Speaker 1 (00:17):
Hello and welcome to Psychic Teachers. Deb couldn't be with
me today, so I have another very special guest with us,
might fiance Michael. You want to say.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hello, hello everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I know you're happy I dragged you into this, but
it's a very very special add on show because, as
you guys remember, I asked all listeners to please, in
honor of my birthday month to do a random act
of kindness for other people to exemplify what Deb and
I are always talking about being the light. And I
(00:49):
thought it would be a nice way in this era
and energy we have going on, of so much negativity
and fear mongering going on, and I just think it's
nice if we could take a moment to focus on
how we really can hold and anchor the light where
we are in our world. So I was completely overwhelmed
and honored by the amazing response I got to my
(01:12):
request to do a random active kindness. I received so
many stories and emails and Instagram messages that I actually
had to break this up into two shows, so I
shared half of them on my other podcast, Enlightened m Paths,
and then the other half I'm going to be sharing
here along with Michael's help, so you don't get bored
(01:33):
of just my voice in your ears. I think you'll
enjoy these stories too, because you haven't read every Yeah,
all right, So our first one is from Penny and
this came through my Instagram, and she sent some great
photos too that I'll put on Facebook and Instagram to
share with you guys. She says, for your random active
kindness birthday request, I made a Tailor Swift inspired bracelet
(01:57):
in note to leave on my neighbor's windshield. I don't
know him, but he drives around the neighborhood in a
cute little car with Taylor Swift references all over it.
It always makes me smile when I see it parked
on the street on my night walks. The next night,
I went on my walk and the Taylor Swift car
is parked in the same spot, but this time he
(02:17):
left me a note and my own bracelet that he made,
which says, Hi, first off, thank you. Secondly, I want
to be friends. That's so gad Yeah, I just love
the head she reaches out. And then you know, she
made a friend who knows beat me something else and
he included his contact information. So Penny, we want an update.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yes are you guys bff Stone, Yes are you.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Having bracelet making party? Remember when we were on the
cruise and I made you do the Friendship Bracelet making workshop?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah? I took it very seriously.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Okay share our next one.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay see here. A few months ago, I was listening
to your podcast and it hit me that I still
hadn't bought your books, something I've wanted to do but
also i've put off. All of a sudden, I was
extremely motivated to order from your website. I instantly got
online and bought both of your books and two bracelets,
and excitedly awaited their arrival. When the package arrived so
(03:16):
nicely put together with a great little gifts inside. You
do take a lot of pride in your packaging. I
couldn't wait to start reading. I began The Awake Dreamer
sitting in bed one night and reading your book. I
started the chapter Pennies from Heaven. I finished this chapter
and was moving on to the next when my husband
came in and started talking to me. Before I go on,
(03:39):
I need you to understand that my husband and I
exemplify the statement opposites attract. We've been together for twenty
eight years and couldn't be more different and yet so
supportive of one another. As a self proclaimed atheist, my
husband is such a trooper when it comes to listening
to my stories about religion and all the things metaphysical. Anyway,
(03:59):
while talking, he randomly said, are there some pennies that
are worth more than their face value? Just having read
your chapter on coins, I found this odd. I said,
why do you ask? He answered, I found a penny.
I excitedly snapped at him, where is it and what's
the date on it? I had a favorite aunt that
died unexpectedly a few years ago, and I just had
(04:21):
a feeling that was from her. My husband then answered
with nineteen sixty two, which is in fact my aunt's
birth year. I was so excited, I said, give.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It to me.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It was meant for me. I then told him all
about reading the chapter in your book and the perfect
timing of him bringing the penny in. Although he usually
dismisses my stories, he answered, it's crazy. I don't even
know why I picked up that penny. I'm not the
type to even pick up pennies. Now to your birthday request,
After reading that chapter in your book, I was inspired
(04:53):
by your story about buying angel coins and leaving them
for someone to find. I'm an educator but started a
small crystal business two years ago, a love that you
have helped foster in me. Like your angel coins, I
decided to leave random crystals out for others to find.
I've left them in nature, while hiking in the high school,
I teach at around town, et cetera, just hoping a
(05:15):
person finds them who may need them at that moment.
Who knows what journey the discovery will take them on.
Maybe they'll just appreciate its beauty, or maybe it will
lead to an important revelation in their own life. The
whole thing is very exciting to me, so thank you
for the idea and for inspiring so many happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I love that story, and I love that her husband
like isn't open to this at all. And if it
goes to along with her and he finds the penny,
I want to know if that goes along with her
on sense of humor, Yes, you know what I mean
that he finds it in the on birth day, and
that's not a coincidence. She's reading my whole chapter on
how often you know the different ways that our loved
(05:57):
ones will reach out to us feathers and songs and
birds and very often coins. And I always say to
look at the date whenever you find a coin, because
that's often the way they communicate with us. But you
know how much I like leaving my little angel coins around.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I do.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
What a great idea to leave crystals around?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, no, that is great. And the other thing was
that he mentioned that he never even picked up pennies. Well,
that's something that I do also like. I'll see a penny,
and what it was the saying, penny, find a penny,
pick it up all the day, you'll have good luck.
I generally look at my life and go, I have
enough luck. I don't need it. Let someone else find it.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Okay, See you know the second part of that.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I'm sure you're gonna let me know.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Pick a penny up all day long, you'll have good luck.
If you want your luck to stay, you must give
this penny away.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So you just added so much more time in my life.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Now can start picking the cloth.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I'm gonna start side eyeing the pennies as I walk
by them.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
And not pick them up.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, and pretend I don't see them.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well, thank you, so much for sending that in and
supporting my website and buying my books, and good wishes
and blessings to your beautiful happy marriage. I love that dynamic. Okay.
Our next one says, I'm an old woodworker and martial
arts teacher. Writing is not my particular skill. But I've
been wanting to tell you about this for a while now,
(07:16):
and this is the perfect opportunity. So back in the day,
you used to hand it those rainbow bags and put
the chakra stone sets in them and sell them on
your website. Okay, Michael, you don't know me back then,
but I used to hand knit chakra bags and heart
chakra bags and sell them on my website. Okay, and
I loved doing this. You've seen them around. I kind
(07:38):
of like them. Okay. So then I got tennis elbow
and I had to go literally to the doctor and
she was like, what are you doing? Are you playing
a lot of tennis? Now? It was actually pro knitting,
which I don't think I've ever admitted that.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, Oh, you didn't say like, well, were you were
really dying? I was knitting chakra bags, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I just said it was from knitting and crouche and
to Mitis, and I was like thirty five at the time, like,
how embarrassing is that coach? Anyway, so I no longer
saw them on my website. What I loved making those,
so thank you for buying them, all right, she goes on,
I am the proud recipient of one of those, and
the stones are on my altar in my home dojo.
(08:21):
I keep it filled with polished stones and pick one
from the bag almost every day and leave it in
town somewhere, store shelves, ledges and bathrooms, cash registers, gas
pumps wherever I can find. Sometimes I give them out
in person. I am the town crystal fairy. The lady
who owns the Crystal Metaphysical store in town knows what
(08:42):
I do with them, so she only charges me cost
to fill my little bag. Oh I love that. I
also let my new student that the dojo close their
eyes and pick a stone from the bag when they start.
I got this idea from the story you used to
tell about when you and your girls would get rocks
and write happy messages on them and then hide them
around town and then wonder who would find them. I've
(09:05):
been doing this for many years now. Thank you for
sharing your lights to me at that and inspiring me
to take up this practice with ripples of impacts. I
cannot thank you enough. Wow, Well, I cannot thank you enough.
I wish I were known as the crystal Fairy in town.
I bet you wish I was known.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yes, I bet you here she comes, here, she comes
the crystal Fairy.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
What delights this she bring in us? But that is
so great? And I have a story to tell. Yes,
my girls and I used to paint rocks and leave
them around town. But also when I had my in
person office and I would do meetings, I had a
big bag of crystals and I would have the person
you know, shake the bag and close their eyes and
pick a stone. And you just never really think about it.
And I bumped into someone who I had not seen
(09:49):
since two thousand and nine, and he reaches into his
pocket like we bumped into each other, and he goes,
look what I have, And he pulls out a soda
light and a Botswana agate and he said, these are
from the two readings you gave me. And I read that.
He said, every night you can ask my wife. I
take them out of my pocket. I put them on
the dresser every morning, so you just never know, Like
(10:10):
she said, the ripple effect of sharing this stuff, which
I think is just it's just beautiful.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, no, wonderful.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Do you want to read our next one? Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Happy birthday, Samantha. Here's my random act of kindness story.
Last weekend, our race car team was competing in a
large race meet that went over ten days. We got
to chatting with a fellow competitor who was having trouble
with fog on his visor. After a brief chat about it,
I thought nothing more of it and went back to
my pit. A couple of days later, we were sitting
(10:41):
in the staging lanes waiting to start racing, and he
was a few cars over from me when one of
his crew members walked past without hesitation. I stopped the
crew member and gave him a wad of visor glass
wipes that I used to clean my glasses. He went
back and gave them to his driver. That team went
on to make it to the semi finals of their
bracket without incident. But this isn't the reason I'm writing
(11:02):
you this email. It's what happened the next day that
keeps my belief in angels and guides growing on our
last qualifying pass for the event, our driver was involved
in a collision with another vehicle. I know that the
safety equipment kept both of them from harm, but I
believe it was an angel that helped our driver keep
control of the car, resulting in less damage than what
(11:23):
could have been. Everyone involved was unhurt, thankfully, just shaken,
and both teams ours and theirs were able to continue
racing for the remainder of the event. I tied these
two moments together because of how I felt after the dust.
After the dust settled on the accident, the next ont
of my head was handing the first driver the lot
(11:44):
of glass pipes, and just somehow that act of kindness
was rewarded with the act of an angel keeping those
other two drivers safe. That's pretty cool, isn't that.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
And you know what I like about this is I
completely agree with her that the fact that this one kind,
random act of kind is that she did for this
driver that she was competing with actually echoed back to
her team the next day. But what stands out to
me is when she says, I tie these two moments
together because of how I felt, And that's the key.
(12:17):
You've got to trust that intuition, you know, like when
you have a feeling like ooh, someone intervened to help.
I think you have to trust that.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, yeah, no, I agree. I've been trying to do
that more and more.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
How's it working.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Seems to be working pretty well.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
But don't you feel that when you do kind things
it does echo back to you?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah? Yeah, Well that's why I always try to just
stay positive and yeah and do the right thing for
them for the most part, just to make sure that
I don't get any bed juju.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, you just don't share pennies now I have to.
Now you have to.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Maybe leobe collecting pennies that we all own beds.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
No, you wouldn't be No, I'll have a pocket of them.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I'm going to bring them out, yes, and the droving up,
dropping them on cars and mailboxes.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Okay, our next one, says Hi Saviaa that happy birthday.
I feel so privileged to be a part of this
wonderful community celebrating your life. Here is my story of
a random act of kindness. This morning, I gave a
stranger an angel stone that I'd carried for a couple
of months but haven't connected with yet. The bag story
I live in Brooklyn and was waiting for the train
(13:18):
when I saw two women crying, one younger and one older,
looking at a phone in disbelief and distress. Given the
state of things, there's a myriad of circumstances that may
have befallen these strangers, but whatever it was, it was
very personal. I thought, what can I do? And then
it popped into my head. The stone was for the
(13:39):
older woman. I walked over and put my hand on
her shoulder and looked in her eyes and said, God
bless you, and then handed her the stone. Naturally, she
looked surprised. I felt good and grounded after, which I
think is a good indication that it was the right move.
I suspect the message about the stone came from my
guide or spirit family, and feel blessed to be part
(14:00):
of this woman's journey. I pray that the stone gave
the woman a moment of hope and the knowledge that
there are strangers who love them. I do love them
and will continue to wonder about their safety and the
safety of their families. And that's from Melissa. Oh, that
is beautiful. That is so awful to just come across
two women crying and you only have one stone. So
(14:22):
when we do carry these things with us, whether it's
a penny or an angel stone or a crystal, it
is so nice because I think this is what deb
and I and Denise and I have talked about for
years on the podcast, is that sometimes were called upon
to be Earth angels. So maybe that crying woman, maybe
(14:42):
her guide or angel nudged you to notice her crying
while just sitting waiting for the train in Brooklyn and
knew that she needed that stone, just to sometimes you
need a touchstone to hold on to when you're having
one of those sad moments and a reminder that there
aren't good people out there, which you clearly are, Melissa,
So thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I think you're right. Even just a little idy bitty
thing when you're in a funk and you know, someone
just opens the door and it was pleasant. You're at
a store and pleasant behind the counter, you know, and yeah,
just those little things will take you out of that
little funk that you're in. And that's all it really
takes is just to be kind to each other.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yes, and it kind of helps, and it sounds simple,
but it's really really not. I mean, one thing that's
popping into my head randomly. When I was about to
go on stage in Charlotte before the Coast to Coast fight,
was so nervous. I'm stating back there and I could
see you in the audience because you were on the
side at that one time, and I was like, oh,
this is so scary, and I didn't want to walk
(15:44):
out shaking, and so you know how they had to
escort take me out there. She was so so kind
of lovely, and I just said, I'm so nervous, and
she squeezed my hand and that was it.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I felt so much better and the nerves went away. Okay,
and we digress share the next Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I'm an avid listener of psychic teachers and absolutely love
you both. I would first like to thank you for
sharing all your knowledge and goodness with us. Secondly, I
wanted to let you know about my random act of
kindness for your birthday month. I'm a nurse and was
headed to work when I decided I needed a coffee break.
I pulled into the McDonald's on the way to work
(16:24):
and behind me was a state trooper. I decided to
purchase his order for him. I hope it made his
day and yours. It's your made mine a lot brighter.
I always try and live by abundance, attracts abundance and
love the message of random acts of kindness. Yeah, that's
very nice.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
That is really nice. I mean it's important, I think,
to support those who are working so hard to keep
us safe. But who knows it might have saved other drivers.
Maybe that state trooper was so excited by his free
confidence he didn't pull anyone over that morning.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
See he was in a funk and he doesn't freak
up a coffee and that decided going to take the
rest of the day off.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
It's right and just give everybody a free pass.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Would you have done that when you're an officer.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I always get I figure you go as lusia as
long as you had a great excuse.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
You just let them go.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh yeah wow?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
What if they cried?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
No one ever cried. Really, it was Brooklyn people didn't.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
All right. Our next one says, thought you'd like to
know that. In honor of your birthday, wish, I've donated
twenty five handmade soaps to a local shelter for unhoused people.
I have a side business making handmade soap. Lotion, shampoo bars,
et cetera, all made with moon water. That's really cool.
And I gave the shelter a box of full sized soaps.
(17:45):
I just heard from the director that they will be
handing out the soaps at their monthly birthday celebration where
the folks at the shelter get to celebrate their birthdays.
So your birthday wish means that twenty five people living
at the shelter will be getting birthday gifts too. Love
to all you Gemini and cancer babies, you and the
people at the shelter. Wow, thank you so so much
(18:08):
for sharing your talents and your gifts in this beautiful,
beautiful way. My church is affiliated with a local shelter
that helps to support temporarily unhoused people. But they also
have showers and washers and dryers things like that. And
I said to the woman who was running it, what
(18:28):
do you guys need most? And she said, believe it
or not, we need hotel shampoos and conditioners and soaps
because a lot of these people are coming in very temporarily. Obviously,
they don't want to share a bar of soap. We
want to give them the honor and dignity and I
was thinking about all the people at my kids' schools
were at least one parent traveled half the month. So
(18:51):
I went to the principal and put out a call.
And all we did was we put a box in
the school office and people would just save up their
hotel stuff and dump them in there, and when some
of the I would bring them down to the Dyalston Center.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah that makes sense. I never thought about that.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, so you had everybody stealing stuff from hotels.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Too, thanks and dealing it's pretty And you know what
else this center did which I never thought about. They're
the only one in our town where if you go
to do your laundry. So let's say you come to
them and you're just really down and out and your
clothes are dirty, you put your clothes in, you get
your clothes.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Back and oh okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, And the director explained to me, no, like they
just put it into a community pile and you have
to go through the dryer and hopefully find something that
fits you.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, most of the shelters are like that. It's just
easier for the shelter to just churn through.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Oh that just made me sad. Yeah, well, thank you
so much for sharing that. I absolutely love it. Let's
take a very quick break and we'll come right back
to share more of these beautiful, heartwarming stories.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Hi folks, if you've been waiting for my Beginner to
Row course, Unlocking the Mysteries of Terrow, now is the
time to register. This three session course runs Tuesdays July fifteenth,
twenty second, and twenty ninth on Zoom and details are
on my website, Deb Bowen dot com. If you long

to truly began your journey into the depth and symbolism
of Tero, this introductory course is for you. I've been
teaching and reading to Row over forty years, and I
have taught hundreds of people to read. My Unlocking the
Mysteries of Too course teaches you how to begin your
lifetime relationship with Tero. There's so much more information on
(20:47):
my website, Deb Bowen dot com.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I look forward to working with you. Welcome back. How
are you enjoying being on the show.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I'm enjoying it greatly. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Do you like these stories? I do do it here
through lovely Why don't you share the next one?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
OK, this is a very very small act of kindness
that I love doing. When you shop at all these,
you have to use a quarter to unlock the carts,
and sometimes they stick together and can be a general pain.
And of course you have to have a quarter. Not
always a given, especially if.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
You're with Michael. Yeah, he won't have a penny. A
quarter No, not at all.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
No, yeah, apparently, yeah, not always a given in our
increasingly cashless society. So a while back I went to
all these with my quarter in hand and was on
my way to unlock a cart when a very nice
shopper asked if I needed a cart. When I tried
to give that very nice shopper my quarter, she waved
it off and said, someone gave this to me. Just
(21:45):
pass it on. So I did, and have done so
far ever since. On the rare occasion that I don't
see a shopper I need of a cart, I will
leave the cart near the locked carts with the quarter
still in it for someone to find.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I think that is a great idea.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, I no, I think it's a great idea, just
simply because it's shameful that you have to have that
in place, because people just take the cards and bring
them anywhere. So it's nice to have that when you
want to get your quarterback, you know, that's the way
to keep the herd together. But yeah, no, I get.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
That that's an easy but really really a great way
that you could just be the light for someone else.
It's one of my pet Peeves's people who leave cards out.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Oh what you same with me?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, especially when they leave them in a parking spot.
It's like, come on, okay. Our next one is from
our lovely listener and fellow writer and artist, Susan and
I think she's the first one who reached out to
me with what she did. And I'll again, I will
do my best remember to share these photos on social media.
(22:49):
But she took some of her beautiful art and some
crystals and some angel cards and she just hid them
all over town and sent me pictures of where she
hid them. And she writes, since you were mentioning this year,
your birthday wish is for Earth angels to do kind
anonymous deeds. I was inspired to give free crystals, angel cards,
(23:10):
a spirit animal, and a gardens card, and I hid
them all around town. That's great.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Okay, do you want to share it? Next one?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yes? Thank you for teaching us to be the light.
I've ordered from your website many many times over the
years and always appreciate the fortune cookie and free crystal
you include with your orders. I've saved the crystals and
keep them in a bowl by my front door. It
sits next to an angel statue and candle. When I
heard your request for acts of kindness, I've thought of
(23:39):
that bowl of crystals and have spent the last week
handing them out to whomever I feel needs them, like
my neighbor who just lost her cat, and my babysitter
who's going through a breakup. It felt really good, so
I plan to keep this up.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
We have another crystal fairies. They're growing, they are growing.
We're gonna have to start doing that.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I get it. It's just a little thing that someone
just they know that you appreciate and you understand what
they're going through, and that's it. It's as simple as that.
And that just helps somebody feel like people are aware
of me and what I'm going through, and it just
generally makes people feel better.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, and that's what we need in this life, is
just with all the stuff going on in the world,
we need more little things that help make everyone feel better.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yees now, like putting your cards away?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Like putting your cards away, that's right. Okay. So I
just want to say to everyone, thank you so much
for taking time out of your busy lives to not
only do a random active kindness, but then to sit
down and write to me about it. I really can't
tell you enough how grateful I am to all of
you for doing this, and I hope that these stories
(24:45):
inspire everyone to keep doing this and to do more
random acts of kindness. Okay, so before we wrap up,
you know, the last time I had you on the show,
we talked about how we met and and how I
felt like I manifested you, and a listener sent did
was beautiful story about manifesting love in her own life,
(25:08):
and I thought we could share it and I thought
it'd be nice. And sheer here okay on the ship.
So are you ready?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
All right, she writes. Ever since I was very young,
I've always prayed. I grew up Catholic, although my family
was never that strict when it came to religion. I
remember I had a large painting of an angel above
my bed with her arms hugging a lamb. A small
angel statue named Elizabeth, and one of those clear rocks
that had a little white angel inside, whose face I
swore looked just like my mom's. Once I lost my
(25:38):
swimsuit before a big swim meet, so I prayed to
all my angels for guidance, and moments later I found
my suit. I remember that so strongly because of how
amazed I was that it worked. Something so small, but
for hours I had been looking everywhere for it, and
immediately after I prayed, it was if it was right
in front of my eyes. Fast forward, during college, I
(25:59):
became very depress and felt so detached from my younger self.
In fact, I wanted nothing to do with her. She
was so curly and optimistic, and now life was hard
and lonely and helpless. She felt embarrassing to me. During COVID,
I finished college and moved back home and began learning
about crystals. I had found out that my dad had cancer,
and I didn't know who I could pray to because
(26:20):
I no longer felt a strong connection to the organized religions.
So I got a rose courts and amethyst and clear courts,
and I prayed to my crystals, asking for their healing
energy to help my family and me through that time.
Now my dad has been cancer free for five years.
I don't directly correlate his help to the crystals, but
I am so grateful I had them to turn to
(26:41):
when I didn't know where else to go. Also during
this time, I began doing yoga. I went to sound
healing workshops and felt what it was like to mindfully
align my chakras, and it felt amazing. I felt enlightened.
I'd never been so happy to just be myself. I
begun manifesting around this time, and journaling my end tensions
every new moon and reflecting on them when the full
(27:03):
moon minutes return. I had made a long, detailed letter
of exactly what I wanted in a partner. I described
him as having longish brown hair, olive complexion, glasses, preferably
not into video games, but if he is, I can manage.
I described him as kind and gentle and an old soul.
(27:23):
At this point, I hadn't had much experience with boys.
I tried dating a few people, and I always felt
wrong until I met this boy, who I thought was
so funny and cool, and I fell hard. Here I
was thinking, I was so enlightened with my yoga and
my crystals, and I thought this was my time for love.
But boy did I fall hard, and it sure hurt.
(27:44):
My juvenile approach to love was taking advantage of and
I was left feeling like a shell of myself. About
a year or two later, I decided to give the
dating absent chance, and after scrolling for a few weeks
and having the casual what do you do for work
type conversations, I came across a boy who stuck out
to me. He had long, brownish hair, olive skin, and glasses.
(28:07):
He felt so familiar in his pictures, and so I
swiped up. We instantly matched, and I asked him out
for a drink after just a few messages. This was
so at a character for me, being that I was
a very shy and very inexperienced with dating and I'd
never actually gone on a date with someone from an
app before. He asked me by Oprah for coffee, and
(28:29):
so a few days later we met at a coffee
shop called Old Soul, where we talked for hours and
proceeded to walk around the park nearby, making our dates
seven hours long.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
He grew up as a Waldorf kid with a strong
connection to the earth and to spirituality as his mother
is a Kundalini yoga instructor, and he did, in fact
like video games, but hey, it's all about compromise. I
still faced anxieties, especially when we first began dating, but
his constant reassurance and patience made me feel safe to
(29:01):
heal not only my current self but my inner child,
and now I feel more connected to her than ever.
Now we are about to be engaged. We are moving
with our Belgian shepherd dog to our dream city as
he begins graduate school. I can't help but reread that
letter I wrote years prior as they look up at
the man in front of me and think, Wow, did
(29:22):
I really manifest this man? I sure think so. I
have so much gratitude for the universe and the paths
I have had to take to get me to this point,
because without those hard times, I wouldn't be able to
see the magic that is now my life. Thank you
to you both for your time and for this podcast,
as it has only helped continue my journey of self discovery. Wow, well,
(29:44):
thank you so much for sharing that beautiful story, because
that is the up and down of healing. Isn't it
like you feel like you've got it all figured out.
You meet this guy and he's super cute and great,
and then boom, he breaks your heart. That's a test
from the universe. That's when the universe asks you, you know,
is this really what you want? Are you really really
ready to heal? And so we have to have a
(30:05):
lot of self love and inner courage to push through.
And you did. You had the courage within to not
only write that letter of what you were trying to
manifest in a partner, but then once you got over
that first heartache to go onto the dating apps, which
is a really scary thing. But look what she got
out of it. See here's another one who manifested loves right.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, no, that's great. I like what she wrote about
the negative parts of her life being important. We've talked
about this numerous times. I'm a big proponent of that's
actually more important than the positive. Is all the bad
and the negative and because it just it helps you
appreciate everything. Yeah, and I know that I've taken a
lot in my life that and used a lot of
(30:49):
those negatives to kind of shape who I am. Yeah,
and who I am now. So that's another good phrase.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, very important, very very important. Well, that's why I
collect smooth stone to the beach, because they think all
the rough tumble being knocked down by the waves of life,
it smooths out or rough edges, you know. And so
I think that that's a really important reminder. Do you
think you manifested me at all?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
For years? I'd say, for years?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
How did you manage? Well? Did you? Did you write
a little list to your universe?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
My do?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Love? I didn't do that, Unfortunately, I just had in
my head and I knew it. I knew what I wanted,
and I knew the things that I knew, the person
that I was, and what I wanted out of my
life with who I was with. I didn't give up
and I didn't settle to uh you know. And we've
(31:43):
had that's this conversation, one of my little puzzle analogy
that I gave you about relationships and what have you.
But yeah, I think it's the puzzle analogy I don't
remember about how our relationships are like little puzzles where
we have you don't remember.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
No, you did not say I was your missing piece though, No.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
No, no, no that super comporty no no, no, super pointy no.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
No.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
It was about it was about we have a puzzle,
ten thousand piece. It's a really big puzzle, really really difficult,
you know, intrigate pull, and we create The first thing
we generally do is create the border, so the foundation
of the puzzle, which I see as the foundation of
a relationship. You start, all right, they got all the edges,
everything's good. This person is on paper as good as
(32:23):
this dis in it, and then you work in. You
start to work in the inside of it, and there's
the easy parts and you start building those the dating
the months long, and then you get to like the
really hard part, which is like six thousand pieces of
a blue sky. Yeah, and it's all the same, and
it's just about really really taking the time to take
those difficult little shapes and match them up. And some
people will work on it for weeks, work on it
(32:45):
for months, and they'll get to a certain point where
most some people will just say, all right, I have
about you know, we'll call it like two to three
percent left, and I'm good.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Good enough.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
They just walk away good enough, putting the work in
and and people will be good with that, and maybe
three weeks down the world they'll say, okay, you know
what I'm never going to finish this thing, but it's
good enough. Let's put it in the box or put
it under the bed, on a tray or whatever have you.
And I didn't want to do that. I didn't want
to settle. I wanted what I wanted. I wanted to
(33:16):
finish that blue sky. So because I think that it
doesn't have to be hard, and all those little pieces
and those difficult shapes that fit together can be perfect
once they're together, because they create that entire puzzle. Yeah,
I hate to use that the piece of the puzzle. Yeah,
I get that.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
But I think that that's I think that's such a
great analogy because that's what happens with relationships often, whether
you're manifesting them or you're already in one, is people
just kind of give up. They're like, yeah, this is
too hard or it's not what I want.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
It's not even like giving up good enough. Yeah, I
don't think it's like giving up like. I think it's
how much you're willing of that empty space that you
didn't finish, you're willing to not give up on. But say,
I think a lot of people I got one percent left.
I think that's good. I think we have a good relationship,
but it's not. There's always just something something missing, something missing,
(34:06):
or you know, maybe just something that is not. Everybody
looks at us says, wow, that's a beautiful relationship, but
you know, there might just be one little thing there
that's just not And I know that's not petty, but
you know, I don't think you know, But then there
was not sound petty.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Because what's more important in life than our relationships. You
don't have a good relationships ship, it colors everything else
in your world.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
That's true, absolutely affects everything. Yeah, so I think.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
That is really really important. We did our New Moon
list the other night where we wrote down our goals,
and I was excited about this New Moon because it
came after the Day of Miracles, and so we were
writing down our goals and I flipped.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
We had a really good day of miracles. Yeah, the
nail and attire, and.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
It was not a miracle. I'll just say that. Still
excited for the new movie. And so we wrote it
down and I have this book where I write them
in and I flip back to the other New Moon
goals and I think even you were a little surprised
at how they all had come. Yeah, so write it down,
make it happen. I think is so so important. And
(35:11):
if you are out there and you want to manifest
lung it is an up and down journey, it is
a hearing path. But I do believe, like you and
me have talked about, and like this beautiful listener has mentioned,
you know, if you are really focused on it and
you're willing to do the work that you will, that
you will manifest it.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh yeah, I agree, And I think you have to
do the work on yourself as well. First.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, I would think that's the most important. You've got
to be able to look at yourself, the good, the bad,
the ugly. Do the shadow work, you know, like you
were saying how our listener said the tough times helped,
you know, bring out the good times. That's how I
look at shadow work. I mean, you can't have a
beautiful piece of art without some shadow to give it depth.
(35:55):
And it's the same with us. You can't be a
beautiful soul without face seeing the dark parts of your shadow.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah. And there's I think I share that video of
the Beauty to the Dark and the Negative, the one
with Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert. Oh yeah, I saw
that and I was just like, that's it. Yeah, and
you know it's Hopefully you can do a quick google
search of Stephen Colbert interviewing.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Anderson his podcast on grief.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, Grief, that's what went on, and it was about yeah,
it's pretty it's pretty profound what Stephen Colbert says when.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
He knows dark times, he knows how hard those are.
So anyway, I know this story doesn't have a lot
to do with random acts of kindness, but since you
were on the show with me, Michael, I thought this
just came in today and I thought, what agreed, yeah,
story to share with everyone, because I think if you
do random act of kindness, you shouldn't do them authentically
(36:51):
from your heart. But as our race Card listener reminded us,
when you do those random acts of kindness authentically from
your heart, they come back to you. And so if
you are doing the work on yourself and you are
reaching out and connecting with others, then all the love,
whether it's romantic or familial, or friendship love or just
(37:12):
universal love, is going to come back to you.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And I think even the littlest thing that you do
for people, it can make a huge difference to some people. Yeah,
they really could.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah. Okay, so we should get people an update too
that we did. We have found our new home and
we've moved in and everyone's blending and getting along. So
that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Great.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yeah, and we're getting ready to go on a vacation
and we ticked our wedding date. We're getting married in
the Fault and it's going to be absolutely beautiful. I'm
working on addressing all the envelopes for the invites.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yes, yes, we hopefully get those out before we go away.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Yeah. So did you enjoy coming back on the show again?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (37:54):

coming on, and again, thank you everybody taking time to

Hello and welcome to Psychic Teachers. Deb couldn't be with
me today, so I have another very special guest with us,
might fiance Michael. You want to say.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hello, hello everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I know you're happy I dragged you into this, but
it's a very very special add on show because, as
you guys remember, I asked all listeners to please, in
honor of my birthday month to do a random act
of kindness for other people to exemplify what Deb and
I are always talking about being the light. And I
(00:49):
thought it would be a nice way in this era
and energy we have going on, of so much negativity
and fear mongering going on, and I just think it's
nice if we could take a moment to focus on
how we really can hold and anchor the light where
we are in our world. So I was completely overwhelmed
and honored by the amazing response I got to my
(01:12):
request to do a random active kindness. I received so
many stories and emails and Instagram messages that I actually
had to break this up into two shows, so I
shared half of them on my other podcast, Enlightened m Paths,
and then the other half I'm going to be sharing
here along with Michael's help, so you don't get bored
(01:33):
of just my voice in your ears. I think you'll
enjoy these stories too, because you haven't read every Yeah,
all right, So our first one is from Penny and
this came through my Instagram, and she sent some great
photos too that I'll put on Facebook and Instagram to
share with you guys. She says, for your random active
kindness birthday request, I made a Tailor Swift inspired bracelet
(01:57):
in note to leave on my neighbor's windshield. I don't
know him, but he drives around the neighborhood in a
cute little car with Taylor Swift references all over it.
It always makes me smile when I see it parked
on the street on my night walks. The next night,
I went on my walk and the Taylor Swift car
is parked in the same spot, but this time he
(02:17):
left me a note and my own bracelet that he made,
which says, Hi, first off, thank you. Secondly, I want
to be friends. That's so gad Yeah, I just love
the head she reaches out. And then you know, she
made a friend who knows beat me something else and
he included his contact information. So Penny, we want an update.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yes are you guys bff Stone, Yes are you.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Having bracelet making party? Remember when we were on the
cruise and I made you do the Friendship Bracelet making workshop?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah? I took it very seriously.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Okay share our next one.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay see here. A few months ago, I was listening
to your podcast and it hit me that I still
hadn't bought your books, something I've wanted to do but
also i've put off. All of a sudden, I was
extremely motivated to order from your website. I instantly got
online and bought both of your books and two bracelets,
and excitedly awaited their arrival. When the package arrived so
(03:16):
nicely put together with a great little gifts inside. You
do take a lot of pride in your packaging. I
couldn't wait to start reading. I began The Awake Dreamer
sitting in bed one night and reading your book. I
started the chapter Pennies from Heaven. I finished this chapter
and was moving on to the next when my husband
came in and started talking to me. Before I go on,
(03:39):
I need you to understand that my husband and I
exemplify the statement opposites attract. We've been together for twenty
eight years and couldn't be more different and yet so
supportive of one another. As a self proclaimed atheist, my
husband is such a trooper when it comes to listening
to my stories about religion and all the things metaphysical. Anyway,
(03:59):
while talking, he randomly said, are there some pennies that
are worth more than their face value? Just having read
your chapter on coins, I found this odd. I said,
why do you ask? He answered, I found a penny.
I excitedly snapped at him, where is it and what's
the date on it? I had a favorite aunt that
died unexpectedly a few years ago, and I just had
(04:21):
a feeling that was from her. My husband then answered
with nineteen sixty two, which is in fact my aunt's
birth year. I was so excited, I said, give.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It to me.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It was meant for me. I then told him all
about reading the chapter in your book and the perfect
timing of him bringing the penny in. Although he usually
dismisses my stories, he answered, it's crazy. I don't even
know why I picked up that penny. I'm not the
type to even pick up pennies. Now to your birthday request,
After reading that chapter in your book, I was inspired
(04:53):
by your story about buying angel coins and leaving them
for someone to find. I'm an educator but started a
small crystal business two years ago, a love that you
have helped foster in me. Like your angel coins, I
decided to leave random crystals out for others to find.
I've left them in nature, while hiking in the high school,
I teach at around town, et cetera, just hoping a
(05:15):
person finds them who may need them at that moment.
Who knows what journey the discovery will take them on.
Maybe they'll just appreciate its beauty, or maybe it will
lead to an important revelation in their own life. The
whole thing is very exciting to me, so thank you
for the idea and for inspiring so many happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I love that story, and I love that her husband
like isn't open to this at all. And if it
goes to along with her and he finds the penny,
I want to know if that goes along with her
on sense of humor, Yes, you know what I mean
that he finds it in the on birth day, and
that's not a coincidence. She's reading my whole chapter on
how often you know the different ways that our loved
(05:57):
ones will reach out to us feathers and songs and
birds and very often coins. And I always say to
look at the date whenever you find a coin, because
that's often the way they communicate with us. But you
know how much I like leaving my little angel coins around.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I do.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
What a great idea to leave crystals around?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, no, that is great. And the other thing was
that he mentioned that he never even picked up pennies. Well,
that's something that I do also like. I'll see a penny,
and what it was the saying, penny, find a penny,
pick it up all the day, you'll have good luck.
I generally look at my life and go, I have
enough luck. I don't need it. Let someone else find it.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Okay, See you know the second part of that.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I'm sure you're gonna let me know.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Pick a penny up all day long, you'll have good luck.
If you want your luck to stay, you must give
this penny away.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So you just added so much more time in my life.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Now can start picking the cloth.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I'm gonna start side eyeing the pennies as I walk
by them.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
And not pick them up.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, and pretend I don't see them.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well, thank you, so much for sending that in and
supporting my website and buying my books, and good wishes
and blessings to your beautiful happy marriage. I love that dynamic. Okay.
Our next one says, I'm an old woodworker and martial
arts teacher. Writing is not my particular skill. But I've
been wanting to tell you about this for a while now,
(07:16):
and this is the perfect opportunity. So back in the day,
you used to hand it those rainbow bags and put
the chakra stone sets in them and sell them on
your website. Okay, Michael, you don't know me back then,
but I used to hand knit chakra bags and heart
chakra bags and sell them on my website. Okay, and
I loved doing this. You've seen them around. I kind
(07:38):
of like them. Okay. So then I got tennis elbow
and I had to go literally to the doctor and
she was like, what are you doing? Are you playing
a lot of tennis? Now? It was actually pro knitting,
which I don't think I've ever admitted that.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, Oh, you didn't say like, well, were you were
really dying? I was knitting chakra bags, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I just said it was from knitting and crouche and
to Mitis, and I was like thirty five at the time, like,
how embarrassing is that coach? Anyway, so I no longer
saw them on my website. What I loved making those,
so thank you for buying them, all right, she goes on,
I am the proud recipient of one of those, and
the stones are on my altar in my home dojo.
(08:21):
I keep it filled with polished stones and pick one
from the bag almost every day and leave it in
town somewhere, store shelves, ledges and bathrooms, cash registers, gas
pumps wherever I can find. Sometimes I give them out
in person. I am the town crystal fairy. The lady
who owns the Crystal Metaphysical store in town knows what
(08:42):
I do with them, so she only charges me cost
to fill my little bag. Oh I love that. I
also let my new student that the dojo close their
eyes and pick a stone from the bag when they start.
I got this idea from the story you used to
tell about when you and your girls would get rocks
and write happy messages on them and then hide them
around town and then wonder who would find them. I've
(09:05):
been doing this for many years now. Thank you for
sharing your lights to me at that and inspiring me
to take up this practice with ripples of impacts. I
cannot thank you enough. Wow, Well, I cannot thank you enough.
I wish I were known as the crystal Fairy in town.
I bet you wish I was known.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yes, I bet you here she comes, here, she comes
the crystal Fairy.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
What delights this she bring in us? But that is
so great? And I have a story to tell. Yes,
my girls and I used to paint rocks and leave
them around town. But also when I had my in
person office and I would do meetings, I had a
big bag of crystals and I would have the person
you know, shake the bag and close their eyes and
pick a stone. And you just never really think about it.
And I bumped into someone who I had not seen
(09:49):
since two thousand and nine, and he reaches into his
pocket like we bumped into each other, and he goes,
look what I have, And he pulls out a soda
light and a Botswana agate and he said, these are
from the two readings you gave me. And I read that.
He said, every night you can ask my wife. I
take them out of my pocket. I put them on
the dresser every morning, so you just never know, Like
(10:10):
she said, the ripple effect of sharing this stuff, which
I think is just it's just beautiful.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, no, wonderful.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Do you want to read our next one? Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Happy birthday, Samantha. Here's my random act of kindness story.
Last weekend, our race car team was competing in a
large race meet that went over ten days. We got
to chatting with a fellow competitor who was having trouble
with fog on his visor. After a brief chat about it,
I thought nothing more of it and went back to
my pit. A couple of days later, we were sitting
(10:41):
in the staging lanes waiting to start racing, and he
was a few cars over from me when one of
his crew members walked past without hesitation. I stopped the
crew member and gave him a wad of visor glass
wipes that I used to clean my glasses. He went
back and gave them to his driver. That team went
on to make it to the semi finals of their
bracket without incident. But this isn't the reason I'm writing
(11:02):
you this email. It's what happened the next day that
keeps my belief in angels and guides growing on our
last qualifying pass for the event, our driver was involved
in a collision with another vehicle. I know that the
safety equipment kept both of them from harm, but I
believe it was an angel that helped our driver keep
control of the car, resulting in less damage than what
(11:23):
could have been. Everyone involved was unhurt, thankfully, just shaken,
and both teams ours and theirs were able to continue
racing for the remainder of the event. I tied these
two moments together because of how I felt after the dust.
After the dust settled on the accident, the next ont
of my head was handing the first driver the lot
(11:44):
of glass pipes, and just somehow that act of kindness
was rewarded with the act of an angel keeping those
other two drivers safe. That's pretty cool, isn't that.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
And you know what I like about this is I
completely agree with her that the fact that this one kind,
random act of kind is that she did for this
driver that she was competing with actually echoed back to
her team the next day. But what stands out to
me is when she says, I tie these two moments
together because of how I felt, And that's the key.
(12:17):
You've got to trust that intuition, you know, like when
you have a feeling like ooh, someone intervened to help.
I think you have to trust that.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, yeah, no, I agree. I've been trying to do
that more and more.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
How's it working.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Seems to be working pretty well.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
But don't you feel that when you do kind things
it does echo back to you?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah? Yeah, Well that's why I always try to just
stay positive and yeah and do the right thing for
them for the most part, just to make sure that
I don't get any bed juju.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, you just don't share pennies now I have to.
Now you have to.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Maybe leobe collecting pennies that we all own beds.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
No, you wouldn't be No, I'll have a pocket of them.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I'm going to bring them out, yes, and the droving up,
dropping them on cars and mailboxes.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Okay, our next one, says Hi Saviaa that happy birthday.
I feel so privileged to be a part of this
wonderful community celebrating your life. Here is my story of
a random act of kindness. This morning, I gave a
stranger an angel stone that I'd carried for a couple
of months but haven't connected with yet. The bag story
I live in Brooklyn and was waiting for the train
(13:18):
when I saw two women crying, one younger and one older,
looking at a phone in disbelief and distress. Given the
state of things, there's a myriad of circumstances that may
have befallen these strangers, but whatever it was, it was
very personal. I thought, what can I do? And then
it popped into my head. The stone was for the
(13:39):
older woman. I walked over and put my hand on
her shoulder and looked in her eyes and said, God
bless you, and then handed her the stone. Naturally, she
looked surprised. I felt good and grounded after, which I
think is a good indication that it was the right move.
I suspect the message about the stone came from my
guide or spirit family, and feel blessed to be part
(14:00):
of this woman's journey. I pray that the stone gave
the woman a moment of hope and the knowledge that
there are strangers who love them. I do love them
and will continue to wonder about their safety and the
safety of their families. And that's from Melissa. Oh, that
is beautiful. That is so awful to just come across
two women crying and you only have one stone. So
(14:22):
when we do carry these things with us, whether it's
a penny or an angel stone or a crystal, it
is so nice because I think this is what deb
and I and Denise and I have talked about for
years on the podcast, is that sometimes were called upon
to be Earth angels. So maybe that crying woman, maybe
(14:42):
her guide or angel nudged you to notice her crying
while just sitting waiting for the train in Brooklyn and
knew that she needed that stone, just to sometimes you
need a touchstone to hold on to when you're having
one of those sad moments and a reminder that there
aren't good people out there, which you clearly are, Melissa,
So thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I think you're right. Even just a little idy bitty
thing when you're in a funk and you know, someone
just opens the door and it was pleasant. You're at
a store and pleasant behind the counter, you know, and yeah,
just those little things will take you out of that
little funk that you're in. And that's all it really
takes is just to be kind to each other.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yes, and it kind of helps, and it sounds simple,
but it's really really not. I mean, one thing that's
popping into my head randomly. When I was about to
go on stage in Charlotte before the Coast to Coast fight,
was so nervous. I'm stating back there and I could
see you in the audience because you were on the
side at that one time, and I was like, oh,
this is so scary, and I didn't want to walk
(15:44):
out shaking, and so you know how they had to
escort take me out there. She was so so kind
of lovely, and I just said, I'm so nervous, and
she squeezed my hand and that was it.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I felt so much better and the nerves went away. Okay,
and we digress share the next Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I'm an avid listener of psychic teachers and absolutely love
you both. I would first like to thank you for
sharing all your knowledge and goodness with us. Secondly, I
wanted to let you know about my random act of
kindness for your birthday month. I'm a nurse and was
headed to work when I decided I needed a coffee break.
I pulled into the McDonald's on the way to work
(16:24):
and behind me was a state trooper. I decided to
purchase his order for him. I hope it made his
day and yours. It's your made mine a lot brighter.
I always try and live by abundance, attracts abundance and
love the message of random acts of kindness. Yeah, that's
very nice.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
That is really nice. I mean it's important, I think,
to support those who are working so hard to keep
us safe. But who knows it might have saved other drivers.
Maybe that state trooper was so excited by his free
confidence he didn't pull anyone over that morning.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
See he was in a funk and he doesn't freak
up a coffee and that decided going to take the
rest of the day off.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
It's right and just give everybody a free pass.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Would you have done that when you're an officer.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I always get I figure you go as lusia as
long as you had a great excuse.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
You just let them go.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh yeah wow?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
What if they cried?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
No one ever cried. Really, it was Brooklyn people didn't.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
All right. Our next one says, thought you'd like to
know that. In honor of your birthday, wish, I've donated
twenty five handmade soaps to a local shelter for unhoused people.
I have a side business making handmade soap. Lotion, shampoo bars,
et cetera, all made with moon water. That's really cool.
And I gave the shelter a box of full sized soaps.
(17:45):
I just heard from the director that they will be
handing out the soaps at their monthly birthday celebration where
the folks at the shelter get to celebrate their birthdays.
So your birthday wish means that twenty five people living
at the shelter will be getting birthday gifts too. Love
to all you Gemini and cancer babies, you and the
people at the shelter. Wow, thank you so so much
(18:08):
for sharing your talents and your gifts in this beautiful,
beautiful way. My church is affiliated with a local shelter
that helps to support temporarily unhoused people. But they also
have showers and washers and dryers things like that. And
I said to the woman who was running it, what
(18:28):
do you guys need most? And she said, believe it
or not, we need hotel shampoos and conditioners and soaps
because a lot of these people are coming in very temporarily. Obviously,
they don't want to share a bar of soap. We
want to give them the honor and dignity and I
was thinking about all the people at my kids' schools
were at least one parent traveled half the month. So
(18:51):
I went to the principal and put out a call.
And all we did was we put a box in
the school office and people would just save up their
hotel stuff and dump them in there, and when some
of the I would bring them down to the Dyalston Center.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah that makes sense. I never thought about that.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, so you had everybody stealing stuff from hotels.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Too, thanks and dealing it's pretty And you know what
else this center did which I never thought about. They're
the only one in our town where if you go
to do your laundry. So let's say you come to
them and you're just really down and out and your
clothes are dirty, you put your clothes in, you get
your clothes.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Back and oh okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, And the director explained to me, no, like they
just put it into a community pile and you have
to go through the dryer and hopefully find something that
fits you.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, most of the shelters are like that. It's just
easier for the shelter to just churn through.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Oh that just made me sad. Yeah, well, thank you
so much for sharing that. I absolutely love it. Let's
take a very quick break and we'll come right back
to share more of these beautiful, heartwarming stories.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Hi folks, if you've been waiting for my Beginner to
Row course, Unlocking the Mysteries of Terrow, now is the
time to register. This three session course runs Tuesdays July fifteenth,
twenty second, and twenty ninth on Zoom and details are
on my website, Deb Bowen dot com. If you long
(20:24):
to truly began your journey into the depth and symbolism
of Tero, this introductory course is for you. I've been
teaching and reading to Row over forty years, and I
have taught hundreds of people to read. My Unlocking the
Mysteries of Too course teaches you how to begin your
lifetime relationship with Tero. There's so much more information on
(20:47):
my website, Deb Bowen dot com.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I look forward to working with you. Welcome back. How
are you enjoying being on the show.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I'm enjoying it greatly. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Do you like these stories? I do do it here
through lovely Why don't you share the next one?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
OK, this is a very very small act of kindness
that I love doing. When you shop at all these,
you have to use a quarter to unlock the carts,
and sometimes they stick together and can be a general pain.
And of course you have to have a quarter. Not
always a given, especially if.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
You're with Michael. Yeah, he won't have a penny. A
quarter No, not at all.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
No, yeah, apparently, yeah, not always a given in our
increasingly cashless society. So a while back I went to
all these with my quarter in hand and was on
my way to unlock a cart when a very nice
shopper asked if I needed a cart. When I tried
to give that very nice shopper my quarter, she waved
it off and said, someone gave this to me. Just
(21:45):
pass it on. So I did, and have done so
far ever since. On the rare occasion that I don't
see a shopper I need of a cart, I will
leave the cart near the locked carts with the quarter
still in it for someone to find.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I think that is a great idea.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, I no, I think it's a great idea, just
simply because it's shameful that you have to have that
in place, because people just take the cards and bring
them anywhere. So it's nice to have that when you
want to get your quarterback, you know, that's the way
to keep the herd together. But yeah, no, I get.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
That that's an easy but really really a great way
that you could just be the light for someone else.
It's one of my pet Peeves's people who leave cards out.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Oh what you same with me?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, especially when they leave them in a parking spot.
It's like, come on, okay. Our next one is from
our lovely listener and fellow writer and artist, Susan and
I think she's the first one who reached out to
me with what she did. And I'll again, I will
do my best remember to share these photos on social media.
(22:49):
But she took some of her beautiful art and some
crystals and some angel cards and she just hid them
all over town and sent me pictures of where she
hid them. And she writes, since you were mentioning this year,
your birthday wish is for Earth angels to do kind
anonymous deeds. I was inspired to give free crystals, angel cards,
(23:10):
a spirit animal, and a gardens card, and I hid
them all around town. That's great.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Okay, do you want to share it? Next one?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yes? Thank you for teaching us to be the light.
I've ordered from your website many many times over the
years and always appreciate the fortune cookie and free crystal
you include with your orders. I've saved the crystals and
keep them in a bowl by my front door. It
sits next to an angel statue and candle. When I
heard your request for acts of kindness, I've thought of
(23:39):
that bowl of crystals and have spent the last week
handing them out to whomever I feel needs them, like
my neighbor who just lost her cat, and my babysitter
who's going through a breakup. It felt really good, so
I plan to keep this up.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
We have another crystal fairies. They're growing, they are growing.
We're gonna have to start doing that.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I get it. It's just a little thing that someone
just they know that you appreciate and you understand what
they're going through, and that's it. It's as simple as that.
And that just helps somebody feel like people are aware
of me and what I'm going through, and it just
generally makes people feel better.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, and that's what we need in this life, is
just with all the stuff going on in the world,
we need more little things that help make everyone feel better.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yees now, like putting your cards away?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Like putting your cards away, that's right. Okay. So I
just want to say to everyone, thank you so much
for taking time out of your busy lives to not
only do a random active kindness, but then to sit
down and write to me about it. I really can't
tell you enough how grateful I am to all of
you for doing this, and I hope that these stories
(24:45):
inspire everyone to keep doing this and to do more
random acts of kindness. Okay, so before we wrap up,
you know, the last time I had you on the show,
we talked about how we met and and how I
felt like I manifested you, and a listener sent did
was beautiful story about manifesting love in her own life,
(25:08):
and I thought we could share it and I thought
it'd be nice. And sheer here okay on the ship.
So are you ready?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
All right, she writes. Ever since I was very young,
I've always prayed. I grew up Catholic, although my family
was never that strict when it came to religion. I
remember I had a large painting of an angel above
my bed with her arms hugging a lamb. A small
angel statue named Elizabeth, and one of those clear rocks
that had a little white angel inside, whose face I
swore looked just like my mom's. Once I lost my
(25:38):
swimsuit before a big swim meet, so I prayed to
all my angels for guidance, and moments later I found
my suit. I remember that so strongly because of how
amazed I was that it worked. Something so small, but
for hours I had been looking everywhere for it, and
immediately after I prayed, it was if it was right
in front of my eyes. Fast forward, during college, I
(25:59):
became very depress and felt so detached from my younger self.
In fact, I wanted nothing to do with her. She
was so curly and optimistic, and now life was hard
and lonely and helpless. She felt embarrassing to me. During COVID,
I finished college and moved back home and began learning
about crystals. I had found out that my dad had cancer,
and I didn't know who I could pray to because
(26:20):
I no longer felt a strong connection to the organized religions.
So I got a rose courts and amethyst and clear courts,
and I prayed to my crystals, asking for their healing
energy to help my family and me through that time.
Now my dad has been cancer free for five years.
I don't directly correlate his help to the crystals, but
I am so grateful I had them to turn to
(26:41):
when I didn't know where else to go. Also during
this time, I began doing yoga. I went to sound
healing workshops and felt what it was like to mindfully
align my chakras, and it felt amazing. I felt enlightened.
I'd never been so happy to just be myself. I
begun manifesting around this time, and journaling my end tensions
every new moon and reflecting on them when the full
(27:03):
moon minutes return. I had made a long, detailed letter
of exactly what I wanted in a partner. I described
him as having longish brown hair, olive complexion, glasses, preferably
not into video games, but if he is, I can manage.
I described him as kind and gentle and an old soul.
(27:23):
At this point, I hadn't had much experience with boys.
I tried dating a few people, and I always felt
wrong until I met this boy, who I thought was
so funny and cool, and I fell hard. Here I
was thinking, I was so enlightened with my yoga and
my crystals, and I thought this was my time for love.
But boy did I fall hard, and it sure hurt.
(27:44):
My juvenile approach to love was taking advantage of and
I was left feeling like a shell of myself. About
a year or two later, I decided to give the
dating absent chance, and after scrolling for a few weeks
and having the casual what do you do for work
type conversations, I came across a boy who stuck out
to me. He had long, brownish hair, olive skin, and glasses.
(28:07):
He felt so familiar in his pictures, and so I
swiped up. We instantly matched, and I asked him out
for a drink after just a few messages. This was
so at a character for me, being that I was
a very shy and very inexperienced with dating and I'd
never actually gone on a date with someone from an
app before. He asked me by Oprah for coffee, and
(28:29):
so a few days later we met at a coffee
shop called Old Soul, where we talked for hours and
proceeded to walk around the park nearby, making our dates
seven hours long.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
He grew up as a Waldorf kid with a strong
connection to the earth and to spirituality as his mother
is a Kundalini yoga instructor, and he did, in fact
like video games, but hey, it's all about compromise. I
still faced anxieties, especially when we first began dating, but
his constant reassurance and patience made me feel safe to
(29:01):
heal not only my current self but my inner child,
and now I feel more connected to her than ever.
Now we are about to be engaged. We are moving
with our Belgian shepherd dog to our dream city as
he begins graduate school. I can't help but reread that
letter I wrote years prior as they look up at
the man in front of me and think, Wow, did
(29:22):
I really manifest this man? I sure think so. I
have so much gratitude for the universe and the paths
I have had to take to get me to this point,
because without those hard times, I wouldn't be able to
see the magic that is now my life. Thank you
to you both for your time and for this podcast,
as it has only helped continue my journey of self discovery. Wow, well,
(29:44):
thank you so much for sharing that beautiful story, because
that is the up and down of healing. Isn't it
like you feel like you've got it all figured out.
You meet this guy and he's super cute and great,
and then boom, he breaks your heart. That's a test
from the universe. That's when the universe asks you, you know,
is this really what you want? Are you really really
ready to heal? And so we have to have a
(30:05):
lot of self love and inner courage to push through.
And you did. You had the courage within to not
only write that letter of what you were trying to
manifest in a partner, but then once you got over
that first heartache to go onto the dating apps, which
is a really scary thing. But look what she got
out of it. See here's another one who manifested loves right.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, no, that's great. I like what she wrote about
the negative parts of her life being important. We've talked
about this numerous times. I'm a big proponent of that's
actually more important than the positive. Is all the bad
and the negative and because it just it helps you
appreciate everything. Yeah, and I know that I've taken a
lot in my life that and used a lot of
(30:49):
those negatives to kind of shape who I am. Yeah,
and who I am now. So that's another good phrase.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, very important, very very important. Well, that's why I
collect smooth stone to the beach, because they think all
the rough tumble being knocked down by the waves of life,
it smooths out or rough edges, you know. And so
I think that that's a really important reminder. Do you
think you manifested me at all?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
For years? I'd say, for years?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
How did you manage? Well? Did you? Did you write
a little list to your universe?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
My do?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Love? I didn't do that, Unfortunately, I just had in
my head and I knew it. I knew what I wanted,
and I knew the things that I knew, the person
that I was, and what I wanted out of my
life with who I was with. I didn't give up
and I didn't settle to uh you know. And we've
(31:43):
had that's this conversation, one of my little puzzle analogy
that I gave you about relationships and what have you.
But yeah, I think it's the puzzle analogy I don't
remember about how our relationships are like little puzzles where
we have you don't remember.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
No, you did not say I was your missing piece though, No.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
No, no, no that super comporty no no, no, super pointy no.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
No.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
It was about it was about we have a puzzle,
ten thousand piece. It's a really big puzzle, really really difficult,
you know, intrigate pull, and we create The first thing
we generally do is create the border, so the foundation
of the puzzle, which I see as the foundation of
a relationship. You start, all right, they got all the edges,
everything's good. This person is on paper as good as
(32:23):
this dis in it, and then you work in. You
start to work in the inside of it, and there's
the easy parts and you start building those the dating
the months long, and then you get to like the
really hard part, which is like six thousand pieces of
a blue sky. Yeah, and it's all the same, and
it's just about really really taking the time to take
those difficult little shapes and match them up. And some
people will work on it for weeks, work on it
(32:45):
for months, and they'll get to a certain point where
most some people will just say, all right, I have
about you know, we'll call it like two to three
percent left, and I'm good.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Good enough.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
They just walk away good enough, putting the work in
and and people will be good with that, and maybe
three weeks down the world they'll say, okay, you know
what I'm never going to finish this thing, but it's
good enough. Let's put it in the box or put
it under the bed, on a tray or whatever have you.
And I didn't want to do that. I didn't want
to settle. I wanted what I wanted. I wanted to
(33:16):
finish that blue sky. So because I think that it
doesn't have to be hard, and all those little pieces
and those difficult shapes that fit together can be perfect
once they're together, because they create that entire puzzle. Yeah,
I hate to use that the piece of the puzzle. Yeah,
I get that.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
But I think that that's I think that's such a
great analogy because that's what happens with relationships often, whether
you're manifesting them or you're already in one, is people
just kind of give up. They're like, yeah, this is
too hard or it's not what I want.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
It's not even like giving up good enough. Yeah, I
don't think it's like giving up like. I think it's
how much you're willing of that empty space that you
didn't finish, you're willing to not give up on. But say,
I think a lot of people I got one percent left.
I think that's good. I think we have a good relationship,
but it's not. There's always just something something missing, something missing,
(34:06):
or you know, maybe just something that is not. Everybody
looks at us says, wow, that's a beautiful relationship, but
you know, there might just be one little thing there
that's just not And I know that's not petty, but
you know, I don't think you know, But then there
was not sound petty.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Because what's more important in life than our relationships. You
don't have a good relationships ship, it colors everything else
in your world.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
That's true, absolutely affects everything. Yeah, so I think.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
That is really really important. We did our New Moon
list the other night where we wrote down our goals,
and I was excited about this New Moon because it
came after the Day of Miracles, and so we were
writing down our goals and I flipped.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
We had a really good day of miracles. Yeah, the
nail and attire, and.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
It was not a miracle. I'll just say that. Still
excited for the new movie. And so we wrote it
down and I have this book where I write them
in and I flip back to the other New Moon
goals and I think even you were a little surprised
at how they all had come. Yeah, so write it down,
make it happen. I think is so so important. And
(35:11):
if you are out there and you want to manifest
lung it is an up and down journey, it is
a hearing path. But I do believe, like you and
me have talked about, and like this beautiful listener has mentioned,
you know, if you are really focused on it and
you're willing to do the work that you will, that
you will manifest it.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh yeah, I agree, And I think you have to
do the work on yourself as well. First.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, I would think that's the most important. You've got
to be able to look at yourself, the good, the bad,
the ugly. Do the shadow work, you know, like you
were saying how our listener said the tough times helped,
you know, bring out the good times. That's how I
look at shadow work. I mean, you can't have a
beautiful piece of art without some shadow to give it depth.
(35:55):
And it's the same with us. You can't be a
beautiful soul without face seeing the dark parts of your shadow.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah. And there's I think I share that video of
the Beauty to the Dark and the Negative, the one
with Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert. Oh yeah, I saw
that and I was just like, that's it. Yeah, and
you know it's Hopefully you can do a quick google
search of Stephen Colbert interviewing.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Anderson his podcast on grief.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, Grief, that's what went on, and it was about yeah,
it's pretty it's pretty profound what Stephen Colbert says when.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
He knows dark times, he knows how hard those are.
So anyway, I know this story doesn't have a lot
to do with random acts of kindness, but since you
were on the show with me, Michael, I thought this
just came in today and I thought, what agreed, yeah,
story to share with everyone, because I think if you
do random act of kindness, you shouldn't do them authentically
(36:51):
from your heart. But as our race Card listener reminded us,
when you do those random acts of kindness authentically from
your heart, they come back to you. And so if
you are doing the work on yourself and you are
reaching out and connecting with others, then all the love,
whether it's romantic or familial, or friendship love or just
(37:12):
universal love, is going to come back to you.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And I think even the littlest thing that you do
for people, it can make a huge difference to some people. Yeah,
they really could.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah. Okay, so we should get people an update too
that we did. We have found our new home and
we've moved in and everyone's blending and getting along. So
that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Great.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yeah, and we're getting ready to go on a vacation
and we ticked our wedding date. We're getting married in
the Fault and it's going to be absolutely beautiful. I'm
working on addressing all the envelopes for the invites.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yes, yes, we hopefully get those out before we go away.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
