Speaker 1 (00:09):
you're listening to the love movement with your
hosts britney and brian johnston.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We're starting a movement centered around love to
help raise the vibration ofthis beautiful planet.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
If that's your vibe, hang out with us as we chat
about many topics all centeredaround three main pillars Loving
yourself, loving each other andloving the planet.
So if you're ready, let's jumpin.
Happy Valentine's Day, friends.
Happy Valentine's Day.
We're coming at you with areally short and sweet episode
15.
Kind of late in the day, butit's still Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I think what we wanted to do is just um, I don't
know put a little more love outin the world, since that's what
, uh, this channel or thispodcast is all about and maybe
just give some people somereminders of how to love
yourself, each other and theplanet more yeah, because I
think the more love we can, youknow, give ourselves, each other
and the planet, the more we canraise the vibration as a
collective and just feel thelove.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Today, some people are like I don't know, oh, it's
just another day.
What do you think about thatmentality?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I mean, I get it because it's just.
You know, people get into theroutine of their lives and it
just feels like another day.
I think that's why you have tobe intentional.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, and I think Valentine's Day is just another
day to focus on love and, tolike, bring more attention to it
, so there's nothing wrong withit.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, I think it's a good opportunity to reconnect
and bring back those lovingfeelings that we all once had,
especially if we were in arelationship.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, and I want to know and hear from you guys what
are your Valentine's Daytraditions?
Are there things that you do,that you always do?
Let's maybe spread some of thatlove with each other too, and
maybe help each other with ideas.
What were we doing four yearsago today?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Four years ago today, Four years ago today, we were
at the hospital and oh man.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Waiting to get induced.
Waiting to get induced orderingsushi.
Yeah, so our tradition is sushi.
However, I'm on a 12-week mealplan and sushi is not included,
so maybe tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Just order sushi and eat the middle.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
No rice for you, I'll just watch you eat it.
But yeah, it's funny becauseour son turns four tomorrow.
Luckily he did not arrive onValentine's Day, so we do
separate the holidays, but a lotof our Valentine's Day involves
getting his big day ready.
So we've been Brian was makinghomemade cupcakes from scratch
and wrapping presents, andtonight we're going to make a
balloon arch like we did lastyear.
Now we've gotten ourselves intothis predicament, but it's all
(02:50):
because I love seeing the smileon his face and it's just more
like spreading love, and it'sfun that he gets to have V-Day
and then B-Day.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, how cool is that.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Taking it as it is.
But with that you guys let'sjust share a little bit about
when you think of Brian, likeloving yourself, what are some
things that you know we can helppeople to remind them to do?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, there's obviously the self-care aspects.
Taking care of your health, Ithink, is the number one thing.
Food is both medicine and yourpoison.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
So I think, honoring, like your, your body, like it
as a you know, a vessel.
It's the only place you have tolive.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Try to keep the red 40 away from your children.
There's a lot of things we needto keep away from our children
and I think my advice would beto just do something that you
want to do, not that you shoulddo.
I feel like I don't know,especially as women and moms,
and we're busy and there's amillion things on the to do list
and it's never ending.
It feels like just stop andpause for a minute and do
(03:51):
something that you want to do.
For me, that was sleeping inthis morning with my son instead
of getting up and doing aworkout and I'll do yoga later
because to me, that is somethingI love to do and then this
morning we went for a walk.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
After we dropped him off at preschool, which was
really nice to just stop andhave that time.
I guess that's more aboutloving each other because we
spent time with each other, butI made a really nice matcha warm
drink before we left and likejust little thing, it can be
such a little thing.
Maybe it's a bubble bath.
Maybe it's your favoriteNetflix show.
We just finished the finale ofBeast Games.
(04:25):
That was something I wanted todo.
By the way, this is not an ad.
If you haven't started watchingBeast Games, you should
probably get on that.
Anything else, for LoveYourself.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I don't know, you're just.
I mean, every single person onthe planet is a unique
expression of life and I thinkwe just need to look at
ourselves as I don't know, justthis amazing, amazing being that
we are, and love ourselvesbecause, because we're unique.
(05:02):
But the fact that we get to behere on this planet experiencing
the good and the bad is prettyamazing.
I think I might have said thisin the first episode we did
about love, but you think abouthow many planets and stars that
are in the galaxy.
So think of it this way starsthat are in the galaxy.
(05:27):
So think of it this way everysingle grain of sand that's on
Earth represents approximately abillion planets in space.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
We should share that reel in the show notes of this,
because it is absolutelymind-blowing how insignificant I
feel when I look at that.
But grateful at the same timebut grateful because it's like
winning the million 10 milliondollar lottery or something the
fact that we do get to be hereand experience this yeah, like
when we, when you say theinfinite universe, the universe
(05:54):
is is infinite.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
We'll never know how, where it ends, how it began,
but the fact that we can justsit here and have this
conversation, that like yougotta love yourself for just
being able to experience thatyeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And then loving each other and I don't think this
necessarily means you have tohave a partner or a husband or a
wife or any of these things,but just loving each other in
general I think it's justhumanity yeah, there's actually
a book.
We got Marty for Valentine'sday and he's getting another one
for his birthday, or yeah, forhis birthday.
So it's called the invisiblestring, which is kind of
(06:31):
representation of us all lovingeach other.
Explain the concept.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Uh, the invisible string is just like this.
I don't know if I've only Idon't even think I've read the
whole book.
Oh, I've read it so many times.
You've read it to him a lot, soyou explain it.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Basically, you just have like an invisible string
attached from you to anybodythat you love and that can never
be cut or severed as long asthere's always love there and it
can reach to.
You know it's like it's a storyfor you to explain to your kids
that they're never alone andthat everybody is connected.
It's a really nice book.
The author is Patrice Karst.
I think We'll link it in theshow notes too.
(07:04):
I just got it on Amazon.
It's been a nice little giftI've been sending to people
lately, and then the InvisibleWeb is another book by her that
we haven't read yet.
So we're giving that to himtomorrow.
But it's kind of that conceptwhen it's like we are all
connected.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
We are connected.
And again, like if we zoom outon the planet and you look at
the earth from space, it justlooks like a peaceful, you know
ball floating in space.
There's, there's no drama,there's no nothing going on.
But when you zoom right downinto earth, there's all this
conflict and all these theatricsand you know political drama
(07:39):
and stuff people trying todivide everywhere.
It just I feel like if we justlook through all that and we
just look at people and soulsand souls as just what they are,
which we're all, just you know,like I said, expressions of
creation really and you look ateach other on a soul level,
(08:02):
without all the differences ofhow we think and how we live and
all that stuff, we can reallyget back to to everything, just
love.
So just, I think, just lookingthrough a light at everyone and
everything with that sense oflove and no judgment, like it's
(08:24):
hard to do that's part of thehuman experience, something you
work on.
Yeah, it's part of the humanexperience well, and something
else.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
When we went for this walk, we just like stopped and
we're.
We did a little reel on thisone rock and the sun was just
shining, it was nice.
And then we just stood up andgave each other a hug and we
just like hugged each other forlike two minutes probably,
without saying anything.
And I just thought I wanted tochallenge anybody listening to
this that does have asignificant other to just hug
each other for like two minutesprobably without saying anything
.
And I just thought I wanted tochallenge anybody listening to
this that does have asignificant other to just hug
each other but don't even speak,just hug for longer than one
(08:55):
second.
Like hug for two minutes, yeah,because you can literally feel
the love.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, your heart centers are connected.
Your everything's connected.
All your chakras are allaligned with each other.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
We do that lots in the mornings too.
Marty will notice and come upand want a family hug and get in
the middle of it and I justthink like there's so much power
in a hug, right?
Or a kiss.
Or maybe today it's a makeout,who knows?
It's Valentine's Day and buyyour wife flowers.
Brian said to me the other daydo you still want flowers?
I'm like, why is this even aquestion?
(09:27):
I always want flowers.
This is a given.
So I wasn't expecting to wakeup to them on the island this
morning, but there they were andthey're beautiful and they make
me happy, and so do my red gelnails.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So yeah, if you don't have a partner to hug, hug your
dog or your cat or man, hug atree.
That's what I was just going tosay.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You knew you were going to say that.
I was like, oh, hug a tree, ohmy gosh.
But it's true, like there'sjust such a little ways to love
each other and even just asimple thing for preschool today
.
I had this idea last week and Ithought I'm going to just act
on this instead of doing nothingabout it.
Because you know, the kids giveeach other Valentines but
sometimes people bring likebaking or cute little gifts and
all these ideas and I'm like,wow, I'm so not the creative mom
(10:07):
.
But one thing that we do withMarty every night is we say
affirmations.
Why don't you say the ones thatwe say?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, I'm strong.
Oh yeah, I'm strong, I'm kind,I'm confident, I'm loving, I'm
patient, I'm patient, I'mcapable, and then I usually
throw in a bonus there, I'mawesome.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Which I forgot to put I'm awesome on the sheet, but I
basically printed off theaffirmations we say with him,
added a few more thanks to chatGPT helping me out and laminated
them and gave them to all thekids in his class and I just
think, like that's a way tospread love, is to help this
younger generation learn to lovethemselves and to say such
positive affirmations tothemselves.
So a little way that you canspread some love to each other
(10:52):
too.
Just little gestures.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
And lastly.
Well, I was going to saysomething else about loving each
other but I kind of lost it.
Maybe we'll circle around tothat.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, I said to to you today.
We were chatting about this onour walk.
We're gonna do this quicklittle podcast.
Um, I was like, well, whatwould you say for loving the
planet?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
well, no, I was.
I know what I was gonna say.
Oh, I was gonna say like, bethe change you want to see in
the world, like that quote bymahatma just gonna say okay,
gandhi yeah it's mahatma gandhiso, no matter what everyone else
is doing, what is the bookyou've been reading lately?
Let them by Mel Robbins.
I've been listening to it.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh yes, I was like I've not been reading any books.
I need to do that, yeah, butLet them yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So if someone else isn't being you know the person
that you want them to be andthey're causing drama in your
life, just let them.
Let them and just send themlove and don't let it bother you
.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, and there's another plug.
We have a lot of things to linksuddenly in the show notes
because the Let them Theory bookby Mel Robbins is absolutely
life-changing and I think if theworld I think this might sound
dramatic but if the world knewabout the Let them Theory and
human design that we talkedabout last podcast, this world
would be such a different placeyeah, and there's a couple other
books that go way deeper intothe let them theory.
(12:14):
Um, but yeah, that concept is wecan get so annoyed with other
people, or wanting to changethem, or wishing they would do
this, or wishing they would dothat.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, it's like just let them yeah expectations,
anyway, it's expectations.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Anyway, Okay.
So when I had asked you when wewere walking today, what do you
think about love, loving theplanet, Like what would you say
for that?
And you said I don't know Cause.
I said just enjoy nature, Causewe were outside enjoying nature
Like it was such a beautifulmorning.
And then you said, um, do you?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
remember what you said I.
Well, the planet doesn't needus, but we need the planet.
It's like we take this planetso for granted.
We try to live separate from it, but we're all 100% connected.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And you said just to say thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, and just say thank you Like, thank you, thank
you, thank you, like an amazingthing you can do in your life
not necessarily about this, butjust in general is just to say
thank you, thank you, thank you,and just be in a frequency of
gratitude all the time, nomatter how good or bad it is,
just being thankful for thislife or anything, the fact that
(13:23):
you can go turn on a tap andhave water or flush a toilet, or
you have a roof over your heador anything people to talk to,
to say thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Anything else you can think about for loving the
planets, that's a good one um, Imean this.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
this planet is really such a beautiful place and like
we're walking through the woodsthis morning and like every
time I watch a movie that takesplace on another planet and they
create this like super coolscene and this magical looking
planet, and then I have arealization that well, that's us
(13:59):
living on this planet.
We're just here all the time.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
We don't it's like we don't notice the beauty.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
We don't notice the beauty.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
It's like when we moved out to BC right, and
people that live in BC it'snormal to them to just see all
the beauty, but we're just likein awe of it and it reminds them
.
Oh yeah, it is really beautifulhere.
Well, as an example, it'sbeautiful everywhere, yeah but
that was just an like a tangibleexample of noticing what's
right in front of you withoutsometimes even realizing it's
right in front of you.
And that also goes to like yourpartner like if you have a
(14:29):
partner, or even with your kidsor whatever.
Those people drive you crazysome of the time, but at the end
of the day, you really lovethat person and to remind
yourself and talk about it Ifyou're listening to this before
it's Valentine's Day or maybebefore you have a date night or
something, instead of justzoning out to a movie or Netflix
series together, talk, sit andto talk and have conversation
(14:56):
and then to go for walks and totalk about what we're going to
talk about here, you know, likeit's just conversation versus
being around each other but nottalking to each other.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
There's a difference yeah, and I think, just when it
comes to the planet, justknowing that I don't know, I
don't even know what to say.
It's just a beautiful, it's abeautiful place.
I, every day, I'm in awe of itand I just would love if people
respected it more, because it'sreally, it's really hard for me
(15:25):
to see the things we do to theplanet and knowing that we're
we're part of it.
Yeah, yeah.
So pick up some litter.
It's like the minimal thing youcan do but also don't litter in
the first place also don'tlitter.
But yeah, be the change you wantto see in the world.
If you see someone you knowdoing harm to the planet, that's
(15:48):
doing harm to yourself, it'sdoing harm to your kids, it's
doing harm to your family.
Everything's connected.
Everything's connected.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So call them out on it yeah, but but spread some
love today.
You know, whether it's a smileat somebody else or buying the
person's coffee behind you inthe lineup at Starbucks or Tim's
or whatever, little things cango so far and the ripple effect
is massive.
So don't underestimate it, buthave a really great Valentine's
Day everybody.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Or date night.
If you're listening to thislater, I would, uh, I would say,
go go enjoy a sunrise, go enjoya sunset.
Um, I really love looking up atthe stars at night, you do, and
the moon lately, oh my, it'sjust.
I don't know when you reallyget lost in it and forget about
everything else in your life andyou get lost in the vastness of
(16:34):
it all.
It's pretty cool, it's a reallyneat feeling.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I could easily get you a telescope.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I've been wanting a telescope for a really long time
.
Now he says it A really longtime.

I guess that's more aboutloving each other because we

But grateful at the same timebut grateful because it's like
winning the million 10 milliondollar lottery or something the
fact that we do get to be hereand experience this yeah, like
when we, when you say theinfinite universe, the universe
(05:54):
is is infinite.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
We'll never know how, where it ends, how it began,
but the fact that we can justsit here and have this

whole book.
Oh, I've read it so many times.
You've read it to him a lot, soyou explain it.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Basically, you just have like an invisible string
attached from you to anybodythat you love and that can never
be cut or severed as long asthere's always love there and it
can reach to.
You know it's like it's a storyfor you to explain to your kids
that they're never alone andthat everybody is connected.
It's a really nice book.
The author is Patrice Karst.
I think We'll link it in theshow notes too.
(07:04):
I just got it on Amazon.
It's been a nice little giftI've been sending to people
lately, and then the InvisibleWeb is another book by her that
we haven't read yet.
So we're giving that to himtomorrow.
But it's kind of that conceptwhen it's like we are all
connected.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
We are connected.
And again, like if we zoom outon the planet and you look at
the earth from space, it justlooks like a peaceful, you know
ball floating in space.
There's, there's no drama,there's no nothing going on.
But when you zoom right downinto earth, there's all this
conflict and all these theatricsand you know political drama
(07:39):
and stuff people trying todivide everywhere.
It just I feel like if we justlook through all that and we
just look at people and soulsand souls as just what they are,
which we're all, just you know,like I said, expressions of
creation really and you look ateach other on a soul level,
(08:02):
without all the differences ofhow we think and how we live and
all that stuff, we can reallyget back to to everything, just
love.
So just, I think, just lookingthrough a light at everyone and
everything with that sense oflove and no judgment, like it's
(08:24):
hard to do that's part of thehuman experience, something you
work on.
Yeah, it's part of the humanexperience well, and something
else.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
When we went for this walk, we just like stopped and
we're.
We did a little reel on thisone rock and the sun was just
shining, it was nice.
And then we just stood up andgave each other a hug and we
just like hugged each other forlike two minutes probably,
without saying anything.
And I just thought I wanted tochallenge anybody listening to
this that does have asignificant other to just hug
each other for like two minutesprobably without saying anything
.
And I just thought I wanted tochallenge anybody listening to
this that does have asignificant other to just hug
each other but don't even speak,just hug for longer than one
(08:55):
second.
Like hug for two minutes, yeah,because you can literally feel
the love.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, your heart centers are connected.
Your everything's connected.
All your chakras are allaligned with each other.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
We do that lots in the mornings too.
Marty will notice and come upand want a family hug and get in
the middle of it and I justthink like there's so much power
in a hug, right?
Or a kiss.
Or maybe today it's a makeout,who knows?
It's Valentine's Day and buyyour wife flowers.
Brian said to me the other daydo you still want flowers?
I'm like, why is this even aquestion?
(09:27):
I always want flowers.
This is a given.
So I wasn't expecting to wakeup to them on the island this
morning, but there they were andthey're beautiful and they make
me happy, and so do my red gelnails.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So yeah, if you don't have a partner to hug, hug your
dog or your cat or man, hug atree.
That's what I was just going tosay.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You knew you were going to say that.
I was like, oh, hug a tree, ohmy gosh.
But it's true, like there'sjust such a little ways to love
each other and even just asimple thing for preschool today
.
I had this idea last week and Ithought I'm going to just act
on this instead of doing nothingabout it.
Because you know, the kids giveeach other Valentines but
sometimes people bring likebaking or cute little gifts and
all these ideas and I'm like,wow, I'm so not the creative mom
(10:07):
.
But one thing that we do withMarty every night is we say
affirmations.
Why don't you say the ones thatwe say?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, I'm strong.
Oh yeah, I'm strong, I'm kind,I'm confident, I'm loving, I'm
patient, I'm patient, I'mcapable, and then I usually
throw in a bonus there, I'mawesome.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Which I forgot to put I'm awesome on the sheet, but I
basically printed off theaffirmations we say with him,
added a few more thanks to chatGPT helping me out and laminated
them and gave them to all thekids in his class and I just
think, like that's a way tospread love, is to help this
younger generation learn to lovethemselves and to say such
positive affirmations tothemselves.
So a little way that you canspread some love to each other
(10:52):
too.
Just little gestures.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
And lastly.
Well, I was going to saysomething else about loving each
other but I kind of lost it.
Maybe we'll circle around tothat.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, I said to to you today.
We were chatting about this onour walk.
We're gonna do this quicklittle podcast.
Um, I was like, well, whatwould you say for loving the
planet?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
well, no, I was.
I know what I was gonna say.
Oh, I was gonna say like, bethe change you want to see in
the world, like that quote bymahatma just gonna say okay,
gandhi yeah it's mahatma gandhiso, no matter what everyone else
is doing, what is the bookyou've been reading lately?
Let them by Mel Robbins.
I've been listening to it.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh yes, I was like I've not been reading any books.
I need to do that, yeah, butLet them yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So if someone else isn't being you know the person
that you want them to be andthey're causing drama in your
life, just let them.
Let them and just send themlove and don't let it bother you
.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, and there's another plug.
We have a lot of things to linksuddenly in the show notes
because the Let them Theory bookby Mel Robbins is absolutely
life-changing and I think if theworld I think this might sound
dramatic but if the world knewabout the Let them Theory and
human design that we talkedabout last podcast, this world
would be such a different placeyeah, and there's a couple other
books that go way deeper intothe let them theory.
(12:14):
Um, but yeah, that concept is wecan get so annoyed with other
people, or wanting to changethem, or wishing they would do
this, or wishing they would dothat.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, it's like just let them yeah expectations,
anyway, it's expectations.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Anyway, Okay.
So when I had asked you when wewere walking today, what do you
think about love, loving theplanet, Like what would you say
for that?
And you said I don't know Cause.
I said just enjoy nature, Causewe were outside enjoying nature
Like it was such a beautifulmorning.
And then you said, um, do you?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
remember what you said I.
Well, the planet doesn't needus, but we need the planet.
It's like we take this planetso for granted.
We try to live separate from it, but we're all 100% connected.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And you said just to say thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, and just say thank you Like, thank you, thank
you, thank you, like an amazingthing you can do in your life
not necessarily about this, butjust in general is just to say
thank you, thank you, thank you,and just be in a frequency of
gratitude all the time, nomatter how good or bad it is,
just being thankful for thislife or anything, the fact that
(13:23):
you can go turn on a tap andhave water or flush a toilet, or
you have a roof over your heador anything people to talk to,
to say thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Anything else you can think about for loving the
planets, that's a good one um, Imean this.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
this planet is really such a beautiful place and like
we're walking through the woodsthis morning and like every
time I watch a movie that takesplace on another planet and they
create this like super coolscene and this magical looking
planet, and then I have arealization that well, that's us
(13:59):
living on this planet.
We're just here all the time.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
We don't it's like we don't notice the beauty.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
We don't notice the beauty.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
It's like when we moved out to BC right, and
people that live in BC it'snormal to them to just see all
the beauty, but we're just likein awe of it and it reminds them
.
Oh yeah, it is really beautifulhere.
Well, as an example, it'sbeautiful everywhere, yeah but
that was just an like a tangibleexample of noticing what's
right in front of you withoutsometimes even realizing it's
right in front of you.
And that also goes to like yourpartner like if you have a
(14:29):
partner, or even with your kidsor whatever.
Those people drive you crazysome of the time, but at the end
of the day, you really lovethat person and to remind
yourself and talk about it Ifyou're listening to this before
it's Valentine's Day or maybebefore you have a date night or
something, instead of justzoning out to a movie or Netflix
series together, talk, sit andto talk and have conversation
(14:56):
and then to go for walks and totalk about what we're going to
talk about here, you know, likeit's just conversation versus
being around each other but nottalking to each other.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
There's a difference yeah, and I think, just when it
comes to the planet, justknowing that I don't know, I
don't even know what to say.
It's just a beautiful, it's abeautiful place.
I, every day, I'm in awe of itand I just would love if people
respected it more, because it'sreally, it's really hard for me
(15:25):
to see the things we do to theplanet and knowing that we're
we're part of it.
Yeah, yeah.
So pick up some litter.
It's like the minimal thing youcan do but also don't litter in
the first place also don'tlitter.
But yeah, be the change you wantto see in the world.
If you see someone you knowdoing harm to the planet, that's
(15:48):
doing harm to yourself, it'sdoing harm to your kids, it's
doing harm to your family.
Everything's connected.
Everything's connected.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So call them out on it yeah, but but spread some
love today.
You know, whether it's a smileat somebody else or buying the
person's coffee behind you inthe lineup at Starbucks or Tim's
or whatever, little things cango so far and the ripple effect
is massive.
So don't underestimate it, buthave a really great Valentine's
Day everybody.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Or date night.
If you're listening to thislater, I would, uh, I would say,
go go enjoy a sunrise, go enjoya sunset.
Um, I really love looking up atthe stars at night, you do, and
the moon lately, oh my, it'sjust.
I don't know when you reallyget lost in it and forget about
everything else in your life andyou get lost in the vastness of
(16:34):
it all.
It's pretty cool, it's a reallyneat feeling.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I could easily get you a telescope.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I've been wanting a telescope for a really long time
.
Now he says it A really longtime.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
