SPEAKER_00: 0:10

Alright, we are on the line.

SPEAKER_04: 0:13

Beautiful. It's a beautiful, beautiful fall overcast, rainy, windy day on the ocean. See, there's something special about being by the ocean when there's bad weather. It's almost like it's almost like poetry, right? You it's nice to have sun by the ocean. It's nice. But when you got like a changing climate, changing weather day where the wind is coming in and there's blowing rain, it's kind of like cool.

SPEAKER_00: 0:41

Kind of like weathering heights or something. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 0:46

Something classic. And we're sitting here in PEI by the ocean with Barb.

SPEAKER_01: 0:53

Barb. Barb, hi.

SPEAKER_04: 0:54

You've heard Barb before. She is a uh she's a hypnotist, she's clairvoyant, she's a seeker, she's a listener, she's a lot of things, and she's house sitting in PEI.

SPEAKER_01: 1:06

I am house sitting in PEI. It's amazing where your life can go when you just have a different vision. Or better yet, I didn't really have a vision. I just let the universe have my vision.

SPEAKER_04: 1:20

Yeah. And since we're here and we're talking about creating and creating life and creating the things we want in life, and how do we move towards that mysterious word manifesting? We started talking about the importance of gratitude this morning. And so it might be a good topic because I guess you're experiencing some significant gratitude, eh, Barb?

SPEAKER_01: 1:42

Every day, every minute of every day, tremendously grateful for all that has been brought into my life and exactly where I'm sitting right now. What does that feel like? Gratitude. Wow, it's a very full heart. I cry a lot. Joyful tears when I am present in a moment and I just like right now looking outside and looking at the ocean sitting in front of me in this blustery rainy day. The beauty of that, the gift of being in this place, it just fills me right up. And it just, you know, many a times I just shout out to the universe to say thank you. I'm so blessed. I feel so lucky and so deeply grateful for the gifts that are here for me to enjoy every day.

SPEAKER_00: 2:22

Do you find yourself having, I know this might be sound like a weird question, but do you have say you're looking out at the ocean, do you have the thought first or the feeling first? I am grateful for the ocean.

SPEAKER_01: 2:33

I think it's the feeling that begins to well up as I look at it and I appreciate the beauty of it. Then the realization of what a gift this really is. That and it just is, you know, it's like someone pouring into the top of my head, and I just start filling up from the bottom up, and then my heart just expands to such a degree that it almost feels like it's gonna burst out of my chest, and that just brings such a wave of emotion, of such gratitude and such love, deep, deep appreciation for all that has been given me, all that's been brought to my life.

SPEAKER_04: 3:03

Yeah, we were talking about the significance of gratitude when it comes to creating for yourself uh and through yourself and through your mind and through your heart and the power of your heart, the kind of wonderful life of your dreams, kind of things, quote unquote, wishes coming true.

unknown: 3:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 3:23

And and how do you, you know, what's the role of gratitude in that? There's a lot of teachers out there who are really focused on gratitude as a starting point. And and I hear that, and that causes me to ask, okay, like when I when I hypnotize clients, I say, don't just say these words. I'm gonna say some words, repeat them to yourself, but don't just say them. Try to feel them. Try to create inside yourself a feeling that and an emotional basis for these words, right? With the idea that the emotion is really the active magnet, right? The thing that is the vibrationally being put out into the quantum and then bringing it back. I'll talk more about the quantum in a bit, but you had talked about heart math stuff that you were looking at.

SPEAKER_00: 4:06

Yeah. So I was watching Joe Rogan interview Greg Braden a couple weeks ago. And towards the end of the three hours or something, Greg Braden was talking about how he either went to the heart math institu institute or teaches there. I I can't remember. Anyway, he was explaining this incredible way of having the heart and the brain electromagnetic frequency, if I'm getting that right, move together. So they're not out of sync, they're they're synced up if you were to study it, kind of thing on a graph.

SPEAKER_04: 4:43

And coherence.

SPEAKER_00: 4:45

Coherence, yeah, exactly. Yeah, heart-mind coherence. And he said it's three simple simple steps. And it was so simple that I just sat there and did it and felt the effects of it. So you close your eyes, you place your hand on your heart or your hands on your heart. That step helps you to connect to your heart because you can feel something close to your heart, right? You feel the touch of your hand, and so you're when you know, if if someone touches your foot, your mind automatically goes to your foot, right? So you're touching your heart area, and so your mind goes towards that area, whether it's inside the heart is another story, but you are placing your attention on your heart, and then you breathe a certain way, so you take an in-breath that is shorter than the out breath. Doesn't have to be a certain amount of seconds or anything like that, but you want the out breath to be longer than the in-breath. And then you the third step in all that is just while you're doing that, think of things that bring you gratitude, a friendship or the ocean or anything, a flower on your walk, something like that, coffee in the morning or tea in the afternoon. And that will drop you down into this heart-mind coherence. So that was fascinating to me, and I've used it with every client so far in the last couple weeks to help them get there. So yeah, that was that was really interesting, and you can really feel it. You can feel your body going into a deep, restful state. Yeah, almost as soon as you start it.

SPEAKER_01: 6:23

Well, I can say that I I I've never heard that before, but I can tell you that during my journeys, did a bit of a road trip on the summertime and just finding myself in beautiful, beautiful places. Those are my real moments of gratitude. You know, I'm driving and I look around and I just first of all I would say I'm kind of locking into the moment, so I can't really close my eyes, but I'm locking into just being present to where I am and what I'm seeing, which I'm thinking has a lot to do with closing your eyes. And then I've naturally found my hand, one of my hands, moving towards my heart as if to hold it, because I can feel the fullness of the heart. And that's how I end up finding myself, you know, driving down the road, tears running down my face, and just being filled with gratitude. So that's really interesting to me now that my hand just naturally came to the heart. I don't, it just was doing what it wanted to do, I guess, was to yeah, to be present and attentive to the heart. That's cool, beautiful.

SPEAKER_03: 7:18

So, what's the difference between gratitude and love?

SPEAKER_01: 7:22

I don't know if there is a difference.

SPEAKER_03: 7:24

Explain.

SPEAKER_01: 7:25

Yeah. Um I think that when you love someone, when you love something, when you're in a moment that you're just filled with love, I think gratitude is part of that. I think it's a component of love because I can't I can't feel a way to separate the two of them. How can I be gracious for something, grateful for something and not feel love towards it? I'm I'm not gonna be grateful for the pile of dog doo-doo at my feet. I I don't feel any gratitude towards that when I have to pick that up. But when I look out on the trees right now, outside, I look out in the ocean, I love the beauty of it. And with that love comes this overwhelming feeling of gratitude of just being so grateful for having the gift of that to look at, the gift of that to feel, to be a part of. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 8:12

I think like like Barbara's saying, I I don't really see a separation between them because like this morning, checking in with my guides, Lesett asked me a question and sort of about this. What is gratitude? And the first thing that came to me from my guides was it's just a word. It's just a word, it's all the same. And that led me to looking up other languages, words that meant gratitude. Most other languages, it's the word for thank you or thanks. Lovely. And so I said one word in Hindi. I can't remember exactly what it is now, but I said, Do you know what this word means to less? And he said, No. And that would not that I knew Hindi. But it was it was to get in the game. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Why not? It was to I guess get a point across that gratitude is just a word, it's an English word. It it's it's a frequency that we're after here, not the word. Yes.

SPEAKER_04: 9:11

There it is. Yes, there it is. And I think that's it.

SPEAKER_01: 9:15

It holds energy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 9:17

Yeah, that's the that's the thing that I've been looking for. That's why I I want to talk about this. This is why I'm focused on this and have been for a couple of weeks. Because, you know, feeling gratitude is vibrational, right? It's an energy and it has a frequency. And I don't see it either as a frequency dissimilar from love. But I see, you know, gratitude, I I think about appreciation and acknowledgement. There's a certain amount of awareness and appreciating that which you are grateful for. It's you're grateful because you appreciate something powerfully positive about that. And then then that powerly positiveness comes from where it fits into your life, where it fits into your day-to-day experience. You know, there's things we're grateful for all the time. Like every morning, I wake up and I am grateful for my bed and my pillow. I wake up and it's just that's the perfect time. Like I've been there all night, but it's just those last hours of sleep where it just is perfect now. I'm I'm perfectly warm, I'm perfectly comfortable, I'm perfectly set, and I'm perfectly willing to stay there. And he does. And and it's and it's natural for me to then slide into that gratitude. And then for me, that's the morning practice, right? The morning practice is I roll over and I'm aware that I'm awake and I start to this feeling so grateful about the comfort and and peace that I'm in and the awareness of having been, you know, spoken to through the night in my dreams, because I feel like, you know, my guides are there. Well, every night when I go to bed, I ask for help. I it's now every night. I say, please help me, please give me what I need in the night. And they never decline, they never not respond. Just sometimes what they give me, I don't want, but that's their problem. The point is that um it leads me naturally into sort of a morning practice of, you know, of words that I say to myself. And I say these words to myself because they I use them as a mindset that creates a vibration, a physical awareness that I can then try to turn into a sensation in my body, in my mind, in my heart, that I can then cling to and try to find a base in. So my practice is to immediately, when I wake up, just immediately start with I am one with the father, the father is one with me. And that's where I start. Everybody's got their own words for oneness, and everybody's got their own sense of appreciation. Anyway, where all of that leads me is I think, okay, well, that's a state in which I can naturally find gratitude, and there's a certain sensation to that. But if I'm trying to use the concept of gratitude to create in my world, so I'm using it as a base vibration that draws to me uh like things. Like, first of all, you know, that you don't have to, you don't have to believe in quantum physics or believe in vibration to know that feeling good is feeling good. And it's a whole lot better than feeling bad. And so feeling good and dwelling in feeling good is a smart thing to do because it will cause you to treat others differently. It will cause you to react to your life differently, it will cause you to open and be a little more willing to that which you might find difficult and naturally resistant to in your life on a day-to-day basis, whether it's a baby crying or a job you gotta go to, or you know, remembering that you ran out of cream and you can't have your coffee this morning, whatever it is, you will react better to it having spent time getting yourself in a good space. So, you know, I'm I'm actively at this point in my life trying to get myself vibrationally equivalent to that which I want.

SPEAKER_02: 13:19

Yes.

SPEAKER_04: 13:19

That which I'm seeking, that's what that which I'm desiring. And so it was a few weeks ago. I was like, well, what is gratitude exactly? Like I come to the table thinking of it as appreciation, as thankfulness. And so I spent some time with my guides and I asked them, like, what is this? What is what is this the vibration of gratitude? And in many respects, they sort of were quick to me the same way you were. This one is just a word, it's just a concept. And it it's for me, it's like, well, what's the vibration? What's the what's the essence to the idea? And they said to me, it's the awareness that things could be different.

unknown: 13:56

Yes.

SPEAKER_04: 13:57

And I had to sit with that for a while. It's the awareness and the appreciation of what is, because it could be different. And I'm not gonna say it could be worse, but I think that's the implication. It could be different, it could be not what it is. You know, so I think about, you know, a Christmas present. As a little kid, you get a Christmas present. If it's what you want, right? There's a different feeling than if it's something that's okay, but not what you wanted. You know, I think that those kinds of childish feelings are good to tap into because they they give you some awareness of who we are at our most revealing level. And so, like, it could be different. I could have received something that maybe I I want less. And with that comes to me a visually a trajectory, an upward trajectory that suggests that I am getting, I am receiving, I am dwelling in that which could be different and is good and could be even better. And so that trajectory from ah, that's what I wouldn't want, this is what I got, that's what I'd really like. And I can see then how gratitude is like a kind of a ladder that you climb and direct yourself towards sort of the life of your dream. Yeah. Anyway, when they said that to me, it caught me off guard because it certainly wouldn't have been, I was stuck in concepts of appreciation. And they said, yeah, that it things could be different. And it's a joyful thankfulness for that.

SPEAKER_01: 15:24

Somewhere around 25 years ago, hate to even say that number. Sometimes I wake up and I go, oh my god, how did I ever get here? I did my first degree of Reiki training, and in that, the first night that we worked together, our instructor asked us to close our eyes, take ourselves back to the beginning of our day. And what is the very first thing that you think of when you wake up in the morning? And for me, a single mom with three kids struggling to get by each day, I said the first thought in my head was, Oh, another day. Here I go again. And I was really florid when my girlfriend who sat across the route from me, she said, Well, as soon as I wake up, I just I feel so grateful for another opportunity to just live my life and see what this day is going to bring me. And as soon as I heard that, I realized that she was shaping her day from the moment her consciousness flipped from unconscious to conscious. And it's made me really aware what a gift that was, how simple that statement was. But what the awareness that that brought me at that moment, that if I wake up every day and go, oh, another day, that's what I'm having. And so I've really changed that. I wake up and I say, I look forward to the opportunity of today. What is today going to bring? I bring it in with gratitude because I'm grateful for the opportunity for yet another opportunity to see what I can build today, what I can do today, what I can have today, and what a difference that made in my life just by shifting that little thing every day instead of waking up and being angry about having to get up and deal with another day, instead looking for the opportunity.

SPEAKER_00: 16:58

Yeah, yeah. I have a not a similar story, but it reminded me. And I'm glad it reminded me what you just said. Earlier this year, I was thinking about I don't even know, multiple things about why we're here on earth and what we're going through. And it came to me then, and I had forgotten about it, and it's just something I don't want to forget about is this as a soul, as some as a human that's a soul living out a body's life. I'm grateful to have another day here on earth to to be closer to God's source, to to express God's source.

SPEAKER_02: 17:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 17:38

And that I remember when it first hit me, there was a real welling up of excitement. Wow, I'm here. I get to, I get to really feel into this contrast of being separate. I get to learn new ways of being closer to God, whether I implement or not. Or I forget another opportunity. Get going for with your day.

unknown: 17:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 17:57

But yeah, I remember that was a good moment. And so I just wrote it down again. Because it's easy to forget that.

SPEAKER_01: 18:04

Yeah, it is. We we I I think part of gratitude is we really do need to be in the moment.

SPEAKER_00: 18:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 18:09

We really need to be attentive to this moment. This is the only moment that exists. This is all that we have. And so being attentive to this moment, we tend to stop and notice the little things. I'm not projecting my day ahead six hours from now. I'm not welling on yesterday. I'm just in this moment. And in this moment, you know, I'm waking up in my nice warm bed, as Les said, with my pillow in the perfect shape because I've been curled up in that. It's all nice and warm. This is complete perfection. This is wonderful. And the the gratitude for that moment of that small graces, I think it's it really is. It's about being attentive to just the little graces that are given to us each day, that next breath. What a gift.

SPEAKER_04: 18:50

Yeah, I'd I'd expand on that. Gratitude as a concept and as an emotion and as a vibrational state was kind of like a window or a perspective that you could put on anything, that it's a really neat one to apply. So, for example, you know, uh, it's it's Saturday, I got a million things I want to do, a million things I can do. And I look out and I say to myself, I gotta cut the grass. And then I pause and I say, Well, how do I see that with gratitude? Well, I'm a really lucky guy that I've got grass to cut. Yeah. I'm a really lucky guy that not only do I have grass to cut, I got a lot of freaking grass to cut. And that makes me like really abundant.

SPEAKER_01: 19:33

And a new lawnmower.

SPEAKER_04: 19:34

Well, and and that's when again I want to manifest things, and I was able this summer to manifest a new lawnmower. It just, I just followed the the breadcrumbs to the point where there was a new lawnmower in the in the yard. But it's that it's that seeing that ability to take something and seeing it through gratitude, because I'd much rather have grass to cut than not have grass to cut. And, you know, things could be different. And it's the same with these, as you said, the dog doo-doo, right? You know, uh I'm out there before I cut the grass picking up the dog doo-doo. And you know, it's I'm I'm counting the poops and going to the regular locations and I'm thinking, you know, oh man. And then I realize, boy, I love having a dog. I really love her. She is just such a wonderful little being in my life. And if if if somebody said, Les, you can have a dog, but you're gonna have to pick up poo, I'd say, well, okay, I'll pick up poo. Because that's how wonderful it is to have a dog. And, you know, that's it, could be different. I could not have a dog, I wouldn't be picking up poo, but I wouldn't have that companionship and that friendship. Now, maybe, you know, being grateful for the poo, I get more of it. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01: 20:49

Abundance is great.

SPEAKER_04: 20:51

But that's right.

SPEAKER_01: 20:52

Be grateful you don't have two dogs.

SPEAKER_04: 20:54

Yeah, but I guess I see gratitude as also it it's a window or a perspective that you could look at things through.

SPEAKER_01: 21:02

Yeah, yes. It's almost like a rose-colored glasses when they say, you know, you're looking at life. I've had people say to me, You're looking at life through rose-colored glasses. And I say, Well, what's wrong with that?

SPEAKER_02: 21:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 21:10

It means I'm seeing the upside of everything, doesn't it? It means that I'm seeing that everything holds wonder and promise and joy. And it does. Yeah, and to me, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 21:20

So I was gonna ask you, Barbut, you are in the habit of doing that now. Yeah. Right? It's it's part of your day-to-day. Is it a choice that you have to think about each time, or is it a natural you just go there?

SPEAKER_01: 21:35

I would say at this point in my life, it's probably a 78% I naturally go there. I'm not gonna be superhuman. I'm gonna have my days that aren't so great either. And there are days that, you know, I remember that book that says, you know, I'm having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, that book that was there. Because everything, one thing from the other to the other, something goes wrong, right? So we can all have those days where we just kind of feel like we definitely got up out of the wrong side of the bed and everything seems to be an uphill battle. But even in those days, I will stop and I will remind myself, I might get caught up in it for the first hour or so, and it might be a bit grumpy, and it might be like, oh, come on, like, geez, I can't even find my shoes now. And then something inside of me just reminds me really quietly. You have isn't that lovely that you have sh-n it wonderful that you have a place to go, that you're desperate to find your shoes on. Isn't that all? And then it all just comes rushing into me that I realize that all of it has been maybe just a reminder that I've been kind of taking it for granted. And I need to stop and see that that everything everything is to be great. Everything. Because I'm here to experience it and I'm here to enjoy it. Yeah, but I do think it does you do have to make a conscious effort because we live in a society that really makes the other conscious effort. I mean, you don't pick up a newspaper and read nice things. We're not reading good things when we go into social media most of the time, unless that's the stream that we've created by what we follow. And but we're still gonna see the bombs that get dropped in there because they're always trying to lure you to another stream or to another idea. And so, yeah, I've made conscious decisions that I don't live in social media. I don't let my and whatever I whenever I do go into social media, I don't follow those streams that lead me to the dark because it's easy to go to the dark. There's more dark than there is light on many different channels that we go into. But I'm choosing to dial my channel to the light as I say that as the sun is now coming out and the gray is clearing. So it started off very much as a conscious decision and really doing that. And now I just find that I'm naturally flowing in that direction. It's like my river changed courses, and now I'm just following that stream.

unknown: 23:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 23:42

Yeah, I'm glad you said that. Uh at home when we do the podcast, I always have the sun in my eye.

SPEAKER_00: 23:47

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 23:48

And now I do too. Yeah. And I'm facing a different direction, different time of day, but I got the sun in my eye. And yeah, it's pretty special. I guess I wanted to add on to the idea to take it back to, you know, it's people say, you know, if you want to manifest better, you know, start with gratitude. And and I suppose that's that seemed okay to me, but it's now, you know, spending some time learning about, you know, the quantum, the the collapsing of the field, the the stuff that everything is made of, right? The matrix. There's lots of words for it, but you know, the scientists are gonna tell you that um everything is energy, and that energy responds to human intention. And intention is right along the lines of expectation and anticipation. You know, if everything is just energy and space, then how does the floor hold me up, right? Except that I expect it to. That I anticipate it well so deeply that I never think about it. I just never think about is this floor gonna hold me up? I don't ever think, oh, I've got to get to the bathroom. Is this floor safe? Right? I just get up and walk, right? And I don't say, I wonder if the bathroom will be there when I get there, right? I just expect it to be there, and that's how we collapse out of the quantum, according to you know, quantum physics. And so it's gratitude creates an appreciation that says this is good. It could have been different, and it's good, and so I can anticipate more good in the future, I can expect more good, and then more of what I'm liking is gonna turn up in the same way, just quite literally collapsing the field into a vibrational level that gives me a vibrational level of gratitude, excitement, joy, anticipation. It's a really great practice to lift your expectations of what life will bring.

SPEAKER_01: 25:49

But I do think it's a mind shift. I do think that, I think that, like with all things, habits are developed. We create thought patterns, we create habits in which we do. We don't think about tying our shoes anymore, we just tie them. It was a habit, a muscle, a motor, a muscle motor skill that we taught ourselves. And the mind isn't any different. So we have to make a conscious decision, first of all, to train that mind to think in a certain pattern. And when we start to create that pattern, encouraging that pattern and that habit of thought. And from there, we can create anything that we want. We can manifest anything that we want. I'm sitting in it, proof. I'm I'm manifest at this. I'm sitting in PEI in a beautiful home, staring at the ocean. This wasn't my reality six months ago, this wasn't my reality three months ago. It's but it's been a conscious process. And I think that's maybe what I'm trying to say is we have to be conscious. We have too much unconscious thought, we have too much programmed, we have too much habit. Conscious effort. If you want change in your life, it requires conscious effort. I consciously want to be grateful. I want to be grateful. I am grateful.

SPEAKER_04: 26:51

I am not my mind. I am the awareness behind my mind. My mind is something that I can train. I can choose to look through the window of gratitude and turn that into a habit. And looking at things that way, I am aware that things could be different, but they're very good, and I appreciate. And in that way, I collapse more of the same out of the quantum, out of the field. But it's about knowing that it's a thought pattern, and that thought pattern has to be generated and maintained so it becomes a thought habit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 27:28

Yeah, because it's easy to wake up in the morning and just jump out of bed and not even think, you know, the habit now for me at least is laying there thinking about my coffee.

SPEAKER_04: 27:38

Oh, sorry.

SPEAKER_00: 27:41

Not as much anymore. Getting excited for the coffee. Yeah.

unknown: 27:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 27:46

And then you've got your coffee, and it's just natural to then be thinking, what do I have to do next? Or I'll jump online, uh, you know, check out the community, make sure everything's answered. Well, what should I put in the community?

SPEAKER_01: 28:01

And while you're thinking about all that and you're sipping your coffee, yeah, you're forgetting to be grateful for the coffee.

SPEAKER_00: 28:06

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 28:07

Because we're spinning. Yeah. That's what I mean by we really need to be present in the moment because when you sit in that moment, you see the loveliness in which that moment is holding for you right now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 28:18

And that was my joke, right? You wake up and the first thing you say is, What hurts? What's how is that hurting today? Oh my god, that's stiff, that's sore. Oh, oh, I can get up. I know I can get up. Okay. And and you know, what I mean is, first of all, we're in a body, and the body is going to remind us that we're in a body, and we can get in the habit of thinking about the body and worrying about the body and looking at the body not through a window of gratitude, but through a window of effort. And then we are constantly allowing ourselves to be attacked by the things we should be afraid of. The world is filled with things that we should be afraid of, people and activities and things going on all over the world. And so this is the stuff that draws us quickly into fear. We wake up and we get ourselves drawn into the world of fear when, you know, yeah, that habit, that practice of waking up and being aware that you really appreciate a lot of the parts of your life, a lot of the things that you can have and be and do today. And then that creates a perspective, an upward trajectory. Things are pretty good. They could have been different things are pretty darn good.

SPEAKER_00: 29:31

And I think I think the morning is probably the best time a day to get that rolling. I mean, you can do it any time of day. We we started thinking about gratitude today very early. But I'm during coffee. During coffee. But I'm only now in the last couple hours really feeling it or under thinking I understand it a little more or g falling into it. And I think it was helped along the throughout the day by you know music. We were listening to, or two eagles over the field dancing to the music, or the rocks and the crystals that we saw in the shop and holding those. And I yeah, I think it was a lot of frequency change based on what uh what we put ourselves through today to, you know, not in a bad way putting ourselves through, but where we situated ourselves.

SPEAKER_04: 30:22

Well, and then we look at it, this was a pretty darn good day. And it could have been different. And I wonder how much our conversation about gratitude while we were drinking coffee.

SPEAKER_00: 30:33

Mm-hmm. Maybe shift a little bit.

SPEAKER_04: 30:34

Yeah. Created those opportunities. Because then, and we gotta put in the plug because we're in PEI and we gotta talk about Matt.

SPEAKER_01: 30:42

Matt, Matt's dude in the coffee coffee. He's our dude. Matt at the lucky bean. Lucky bean in Montague PEI.

SPEAKER_04: 30:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 30:50

Yeah. Matt's our dude. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 30:53

Good coffee.

SPEAKER_01: 30:54

Good coffee, great sandwiches, good treats, good music. Yep. That's the big thing about Matt. It's got great taste in music. We know that.

SPEAKER_04: 31:01

Great, great conversations about it.

SPEAKER_01: 31:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 31:03

And yeah, it could have been different. It could have been just another coffee shop with just another coffee.

SPEAKER_01: 31:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 31:08

Um, which would've might have could have been satisfactory.

SPEAKER_01: 31:12

We would still be grateful for it because still got coffee and got food.

SPEAKER_04: 31:15

Yeah. But here we are with a special appreciation and a level of gratitude for Matt. And the name of the place again?

SPEAKER_01: 31:22

Lucky Bean.

SPEAKER_04: 31:23

Lucky Bean.

SPEAKER_01: 31:24

Yeah, in Montague PEI. Check it out.

SPEAKER_04: 31:28

Say hi to Matt for us.

SPEAKER_01: 31:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 31:32

The Fleetwood people. That's that's how he'll know.

SPEAKER_01: 31:34

Fleetwood moment. That's right. That's right. Yeah. No, it it was, it's beautiful. It's beautiful. And yeah, I think that in order to have gratitude, you know, we're human. We're rushing from place to place. We're doing things from time to time. We lose the moment. We lose the moment. We as much as we try to be in the moment, as much as we try to be mindful of the moment, we're human. We're going to lose the moment. But again, developing that habit that when we slow down, when we can recover that moment. And I don't care if that recovering that moment is sipping a cup of coffee, if it's standing in line at the grocery store where you just get to pause for a minute, like wherever it is, when you recover that moment to Hillary, you talked about that. Maybe, maybe at that moment, close our eyes again, put our hand on our heart and just take in the moment and realize what a gift the moment is. And I think little things like that can really begin to shift your day.

SPEAKER_00: 32:25

Yeah. Not on like meditation, right? Coming back, recognizing and coming back to center, recognizing and coming back to center, recognizing and coming back.

SPEAKER_01: 32:35

Exactly. We think we have next week, but really we're only living this moment right now. That's it. Oh, getting a call.

unknown: 32:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 32:49
