On this Off The Cuff podcast we explore: what's your first instinct when something unexpectedly happens? Then, who do you want to tell when something happens, and why? As you listen to this episode, recorded the day after the event happened, you will hear raw perspectives, thoughts and feelings from this experience (in the moment and after the fact details).
This moment prompted us to delve into life's preciousness of each moment and some of the reasons behind co-creation and law of attraction. The questions one may ask as to the why. From these experiences, we discuss the art of embracing daily dynamic well-being and a gratitude-filled life.
Follow up comment from experience: everything happens for a reason and we have made some changes to our yard! We changed the title of this podcast from unpredictable to unexpected because it captures the feeling better. Every experience has no meaning until we give it one!
May have a follow up podcast that relates to this experience in 2025!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello everyone, welcome to the Daynamics show,
where we remind you to alignwith your dynamic well-being
every day.
That's why the day in Dynamicsis capitalized, because it's a
daily thing.
I'm Marianna, your guide ontoday's journey.
(00:20):
First, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much for beingwith us and know there is a
reason that you have landed here.
There's a reason you'relistening.
Whether our podcast resonateswith you, evokes more thought,
sparks disagreement or triggersintrospection.
Embrace it all.
(00:42):
It is part of your journey tofind your balance on this
subject, because there is noone-size-fits-all path.
Be what serves you, be yourdynamic self.
So our unscripted andunpredictable off-the-cuff
(01:02):
recording will explore thesubject of who do you tell when
something happens?
An event happened yesterday andit's very fresh and raw and I
just feel like it's important toshare with you through the
(01:24):
first-hand emotion that's stillright here about it, and I
usually get into the story later, and I will, because I do want
to go over one thing and thequestion is who do you tell when
(01:44):
something happens?
Like, who is it that you wantto share with?
The obvious, again, may be yourpartner and your relationship,
your marriage, but who is itthat you want to tell when
something happens, because you,when you're telling the event
(02:05):
and experience that you've had,you're telling it from your
experience.
You lived it.
So no one will quite understandabout it like you do, and,
especially in the experiencethat my husband and I had,
(02:26):
you're telling it from theperspective of it just happened
to us and not happened to uslike we're some kind of victim
or something, but or poor me orwhatever, but just we had this
experience unfold in our lifethat I, if someone says, well,
what are you going to do today?
(02:46):
It wouldn't have been whatunfolded.
When you're telling someoneabout it, though, whether it's,
like I said, a FaceTime, a text,a phone call or whatever, they
were not there.
So you're trying to explain itto them like they're sitting
right there with you, like theyknow what you're sort of talking
about, and then telling it likeI was trying to tell it through
(03:11):
text and pictures and video andtrying to make it make sense,
because they've never been toour home I mean pictures of it,
walked around the property andvideo with them, but never
really saw it, and it's nottheir fault that they don't
understand it like you do.
(03:31):
You're just trying to explainit well, but then they're
probably taking it through theirown filter and their own
perception and you're trying toexplain it through your eyes and
your experience and all yoursenses.
So, yeah, I'll go on to thesecond point, which is the story
(03:55):
of what happened.
So the place that we live inhasn't had rain for a while
Probably a good month, months,whatever and I know in the big
picture of other places that'snot a lot, but for this area
it's a lot because there's a lotof trees, there's a lot of
(04:17):
grass and stuff, so it justhasn't had.
It usually happens in thesummer, but this is not usual
for them to sort of have like abit of a drought at this point.
So we were doing our thing,whatever.
And then, oh, we looked in theforecast and said, okay, it's
supposed to rain off and on forthe next few days great, and
(04:38):
could be thunderstorms.
Now where we are, we've beenthrough a lot of thunderstorms,
thunder and lightning storms.
We've been through a lot ofspring storms and rain,
torrential rain, like there'srain, and then there's like rain
, and anyone that's been haveexperienced the difference will
(05:02):
absolutely know the difference.
So my husband was in the housedoing his, doing his, one of his
favorite things and stuff, andthen, so you know, when he's
having his own time, I don'tlike to disturb him but I was
like, hey, it is like you know,we've seen torrential rain, but
this is raining so much Like youmight want to just like come
(05:29):
and see it, and I didn't know ifhe was going to go outside.
But I went outside Now I'dheard thunder in the background
and I had not seen and you knowyou rarely see lightning, I mean
unless you see it in the sky ifyou're looking up.
But we have a deck outside ofour house that you can't really
(05:50):
see it in the sky unless you're,you know, far away.
You can't, but not anything.
So we heard that it wasthundering yeah, great, and then
it was just torrential, likepouring down, like even places
in our, our deck, because we hadadjusted our yard to make it so
when the rain fell off the roofit went down and into some
(06:13):
rocks and stuff and then itwouldn't pile up so much.
Well, it was, it was more thanpiled up.
So I went back outside becauseit's not unusual, just sometimes
, just to take a video of therain and how stormy it is and
just for our records or share itwith family and friends and say
, oh, look at like this is, oreven our daughter that wasn't
(06:35):
home, or whatever, just to say,oh, wow, you know, because you
can be like 30 minutes down theroad and there's like nothing.
But then where we were were atbe some substantial weather so
that he sorry, he, just hefinally came outside and and
then so we were just looking, Iwas like, oh, look at, there's
an issue because we had had aroof addressed and so there was
(06:58):
an issue with the rain and wecould pinpoint it.
You know.
Oh, let's put a marker on thereand know when we call the
roofing guy back or whatever, togo, hey, we need this address
because we don't want stuff tocome down obviously in our
carpet on our deck.
And so my husband was on theother side of our deck it's a
(07:22):
fairly long deck and then he'slike, oh, there's one over here
too.
So I was coming back out with apen and all of a sudden I was
coming around the corner to seemy husband no-transcript seen
(07:55):
and or heard the bang oflightning Like literally I
thought something blew up.
Now, right off our deck, nottoo far, is a propane tank, one
of those big, older ones thatare out grounded, obviously.
(08:20):
Now this lightning struck ourtree, which is probably about, I
don't know, 10 feet from thatpropane tank 10, maybe 20 feet
from that propane tank.
The lightning struck the tree.
Now I don't even know thisafter the fact, but what ended
up happening from an after thefact perspective and then I'll
(08:43):
go back to the in the secondperspective once all of this
weather and lightning andthunder passed and we went out,
was the.
The tree or the lightning hadhit the.
The tree is really tall treeand underneath that we have the
chicken coop because there'sseveral trees around that sort
(09:06):
of make a circle.
So it was a perfect place toput the coop and, don't worry,
the chickens weren't in the coopand all when all this happened.
So the lightning hit.
We could see it stripped piecesoff of the tree and down the
tree and down the tree until itmade a hole in the ground, but
(09:29):
when it hit on the ground itactually made the biggest bang.
Now I'm getting back to the inthe moment for a second here,
because again, when we're on ourdeck looking at this, which is
really, really close, is andeven my husband was closer than
(09:54):
I was because I was coming outof the house and he was closer
to the end, where that propanetank is and where the chicken
coop is.
When I came around the cornerand then all of a sudden there's
this.
I looked over and what is it?
Something travels fast orslower or faster than sound,
anyway.
So all I saw was this biggestbright light of bang and I
(10:18):
thought or not a bang of light?
And I thought what just blew uplike?
Because I thought, oh my god,if it was a propane tank we
probably wouldn't still be here,because obviously there was
still propane in it the.
The light came first and thenthe.
(10:39):
It was such a big, like ballalmost, of light, and then the
bang after, and then it was likemy husband jumped, I jumped, I
(11:07):
ended up.
So almost like the adrenalinehit right away and one of not my
only thought, but one of myfirst thought is like where's
the animals?
Where's our chickens?
First of all, what's going on?
But then my thought was likewhere's our chickens, where's
our dogs?
Because they usually are alwaysoutside with us.
(11:27):
Our cats usually stay inside,but I'm looking for the animals
Because a lot of times they'llgo over by the chicken coop
because they're squirrels, andthen it's almost like it's so
bright that it sort of blindsyou for a second or two or three
, and because we're both lookingtowards that area, and then
(11:55):
with the noise and stuff as well, and then it's just like.
So then I look around first andthen I go back into the house
really fast and then I'm likeand I see the dogs are in there,
and then I see the cats were onthe couch.
And then I come back out andthe chickens are coming around
the corner and then I go backout and I said, are you okay?
(12:18):
And then my husband's runningtowards me and then we both run
into the house again and thenI'm trying to talk to him and
he's like I can't hear you, andI'm like, and then he's talking
so loud and he goes like my earsare ringing so, so loud, like
(12:39):
he was ringing in my ears andsort of lost my vision there for
a few seconds and I'm like, ohmy God.
And now I have to tell you thatthe feeling of that vibration
if someone doesn't believe likeshit has energy and it vibrates,
it does.
I'm an example of that.
We were in the house and then,you know, just going over, he
(13:02):
goes like I thought it was, Ithought it was a goner.
I just thought, after hearingthat bang and not knowing where
it was or what had happened ordone whatever, and then I was
like I was trying to talk to him.
He says, like I still can'thear you because my ears are
ringing, because I could see younow, but my ears ringing.
And my ears weren't ringing.
But I was like again, I wasstill on, like what the hell
(13:25):
just happened?
So then we just, you know, onceis about I don't know, 20
minutes later or something likethat, his, his ears, he goes oh,
I can hear you now could be 15,20 minutes, I'm not sure,
because at that point who caresabout the time you're concerned
about?
Like I was steps away fromreally going over there to see
(13:51):
if the chickens were in the coop, because sometimes when the
weather was bad they would goover to the coop.
But I just knew that, you know,it was thundering and it was
raining so hard that I didn'twant to get soaked.
So I was like no, I'm not, I'mnot going over there.
Something just said you know,stay where you are.
And I did, and I'm so gratefulfor that, because the entrance
to the chicken coop so what hadhappened again came down.
(14:19):
The tree made a hole in theground from that blast, the door
it had busted the door, bustedthe screen, it had busted the
wood pieces of the door andaround the door and then there
was pieces of wood, tree woodall over the place, but just
strips of it, like.
(14:39):
I have pictures of all thisstuff.
Then we're like, well, let's goback out and let's just see
what happened, because what wedidn't understand is the flash
that we saw.
And here's the interesting partof it.
The flash we saw was one thatwas closer to the propane tank,
(14:59):
because there was threelightning strikes within seconds
of each other.
Basically, either that or itbounced off one and went to
whatever it was.
And here's the reason why wehave a camera set up on our
chicken coop.
So I said I wonder if the camerapicked it up.
(15:21):
He goes, he was like what justhappened?
I said, oh my god, what justhappened?
I said all I saw was this biglight and this.
And then after, like this, boom.
But it was like, boom, like.
And I said, like go, it went,vibrated through you, like it
was.
It was like whatever that is.
It's like you saw the lightfirst and then you heard the
noise.
So that's that sound travelsfaster or slower or whatever.
(15:45):
So I said maybe it picked it up, because it usually picks up.
We have it to pick upeverything.
You know, not just pets andhumans.
We have it.
You know any any events thathappen.
You know, not just pets andhumans.
We haven't.
You know any events thathappened.
So we went back and watched thevideo.
It had shown what had happened.
(16:07):
So I'm telling you from afterthe fact.
So the camera showed us thatthere was this big flash of
light, big boom of light, andthen beside the camera, but
didn't get it straight on this.
One was straight on the firstone.
The second one was the one Ithink that we saw, because it
(16:30):
was like right to the right ofwhere my husband was standing,
just off the deck, near thepropane tank.
That's where the second flashhappened.
And then a few seconds laterthere was a less intense flash
of lightning that came down andhappened, all caught on this
(16:51):
camera.
Thank you, camera.
I'm so glad I mean whateveramount of money that we spent on
that camera has paid for us tohave peace of mind, to know what
happened.
So we there was three sets ofstrikes and I just think, like,
(17:18):
how precious is life?
I could have been down there,rain or not, my husband could
have been a little closer, orthe lightning could have been a
little closer, or could havebeen closer to the propane tank,
whatever but we were both outin the deck when this happened.
Now it shook us.
(17:41):
It shook us to the core, andhere's the reason we were such
an adrenaline, my legs wereshaking and it was almost like
you know, when you're like sucha startling event happens and
your body just sort of likedoesn't know how to process it.
So it's just like it's shakingand it's what's happening, what
(18:06):
just happened, what's going on.
And then, once we sort ofsettled down a little bit more
and I was able to get photos,and then I was able to watch a
(18:29):
video a few more times, and thenyou're still processing it and
I'm sure we will, because itjust happened yesterday, in June
I was thinking, wow.
And so once my husband and Isat down and started talking
(18:49):
about it, then we were like thatfirst thing I said to you
earlier.
The first point is who do youtell when something like this
happens?
I didn't want to text mydaughter because she was working
so I thought she'd be cominghome later so I would share with
it, then share it with her.
Then I know Darren reached outto some family and shared it
(19:15):
with them.
And then I reached out to myimmediate family and then I was
trying to explain it to them andsent the video and send
pictures and stuff like that,because they weren't there.
They don't know what it feltlike and experienced, but you're
trying to explain it to themand how, like I said, it shook
(19:35):
you to the core and it's justlike how precious is life?
Because should have been, couldhave been, would have been.
Because should have been, couldhave been, would have been.
What if?
But it wasn't.
We were divinely protected, itwasn't our time to leave this
planet.
It's just like the universetelling us that they're around,
but in the most like wake thehell up type of way that you
(20:02):
know.
I'm sure you guys, guys, theaudience, will have your own
perspective of what that reallycould mean and all that stuff.
And by all means, you know,send us an email and I'd love to
have your feedback as to whatit really meant, uh, but it's
(20:22):
like I talk so much aboutco-creation and I talk so much
about how we attract law ofattraction and I was just like
what was I?
What was the underlyingattraction there?
Was it like because I wasthinking about other people I
(20:43):
know and how much drama thatthey like and stuff like that,
and I was thinking, not right atthat second, but lately or how
some people are going intovictim-poor-me stuff on the
littlest things, and even howI've done that before in both
(21:03):
counts.
And I was just thinking likelaw of attraction and action
here.
So that was both of us, so weboth were part of this
co-creation that happened.
And I was like I don't know, Imight have to do an update this
on this, or like a comment inthe show notes about this, like
(21:26):
what I've really come to afteryou know it will come to me like
it will.
And then I just realized too,it's just like it's perception,
it's just like it's it happenedand it's just like what do you
want to do with this?
Do you want to make it a drama,trauma, or do you want to make
it like, oh, it was a big,wicked storm and we've never
(21:48):
experienced lightning.
That's a really cool experience, because now we can say, yes,
we've experienced this.
So do we attract it just tohave another experience in life
that's different than anyoneelse?
Because, you know, one of theother things that we talk about
a lot is that you know, we'vedone a lot of things in our life
(22:09):
and we've had a lot ofexperiences and and part of even
doing this show, a lot of myshows are done because of
personal experiences and what dothey really mean?
So that's why I wanted to comehere late at night and do this,
because I was like it's so rawand it's so fresh and I just
(22:29):
need to, you know, get it out.
And you know we pride ourselvesin not having anything over 30
minutes, and this might be, whoknows, I'll probably end up
editing this a little bit, eventhough I usually don't do that.
Nonetheless, it's the next day.
I asked my husband how he wasdoing.
(22:52):
He goes.
You know I'm doing okay.
It's okay, because what endedup happening is we were also so
grateful that it was the chickencoop area that got damaged the
ground with the hole in it thatobviously will be filled in and
(23:15):
be okay, and we were able toaddress how to fix the coop door
and all that stuff, until wecan get the proper stuff to do
it.
What it also brought to ourattention is, you know like how
again how incredibly gratefulthat we are I tend to be a
(23:36):
really deep thinker and need tosort of like okay, I understand
law of attraction, like attracts, like and trying to just sort
of almost remember what I wasthinking about or, like I said
earlier, what I had beenthinking about or what we had
been thinking about together,since it was that co-creative
(23:57):
process.
So, have you had an experiencelike that, where it just rocks
your world Because, again, likeI shared, when you're going to
tell someone else, or even today, texting a few people about it,
and it's just like I'm not surewhat I was looking for.
(24:18):
Was I looking for them to go?
Oh my God, was I looking forthem to go?
Well, I hope you're okay.
Was I looking for them to go?
That's crazy.
Was I looking for them to gowhatever?
Like I wasn't sure.
It was such an off-the-wallexperience that it's almost like
(24:40):
you want to share it with yourfamily and friends.
But it's like anything, youdon't know how it's going to
affect someone and realizingright now is like everyone will
process it different.
Everyone will hear that story,like when my daughter did come
home and she goes Holly, are youguys okay?
(25:03):
Yeah, she's like that's, that'swicked.
Like look what that did, likein, in trying to make a little
bit of light on it.
Because, again, when you're notin it and you only see the
results of something, you can'tknow what happened in the middle
of it or the emotions that onehave with it.
(25:27):
So for her it's probably justlike wow, like look at that,
like really, lightning did this.
Again, everyone's living theirown story.
Everyone's got their own life,so does it even matter so much?
Everyone's got their own life,so does it even matter so much?
It's not that they don't care,or it's not their fault for not
(25:49):
being deeply invested in ourstory or our experience, but
that's something that I willponder right now.
Not right now because obviouslywe want to finish this
recording, but that's somethingthat I will ponder right now.
Not right now because obviouslywe want to finish this
recording, but that's somethingthat I will ponder.
(26:10):
It's like what was I expecting?
Yeah, anyway, get our attention, that's for sure.
And it's just like anything now.
It's just an experience thathappened.
It'll be a story that we tell.
It will help others becausewe'll tell them what to do and
(26:31):
what not to do.
So, yeah, I, I challenge you,because life is so precious, to
just call someone, send someonea message, leave nothing
unresolved, because life is here.
(26:52):
And then one minute it's notUnresolved stuff or forgiveness,
or forgiveness of yourself forletting someone take up so much
of your mind, time, orforgiveness of someone that's
already passed and just how youcan find peace with it, or
(27:13):
whatever it might be.
But just I challenge you, takethose tools.
Call someone, send someone amessage, leave nothing
unresolved.
Call someone, send someone amessage, leave nothing
unresolved.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Daynamics show,
where we remind you to alignwith your dynamic well-being

That's why the day in Dynamicsis capitalized, because it's a
daily thing.
I'm Marianna, your guide ontoday's journey.
(00:20):
First, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much for beingwith us and know there is a
reason that you have landed here.
There's a reason you'relistening.
Whether our podcast resonateswith you, evokes more thought,
sparks disagreement or triggersintrospection.
Embrace it all.
(00:42):
It is part of your journey tofind your balance on this
subject, because there is noone-size-fits-all path.
Be what serves you, be yourdynamic self.
So our unscripted andunpredictable off-the-cuff
(01:02):
recording will explore thesubject of who do you tell when
something happens?
An event happened yesterday andit's very fresh and raw and I
just feel like it's important toshare with you through the
(01:24):
first-hand emotion that's stillright here about it, and I
usually get into the story later, and I will, because I do want
to go over one thing and thequestion is who do you tell when
(01:44):
something happens?
Like, who is it that you wantto share with?
The obvious, again, may be yourpartner and your relationship,
your marriage, but who is itthat you want to tell when
something happens, because you,when you're telling the event
(02:05):
and experience that you've had,you're telling it from your
experience.
You lived it.
So no one will quite understandabout it like you do, and,
especially in the experiencethat my husband and I had,
(02:26):
you're telling it from theperspective of it just happened
to us and not happened to uslike we're some kind of victim
or something, but or poor me orwhatever, but just we had this
experience unfold in our lifethat I, if someone says, well,
what are you going to do today?
(02:46):
It wouldn't have been whatunfolded.
When you're telling someoneabout it, though, whether it's,
like I said, a FaceTime, a text,a phone call or whatever, they
were not there.
So you're trying to explain itto them like they're sitting
right there with you, like theyknow what you're sort of talking
about, and then telling it likeI was trying to tell it through
(03:11):
text and pictures and video andtrying to make it make sense,
because they've never been toour home I mean pictures of it,
walked around the property andvideo with them, but never
really saw it, and it's nottheir fault that they don't
understand it like you do.
(03:31):
You're just trying to explainit well, but then they're
probably taking it through theirown filter and their own
perception and you're trying toexplain it through your eyes and
your experience and all yoursenses.
So, yeah, I'll go on to thesecond point, which is the story
(03:55):
of what happened.
So the place that we live inhasn't had rain for a while
Probably a good month, months,whatever and I know in the big
picture of other places that'snot a lot, but for this area
it's a lot because there's a lotof trees, there's a lot of
(04:17):
grass and stuff, so it justhasn't had.
It usually happens in thesummer, but this is not usual
for them to sort of have like abit of a drought at this point.
So we were doing our thing,whatever.
And then, oh, we looked in theforecast and said, okay, it's
supposed to rain off and on forthe next few days great, and
(04:38):
could be thunderstorms.
Now where we are, we've beenthrough a lot of thunderstorms,
thunder and lightning storms.
We've been through a lot ofspring storms and rain,
torrential rain, like there'srain, and then there's like rain
, and anyone that's been haveexperienced the difference will
(05:02):
absolutely know the difference.
So my husband was in the housedoing his, doing his, one of his
favorite things and stuff, andthen, so you know, when he's
having his own time, I don'tlike to disturb him but I was
like, hey, it is like you know,we've seen torrential rain, but
this is raining so much Like youmight want to just like come
(05:29):
and see it, and I didn't know ifhe was going to go outside.
But I went outside Now I'dheard thunder in the background
and I had not seen and you knowyou rarely see lightning, I mean
unless you see it in the sky ifyou're looking up.
But we have a deck outside ofour house that you can't really
(05:50):
see it in the sky unless you're,you know, far away.
You can't, but not anything.
So we heard that it wasthundering yeah, great, and then
it was just torrential, likepouring down, like even places
in our, our deck, because we hadadjusted our yard to make it so
when the rain fell off the roofit went down and into some
(06:13):
rocks and stuff and then itwouldn't pile up so much.
Well, it was, it was more thanpiled up.
So I went back outside becauseit's not unusual, just sometimes
, just to take a video of therain and how stormy it is and
just for our records or share itwith family and friends and say
, oh, look at like this is, oreven our daughter that wasn't
(06:35):
home, or whatever, just to say,oh, wow, you know, because you
can be like 30 minutes down theroad and there's like nothing.
But then where we were were atbe some substantial weather so
that he sorry, he, just hefinally came outside and and
then so we were just looking, Iwas like, oh, look at, there's
an issue because we had had aroof addressed and so there was
(06:58):
an issue with the rain and wecould pinpoint it.
You know.
Oh, let's put a marker on thereand know when we call the
roofing guy back or whatever, togo, hey, we need this address
because we don't want stuff tocome down obviously in our
carpet on our deck.
And so my husband was on theother side of our deck it's a
(07:22):
fairly long deck and then he'slike, oh, there's one over here
too.
So I was coming back out with apen and all of a sudden I was
coming around the corner to seemy husband no-transcript seen
(07:55):
and or heard the bang oflightning Like literally I
thought something blew up.
Now, right off our deck, nottoo far, is a propane tank, one
of those big, older ones thatare out grounded, obviously.
(08:20):
Now this lightning struck ourtree, which is probably about, I
don't know, 10 feet from thatpropane tank 10, maybe 20 feet
from that propane tank.
The lightning struck the tree.
Now I don't even know thisafter the fact, but what ended
up happening from an after thefact perspective and then I'll
(08:43):
go back to the in the secondperspective once all of this
weather and lightning andthunder passed and we went out,
was the.
The tree or the lightning hadhit the.
The tree is really tall treeand underneath that we have the
chicken coop because there'sseveral trees around that sort
(09:06):
of make a circle.
So it was a perfect place toput the coop and, don't worry,
the chickens weren't in the coopand all when all this happened.
So the lightning hit.
We could see it stripped piecesoff of the tree and down the
tree and down the tree until itmade a hole in the ground, but
(09:29):
when it hit on the ground itactually made the biggest bang.
Now I'm getting back to the inthe moment for a second here,
because again, when we're on ourdeck looking at this, which is
really, really close, is andeven my husband was closer than
(09:54):
I was because I was coming outof the house and he was closer
to the end, where that propanetank is and where the chicken
coop is.
When I came around the cornerand then all of a sudden there's
this.
I looked over and what is it?
Something travels fast orslower or faster than sound,
anyway.
So all I saw was this biggestbright light of bang and I
(10:18):
thought or not a bang of light?
And I thought what just blew uplike?
Because I thought, oh my god,if it was a propane tank we
probably wouldn't still be here,because obviously there was
still propane in it the.
The light came first and thenthe.
(10:39):
It was such a big, like ballalmost, of light, and then the
bang after, and then it was likemy husband jumped, I jumped, I
(11:07):
ended up.
So almost like the adrenalinehit right away and one of not my
only thought, but one of myfirst thought is like where's
the animals?
Where's our chickens?
First of all, what's going on?
But then my thought was likewhere's our chickens, where's
our dogs?
Because they usually are alwaysoutside with us.
(11:27):
Our cats usually stay inside,but I'm looking for the animals
Because a lot of times they'llgo over by the chicken coop
because they're squirrels, andthen it's almost like it's so
bright that it sort of blindsyou for a second or two or three
, and because we're both lookingtowards that area, and then
(11:55):
with the noise and stuff as well, and then it's just like.
So then I look around first andthen I go back into the house
really fast and then I'm likeand I see the dogs are in there,
and then I see the cats were onthe couch.
And then I come back out andthe chickens are coming around
the corner and then I go backout and I said, are you okay?
(12:18):
And then my husband's runningtowards me and then we both run
into the house again and thenI'm trying to talk to him and
he's like I can't hear you, andI'm like, and then he's talking
so loud and he goes like my earsare ringing so, so loud, like
(12:39):
he was ringing in my ears andsort of lost my vision there for
a few seconds and I'm like, ohmy God.
And now I have to tell you thatthe feeling of that vibration
if someone doesn't believe likeshit has energy and it vibrates,
it does.
I'm an example of that.
We were in the house and then,you know, just going over, he
(13:02):
goes like I thought it was, Ithought it was a goner.
I just thought, after hearingthat bang and not knowing where
it was or what had happened ordone whatever, and then I was
like I was trying to talk to him.
He says, like I still can'thear you because my ears are
ringing, because I could see younow, but my ears ringing.
And my ears weren't ringing.
But I was like again, I wasstill on, like what the hell
(13:25):
just happened?
So then we just, you know, onceis about I don't know, 20
minutes later or something likethat, his, his ears, he goes oh,
I can hear you now could be 15,20 minutes, I'm not sure,
because at that point who caresabout the time you're concerned
about?
Like I was steps away fromreally going over there to see
(13:51):
if the chickens were in the coop, because sometimes when the
weather was bad they would goover to the coop.
But I just knew that, you know,it was thundering and it was
raining so hard that I didn'twant to get soaked.
So I was like no, I'm not, I'mnot going over there.
Something just said you know,stay where you are.
And I did, and I'm so gratefulfor that, because the entrance
to the chicken coop so what hadhappened again came down.
(14:19):
The tree made a hole in theground from that blast, the door
it had busted the door, bustedthe screen, it had busted the
wood pieces of the door andaround the door and then there
was pieces of wood, tree woodall over the place, but just
strips of it, like.
(14:39):
I have pictures of all thisstuff.
Then we're like, well, let's goback out and let's just see
what happened, because what wedidn't understand is the flash
that we saw.
And here's the interesting partof it.
The flash we saw was one thatwas closer to the propane tank,
(14:59):
because there was threelightning strikes within seconds
of each other.
Basically, either that or itbounced off one and went to
whatever it was.
And here's the reason why wehave a camera set up on our
chicken coop.
So I said I wonder if the camerapicked it up.
(15:21):
He goes, he was like what justhappened?
I said, oh my god, what justhappened?
I said all I saw was this biglight and this.
And then after, like this, boom.
But it was like, boom, like.
And I said, like go, it went,vibrated through you, like it
was.
It was like whatever that is.
It's like you saw the lightfirst and then you heard the
noise.
So that's that sound travelsfaster or slower or whatever.
(15:45):
So I said maybe it picked it up, because it usually picks up.
We have it to pick upeverything.
You know, not just pets andhumans.
We have it.
You know any any events thathappen.
You know, not just pets andhumans.
We haven't.
You know any events thathappened.
So we went back and watched thevideo.
It had shown what had happened.
(16:07):
So I'm telling you from afterthe fact.
So the camera showed us thatthere was this big flash of
light, big boom of light, andthen beside the camera, but
didn't get it straight on this.
One was straight on the firstone.
The second one was the one Ithink that we saw, because it
(16:30):
was like right to the right ofwhere my husband was standing,
just off the deck, near thepropane tank.
That's where the second flashhappened.
And then a few seconds laterthere was a less intense flash
of lightning that came down andhappened, all caught on this
(16:51):
camera.
Thank you, camera.
I'm so glad I mean whateveramount of money that we spent on
that camera has paid for us tohave peace of mind, to know what
happened.
So we there was three sets ofstrikes and I just think, like,
(17:18):
how precious is life?
I could have been down there,rain or not, my husband could
have been a little closer, orthe lightning could have been a
little closer, or could havebeen closer to the propane tank,
whatever but we were both outin the deck when this happened.
Now it shook us.
(17:41):
It shook us to the core, andhere's the reason we were such
an adrenaline, my legs wereshaking and it was almost like
you know, when you're like sucha startling event happens and
your body just sort of likedoesn't know how to process it.
So it's just like it's shakingand it's what's happening, what
(18:06):
just happened, what's going on.
And then, once we sort ofsettled down a little bit more
and I was able to get photos,and then I was able to watch a
(18:29):
video a few more times, and thenyou're still processing it and
I'm sure we will, because itjust happened yesterday, in June
I was thinking, wow.
And so once my husband and Isat down and started talking
(18:49):
about it, then we were like thatfirst thing I said to you
earlier.
The first point is who do youtell when something like this
happens?
I didn't want to text mydaughter because she was working
so I thought she'd be cominghome later so I would share with
it, then share it with her.
Then I know Darren reached outto some family and shared it
(19:15):
with them.
And then I reached out to myimmediate family and then I was
trying to explain it to them andsent the video and send
pictures and stuff like that,because they weren't there.
They don't know what it feltlike and experienced, but you're
trying to explain it to themand how, like I said, it shook
(19:35):
you to the core and it's justlike how precious is life?
Because should have been, couldhave been, would have been.
Because should have been, couldhave been, would have been.
What if?
But it wasn't.
We were divinely protected, itwasn't our time to leave this
planet.
It's just like the universetelling us that they're around,
but in the most like wake thehell up type of way that you
(20:02):
know.
I'm sure you guys, guys, theaudience, will have your own
perspective of what that reallycould mean and all that stuff.
And by all means, you know,send us an email and I'd love to
have your feedback as to whatit really meant, uh, but it's
(20:22):
like I talk so much aboutco-creation and I talk so much
about how we attract law ofattraction and I was just like
what was I?
What was the underlyingattraction there?
Was it like because I wasthinking about other people I
(20:43):
know and how much drama thatthey like and stuff like that,
and I was thinking, not right atthat second, but lately or how
some people are going intovictim-poor-me stuff on the
littlest things, and even howI've done that before in both
(21:03):
counts.
And I was just thinking likelaw of attraction and action
here.
So that was both of us, so weboth were part of this
co-creation that happened.
And I was like I don't know, Imight have to do an update this
on this, or like a comment inthe show notes about this, like
(21:26):
what I've really come to afteryou know it will come to me like
it will.
And then I just realized too,it's just like it's perception,
it's just like it's it happenedand it's just like what do you
want to do with this?
Do you want to make it a drama,trauma, or do you want to make
it like, oh, it was a big,wicked storm and we've never
(21:48):
experienced lightning.
That's a really cool experience, because now we can say, yes,
we've experienced this.
So do we attract it just tohave another experience in life
that's different than anyoneelse?
Because, you know, one of theother things that we talk about
a lot is that you know, we'vedone a lot of things in our life
(22:09):
and we've had a lot ofexperiences and and part of even
doing this show, a lot of myshows are done because of
personal experiences and what dothey really mean?
So that's why I wanted to comehere late at night and do this,
because I was like it's so rawand it's so fresh and I just
(22:29):
need to, you know, get it out.
And you know we pride ourselvesin not having anything over 30
minutes, and this might be, whoknows, I'll probably end up
editing this a little bit, eventhough I usually don't do that.
Nonetheless, it's the next day.
I asked my husband how he wasdoing.
(22:52):
He goes.
You know I'm doing okay.
It's okay, because what endedup happening is we were also so
grateful that it was the chickencoop area that got damaged the
ground with the hole in it thatobviously will be filled in and
(23:15):
be okay, and we were able toaddress how to fix the coop door
and all that stuff, until wecan get the proper stuff to do
it.
What it also brought to ourattention is, you know like how
again how incredibly gratefulthat we are I tend to be a
(23:36):
really deep thinker and need tosort of like okay, I understand
law of attraction, like attracts, like and trying to just sort
of almost remember what I wasthinking about or, like I said
earlier, what I had beenthinking about or what we had
been thinking about together,since it was that co-creative
(23:57):
process.
So, have you had an experiencelike that, where it just rocks
your world Because, again, likeI shared, when you're going to
tell someone else, or even today, texting a few people about it,
and it's just like I'm not surewhat I was looking for.
(24:18):
Was I looking for them to go?
Oh my God, was I looking forthem to go?
Well, I hope you're okay.
Was I looking for them to go?
That's crazy.
Was I looking for them to gowhatever?
Like I wasn't sure.
It was such an off-the-wallexperience that it's almost like
(24:40):
you want to share it with yourfamily and friends.
But it's like anything, youdon't know how it's going to
affect someone and realizingright now is like everyone will
process it different.
Everyone will hear that story,like when my daughter did come
home and she goes Holly, are youguys okay?
(25:03):
Yeah, she's like that's, that'swicked.
Like look what that did, likein, in trying to make a little
bit of light on it.
Because, again, when you're notin it and you only see the
results of something, you can'tknow what happened in the middle
of it or the emotions that onehave with it.
(25:27):
So for her it's probably justlike wow, like look at that,
like really, lightning did this.
Again, everyone's living theirown story.
Everyone's got their own life,so does it even matter so much?
Everyone's got their own life,so does it even matter so much?
It's not that they don't care,or it's not their fault for not
(25:49):
being deeply invested in ourstory or our experience, but
that's something that I willponder right now.
Not right now because obviouslywe want to finish this
recording, but that's somethingthat I will ponder right now.
Not right now because obviouslywe want to finish this
recording, but that's somethingthat I will ponder.
(26:10):
It's like what was I expecting?
Yeah, anyway, get our attention, that's for sure.
And it's just like anything now.
It's just an experience thathappened.
It'll be a story that we tell.
It will help others becausewe'll tell them what to do and
(26:31):
what not to do.
So, yeah, I, I challenge you,because life is so precious, to
just call someone, send someonea message, leave nothing
unresolved, because life is here.
(26:52):
And then one minute it's notUnresolved stuff or forgiveness,
or forgiveness of yourself forletting someone take up so much
of your mind, time, orforgiveness of someone that's
already passed and just how youcan find peace with it, or
(27:13):
whatever it might be.
But just I challenge you, takethose tools.
Call someone, send someone amessage, leave nothing
unresolved.
Call someone, send someone amessage, leave nothing
unresolved.
We have some compelling showscoming up and some great past
recordings, so go and see whatcatches your attention on our
