Transcript

Welcome to Life,

Lessons,

And Laughter with your host Glenn Ambrose.

Hello everyone.

Welcome to the podcast.

Today we are talking about your tribe or who you surround yourself with.

You know,

That term tribe is getting very popular now.

Which is cool.

You know,

I kind of like that.

I kind of like that term.

How about you,

Ben?

Sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like it.

I like what it means anyway.

Yeah.

It's just,

I think it's a different word.

So it kind of,

It's,

You know,

People can kind of give it the meaning they want.

And it's,

I think it's,

A lot of times it can be smaller or some people use in a business sense where it actually gets a bit larger.

You can almost,

You can almost give it whatever meaning you want.

You know,

It's got the flexibility of it.

So which is cool.

Yeah.

But,

You know,

So this is,

So we've done a hundred episodes now.

And I think that we haven't really talked about,

I mean,

We've talked about the people that you're around as far as setting boundaries and relationships and stuff like that,

But we've never really just had a full episode about talking about who you're around.

Yeah.

Right.

Who you choose to surround yourself with.

Yeah.

I mean,

Like with me,

With me,

This kind of comes in at two,

You know,

Two directions.

One who you want to surround yourself with.

And the other side of that is who you don't want to surround yourself with.

You know,

So I mean,

The,

Or who you don't want to surround yourself with is kind of easy when it gets a lot easier when you're living authentically.

You know,

When you're speaking your truth,

When you're setting healthy boundaries,

When you love yourself,

It's really not difficult to get rid of people,

You know,

Because it's just you,

The more you love yourself,

The less you're going to put up with people treating you poorly,

You know,

And it's,

It's not,

Uh,

What's cool.

And I've seen a lot of my clients experience this is it's not this big,

I'm cutting them out of my life drama,

You know,

Usually it's just,

And even if they try to make it that you don't get involved in that because you know,

It isn't that,

You know,

So it's just kind of setting boundaries like,

No,

I,

You know,

I don't like you treating me that way.

And then,

You know,

That usually stops people in their tracks,

Like,

Huh?

You know,

And they'll get upset and if they're,

If they are capable of respecting you and treating you the way that you're asking to be treated,

Then,

You know,

It might be a little shocking at first for them,

But they'll make the adjustment.

It's really not that big of a deal,

You know,

Because they respect you and,

Or they're willing to learn to respect you either way.

That's fine,

But if,

If they don't,

It's,

It's going to end real abruptly,

You know,

Because it's just,

No,

No,

Don't,

I don't like that.

No,

I don't like that.

And then all of a sudden,

You know,

A lot of times I find people just,

I always say it this way.

I just find them not around.

I don't,

I don't do anything.

Probably nine times out of 10,

Probably 99 out of a hundred.

I don't do anything to,

To remove anybody out of my life.

I just,

You know,

I might think of them a couple months later and go,

Huh,

They're not really in my life anymore.

That's interesting.

You know,

That's,

That's more like how it happens.

And I see it with my clients too,

You know,

Like when I'm working,

Working with them through a situation like this,

Where there's somebody that's,

That's just not treating them right.

And they start setting healthy boundaries and they're like,

You know what?

I haven't heard from them in a while.

It's like,

Yeah,

That's kind of how it works.

You know,

You're just,

Because people,

People who are kind of set in the,

The,

The mentality of treating people poorly and that,

And they're not willing to change,

They're vibrating at a negative,

You know,

A low vibration.

So it's,

It's very uncomfortable for them to be around somebody who,

Who is healthy.

You know,

Just as it's,

It's actually more uncomfortable for an unhealthy person to be around a healthy person than the reverse,

Which I think is really cool,

Cool and interesting.

You know,

So because if you're in good space and somebody's just negative around you,

If you're in really good space,

Then it just doesn't affect you because you don't take it personally.

You just rise above it and you just don't put up with it.

It's really not that big of a deal.

You know,

It's not like there's a shock that there are meatheads out there.

You know,

We know that there's meatheads out there.

So,

So when you're in good space and you,

You're interacting with somebody that's acting like one,

You just go,

Oh yeah,

There's one.

Yeah.

Okay.

You just don't take it personally.

But for them,

They're trying to get a reaction and trying to get a negative reaction and not achieving that.

And it's very uncomfortable for them.

You know,

They need to fuel that negativity with,

With energy from the other side.

And if they're not getting that,

They're just going to go get it somewhere else.

You know,

If they're not willing to change,

Of course.

So,

So what do you think about all that?

Ben Benjamin?

Well,

I think that that's,

I think that that's really important stuff.

And I think that when you get,

I think that it's really important to it.

We talked about a couple of episodes ago,

Uh,

Energy vampires.

Yes.

So I think that you really stressed in that episode and just now how important it is to get the draining people away from you.

And so that you can lay a good foundation,

You know?

Right.

It's you,

If you,

So we talked a little bit about the five people that you surround yourself with theory.

Right.

Uh,

You being that this,

Of course,

Meaning that you're the mean of the,

You're the average of the five people that you surround yourself with.

So if you're surrounding yourself with negative people,

Then,

You know,

You will end up becoming more negative,

Whether you want to or not.

Yeah.

Um,

We just kind of have like a biblical tie in like the,

The,

The parable of the sower and the seeds,

You know,

You want to,

You want to,

Um,

Do you know what I'm talking about at all?

It sounds familiar,

But it's not clicking yet.

It's like,

Uh,

There,

There was a farmer who planted some seeds and he planted some seeds in,

Um,

Good soil and he planted some seeds and rocky soil and he planted some,

You know,

And,

Uh,

I,

I wish that I knew the parable off the top of my head.

Um,

Me too.

It really sounds familiar,

But it's basically,

Uh,

He goes through each seed,

Uh,

How it grows,

But then it eventually gets choked,

Uh,

By weeds or,

Or it doesn't grow because,

You know,

So the,

The friends are the soil.

I will look at this parable and put it in the show.

Yeah.

So,

So I mean,

Yeah,

I,

I,

But I get the point of it and it's,

Um,

It's funny.

I was just kind of,

Um,

Michael Bernard Beckwith,

Uh,

Agape and his,

I'm not sure where I saw this,

But something that he was doing,

They were,

They were talking about that.

It's like we blossom when our environment is right,

You know,

So our environment is our life.

So when we're,

When we're creating our environment,

You know,

Which is a huge part of our environment is the people that we surround ourselves with.

So you know,

When that environment is right,

That's when we really blossom.

And you know,

Obviously like when,

When they talk about,

Um,

When Michael Bernard Beckwith talks about this,

He talks about really every area of your environment,

Like how you're thinking and you know,

Like if you,

If you feel you're not worthy of making,

Um,

Uh,

A larger income,

Then you're not going to make a larger income.

So that's part of it too.

It's your thinking,

You know,

When your thinking is healthy and when you love yourself and when you surround yourself with healthy people,

All that creates,

Uh,

An environment or a,

Like the soil in which you to,

Uh,

For you to blossom in,

You know,

And like he,

He also talks about it like,

Like a rose,

A rose seed,

I believe he used for an example,

Can be blown around in the wind for years,

You know,

For long periods of time until it lands in the right environment.

When it lands in the right place where it's got the right soil and the right amount of moisture and the right amount of sun,

All of a sudden it takes root and grows there.

And that's what we need to do in our own lives.

And that's what we can,

You know,

Are the people we surround ourselves with is a large aspect of that,

You know,

Because it is the,

It's,

It's almost like,

Um,

It's almost like that the soil around us,

You know,

Like we can't be,

If you're the only good like inch of soil,

You're not going to grow a heck of a lot when you got crappy soil all around you.

You know,

It's going to creep into your soil and it ain't going to be good,

You know?

So,

But if you've got good soil all around you and you're good soil,

Then all of a sudden you've got a good environment for yourself to blossom into what you're supposed to be.

So take that.

All right.

So now that we're rid of the bad,

Um,

You know,

And you,

You do your best to,

To stay away from the negativity,

Uh,

At what point,

Like what,

What,

What do you do to surround yourself with a good group of people,

The people that you associate with and how many people are we talking about?

Like when we say the word tribe,

Is that like,

You know,

You're,

You're two,

The two closest people to you,

The 50 people that you interact with,

Like,

What are we talking here?

Well,

I mean,

I think,

And I apparently I'm referring to other teachers a lot today,

But it's just sparking,

Um,

Some specific memories of,

Of where I've heard things about this phrased well and Brene Brown talks about it and she talks about that.

Most people think that we,

We have an unrealistic expectation of,

Of how many deep,

True friends we need to have.

And she says that if you have one or two people that when the crap really hits the fan,

You can turn to,

If you just have one or two people in your life that you can depend on,

No matter what the situation is,

Then you've hit the jackpot.

And most people don't consciously understand that,

You know,

That most times they probably don't slow down enough to think of it,

But so,

So they're always looking for more.

But really,

When,

When it really hits the fan,

You know,

There's just,

If you have one or two people that you can turn to,

That's like hitting the jackpot because a lot of people don't have that for one.

And for two,

Generally that's all you need.

You just need somebody to be there for you.

You know,

They don't have to run in and fix it.

And matter of fact,

It's usually the people who don't try to fix it that are the most helpful,

The ones that are just there for you,

You know,

The ones that are emotionally available,

Those deep people that you can trust with your heart when you're completely open and hurting,

You know,

Those are,

Those are the people.

Now you can also build,

You can have different layers of your tribe too though,

You know,

So you know,

You can have one or two people that you can turn to no matter what is happening in your most hurting,

Vulnerable moments,

And you can also have five or 10 people around you that you like to socialize and be around and hang out with.

And you can have,

You know,

Like one thing that I do regularly is I'll go to like spiritual expos.

And I do that,

Like,

Oh,

It seems like I'll go to like two or three of them within like a,

I don't know,

Four or five month period.

Maybe that's just when they're booked or something.

I don't know.

But I'll go to a few of them and then I won't go to any for six or eight months or something.

But the reason that I go to them is,

I mean,

I used to have tables there years ago and stuff and I don't now,

But that's kind of like me reconnecting with my tribe,

Because I'm caught up in my own business and a lot of people that have been in businesses similar to mine that I've known for a while,

They've grown in their own directions.

And actually,

Our friend Gladys was just talking about this.

I was just talking about this with her the other day.

Our businesses have expanded,

So we've kind of grown in our own ways.

So we've separated to some degree,

But it's nice to reconnect with them too,

On the,

You know,

On the commonalities of the way we live and the directions that we're going,

You know,

Even though we've kind of headed in our own directions,

It's still trying to live a good life and help others.

And it's nice to connect to those people.

And sometimes I only see them once or twice a year,

But they're still kind of a part of my extended tribe and I'm happy to see them.

And it's nice to socialize a little bit.

Definitely.

And of course,

The connective tissue now between you and Gladys is me.

Yes.

I'm the child of this divorce.

Wow.

Well,

I wouldn't say we got divorced.

I split time between,

No,

But I'm sorry.

Yeah,

You're doing a podcast.

So the listeners understand.

So I see both of you every month.

Yes.

And Gladys and I were never together.

So you're not,

We didn't actually get divorced.

Anyway,

So you clarify that.

Well,

You know,

I didn't think of it until just right at the end there for a minute.

And I'm like,

Also,

I'm like,

Oh,

Wait a minute,

People that might not know us might,

You know,

Think that I don't know.

Anywho,

It doesn't really matter.

So the first time that I ever heard or not that I ever heard,

But the first time that I started to really focus on this idea of of a team,

This is kind of silly.

Actually was a TV show.

The T I don't know if you're familiar with it.

Parks and Recreation.

Yeah.

Parks on NBC.

It was like not really a spinoff of The Office,

But it was the same type of thing.

Yeah.

And it's by the creators of The Office.

And the finale of that show is Leslie that know the Amy Poehler character as governor of Indiana gives an address address.

She gives a commencement speech at a university and she talks about the importance of finding your team.

And the actual show in its first six episodes did horrible because they had this separate.

It was this really ambitious girl and woman and everybody in the office that she worked with and they were all different characters that butted heads and everything.

And Michael Schur,

One of the creators of it,

Said that the biggest change and why people started to like the show was they just it started in season two.

They made everybody love each other.

Huh?

So.

So the second that the driving force behind the show was that every all of these characters love each other and they're all working together.

Wow.

And helping each other like the show took off and the chemistry works and everything.

And then the final thing in the show or one of the final things in the shows are talking about going out and finding your team and so that made me put a lot of emphasis on that.

And I don't know,

Like you and I had a conversation last week on the phone about you were like,

Isn't that funny that we're in communication every week?

Like.

Right.

And you meet people you meet every year and like,

Why are we like six years later?

Why are we still.

Right.

And it's.

Yeah.

And I mean,

That was back.

I met you back when I was doing personal training.

So it's I met a lot of people,

You know,

When you're a personal trainer,

You get involved in the community in a way where you get to know a lot of people,

You know,

And there's very few people that I'm still connected with from back then.

But you're one of them.

Yeah.

And yeah,

It was.

I did.

When we were talking,

I felt the need to point that out.

Like,

Do you,

Do you know that have you noticed that,

You know,

We're still in communication because that says something because and,

You know,

It wouldn't have been some,

You know,

Harsh.

Like,

Like,

I still love all those people that I met down there,

Whether I'm in communication with them or not.

And just because I'm not doesn't necessarily mean that they're,

You know,

A bad seed.

I mean,

It just,

You know,

Our lives could have taken different directions,

But it would have been very easy to just fallen out.

Right.

Yeah.

Especially when I stopped personal training and it would have been very easy.

Yeah.

But that's what we do.

You know,

We,

We choose to put it's like anything,

You know,

We it's all energy.

You just,

You have to put energy into it.

And I think that that is,

You know,

That's a big thing when,

When we're building our tribe and our circles,

You know,

You,

You touched on it earlier,

Like,

Well,

How do we do that?

Well,

You put energy towards it,

You know,

If,

If you meet somebody and you go,

Wow,

I really felt comfortable around them.

Wow.

They just,

I,

I,

And I enjoyed being around them.

Then reach back out and try to reconnect with them.

You know,

You know,

Just like a lot of times we'll,

We'll get stuck in our egos and be like,

Oh,

Well,

Did they like me?

And you know,

It turns into a teenage dating scenario.

Like,

Oh,

I don't know if they liked me.

And,

And did they like me as much as I like them and all this stuff?

It's like,

Just,

You know,

Don't worry about it.

If you felt comfortable,

Chances are they felt comfortable.

Does that mean that,

That you're going to be best friends forever or that you're even ever going to reconnect again?

No,

Not necessarily,

But there's,

You know,

Just if,

If you like being around somebody and you think that they might enhance your life in some way,

Then put some energy towards it,

You know,

And,

And try to include them,

Try to build that relationship and see if it works.

And if it doesn't,

You just move on to somebody else.

It's none of it's personal.

You know,

It's just.

Is there something to that?

I feel like I'm getting better at knowing,

Not knowing for sure,

But like I'm starting to have like a sense when I first interact with people,

If there are people,

If there are people that are sticking around or not.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean,

You don't,

You don't want to get,

I think you don't want to get too locked onto that mentality where you're just making snap judgments on everybody,

But a lot of times,

Absolutely you can feel that,

You know?

And I mean,

I did that tremendously when I was meeting people at those expos I mentioned and the spiritual circles and stuff.

I would just have a conversation with,

And honestly,

I don't even know if I was fully conscious that I was doing it at first,

But I would have a conversation with somebody and then I'd be walking away and I'd almost like run a little check.

And if I felt kind of the warm and fuzzies like,

Boy,

That person was really fun to talk to.

Then I'd be,

I'd kind of make a mental note.

Like I want to talk to them again.

They were,

They were fun to be around.

And then if I talked to somebody else and their perspectives just weren't,

You know,

It's not that I necessarily disagreed with their perspectives,

But they just weren't necessarily the same as mine and you know,

Even that can go two ways because sometimes I go,

Ooh,

They're seeing things differently than mine.

But there wasn't a lot of ego attached.

So I could have a real healthy exchange with this person.

Then I might want to reconnect with them just to get their perspective.

Other people are just locked on to their perspective.

Like it's the right way.

And they're not like,

You know,

When,

When you make a statement and you go,

Well,

I see it this way.

And they go,

No,

No.

Like what you have to do is look at it this way.

That's the type of person that I generally don't want to be around because they're not open to seeing things different ways.

They're not respectful of,

Of my perspective.

They just think that they know the answers and that's really not somebody I enjoy having in my life.

I love having people with other perspectives because it enhances mine,

You know,

But if they go,

Oh,

Really?

That's interesting that you see it that way.

I see it this way.

What do you think of that?

Ooh.

Now that's something that I can have a good exchange of ideas with,

You know,

And it might go well.

And afterwards I might be like,

Wow,

That was,

I'd like to have them around.

They're really interesting.

You know?

So it's when,

When you meet people,

You can,

You can,

You know,

It's not,

It's not real rocket science.

It's just a little bit of living consciously.

If you just pay attention to how you're feeling and how the interactions are going a little bit,

Then yeah,

You can make a decision usually right after,

You know,

How many people would you say are in the Glen Ambrose tribe?

Well you know,

It's interesting.

Just a ballpark.

Well it's interesting because a lot of things that I do in life,

And this spills out into a lot of different areas,

I have to hold things loosely,

But don't let go.

If you cling too tightly,

You're going to lose control.

It's a 38 special song.

Can we get Dave to sing that one?

I'll put in the request.

But like my brain has a tendency to latch onto things too much when I,

When I have too much information.

So I tend to hold onto things loosely,

Like my conception of God I hold onto loosely because I want it to have room to expand and grow and even shift and change if it need be.

And so I don't,

I can hyper focus on some things and some things I just let breathe and organically shift the way they're supposed to.

And my tribe is kind of like one of those things in my life that I kind of let,

I just hold onto it loosely and see how it evolves and it's constantly evolving and changing.

So I don't really have a number because I kind of have different layers and they're not real well defined layers either.

So like I have some people that,

Some people I might not talk to for two,

Three years,

But if crap really hit the fan and I needed somebody,

I'd pick up the phone and call them in a heartbeat.

You know,

So,

And I have actually several of those like my hometown and Gardner Mass that I grew up in,

Like we had real deep connections with our friends and the people that we interacted with,

At least I did.

And so I have friendships from back there that are,

That are still rock solid that I,

And I very rarely interact with them.

So I have some of those people out there and it's nice to know that they're there,

Although I don't interact with them that often.

You know?

So would you say that you have multiple tribes?

Can we have multiple tribes?

This is something that we haven't talked about yet.

You can have multiple tribes.

I view it as different layers of my tribe,

But it just depends on whatever term you want to use.

You know,

My term,

Like the way I envision it is like I might have people that I interact with on a regular basis in my business life.

I have people that I interact with on a regular basis with like my son's soccer life.

I have people that I interact with on a regular basis in my personal life,

You know,

Like friends that I go be social with and stuff.

And so that's kind of like one layer with multiple facets to it.

And then you get a little further out and like,

Oh,

And plus the people who come here on a regular basis and,

And,

You know,

Discuss spiritual things and stuff,

They're in there too on a regular,

You know,

They're in that first layer.

Then I get a little further out and it's,

It's people that I talk to,

You know,

A couple times a year and then it's further out.

And you know,

And of course my family's in the center and see,

This is what I mean.

I'm trying to explain it and I can't even fully explain it because I don't even have my head wrapped around it.

It's like,

It's just,

I like having it loose like that though.

Right.

You know,

So yeah,

You can have different layers and different groups that are part of,

And sometimes they'll interact with each other and sometimes they won't.

Who knows?

You know,

I mean,

It's like a Venn diagram.

Oh,

I don't even know what that is.

A Venn?

A Venn diagram.

It's the circles that intersect in the middle.

Oh,

Okay.

Yeah.

It's that.

So,

But yeah,

So mine is very loose.

It's just,

I don't try to control it.

And that's when I do my best,

You know,

I don't try to control everything.

It's just natural.

And I,

When I enjoy being around somebody,

I'm around them.

When I'm not,

I'm not,

You know,

It's,

Like I said,

It's organic breathing,

Moving,

Changing,

Evolving.

Some people drop off for a while.

And then what's cool is when,

Like with my formula,

When they come back in,

It's like they haven't been gone,

You know,

Because there was no personal,

Like,

Oh my God,

Did they leave because there was something wrong or no,

Our lives just took,

Took different turns.

You know,

So,

So I think that that,

You know,

Mine's constantly evolving and changing,

But the thing that's common with it is that they're all loving,

Kind,

Respectful people that have shown me that,

That I can trust them at least to some degree,

You know,

The closer they are to me,

The more I trust them because I let them in closer,

You know.

But to some,

To some degree,

I'm kind of an open book,

You know,

I'm not too worried about people hurting me,

You know,

Because I don't think they really can.

But it's,

Yeah,

It's,

But I don't,

I won't necessarily turn to every single person in my group,

Even though they're kind and loving people.

Because some of them that I might not turn to when crap really hits the fan because,

You know,

I don't know if they're capable of handling it or are we just,

Our relationship just hasn't grown that tightly or whatever.

You know,

I think people like,

Again,

Brené Brown says people have to earn the right to hear your story.

You know,

They need to really earn the right to be able to,

When you're at,

When you're on your knees,

Snot bubble crying and you don't know which way's up and you don't know how you're going to go on and your hope is lost.

The people you turn to then,

You need to pause for a moment,

Put a little thought into that because not everybody in your tribe is going to be capable of handling a situation like that.

I think that this is a great thing to just be conscious of,

You know,

Like it's not necessarily something that because like most most things that we talk about in this show are all work is self work.

Right.

And everything.

And so I think that the main point here is who you surround yourself with matters.

Yes.

Try to make sure that it's positive people that have positive effects on your life and not negative.

Yeah,

Absolutely.

And,

And you know,

If some people benefit more with a little bit more structure than mine is,

You know,

So if,

If you do and you know,

You really want to put,

Especially if,

See if this is an area that you're struggling,

Then you need to put more conscious energy towards it and then maybe bringing in a little bit of structure might work good for you,

You know.

Um,

But if,

If not,

Then you might be able to do it in my type of model where it's breathing and moving and changing all the time and it's not fully,

You know,

Dissected and,

And labeled,

You know,

Um,

Because labeling stuff puts,

You know,

It just puts things in a box a little too much.

So yeah,

It's,

Um,

Put some consciousness towards it,

Pay attention.

Um,

But the main thing is if there are toxic people in your life,

If there are people that are bringing you down,

Then you know,

You,

You need to raise yourself love and set those boundaries so they just kind of naturally find themselves out of your life,

You know,

And it's,

It's not that big of a deal.

You know,

It's the people are in your life for a reason,

A season or a lifetime.

And you know,

Oftentimes we're trying to make people that are in our life for a reason or a season,

We try to make them into a lifetime and it's just not,

It's,

It's not going to work.

You know,

They're there to teach us something,

Maybe how to set boundaries.

So we're supposed to be setting a boundary and getting them the heck out of our lives,

You know,

And instead we're just trying to keep them.

Oh,

And I'm a nice person.

So I don't want to be rude.

So I'll let them crap all over me for another eight years.

Like that,

That's not being a good person.

That's being a doormat.

So you know,

So if there's people that are toxic,

Let them find themselves out of your life and pay attention to your tribe,

Pay attention to who you have around you because it certainly does affect your life.

So I think that's going to do it.

Thanks for listening and we will talk to you soon.

Really useful ideas... Love the concept of tribe... 💜x

Yeah. When you started singing hold on loosely, I knew I was in the right place. I, too, find myself singing or even humming that song when in situations I want to cling. Great episode.

Good stuff. Well said.
The parable of the sower refers to Gods word being the seed, and our hearts being the soil.
Your other use of soil in analogy works very well.

Do you recommend teepee's for our tribe? Haha

Great podcast, as always! It is important to surround yourself with those who lift you up, esp during trying times. I have felt it difficult when close family members are toxic and working on maintaining those boundaries and tuning them out!

Thank you for this... I'm currently going through a bit of a "shift" or "evolution" in regards to my tribe... So there were many points that hit home for me. Appreciate your perspectives!

I just smiled almost the whole time: thank you for this joyous lightness...
And often had to think of “Non-attachment”!!!
Right at the beginning while you were talking about “the attitude” which tells people, “I won’t let you make me feel down again...(sorry it might not be the exact wording)”, I just recalled a funny game called “change the personal pronoun....whenever you go like, “I won’t let you make me feel insecure, inferior again!”, switch to “I” pronoun from “you” in the same sentence and go, “I won’t let ME make me feel insecure again!”...Change of perspective means a huge emotional difference 💗🙏🏼
In terms of “choosing your tribe”...thank you for the joy and wisdom! Really appreciated...
In my case, “radical honesty with Myself (not only with other people, this’s the outcome I guess) and being truthful to ‘the calling’ in my life” played a determining role in the interaction with people...it all started with “radical honesty and acceptance”! after that point: I noticed it’s the path that counts, in which I’m in service of: “Love”
Congratulations on your 100. Episode, Dave, Ben and Glen 🙏🏼 You’re definitely doing a great job!
Thank you for the laughs, smilesss and wise words 💗🙏🏼

Good points, thanks
