, tennessee, who doesn't know me from Dick down the street who lives in Nashville, she does. Another reason I know.
Speaker 1:I saw there's cheap flights coming. I know I was gonna put it out there For all my maniacs out there that don't know this. I stumbled upon a factoid last night and here's how I get off script. Southwest is going to be doing direct flights to Nashville, tennessee, and I was doing my early research, starting in June, and it took 140 bucks.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, shit.
Speaker 1:Anyways, maybe we'll have to go meet her. So now back back.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she does live shows Back to you. Yeah, so I mean, it just resonated.
Speaker 1:Minds will skip ahead and you can make another connection on the story with one of your habitual goodwill visits.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I snuck over to the goodwill the other day and I was getting out of my car, goodwill in Bideford, which is like the slum of the slum, you know what I mean. But I love the goodwill, I love the goodwill. I'm a sucker for a thrift shop, I am. So I get out of my car and I hear this like God, awful, like squawking, like do you want to try and make the squawk sound? Cause I can't do it.
Speaker 1:Ah, that was it around there.
Speaker 3:It was worse than that, but ah.
Speaker 1:It was Bideford, so it could have been like a hawk with a smoker's cough.
Speaker 3:I believe you, you all right with me. So I like happened to like look over, like across the parking lot, like above the trees, and I saw a hawk and I was like, huh, there's a hawk. And then to my surprise circles around this fucking bald eagle, I'm in Bideford Maine. Y'all Like Bideford Maine. What's the bub?
Speaker 1:business? What Everlovin' business Does the bald eagle have the goodwill? Seriously, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Seriously. So he like circles. He like circles around this hawk and they were, like I don't know, bickering a little bit, and then he like takes off behind the building. Here I am like almost getting run over by cars. I'm chasing him through the parking lot Like I'm trying to get a video so that I can send it to you, because I was like I'm in Bideford, like why, why are you here?
Speaker 1:It's crazy because I'm 41. And up until recently, I've seen two bald eagles in my entire life.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've never seen so many bald eagles in my goddamn life, and I mean a lot of people out there would say oh well, guess what, sherlock?
Speaker 1:Maybe a couple of them moved the town and now you're seeing them all the time.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, coincidence maybe, but I'm not. I think it's a sign From Pops. I mean, we did see that one bald eagle shredding whatever was out on the marsh, that one time?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was years ago. We went around and by and saw one shredding a seagull.
Speaker 3:Both of us were driving along. We looked at each other and was like was that a fucking eagle? We whipped around so quick, Destroying a carcass. There were feathers everywhere.
Speaker 1:The crazy thing is when we stopped to check that out, there was a dude with a camera down the way taking pictures of sandpipers. And we're like if that douchebag would look just to the left a little bit, he would see a fucking eagle tearing apart a seagull.
Speaker 3:Look in his lens, maybe.
Speaker 1:Seriously. Like oh, look at the majestic little sandpiper.
Speaker 3:Oh my god, is that eagle ripping the shreds off of a seagull Out of a sandpiper? Oh god, so yeah, I did see, it was like you took a down pillow and had a pillow fight. There was feathers everywhere, I threw it in the air. Yeah, so I did go to the Goodwill and I do have to tell you all, here's a secret about the Goodwill.
Speaker 1:Don't tell people what you bought on the Goodwill.
Speaker 3:Why.
Speaker 1:Oh no, you can, it's fine.
Speaker 3:I wasn't going to tell them. I was actually just going to tell them that I only go to the Goodwill. I refuse. We'll only go to the Goodwill if the Goodwill gods call me and say hey, listen, you got to go to the Goodwill. I have like an what is that? An inkling? Is that what they call it?
Speaker 1:Maybe, maybe it's just a fart, but I it's a what?
Speaker 3:Maybe it's just a fart, I don't know, but I get this, I get this feeling and I go to the Goodwill.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's gas.
Speaker 3:Maybe. But guess what? Every single time I do I find something pretty sweet, really nice, really nice. And I don't know the Goodwill gods call me and they say, girl, you better get over here.
Speaker 1:Get it.
Speaker 3:So that's what happened, Well.
Speaker 1:I'll do the favor of trying to bring you back on track, because you should do this for me. So you've had this interaction with Kato. You're running to an eagle, but there was also, as you've said, to kind of lead this conversation. you've been doing some like soul searching and trying to, Like, Center yourself, to heal, to get back on track not necessarily like you know feeling yourself lately and kind of wanted to get grounded and centered and the biggest successful thing for you has been Reiki. And it had been some time and you've had many conversations on here about Reiki and benefits and the power of it and have encouraged everybody to do it. So it was Saturday, wasn't it? Saturday it was a week ago right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Saturday before New Year's.
Speaker 1:So it's been two weeks. Is that the 30th? The 30th?
Speaker 3:So, yeah, I had an appointment with Missy and this was and I typically do this for myself to basically start the New Year fresh. So, like, let go of all bad juju, start the New Year. And so I went in and it was just a, you know, standard session, working on aligning my chakras, cleaning out all voids, cutting cords, doing all the things. And so she says to me I'm going to give you four elements. This is at the end of the end of the session. She says I'm going to give you four elements Wind, fire, earth and water. Ok, and I want you to choose one. Tell me which one means the most to you. And I said, well, I do love the ocean and I do find myself like drawn to water. And she says, ok, ok, any others. And I was like, well, you just told me to pick one, but fire definitely. Like I mean I will sit on top of the fireplace, like I'm sitting in it for God's sakes, like fire is just, it's my soul. And she says fire, yeah, that's the right one, that's the right one for you. And I said, ok, I'm listening. And she says I need you to go home and I need you to have a sacred fire. And I said what is a sacred fire? And so basically what she says is like you write down a bunch of things and you start like things you need to let go of and you put them on pieces of paper and then you burn them. Or you could write a letter and basically, to let go to heal, you burn it. And we've done this in previous episodes with her or sessions. So she says to me she's telling me about the sacred fire and she says but you have to do it in a specific barrel. And I said, and I just start laughing, and I said OK, and she says I said can you explain this barrel to me, because we had been burning?
Speaker 1:Yeah, we have been there's. My dad has one large burn barrel.
Speaker 3:It's like an old oil barrel, right Oil drum. Yeah, it's a massive one, that's been cut in half.
Speaker 1:And, as you guys have heard before, when we talk about the first Monday without my dad, when we were going to the funeral home and that eagle showed up, I mentioned this piece of land that we've been clearing and we've been using this big burn barrel to burn a bunch of old plywood and wood and all this stuff. And actually right after Christmas this might be illegal, I guess, but we were burning some more of that wood and we were burning our old Christmas wrapping paper. I don't think that's illegal and it was tradition for my dad every year, every year After Christmas, he would always Burns the wrapping paper in the backboard, but not in that barrel. That's not where he would burn.
Speaker 3:Right. So I start asking her can you explain this barrel to me, because I knew that we had been burning? And she says all I can see and all I can vision is a bunch of hobos standing around like a trash can, like a barrel. And I tell you what. I started laughing so hard and she's like what's so funny? And I said I know exactly what you're talking about. My father-in-law has a barrel and we burn paper in it, and paper only in that barrel.
Speaker 1:And she says well, we burn paper in it. My old man would burn wire in it.
Speaker 3:Right, right. So he would burn the Christmas paper. But he would burn the Christmas paper, he would start a fire in it and he would burn wire in it to get the copper out of it to hold the junkyard. Right. So she had explained to me that I needed to go home and have a fire in this barrel. And I thought that that was hilarious, Because I came home and you were burning in the wrong barrel the day before and he knew it. And he said you better quit that shit and you better go home and have a fire in my barrel immediately. The barrel you're talking about is a hobo barrel, right it's an old oil drum, old oil drum that my dad Small trash can Looks about a trash can right Metal trash. can that?
Speaker 1:my dad has chopped holes in it with an X for ventilation and he would burn small wood in there. And if he was working outside at the word of time he might have that going for heat. Always burn wire in it to get to the copper and whatever. Always burned in the rain? Yeah, and he would burn cardboard and paper.
Speaker 3:And you'd have that grate on the top.
Speaker 1:And I ruined the grate when he was in the hospital because I used it to drag the driveway. And I told him I apologize, but I owe you a new grate for your fireplace. So that was his barrel.
Speaker 3:That's what he liked to burn, so he came to session.
Speaker 1:The big one was more of a special occasion, and that's been an all occasion for us and he did not like it. The fact that your lady from Rakey described the hobo barrel that my dad has Not like.
Speaker 3:I've ever taken a picture of it and posted it or anything like that. You wouldn't know that whenever you're done.
Speaker 1:You'd hate for some. Enjoy yourself. Thanks for ruining the recording. It's just a snoring and you're dragging your fucking toes.
Speaker 3:Go lay down and shelving we raise assholes.
Speaker 1:We really do Any day now.
Speaker 3:Are you done?
Speaker 1:You good, ok, proceed.
Speaker 3:No, he's thinking about it. He's still inside the doorway.
Speaker 1:You can get a couple sentences in before he makes another loud noise.
Speaker 3:I was just checking. I told you you're good, yeah, you're good. So, yeah, just for her to be able to validate that barrel was just like OK, yep, he's here. In that same session we always finish with a spiritual drum solo. That's very big. In Indian culture You'd typically see around a bonfire, what they call powwows, and she ends every one of my sessions with the drum solo, and so during our session she's having a meditation and I am as well, so both of us are completely silent in the room, and so she says to herself and she explains this to me after. Obviously, she says to herself I'm not going to have time for the drum solo today. We're running behind. Here's my mom comes forward and said you better fucking make time, you better make time for that drum solo because that's happening, that happens all the time and it's very spiritual for our family. You're fucking doing it. I was like, so she's telling me all this after and I go yep, that's my mom. So both my mom figure and your dad came forward in my Reiki session and I mean it's phenomenal. It doesn't make me so much afraid of death, as death is the end.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's one of those things that, for the longest time in my life, was my biggest fear. You always stress and worry about your work here not being done, that you didn't do what you needed to do didn't live your life purpose. Didn't fulfill your commitments. And then you left your family and friends too early, and I want to think about the final, fatal feeling of not seeing anybody again. And this whole experience has definitely left me encouraged that if we all believe in the same things and live in a certain way, that someday, some way, we'll be together again.
Speaker 3:Absolutely, absolutely. So. Last week we had another lunch break live session with Kato and, ok, again, to my surprise, she shows me and I think that we want to share that with you that moment that I had, because it was more than her just answering a question, it was 15 minutes of her and I soul searching with Pops and I think that today, on his birthday, more than ever, I think we want to share that with you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what more important and appropriate thing to do than to share a conversation that you had with my dad since his passing?
Speaker 2:right.
Speaker 1:Connecting to that afterlife, that which I hope and pray that what we share today gives everyone a sense of comfort and closure for their own personal experiences or their own family with their own loved ones, that they moved on and that they're okay and that there's an opportunity and a promise for you to see them again some day, as long as you believe and live in that way.
Speaker 3:I think this is also, if you're not necessarily 100% on board with mediumship. I hope that us sharing our story allows you to maybe be a little more open to it a little more open to the signs that your loved ones are here. You just have to see the signs, acknowledge them and continue to acknowledge them, because the more you acknowledge them, the more they're going to show up and continue to show you those signs. The more you dismiss them, the less you're going to see them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you go through life ignoring what's put in front of you, then there's no longer going to be shown to you.
Speaker 3:They're not going to serve you any longer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I think that's a metaphor for life. There's opportunities that are going to present themselves to you, but if you continue to not take advantage of those, if you, as we talk about just about every episode that you have to take chances and you have to get uncomfortable, then if you live your life not doing so, then eventually these opportunities aren't going to come. And that's words to live by and advice to live by in life that if you keep staying in your lane and focusing on the here and now and not allowing yourself to be inspired by things, allowing yourself to take risks, to take chances, that life passes you by. And the same thing happens for our loved ones that have moved on. If they keep trying to come to you and present themselves to you to give you signs that they think that you might need to pull through, to hang in there, to you know, to cheer up, to better yourself. If you keep ignoring those things and they're going to eventually just not present them to you you know, I think we all have to be open to those things and it's just about living your life with some optimism, some hope, some belief, some faith, you know open eyes is what you need.
Speaker 3:So the nice thing about this is that this was Tuesday, the second when I went back to work right after my Reiki session. So I was completely clearheaded, I was completely like realigned, I was grounded, I was very much in a very good place, and so at that time, lunchtime had rolled around and once again she does her spiel going up into the attic space. So if you watch her, you'll see that she does these spiels, and it's you know. Go up into your attic space, clear your mind, grab your loved ones, bring them down with you, double tap the screen and bring your loved ones into the comments. That's basically the rundown, and so that's what I had done. But this time, for whatever reason, I didn't go back and forth between the names, it was strictly just your dad and I had looked up at the count on how many people were in the live at one point, and there was over 400 people. So with that many people, as you mentioned earlier, you have to continuously put your name, put your comment, put your comment, put your comment over and over and over again, because as soon as you put one comment, six people comment and it's gone.
Speaker 1:It's gone.
Speaker 3:So I kept putting it in, putting it in, putting it in, putting it in like religiously, copy paste, copy paste, copy paste. And I was like I'm doing this, I'm double tapping the screen, I'm putting his name in, double tapping. So basically what she's saying is that I am taking my energy, which I'm asking, I'm going up to a higher vibration and I am asking for pops to come forward and I am grabbing his energy and I'm grabbing his higher vibration and I am putting him in the comment section and I am pushing my energy to her by double tapping the screen and constantly commenting. And that's what I'm doing over and over and over and over again, religiously, like, for no joke, five minutes, like I am like motor fingers art, art, art, art, arthur, arthur, art, arthur, art, arthur. Double tap, double tap in and out. So then a comment comes across and it says hold your comments, cato has picked someone. At this point normally I'm like, yeah, I don't feel it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It's not me, and then she'll start talking about the person She'll use he she pronouns, and then whoever I put in the comments, like if it's pops and they say she, then I just like I go back to work, but I still listen.
Speaker 1:I still listen. You know what I mean. Yeah, yeah yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3:This time was different. I didn't tune out because what she was saying I didn't necessarily have like a full, like this could be me, but I also didn't have a full, like no, this isn't me, I'm going to move on to different things. So I kept tuning in and I'm listening to the messages and I'm listening to what she's saying and something just said like just stick around, just stick around. And to my surprise, she picked us, she picked pops, she said, uh, Lady Liberty wants to talk to Arthur. It was just so. I felt like I was going to vomit. Yeah, I like I don't know, I felt my heart skip a beat, I'm shaking and she says are you here? And we're going to play the play the clip. But just thinking about it now I just I can feel the emotions, Like I'm, I'm like all the things, like I want to vomit, I want to, I'm shaking, like I have butterflies and I'm like that's me, that's I literally put in the comments that's me, me, that's me. Um, just to know that I had a feeling this wasn't like normal, this wasn't the normal like.
Speaker 1:Oh, maybe it's me type of scenario, right.
Speaker 3:Maybe yeah, no, this was, I feel a little different.
Speaker 1:This is I need to tune into this, so so what we're gonna do, and just to kind of paint the picture here, to kind of pave the road when you did this and you had all this happening, many people reached out to you and said I'm recording this, I'll send it to you. I had recorded myself too.
Speaker 3:But one thing that Kato will talk about is that when you are tuning in to spiritual, higher vibrations, a lot of things will happen to your internet connection. You'll lose internet connection, you'll be bounced out, you'll be, you may lose everything, and that's exactly what happened to me. Other people had recorded it, but mine was completely lost. I could see up in the corner of my iPhone that my phone was recording, like the red light was blinking the entire time telling me that it's screen recording for me, like I can see all of it, and as soon as I hit done, it was gone. But somebody else had.
Speaker 1:She posted it all.
Speaker 3:She hasn't posted it, yet she said she was going to.
Speaker 1:And she seemed excited about it. But, you had multiple people send it to you. And then the recording that you're playing is the one that you kind of pieced them all together.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I had to piece it together because, as we talked about, she's kind of a space case sometimes.
Speaker 1:So what we're going to try to do is you're going to play through her recording. And then as we catch things where because we know what the meaning is, where we want to kind of elaborate on a few things, then we'll try to pause the recording.
Speaker 3:And we'll be able to like kind of break it down and kind of like break it down for you guys.
Speaker 1:But we're going to take you to the actual recording of Kato the medium and Allie on her lunch break. So you ready to give it a shot? Okay?
Speaker 2:Ooh, I really hope this worked. I want to be one of you and hope God, this is right. No, I think it's right. I got to write more things down. I'm just fucking with you. He's funny. Oops, I spelled funny wrong. He sucks at spelling. I want to like show you guys what I'm writing, but okay, funny, what was I going to say? And then he tells me to still smell him. This is definitely primary guardian angel. I keep seeing, like, but he does tell me it's that. So I think this. I don't know why I'm drawn arrows. Okay, here we go, let's see, let's see. All right. So I have chosen some arrows, but we have other sign symbols, like clothing and some other things. So see the different pictures and then, with words, same thing we do up here, you know okay. So let's see if this pans out.
Speaker 3:So, right there, she has taken the time to again put herself at a higher vibration and is channeling pops. So he is telling her messages. And right when she said you still smell him, I immediately, immediately, tuned in, because his dog and you'll hear it his dog lays on his jacket and smells him. So it was those things.
Speaker 1:It already starts to get to get tough here and to kind of paint the picture of everybody. She has a sketch pad. And if you guys can see this on the video.
Speaker 3:It's just a blank sketch pad.
Speaker 1:Maybe what we could do I'll look into this later about maybe uploading the link to our social media.
Speaker 3:I do have the link for this entire yeah and maybe you can get it on our show notes and then I'll let everybody know when that's up there.
Speaker 1:But she has a sketch pad and she'll draw things. When you hear her saying like I'm drawing arrows and I'm circling back, couple of things we wanna cue in on, she says clothing and she draws like a T-shirt. So couple of things as we get rolling here so we don't have to stop you so soon. Number one y'all know we own a clothing brand, right? So I think that's one key for me is when he starts saying clothing, that brings a connection. I mean, we own a clothing brand. My dad's extremely proud of our brand. He'd wear one of our T-shirts for a week straight, seriously so Unwashed. So that's part of it. Also, when mentioning clothing, if you listen to our episode for Christmas, together we had designed an, a loving memory logo that you used for some vinyls. I took that and surprised the family by adding that and loving memory logo to T-shirts that we gave away for Christmas. And then the scent thing when you get back to clothing my dad's dog, maggie, has been so sick about him not being around. She's actually like chewing her fur off. She's so stressed out.
Speaker 3:She actually stole one of his jackets. Yeah, so it's one of my dad's jackets.
Speaker 1:My mom left it for her in one of her favorite spots to lay, so you will go into my parents' basement and on the way to my dad's workshop. In the laundry area you'll see his big ass yellow lab sleeping on one of my dad's jackets because she will just. Just crying, put her face in there, smell him and just ball her eyes out and sleep. It's heartbreaking, very heartbreaking, but when she's identifying clothing, we now have three connections to it. His dog sleeping on the clothes, our apparel brand, what we do for a living, the memory and memory shirts that we've made, and then you connect it with the scent that goes back to the dog. So those are just some of the connections and this is all what she's throwing on the sketch pad, so that's gonna come up here in a second here, so, For me.
Speaker 2:He's strong spirit right now. If I call you, I wanna make sure that you have the ability to get back to me. I am looking for someone named Liberty looking for Arthur. Lady Liberty, looking for Arthur. Are you here? Oh, my God, that's me. She says you guys make sure you're following. Hi, you have really good vibes. This person is telling me something about you right off the bat. Like you find yourself getting really frustrated easily. That's because I look at your home life and I wanna beat my fucking head against a wall Like every 90 days because you deal with the same shit. That makes you frustrated and no.
Speaker 3:Their spirits, tuning in the amount of working on yourself is helping. I'm not skipping it, it's literally that's what she talks about spirits just tuning in and skipping her out like Did that pause on its own. No, that's just where it, where it skips. Yeah that's what she like. Tunes in on push plate.
Speaker 1:Let's just pour a couple things out there. You have been trying to work on yourself.
Speaker 2:That's the Reiki and all the other things that you're doing.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:We have been living in a great deal of frustration, and a lot of that is that our homework life scenarios but I'm glad our chaos unorganized clutter and I have said to the listeners my New Year's resolution is to get organized, because my business and in everything with with my dad and the business trying to grow Even before what happened with my dad, that kind of put a magnifying lens on it. It's blended itself into our home life and all hell is broken loose. Yeah, it's the most disorganized that we've ever been and it's hard, it's overwhelming, it's hard to move, it's hard to function, sometimes it's hard to breathe. It is our business is Not growing as fast as we want it to, but it's growing enough that we also can't Handle where to put things, and that's taken over all avenues of our life and then and then everything else that we're just not Organized in. It's all kind of blended itself in so it's been chaotic. So it's kind of ironic that your soul searching and I'm talking about a resolution and this is already coming up in the conversation.
Speaker 3:You know yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because you're not the fucking problem, lady, but that's just what I wanted to say right off of that. You know what I'm saying? Just what I want to say right off of that. So here we go. Lady Liberty, you're talking to Arthur. Yeah, sometimes I give a little bit of a psychic reading when I start like, by the way, your loved one says this, and then I start to talk to dead people for you. Okay, and he just passed away. I Love this for us. Okay, hold on. So we're talking about this male on the other side. His name is Arthur. He just recently passed away. So we're channeling him less than 60 days of him Leaving us your little shit head, okay. And so he tells me a couple things about himself. Let me just go down this list. You tell me if any of it's right. You know I'm saying so. He tells me he passes suddenly. I have a little bit of gray next to me which tells okay, I see the, I see the arrows. Now let's follow the arrows. Shall we remember those arrows we were drawing, let's do this. So, oh, okay. So he has a female on the other side, either his wifey or your grandma, okay, so any who so male passes suddenly. So I see a little bit of gray, which does typically tell me it's underlying or something underlying that gets us when we don't. It's something, something that gets us when we don't expect to get. God didn't expect to die the day that he did right back. I can't say I didn't see it coming. Maybe I just, yeah, can't say I didn't see it coming, okay. Then he draws me another arrow and says medically, okay, so I'm like medical. He gives me another interesting fact about a vehicle of some sort. So, and then he tells me that it was suddenly, but suddenly is up here with gray Medical, something underlying that ends up taking him. Could be upper chest. Okay, because I did just talk about that heart thing before I came on. He also talks about a vehicle. He gives me my science symbol for car accident. You found out on the 14th and he passed on the 19th. I'm like he didn't expect it to be that day but it was gray and underlying, and he really. But we're backing up a second just to cover, just to rate, just to rake over our coals here, okay. And he found out he had leukemia, which is medical, but it was gray. So we didn't find out in time, or we didn't think it would happen as soon as it did. Then he passed. Was he unable to drive, or something? Honestly, now, when I look at this car accident because he told me, he told me the vital word for it was Accidents so, okay, we didn't mean to and it wasn't intentional neglect. But then, like, maybe he has some sort of possessions that he was really attached to and maybe he's wondering, like where those things are going. Typically not what they say or ask on here, but I just had to like, so I think that's what he meant. And then, and then, okay, so then he's showed me multiple times that in his oh, father figure potentially a grandfather figure, but father figure, he's very funny. He has a Back in his time. I would say he has darker hair. I see him end of life glasses, okay. And then he tells me he's very funny, and then we have an article of clothing in honor of his memory. Okay, I was like father ish. Okay, so, father in law, he collapsed at the flea market which brought him to the hospital. So this is so he's going. Okay, that could be the vehicle I was like. The only reason I didn't wish that in there is because I'm like, if he just told us he passed medically, why the fuck would it be a vehicle? But look at, it's all. It's all connected via those arrows I drew anyway. So I love this. It was gray and underlying car vehicle. It wasn't necessarily a car accident, but the whole fucking thing was an accident, right, okay? So suddenly Did I ask you if he was still getting around those last few days, because I definitely had that thought. Hopefully my ramble-bamble kind of we drive his truck all the time and we still use it on the farm, come they, fuck on right now. Look, I feel like he's saying so much I can't even. I'm like how about you just talk? How about you just talk? Yeah, and he shouldn't have been and you still use his and and never. When I said Everyone, I said what are we doing with it? He doesn't typically you know, spirit doesn't typically ask that question. But what are we doing with it? Oh, and then he talks about the clothes that we still have. Basically, you still have so much of his things In honor of his memory. We might even choose to create things in honor of his memory and he likes it Okay.
Speaker 3:So I think that that's a good point to point out, like all of us just got Necklaces with his ashes in it. We just did some renovating in your mom's house. She has all the clothes from your dad, all of his like belongings in the house, and there's just so many things around the house Making mentioned.
Speaker 1:Yeah for Christmas. You know, and like you said, obviously my mother has his ashes.
Speaker 2:I have his ashes.
Speaker 1:But you and me have necklaces made we got for Christmas my niece and nephew the same way and the one of the funny things about what are you doing with it when it comes to the truck is that he always pushed on us when he was in the hospital, that when he was coherent, he wanted us to do things with the truck right. When he was like delirious, he would be paranoid that we were like taking the truck. Yeah but we actually showed him a video of you hauling the horse trailer and the camper and the camper with the truck and then with Presley with. Presley, yeah, I call ragamuffin in the in the passenger scene. He loved it. He thought it was great and he talked about how you know much the truck you know could handle. And this is in that, when you weren't there, like the next day, he came out of like sleeping and looks at me and said that horse trailer is not still attached to my truck, is it? And it was? And I said no, no, no. It's not now, ironically, when this whole Conversation happens. It's sitting in the door yard with the horse trailer and the night before this happened, at the nighttime, I was trying to park the horse trailer and my dad's truck on this dark you know, slanted road that's washed out and slid off of it and buried. It Buried the horse trailer and my dad's truck and I had to pull both of them out with my old truck. So for him to be like, what are you doing with it?
Speaker 3:He was more like what the fuck the fuck?
Speaker 1:just happened, are you doing? And that I can clearly see that you still have that trailer hitched to my truck?
Speaker 3:like I asked you not to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah kind of funny that these things are.
Speaker 3:these things are coming up Mm-hmm, absolutely.
Speaker 2:So the story was for those of us that have to back up he did pass suddenly. We can't say we didn't see it coming, because four days prior he got diagnosed medically with leukemia. Okay, so it was something underlying that got him. He had driven or in some way been Transported and was in the middle of a fucking flea market purchasing things when he went down Suddenly because of his leukemia. And so we can't see, we didn't see it coming. Oh, there we go. Car accident, vehicle is actually connected to the medical thing. Oh, so cool. Then he shows me glasses. Oh, and the only other thing I have is I knew I drew a shirt here. We all just got necklaces with his ashes for Christmas that I'm wearing it right now. I Did not see that comment before I said what I said. And then we have something that still smells like him. I put my face in an old hat. You know how that that hat smell. I don't think that hat smell would ever go away. Or you've smelled him since he's ended up passing. You have something specifically that you can smell of his too. Or and and also he wrote that down now that I'm looking His dog lays on his jacket and cries every single day. That is fucking heartbreaking. So, wow, oh Right in the feelings. And what are the two honor of his memory that we create in honor of his memory? In fact, we have made necklaces in honor of his memory, full of his ashes that she's wearing right now. And I say I know I'm saying hat, but I'm specifically saying something about a shirt. Guess what? Since he's passed less than 60 days ago, people, he has a jacket that his dog lays on and cries nearly every day, which is fucking horribly sad. He came back as a bald eagle. Now, every time you see a bald eagle, you can think of him and pay attention. Like you don't have to see the bald eagle in the sky, you could see it on a piece of merchandise.
Speaker 1:So this is the second time second time she's Confirming that she does not know or remember that she's that she's already told me that. Yeah, she doesn't know that, zero clue no idea, and she just blew that out there. Yep, very nonchalant.
Speaker 3:Yep, yes, she just comes forward and says he came back as a bald eagle and you're like what? Yeah?
Speaker 2:Product at the grocery store, okay, and so that was terribly sad. Oh, and then he says he has a female, the bald eagles and it circles the farm. Oh my gosh, you saw it the 1120. And I'm like and what do you do with the vehicles? Like, how would I have known you kept taking those vehicles out on the freaking farm? Oh, and how do we know that? The eagles? Oh my gosh, this is a good reading. I really like this. There was so much and I was, and you see how much doubt I had when I first got in here. I'm like man, I really hope it's this person. Holy shit, you know, 1119 was the same day my mother figure passed 12 years ago. And what did I just say? That he's up there with this female energy on the other side. They may not be related, but he's up there with her, and let me just so.
Speaker 3:I don't know if we've touched on that, yeah, but um, so, if you've been listening right along, my Mom, who I call my mom, is actually my grandma. She raised me, and November 19th, 12 years ago, she actually passed away from cancer herself, and so it was just fitting that your dad had also passed on November 19th. It's just one of those Other signs of the universe just stating like we're supposed to be together, our lines are supposed to be Attached and in tune with one another. Yeah. And that's who he's, that's who he's with there together, yeah and if you, if you recall, from the beginning she said he's with a female figure and it could be his wife or it could be your grandmother. So she's talking to me and she doesn't know who I am at this point. So there's just really well-rounded yeah.
Speaker 2:No, I haven't redone this and it looks, so here's the rest of it. Here's him, and so even the writing is different.
Speaker 3:He looks just like his chickens cracked.
Speaker 2:And so this person passed 60 days ago and it's who she requested to talk to, and this is a female, which is also her mother figure. That was there, that was on the other side 12 years ago. So, even though she asked more of that male, that female still made a presence. You know, once you show her that everything here is right and accurate.
Speaker 1:How can you?
Speaker 2:deny that her female is over there on the other side. Even if he can't have a huge conversation with her, we can pop up there, talk to her at any time. Please tell me he's that piece and watching over us. I need to know for his wife here on earth. Okay, I want you to know that this man is fully transitioned to the other side. He's right with his soul. His person that you're requesting information for needs to know his pain was properly managed at the end, which means that she probably takes partial responsibility. Even she should have known and she thought she had more time, and it's really just a lack of closure that continuously fucks her up, to be honest with you. But he's always there with her and he's going to be very eager. Pay attention to the Eagles. The signs are going to be different for her. She's going to see him in dreams Know that that's real repeating numbers on the clock. Know that that's real. So he's definitely going to be showing himself as a primary guardian angel to that female, because she is going to be mentally Absolutely fucked until, like April, we needed to know we made the right decision to send him to hospice. Yes, yes. So that's why he came through and said like, okay, what she needs to know is that my pain and my health was managed properly at the end, and there was an element of feeling like you didn't do Enough or make the right decision. But everything was good, you can't take responsibility for it, okay, and you're sitting there, said we need to know we made the right decision to send him to hospice and everything was managed Perfectly at the end of his life. So I think, just in that specific message to his wifey poo, it very, very, very obvious that he is with us and and is able to say hey, you made the right choice. You know, lady Liberty, is this your first time ever being here? We're married for 44 years. I'm like wifey pants over there and that's a quick end. As a quick end, she feels guilty for him not getting to the hospital in time and everything, and all he wants to do is sit in his chair, do whatever she needs per usual and get bitched at, and then bitch at each other and so when she's like, he's like so they were here they would just be fucking thinking about bigger and about, yes, that's their relationship. You guys, I Went from a blank page to showing you guys I could talk to at least two different dead people. To be fair, three dead people came through, but, but nope, I joined last month and I was in your last class. Oh, and didn't you love the class? Did you learn some stuff? I don't think me. And you have ever done a medium ship reading? I can't keep track. All you look at her. She joined last month. You are so very welcome.
Speaker 1:Wow, pretty unbelievable.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the last comment there about them him sitting in his chair and your, your parents, bickering. That's their relationship.
Speaker 1:Thousand percent yeah to a tee.
Speaker 3:How would they? How would you know that? How would you know that? You know what I mean. Just so many things in this quick little 15-minute session with her were so Validating that you're like okay, and I mean the first couple of times when I had like, when she answered the question about the eagle, like a couple a couple of weeks ago, you almost get like a sigh of relief like okay, all right, I feel better, I can breathe now. Yeah you know what I mean. Like I know that's how I felt, but of course you still have have that wonder. So I never gave up hope to continuously put his name in there, because I was like, if he wants to talk to us, he's gonna come forward. He is, and that's exactly what he did. He showed his, his true vibration and Came forward and spoke with with Kato with me and Kato and it was really Really awesome when this happened, ironically, I was outside with my mom working on one of my dad's tasks.
Speaker 1:He'd like to put driveway markers up before the ski poles and stuff and me and my mom bought new markers and we were actually out there together working On something that my dad would do this whole time this kind of reading happened. And then, you know, I didn't tell her. We were able to save it to actually kind of like experience it together and, like you said, I think it Gives you a sense of comfort, a sense of closure. I mean, you're never going to Erase all the doubt you have in your head. You know, all the second guessings Never gonna completely go away. You're gonna have those moments. But there's something to hold on to, there's something to Cling to when you're having those moments of doubt, when you're, when you're having those feelings of fear, you know and Especially since he personally validates like yeah, I'm good, I'm okay information that came out couldn't be created. It couldn't be researched.
Speaker 3:No, because we didn't put it out there.
Speaker 1:No, I mean you should have to be listening to our podcast. And even then she wouldn't know my parents relationship, she wouldn't know the intricate details, all these things, so it would be impossible to research those things. For me, the most Comfort anything of all of it was, I feel, like the, the lead up to it. There's like little pebbles along the road that lets you know like that's true, that's true. Okay, she knows what she's talking about, and all those little fun facts lead to one very important thing at the end, and that's that he's fully transitioned, yes, and that he's okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah you know, and that everything was handled To the best of our ability.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And because that was a huge question. It is and it always will be.
Speaker 1:But above and beyond the second guessing of myself, knowing that he's transitioned, that he's okay. There's so many good things about that right knowing that he is okay, yep, and then that creates the promise and opportunity for us to see him again, absolutely. That also creates, hopefully, a sense of calm for everybody listening that you, too, will be okay, and for those of you listening that has lost someone and someone to move on, that they are Okay, right, right, there's, there's so much to be shared here. You know, this story is very particular and it's completely about us and our family and our scenario, but the message and the lessons for all of us, absolutely. And there's, just like you said earlier, when you went to Teresa Caputo or when you listen to Kato, there's things that come forward, that are also that might be speaking directly to somebody else, but they're meant for you, yeah, and their reminders for you. This message today, this episode, should be a message for so many people that that your loved ones are okay, that maybe there's an opportunity for you to connect in the same way, but also that there's a chance and an opportunity and a possibility for you to see them again someday. So, just you know, live the right way have faith, that's it.
Speaker 3:Keep your eyes open to the signs. And it could be something as silly as seeing Random quarters, because that happened to me the other day. I was just like what is this? And someone at work was like oh, inflation, like it was funny. It was funny, but like they do say that if you see pennies and it's dropped from heaven from from a loved one, but quarters just mean that in a little bit more. If you're interested, look it up VC random quarters and it's something like that. Like it's not. Like. I saw one random quarter. I saw four, four random quarters in random places. Just one was in the back of your truck, the, which was full of wood.
Speaker 1:The whole thing it for people to understand is that you know you need to have a willingness a willingness to be open-minded, and you need to also Allow yourself to be inspired. Right mean to allow yourself to be inspired, need to allow yourself to be Curious about these things.
Speaker 3:I will encourage everyone like, if you are interested in looking into or digging a little bit deeper in the signs that you're possibly seeing, get a journal and write them down. Write them down With a day, like just put the date and just put like what you saw and then go back to those and you see them Repeating themselves exactly and like it can be like the angel numbers that we talked, talked about. So like one one, one, seven, seven, seven, like it could be little, little things, like seeing the quarters, like I was like, alright, I've seen four of them now like I'm gonna look. Google is my best friend when it comes to looking up those signs and symptoms. However, I will say no symptoms. Like I will say I always write them down. I always write them down because I want to be able to one day be able to look back and reflect like alright, I saw the bald eagle six times in a month. Like, okay, I saw four random quarters. But I'm always Like eager to see what the definition is, what the reasoning is. And I will say this don't like if you're gonna Google it, don't read the first one and be stuck on that, read multiple, and you can honestly just go to Google, type it in like saw four random quarters. Like spiritual meaning for finding a quarter, or something like that. Always put spiritual meaning because someone's gonna put something like oh, you dropped a quarter out of your pocket, something stupid. But if you always put spiritual message for whatever, whatever. And then I always go to the images, like I'll check the images section because 90% of them you're gonna find mediums or Reiki instructors or anything of that nature, that kind of follows that they're gonna dig into it a little bit differently than just a Word document that you would find mostly on Google. So definitely things that you can look into on that avenue.
Speaker 1:One of the other messages that was in there was for my mom on. She might not necessarily have the eagle, but he's gonna come to her and repeated numbers and dreams. My mom sees my dad in dreams. All the time We've had the conversation with her about angel numbers and we shared this.
Speaker 3:She asks me all the time.
Speaker 1:We shared this before about like that first coffee that we got and we had all nines and for like a week straight my mom woke up every day at 333. So, like these things, it just confirms that they're happening for a reason, So-.
Speaker 3:And your mom didn't know what angel number was before your dad had passed on.
Speaker 1:But I just wanna point these things out there to confirm the message and that it was accurate, that it was real and that if you're seeing these things, there could be a reason. If it's for the third time this week you woke up at 444, maybe there's something there you have to read into it. And then you were in traffic and saw a license plate that was 444. And your coffee rang in at 444. Maybe there's something there, maybe somebody's trying to tell you something, but we need to allow ourselves to be inspired by these things. We need to allow ourselves to explore these things, be open-minded. Yeah, it's, you know it's. There's a lot here today, and I really, truly hope that this makes a difference, because I've heard from so many of you that have lost somebody important, some people having a hard time moving on, some people that's still fresh. I'm thinking of one of you right now that lost lost your dad, and we have conversations all the time and then you recently lost your mother too. And they're there for you, you know, and I know that you question yourself about not having traditions in the signs, but they're there for you, buddy. You just have to allow yourself to see them and that this message is for everybody. So Absolutely. So completely fitting on what would be my dad's birthday.
Speaker 3:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:To have this, this message, this episode, and I really truly hope that it gives people some closure and some hope. You know I really do, and you know. One other thing we can share about today was that we went to my dad's favorite restaurant for dinner Ballonclaw Yep, you and my mother and I, and we walked in there and the place was virtually empty.
Speaker 3:Dead empty.
Speaker 1:When we got in there and they sat us at the exact same table.
Speaker 3:Yep, right in front of the fireplace that we had sat at what six years ago?
Speaker 1:Yeah, like out of all the empty tables in the entire place, literally a random table with a fireplace and they sat us at the exact same table that we sat at, you know, so many years ago with my dad, when the place was packed on his birthday. So it just all, it just all connects, it all comes together. It's all for a reason.
Speaker 2:It's all because of a plan, yep, and it ain't our plan.
Speaker 1:You just no, we learned a lot of things today that we'll share some other day that it's not our plan.
Speaker 3:It's not our plan, but we're gonna ride it out.
