(00:49):

(01:42):
I wanted to talk about life,right, I wanted to talk about life.
I wanted to talk about the roleand the impact of friendship in our
lives, the role and the impactof friendship in our lives. Through the
years, from Nigeria all the wayto Erica here, I've had some some
friends, not a lot. I'venever been one of those that have a

(02:07):
lot of friends, but I dohave acquaintances that when I do some events,
like big events. When I wasin Tennessee, I would do big
events and boy, people would showup, the media, I would show
up and all that. That's notwhat I'm talking about when I talk about
friendship based. When I'm talking aboutsomething deeper than just acquaintances. And I've

(02:29):
had maybe a handful of people likethat. When I saw some came to
Tennessee, I met up with ayoung lady too, and she was she
was, I tell you what,she was my shadow, right? That
was how close? That was,how very very close. We were wherever

(02:53):
she went, I went. WheneverI went, I went. If I
was invited anywhere, she was there. When I started my show, The
Princess of Saboba, I did oneshow and then I inverted her and she
became a big part of that showtoo. When we did some conferences,

(03:14):
we did it together. So wewere that close. So Ever, after
several years, I just felt thatthere were some people that I needed to
extend my friendship to to not somuch of a friend friend, but to
help to help ignite their passion,to help ignite what God has called them

(03:37):
too, to help ignite their businessand things like that. So I called
my very very very very best friend, and I said the next one or
two years might be a little bitdifferent because I felt in me that what's
inside of me I needed to shareit beyond she and I, which I
didn't believe that she understood them.I did believe. I'm not gonna lie.

(04:00):
I think she understood so, whichmeans that there were certain things that
we were responsibilities that we were doingtogether that she ended up, you know,
carrying on that responsibity is why Iended up doing meeting up with all
this or the ladies. And Ithink that I I mean, if I
wanted to be candid about it,I think that it's not just her alone.

(04:21):
I dropped the ball. She droppedthe ball, But I dropped the
ball, all right, So Iwant to talk about me dropping the ball,
and I leave her to think abouther situation. So and I think
I dropped the ball because I wasI ended up doing radio show and doing
a lot of things TV shows andthings, and she was not a part

(04:44):
of it at that point. Atthat point, I was, you know,
inviting these young people and this allthe people other people that were not
did not have a platform or theywere struggling with their platform. So I
helped them, with the Princess ofSabo via being known in the that area,
I helped to bring them up andraise them up. And so while
I was doing that, I thinkthe mistake that I made was I did

(05:06):
not include her. Even though Ihad informed her, I did not really
include her in that because I thoughtthat she understood that my relationship with hers
it was deeper, and that's whatI thought. So I think there was
a problem where where I dropped theball where that was concerned, and at

(05:28):
the end of the day, thesame people that I tried to create platforms
for kind of you know, evenone of them I took to Nigeria with
me, all expenses paid and allthat, and I think I'm not sure
if they appreciated it. But atthe end of the day, I got
I got stopped. Let's just putit that I got stopped and I got

(05:53):
stopped bring back. So I finallyhad an opportunity to now go back and
up to my friend, which Ireally didn't believe it was my best friend,
and I apologized for dropping the balland not really thinking about her and
her feelings in this. Now.What was interesting about that was that when

(06:15):
we were discussing that, not oncedid she even say, Okay, I
think I can think about mine too. On my part, I think there
were some things that I should havedone. Perhaps when I was hurt,
I should have reached out to youand said, okay, princess, knock
it off. Yeah, I'm hurtby this, but I did so.
I expected her to also come outand say what she was feeling or how

(06:39):
she felt that I betrayed her orwhatever, or how or what things that
she role that she played in inthe in the breakdown of our relationship,
but she never did, so Ijust left it like that. So one
night I decided, you know what, I was just gonna call her and
I was gonna go stay a nightat our house, which was what we
always did. Would come to myhouse. Who I mean, my husband

(07:01):
was very free that allowed us todo whatever. She would come to my
house. She would stay there forthree days and things like that. So
I just said, okay, Iwas gonna do that just to show how
that everything was dune. So Iwent and I stayed at the house that
day. I knew things that changedand new things I changed because she was
keeping some things away from me,and she she literally hugged at laptop.

(07:28):
I don't know what she think Iwas gonna do with her laptop. And
it just wasn't like the way wewere before. And I was deeply hurt
by that because I felt, Okay, forgiveness, it's about just forgiving and
letting go. Especially I didn't youknow, I didn't kill anybody. It
was just misunderstanding amongst those who wecall best friends. And when you call

(07:53):
yourselves best friends, you learn toforgive and let things go. And for
me, I forgive because there arecertain things that she did too that I
forgave and I let things go,and and I thought, okay, on
how part two that was it?But it wasn't it? It just everything
else felt different. That night Iknew, okay, maybe that said it
was over. And I left ahouse the second day and I he was

(08:20):
that was just it. That thatwas just the end of that. And
I kept seeing her, you know, even while we were doing things together
that she would be going to do. You call yourself the vice president of
my nonprofit organization, and yet you'reseeing all over the place raising funds for
everybody else meanwhile not necessarily raising fundsfor the organization that you are. You

(08:46):
say you're a vice president of thatorganization, that nonprofit organization. A lot
of times we would do that,and I would put money into these things
that people would think that it washow raising the money, but we just
fine with me. She was mybest friend, right, So UM,
that was the end of it.So about this has been this has been

(09:09):
at least over four or five yearsor six years ago. So about I
think about one week ago, shejust had coming to my heart for some
reason, I don't know why.Um, and she's just been calling strong
to my heart. I haven't heardfrom her, haven't seen her in a
while. Um, she's from whatI understand, she's relocated somewhere else and

(09:31):
I've looked as somewhere else. Butit's so strong. I just had this
strong feeling and I said to myself, what if I called her and she
wasn't receptive to me calling her?Which was fine, but I was just
like, okay, what if Icalled her and she wasn't really receptive.
So I'm on the path right nowof actually seeking wisdom from other people.

(09:54):
I thought wisdom from one person whosaid, look dancing the past, let
it go U. I saw onewho said, well, if you're feeling
that way, perhaps maybe something youguys are older now is about to something
it's about to happen. Don't don'tever regret it. Then I remembered my
brother in law who just passed aboutlast month in Nigeria, that I never

(10:16):
got a chance to say goodbye to, never knew anything was wrong with herd
with him, And today I regretthat I didn't take the time to actually
tell him how much I care abouthim. So I'm on the path to
really finding out what to do whenthis is concerned. I just know that
friendship is very important. I knowthat no man can live by themselves.

(10:39):
I know that when you find theright one, you would know the right
friendship. I know that some thingswere not quite perfect with us, but
I was fine with that. I'mnot asking anybody to be my shadow.
I just want a friend that cantell me the truth. And so when

(11:01):
I have friendships that cannot call meand say, okay, Princess, you
are out of line on this,it's a little bit different from me to
want to stay in that kind offriendship because I want people that can look
with the island say knock it off, just like I am with them too.
If I have friends in my lifenow that if I'm feeling in my
heart that they gone wrong, ohmy god, I'll tell them. And

(11:24):
everybody knows me, know me thatthe fact they are not Princess. If
they don't know me about anything,they know that about me. So where
am I going with this? No, friendship is very important in our lives.
No matter where you find yourself,being in America, being in London,
being in Nigeria and a part ofthe world, you need to hold
your friendship value your friendships. Ifthere are some friendships that you know that

(11:48):
you blue go and fix it,because life is where too short. You
can see that person today and tomorrowthe person is gone. You are gone,
all right, and you'll never geta chance to actually know what happened.
You'll never get a chance to actuallyturn things around. So I'm on

(12:11):
the path to thinking maybe I'm goingto call this lady, even if nothing
comes out of it, but justto release this heaviness that I'm feeling,
which is I mean, it's beenover six seven years, but I feel
just this heaviness, just this heaviness. I don't know if it has to
do with the person of my brotherin law. I just feel that heaviness

(12:33):
that we might not necessarily be bestof friends anymore, but that perhaps there's
something that I need to finish withher. So wish me luck until next
time. Be inspired, the motivated, be of sentimental value. Understand that
you are the hero in your lifestory. Do not allow anybody to rewrite

(12:54):
your story. You are powerful,you are bad. You are you know
when I's in bad amy bad ina great sense. You can rock this
world. Or understand that you cannotrock it at all all right onto next
time season blah blae. Thank youfor listening to Tear the Veil with Doctor
