Hello. Hi. Oh my goodness.  Okay. Back in the saddle. Let me just check my, oh good. Guess my audio is working. Hi. Nice to see you. Today is in the United States, known as Black Friday. It's the day after Thanksgiving or the day after that turkey day. And so I am, as I mentioned before, I am, I wanted to come on to do some thank you cards. I was sitting and writing out thank you cards for the people who had donated, contributed, given money to help support me during the last two months while I was making my recovery in New England and then my journey back here to Minnesota where I'm at right now. I'm in Minnesota as you can see. And so I wanted to do something to say thank you to all of you who have supported me and, and especially, so, so I traditionally like a traditional person thinking, I'm like, Oh, I'll get thank you cards. So I bought gratitude cards that say with gratitude. And I thought, Oh, send these to people.  I couldn't like to try to be organized to do that. It was a good thought, but it just didn't. I just couldn't execute that, you know, so I thought there's a better way for me to do thank yous, and that is using card decks like psychic reading card decks, you know how you see that all the time with people. All sorts of people are using card decks, which are great tools, by the way, intuitively, and also just for your positive attitude. Okay, there's affirmation cards. There's so many decks that I will have in the link to this video that I recommend Denise Lynn cards, which I have here on my counter and I'll grab those. These are Kyle Gray cards. There's a lot of resources you can use that aren't just tarot decks and tarot can be kind of intimidating because it's a whole lineage and you have to kind of understand it and no, I don't use like traditional tarot decks or anything like that, because I believe that intuition and spiritual connection and connection to your spirit and guidance from your inner wisdom has to be easy, or you're not going to do it, and it has to be applicable to your daily life. It's not about escapism. It's not about distraction. It's about application, right? So we're going to do some cards to say thank you to everybody who contributed. I had some very generous, like, to the point where I was like, oh my God, who would give somebody that you don't even know $500 or $1,000 or $200 or, you know, or 20 bucks or 10 bucks? Like, who would like do that? And I'm like, well, I would do that if I had the means, I would do that. And so, and then it just kept, it kept, it kept me feeling like, oh my God, like, I felt like what I do matters, you know, and not that I didn't feel like that before, but it just really made me feel like a human being to you. And not just like an entertainer or somebody that you can just pump for information or, you know what I mean? And I've, let me be clear, I've had relationships with people and friends and things that I've had to end friendships, because people just kind of, you know, try to mine you for information all the time, and it's just not a balanced scenario.  And so, I just was like, oh my God, like when it really mattered, people showed up for me and I appreciate that because it helped pay for so many unexpected expenses. Now, I'm just talking about my travel and my hotel costs and my rental car costs and all that. So thank God, thank you for helping with that. I'm not talking about the health care costs. Haven't gotten those yet. I think we got one bill and it was like 250,000 or something like that. But that was before medical insurance went through. So, luckily, for me, I am a privileged person that has medical insurance and not everybody has that. So I know that. So I'm not going to complain. I'm not going to stress about it. Just wait. It's the cost of being alive, I guess, for me. So let's do some cards to say thank you. Originally, I was going to be, I'm not so organized, you guys, right now.  And there's some things that I just don't remember, like saying or doing or whatever. So if I've had conversations with you and I say, like, I'm like, what? I said that. Especially early after like the first three weeks after the surgery, I might have said weird stuff or stuff that I maybe didn't mean or maybe unfiltered. I don't know. Hopefully I didn't. Or maybe I didn't make sense. That's normal because they call it pump head because when you're on bypass too long. It deprives your brain of the regular circulation and all that that it normally has on its own from the body and just doesn't have that activity. So it creates gaps and stuff. And so it's just weird and it just lingers for a while. And hopefully for me, hopefully it'll come back. It's already started to come back or started to click in. And so that's helped.  And so it's just a thing. But so I tried to write down everybody's initial, the first initial for everybody that donated or contributed. So I can. And I was originally thinking I would just do everybody, like do groups and stuff. And I'm like, that is too much work for me right now. So I just, I just don't know if I have the stamina to do it. So I'm just going to do a big thank you cards for everybody. But I'm going to list all the initials for everybody so you can at least feel your energy vibe for my thank you. And I'm looking at the chat window right now. I also want to make mention that I did have to cancel in October inspiring psychic experience group. I do a host groups, like a kind of a gallery reading group. It's not for afterlife celebrity channeling it's for personal psychic readings. And I do a little channel like message and then we have a conversation and I people ask questions and then I, and I tap in and stuff like that. So, and it's not usually a medium ship that I do and those either it's just really for like insights psychic guidance okay guidance and insight. And so I had to cancel one for October obviously for obvious reasons I was like in the ICU and so that I am rescheduling. So if you were in that group you'll get a notice. I'm rescheduling it for December 19th, December 19th right before the winter solstice. I think that's a great time for us to reconvene. So we're going to do that small group. There is room for other people if you want to join you can register for that and that will be linked to this video. Once it is live once it is posted after after the live stream is done so you can go back in and you can register for that if you want to. And again that's a group psychic group experience you're not guaranteed a reading or a private reading or anything it's just part of the connection. It's usually about 90 minutes long it depends on how what my stamina is like I think by then I should be pretty damn good let me just say but I also know what to do to get my energy up up up up up up up. And so I'm obviously limiting my psychic readings I haven't started working again as a coach either. So I'll be doing that I think in December here in the next week or two. But I really have to limit my sessions with people probably one a day is what I'll be able to do so if you're a current client and we have to rebook from November or October. And we'll be doing that here then for December for you OK. So and then as far as new clients go if you're a current client I will book for you with you for December again very long you know very one that one a day kind of thing. And then in January same thing if you're a current client you can get in with me in January if you're not a current client. You haven't had session with me in the last I don't know five or six months then and you want to get on my schedule for the new year then you can get on a waitlist. And I will be accepting clients for February March and April. So planning ahead for that. So that's come in as well if you want that. OK. So let me say hello to my little chat friends. And then I'm going to start my readings with you. Hey Anna. Hi 18 muses I can't remember your name. Your legit regular name sorry Nancy nice to see you Elizabeth nice to see you as well. Hello everyone those of us who are not shopping right now yeah I'm just not you guys not into it I'm just not into it. What's the point of that kind of. OK. So I feel anyway this year I'm like I'm just happy to have a body and be alive people. I don't need to spend money. Although I should give you guys tips on gifts. Because being a person that has been very homebound and usually super active and doing things and not being able to do things. There have been some really sweet gifts people have given to me and sent me that I'm like oh my God these are amazing for people who are stuck at home. If anybody all ages could be a college kid just want to be cozy college kid or a grandma in the nursing home or the care facility or somebody that's recovering from something. You know or just somebody that just likes the cozy feel good vibe when it gets cold outside they just want to cozy up and watch a movie like that kind of thing like I got some really great gifts that I got. Plus I bought some things for myself as soon as I landed in Maine. She knows as soon as I landed in Maine because I had my surgery in Massachusetts and I went to Maine to recover and it sounds like far away but it's not as like two hours. And I ordered some stuff for myself that are creature comforts for me that I think would be great great gifts for people. Speaking of that I have some of my merchandise my ho ho ho mugs and t-shirts sweatshirts whatever and also my Mary feminist merchandise also linked below as well. Those are nice. Oh yeah no kidding right hi Sherry nice to see you. Thank you. Thank you for the well wishes you guys. Yeah I know I'm aware of the date yep but I'm not doing that today. It's too hard to try to open up and channel in front of other people or large masses of people like on the internet because you literally can get anybody anybody can pop in here right now and watch me. And it feels like that means like right now because my healing and my body is so so so sacred and my cocooning is so sacred. I don't want to open myself up to that vulnerability of random people that don't care about me and are toying with psychicness and who think they're so you know hip with the medium ship vibe and they're really not. They their energy is funky and I don't need it in my space so if I open up and channel some celebrity you get a lot of people that are just playing and don't understand the the true authenticity to which we here on above live channel work and operate and and communicate and connect and so it's just too. It's too squishy right now and especially with the things in the state of the world and the things going on in the world exterior it just like as empaths were not as strong or short up in our in our own. Beautiful sacred soccer balls of light and so there's some things that I'm going to be hopefully helping to teach you and share with you in the new year about how to shore up our energies not because we're afraid but because we're so. empowered with light inside of us that we can hold our space and still communicate and connect and care about the world and watch things on on media that are appropriate and then balance and step away when it's too much and connect with earth and then come back in we want to have dialogue and conversations or make an impact on the community or the world at large we can balance these things and there's healthy ways to do that right now. My energy is cocooned and a healing state so I'm not going to channel even somebody that I know and trust like a Freddie I'm not going to do that. I might do it in a small group of people at some point I might offer that at a small group but I'm not going to do it and a large group right now there's no way. You could not I don't want to say you could not pay me enough but I would not. I mean for what purpose for some random people giving me a like who not worth it no no no no. Random people know not worth it so I know you guys can appreciate that. Hey, college student girl future healer helper nice to see you.  I know that she is out shopping. I wonder what she is shopping maybe she got some deal or something. Oh my gosh, maybe she got a deal. Anyway. Okay, so let's do thank you. Let's do thank you.  So this energy I'm calling in to do a psychic reading. We're going to bring in the energy of a group setting. And for all of you who are watching, you're welcome to be part of the energy around the perimeter. Okay, Archangel Michael's legions of light angels creating a beautiful safe and sacred space with a perimeter for those who choose to watch, but not to interfere, interject or distract from the core of the energy of the group who are present. Absolutely. So DR. Thank you for the car. Because you're the one that you literally in one fell swoop paid for my vehicle that got me from the hospital with my sister to main. So thank you. Passion Pixie. Thank you so much. You also assisted with the hotel and with the car, the secondary time. So I appreciate you so much and thank you for the awesome fuzzy socks and the What do you call them see I can't this is where my brain is going to pop up you'll see the socks that are tight. Thank you for circulation. She bought me a pack of fun socks that are good for circulation. So that when I was in the car doing the cross country trip that I had something like that to help compression socks. There we go like nurses and stuff or but they have fun ones you guys now so those are great. Thank you for the car. Thank you to help with the hotel. One of the hotel rooms a there's going to be lots of a is just so you guys know this is one of the a's then TS L in Florida L with Lulu. Another L thank you for touring and E and a another L a D and an M from Iowa. A T cousin a J cousin a C. Who's my bro. Thank you very much an N. And a from to Tennessee to Tennessee, a P. And I wrote. I can't read what I wrote. Oh, I put wise woman crone. Thank you. Another a with an A at the end and R another a with an A at the end nurse in California and H and the P and another M and I'm sure there are others as well. I love you guys and I appreciate you. I also have like I mentioned other clients like he who said hey don't worry about it. It's okay. E and L specifically we're like just keep the money will just move ahead when you're ready. So I'm like, thank you. Thank you for that. I appreciate you guys. So you guys are all in this group here that we're calling in so we can do some energy of gratitude. This is all about gratitude. So I want to be able to connect to some places in your lives where you could use that energy of abundance the amplification of the good whether you're watching this or you're part of that group I got three cards right away. I'm going to ask to start with I'm using the Kyle Gray. Deck the angel deck from Kyle Gray. So we're going to start with the first card which is earth and ground. So what that tells me you guys is that what we need to do right now in this energy space is ground ourselves because it feels like there's some There's definitely static in this field you guys I'm going to tell you that I feel it a lot now I am so like I was sensitive before all this happened.  And I swear a lot and I don't even apologize anymore so it's just the way it is. I don't have that filter it just must have went away when they put that to know my throat you know that's what happens when you get intubated you just start swearing. I don't know but I'm just going to say that. But there's a lot of static in the field nowadays probably because there's so much in the world going on. There's so much feeling and there's so much like this energy of like suffering and the commonality of this like sadness and grief and misery and loss and fear of the unknown and the lack of stability and and this kind of shocking kind of thing that happens and things just get more and more And it's shocking and shocking and and how do we come to terms with that we don't right because it doesn't make sense things don't make sense they're not supposed to make sense they're supposed to be like what to give us that opportunity for question to come into our alignment. So earth and ground the most important thing right now is to connect to the earth where you're at in your life because that's when you make an impact. Where are you in your life right here right now. So when I had my recent experience I the thing is this is such a cool thing and I'm so grateful for this I knew that the people that I love know I love them.  Okay they know how much I love them. Okay they just they know they know. And so in this situation I was in I didn't feel like oh my God. I didn't tell them I didn't do this I didn't I didn't have any of those feelings at all. And so what I would like for you is to really understand that when you connect this earth and ground energy isn't just a spiritual thing it's a human thing it's us giving ourselves permission to be present and by being present we acknowledge our life right now it might not be what you want. Okay you really think I want it to be like this right now. No. Okay I can like my activity level isn't what I want. I'm not chilling with my homies like I want like it's just it's hard I can't do the stuff I want to do right now. But I get to be here. I get to be present. Okay I get to be connected to the time that is now so that I can do what I need to do that I can do what can I do. Stop focusing on what you can't do you can't help the people in Israel necessarily like directly except for by being the most beautiful loving version of yourself and amplifying the energy of love connected to the earth on yourself for yourself right. And then when there comes time and the opportunity to help and be in service you can do that in lots of different ways. But even if you contribute or you donate or you get active. It's still not going to take the place of you being the version of yourself of the love in the world because part of why we're so connected to the sadness and the grief and the misery in the world is because of the sadness and the grief and the misery inside of you. So if you connect with the love and the compassion, and then you you lead with that into the world into your world into your family into your job into your community. That's going to make such a difference energetically the earth and ground energy of the grid on the earth grid and the earthly plane. You affect because you are energy.  It's like that that old that phrase bloom where you're planted legit. This is true. And this is very yellow, which I'm going to tell you that the yellow energy surrounded my rib cage like I was telling one of my psychic friends I said. I just got a chill for a second. I'm just getting a little too hyper. I was telling one of my psychic friends about how I can see my rib cage and it looked like a skeleton like a Halloween skeleton which that was right out that was right after my surgery like two weeks right and it looked like a Halloween skeleton and all the bones in my rib cage and my collar bones and stuff for just yellow archangel Gabriel yellow solar plexus spirit chakra yellow and I'm like that's what this reminds me of this earth and ground. It's the soul. It's our soul to spirit is holding us. Don't forget that. Don't forget that. All right, next card is oh compassion. Here we go. I love it when these fit together. Let me just pop over here quick and open up the I'm going to open up the curtain so we can have some And maybe I'll heat up my tea guys okay with that let's go ahead and heat up your tea if you want to I've got tea and coffee by the way that's I got like three cups here. That's how it works these days. Because I forget. Okay, compassion. Just a minute. Let me heat up my, heat up my tea. I'm drinking green Jasmine. Green Jasmine tea that's what we got here green Jasmine tea green Jasmine tea and we've got compassion and this is a lot of green energy now the green energy is connected to what to what to what your heart chakra. So that's perfect that's a nice match isn't it with the yellow. So earth and ground and compassion see and I didn't I just talk about that compassion. I did see how psychic I am. Thank God I don't need to have like my analytical logical brain to be psychic. Thank God. Really legit. So good. Okay. Oh, this one's good. Oh, this is a good card for all of my wonderful generous people out there. Thank you so much for your love and support. Let me go grab my tea. Oh, I also want to say thank you for the cards I got a couple of different cards here. In the back there was a common theme there were butterflies. That's like a prd vibe. Thank you to my Prince friends and fam appreciate you guys. And I also got a beautiful gift box with healthy fruit in it from somebody from my husband's work which was great I appreciate that with cheese and stuff too and that was nice for yesterday. And what else did I get? Oh, I got a journal a beautiful little journal is perfect little pocket sized journal which you guys know I love journals actually got two journals I got another one too I got a like a devotional kind of journal thing too. All right, so just a minute here. Let me go grab my cup. La mug. Berry tea too. I have cranberry tea, but I didn't make it because it's so so red. Although I have a red shirt on it probably be fine. Do you guys like my shirt? I got it at Target. It's a Target shirt. When I was driving from Maine to Minnesota. It says candy. Oh yeah candy candy canes candy corn sugar. It's from Elf the movie Elf it's and it's life wait so it's pretty nice, because right now I can't like, I can't have anything too heavy and nothing scratchy because it's still my, my incision kind of itches, you know. And so I'm like, which is a good thing I guess it's healing right. And so and then I got these really great baggy super great baggy sweatpants that were like 22 bucks or something so cheap and they're so big, and I love them. Like that's like the style I guess and I was like, I don't know. And then I was like, when you're like sitting in the car driving across country and then you're like, Yeah, that looks great. I want those. Yeah, anything loungy. That was, yes. Yeah, that was good. Okay, let's get the last card here of this first bout. Hi, Rebel. Nice to see you. Thanks for being here. Thank you. I appreciate, I appreciate you. Thank you for being here. Mm hmm. Okay. So, oh, this one's interesting. Okay, there's a little spiral going on here. And it kind of feels like I'm not sure what I want. I'm not sure I'm trying to make a decision. I don't really know I'm going back and forth is kind of the vibe I'm getting you guys. So, maybe that's where you're at. Maybe you're like, I don't know. I want to make a decision or I want to make a change. Maybe it's not a decision. Maybe it's not a decision so much. Maybe it's about making a change. Because we are nearing the end of a year and when we near the end of the year, we get this opportunity to really crack off the old dead branches and let them go and burn them up. Let them go and make them kindle in. And every year, we have that opportunity during the end of the year, but we also have that opportunity at the end of a month. And so we're nearing that as well. And we also have that opportunity for clearing our release and letting go of old patterns and cycles or starting to let loose of them, just softening them bit by bit when we have a full moon. And that is coming up on Monday. So there's a lot of energy that supports a change. So if you're in a place where you're in a change state or you're trying to create change or you're in a transition, even if you don't want to be. Because I'm really, there's a really strong vibe in here, you guys, about not wanting to be feeling forced into a situation or circumstance, not wanting to be where you're at right now, just feeling really kind of defeated about that. Now, I can relate to that. Okay, I didn't ask for any of this. But what it's given me is an opportunity for a reset to recalibrate to realign to review what my actual priorities are my perspective on life. And I'm still working through that because of the trauma, the recent trauma I had, right, because when you have that near death experience when you know you're in between the worlds and it's there's all this stuff that happens and there's these things and it's confusing and it's just there's a lot. It's hard to then jump right into oh my gosh I'm so grateful to be alive everything's great now it's not everything's great now it's confusing there's confusion. And so to you might be in a state in your life very realistically where you're like heading into the holiday season.  And now you can't work and now it's you can't even barely pay the bills let alone by the kids Christmas presents or the cost of living and the cost of things is really high and so you can't do the same old fancy dinner you used to do and it was just a little thing that you always look forward to and you can't do it. I mean, there's all these things that feel like we're constantly falling short right now. And energetically you might feel like you get into that state and even if you realign and you're like I'm good and I'm uplifted for a while.  And so I guess what I would introduce for you is to understand that there's a balance. There is a gentle back and forth and let it be gentle let it be like a rocky. Let your mood, let your your attitude or your energy not be pulled it's not like a tug of war not the tug of war, but recognize that things are just swaying like you're on a boat and it's just gently kind of moving with the waves.  And actually that is a trauma informed care technique rhythmic repetitive movement like that like rocking or that motion actually helps to calm your nervous system and helps that sympathetic nervous system to calm down. So it is a real technique you can use. So what we've got is we've got this image of this swirl energy that kind of goes back and forth and back and forth and what is it you guys it's gold. It's that golden energy again Archangel Gabriel connection communication relationship helps us to know that we are supported we are held we are loved that there is a grand plan or a sacred plan.  That's not what it is it says sacred plan it says sacred plan because everything when you are in alignment when you are showing up for life when you are centered when you are connected to the earth. When you are in an energetic of compassion and you're trying to love yourself you're trying to be kind to yourself trying to soften the edges of that critical energy that's in your mind.  Or how did you not do this or you know especially if you're a parent you do that a lot to yourself.  And then you have a pattern you can just be really critical and so it's natural to have that but let us acknowledge that we have this beautiful golden light energy that is naturally available to you and let it move. It's almost like a little bit of a serpentine energy or a infinity sign kind of coming through. And it's offering this gentle sway this calming energy in that solar plexus to your spirit and it's really soothing to you and supportive of you during this transition time because it is a transition time. And and and you might be on that cusp of change or you might be just out of a change or you might have just got a whammy like job loss. And let's be clear your change or your transition could be great you could have just bought a house how exciting or you could just be like one of my friends who's having a grand baby. She's having a little baby girl grand baby and she's so excited. You know like that it could be something good. But regardless of whether it's good or something that we perceive as good or something that we perceive as a hardship or suffering energy. It's all energy and it pulls us. You know and and so instead of pulling like a tug of war let's do a sway sway to the music sway to sway breathe with me as we do this. Sway calming that empathic heart and just sway move gently with life with this change state. We are always changing our bodies are changing. There's always hope that we can create in a different way with a different rhythm. We can change a pattern or adjust our course at any time at any time anytime. There's a lot of hope here everyone do you feel that as we breathe in and exhale out this is a sacred plan. It's sacred and the plan is you have support and the plan is you live. That's the plan are you sticking to the plan. What it looks like is totally up for grabs sometimes. That's where the transition comes. That's where the change comes. It looks different and you might have in your mind this this idea of what you thought life was going to be and look like. It doesn't look like that I did for sure I did I thought my life was going to be a certain way and it's just not right now I'm in this place where I'm like oh my God what am I going to do. Oh my God what am I going to do. Oh my God it's too late to buy life insurance now.  So, how do we find balance how do we realign ourselves how do we get back into a place where we feel strong enough to engage with life and know that it's not about winning or losing or just surviving. It's not about that it's about living. What does that look like and to me like this year it's really about the simplicity of things and the beauty. And not I don't I just all of a sudden right now I really hope it lasts but I really just don't care about others opinions or potential views or what they might think of me or my business or my work or whatever I'm just like. That didn't matter when I was hooked up to machines. What mattered was the people who I love and my my dear dear friends and the people that came out and drove to support me and to send me emails to send me messages of well wishes to send me comments like you all have done.  Those are the people that matter. It's like Brene Brown says like people are in the right to hear your story. And when you're on social media and it's your business and it's the way that I build my business and my and my psychic coaching work that I do I do psychic coaching work right. You don't just get one part of me you get the whole of me. And so I mean I'm lucky that I can do a lot of different things I have a lot of different skill sets and I intend to use them more fully. And not the way people want necessarily want me to or how I can make the most money or you know all this like I mean I've had so much advice and business advice over the years and I'm just like. I'm so glad I didn't take it. Because right now I'd be in a situation where I'd be like oh my gosh I have to break everything and start over you know I don't. Because I've always been in integrity with myself and what feels good inside of my heart and inside of my soul you know. And now I intend to make a living a very good living at it. I have to like what other choice do I have it's not like I can go work at Target right now I can't even go back to corporate right now my brain is just not. I don't have that capacity to get recertified and things and I just I just don't have it so what do I do I can I can be psychic I can be a coach. That's easy. I don't need my I don't need my logical brain. Sounds so funny but it's true. So anyway, it really means a lot to me the love and support and so so thank you very very much I'm going to grab one of the Denise Lynn cards the purple ones for my PRD friends who. Loved and supported me I know that they met and they had some conversations about how they can support me. When I was in my. Early stages of the healing process and I know that they were. Supporting each other and so I'm very. I love that it created community I love that. My. Tra trauma. Community. Hey we're going to use the purple cards these are. The sacred traveler deck these are beautiful and they're great. Um texture you know like they're thick they're really good. Like they feel good so these are sacred traveler by Denise Lynn lin and these are in the link they will be in the link when the it goes live this video goes live. And these are great anybody can use these anybody you can give these to a friend and say hey these are really positive cards try these. Especially because now like being psychic is like this cool thing it's kind of trendy it's like yoga like also and everybody does it right. Which isn't a bad thing I think it's a good thing but it's like. Careful who you're paying to give you advice though just be careful make sure that they actually legit are like clairvoyant or clear audience or. Like they have the you know the skills.  All right so here we go for all I love this one this one reminds me at Disney World. You guys I need to go to Disney next year don't you think I should have a I should have a retreat there we should all meet there and have a big fun party. Wouldn't that be cool I wonder if people will go if I did that. Have a party at Disney just show up and come to the party and then go to the parks one day together or something.  Wouldn't that be fun but you wouldn't have to you could just come to the party. All right reaching your destination your light is shining bright. This is why it looks like Disney to me you see that you see that beautiful castle right there look at the castle. And see those little bubbles you guys those are bubbles of thought of dreams of energy of protection you're safe while you're dreaming. And look at that beautiful butterfly that's a little nod to my priorities because I know you to the two of you that sent me cards sent me intentionally sent me cards with butterflies on it. So beautiful butterfly energy just gorgeous look at that dreamy dreams you guys reaching your destination and your light is shining brightly. It's interesting because the reaching your destination that's interesting because maybe part of this card message is. We are all we've all reached our destination it's life we're living we're alive. You're here it's about being present there's no destination there's just the present. Is that really deep. Yeah it kind of is but it's true it's true there's just the present. All right so that was that Denise Lindek. We got the second one that came from that which is answering the call the time is now. Notice the colors on this one yellow and green the yellow again a nod to that solar plexus beautiful spirit energy of your soul when I say solar plexus that's the shocker that's in your belly. That's where your intuition is that beautiful little voice of God if that's what you connect to our creator source within New York inner wisdom. See that look at that beautiful this also is a nod everyone to a transition do you see how she's opening the door and she's going to step through. Pass that stone wall out into the world and it's very green there lots of lush abundant energy there that green is also that heart following your heart. Following your heart to what is true and the time is now because the only time there is is now. So what is calling to you. What is calling to you. Is there something inside your heart that is calling to you maybe should write that down in your journal. All right again that's that Denise Linds sacred travel deck and here is the last card for today and joy and delight open your heart to joy. Did we just talk about the heart haven't we been talking about the heart. Oh yes we have. Oh hello and so many different human and metaphysical levels that heart the empathic energy of your nature look at that sweet pure child. That sweet gentle simple perspective.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could not be so hard on ourselves and soften that those thoughts and then just be open to that guidance of pure divine at that crown chakra that beautiful golden yellow so lovely joy and delight. You know Abraham Hicks says let the universe. Surprise and delight me Esther said that in one of her channeling and I remember that that phrase. She was talking about I think the like traveling like an airport or something and that's why it sticks in my head because I've said that before I'm like okay so instead of being stressed out and anxious about this traveling thing.

Irma look at that New York skyline isn't it amazing to think that the Indians sold all of Manhattan for only $24 Isn't that silly they could have gotten a thousand dollars for the Empire State Building alone Well, that's what you can expect when you listen to my friend Irma Friendship Just a perfect plan ship when other friendships have been forgot There's Leverbrothers makers of swan the soap with the exclusive super cream blend presents Our friend swan with my friend Irma starring Mary Wilson is Irma and Kathy Lewis is Jane Is that make people say that New York is a great place to visit but not to live in Why because the temperature is hugging the century mark and the humidity is picketing your pores Irma and I are stretched out gasping for breath on our patio You see we like to think of our fire escape as a patio Jane Jane. Oh Don't talk sweetie. It's too hot Jane. What's the temperature of the human body 98 is normal What's the temperature on the fire escape? Let me see my goodness. It's 98. What are we complaining about everything is normal? Ordinarily I try to straighten Irma out, but it's too hot to argue in fact to forget the heat Irma and I are playing a game We're looking on the clothes lines around us and trying to guess what kind of people each line represents for instance, um Over there on mrs. Burton's line. There are two silk striped men's shirts and five pair of boys overalls Stories quite plain. Mr. Burton is a big man about town junior has to support the family Jane I've got one figured out. Yeah. Yes. Mrs. Adams has two and a half children She has how did you arrive at that? Oh, it's very simple Jane. There's five stockings on the line a Gold star for you Irma Peterson. I suppose because there are two sunbonnets hanging on mrs. Horowitz line She has two heads Well, she does keep to herself Jane isn't it warm? Yeah, it's just about the hottest day. I can remember. Let's go back into the house Maybe it's cooled off. All right, Jane No, it's just as hot in here. Well, I think I can bring the temperature down Jane Just give me time. Irma. What are you going to do with all those paper bags? I'm going to fill them all up with warm air and put them in the icebox and let them cool off Please honey, please for the next time we go out in the sun promise me you'll wear a hat Gosh, I wish there was some way we could cool off and Irma. Don't suggest that we put cold slaw on our heads That's ridiculous. What will we have for supper? Look, Jane if we really want to cool off, why don't we go to Coney Island and sit on the beach? Sit. Irma if we were ballet dancers, we couldn't find enough beach in that crowd to stand on one toe But Jane there's going to be a contest and a parade and the couple with the best personality gets a prize Yeah, but honey, it's such a trek to Coney Island. Well with Alan Richard it'd be so much fun Richard at Coney Island Honey, I don't want to make Richard seem snobbish, but the whole picture is out of focus That'd be like asking Mrs. Vanderbilt to write a column for the whole bow news Oh, but Jane, we have such fun at Coney Island. Al wins so many prizes like when they try to guess his weight Yeah, I know Irma and someday they're gonna find that brick in his back pocket and they'll let him have it But not for a prize. Hello Richard. Yes, of course. I'm warm How is it out there in your neck of the woods? It is.

Look chicken, I saw the way you were hugging that lifeguard when he was carrying you Well, I wasn't hugging him. I was practically unconscious in fact That's what the lab the lifeguard told me all the way in he kept saying where do you want me to take you unconscious? Just because you were thought you thought I was disappointing you for the personality contest didn't give you the right to carry on with some other guy Well, now you've got the right because I'm stepping out of the picture.

Forget the personality contest and go over to the shooting gallery if I want to clean up But Joe there's no money in knocking over clay pigeons. Oh, you don't mean clay pigeons the manager is loaded No Joe may be mistaken, but think managers are out of season. We'll enter the contest despite your advice. Goodbye noble friend Walk and the personality contest has just begun there go Al and Irma I must say that Irma looks adorable. She's arm in arm with Al and they're doing a funny little dance step I won't say it's not graceful. I'll only say that one look at it and Arthur Murray had burned down his studios Alice smiling broadly and strutting with his chest out He couldn't be any happier if he had a written guarantee that he wouldn't get a job for the next 20 years You know, I think she's gonna win I'm sure she is Richard Jane I've been looking all over for you. I tried to get here in time for the contest But I guess I'm too late Richard would what you have entered this contest with you any time Oh Richard imagine the two of us standing here in the Sun with the temperature a hundred and forty It's not a hundred and forty.  Look Al and Irma have won the contest. Oh, so they have Jane Jane look at this wonderful cup. I won. Oh, congratulations, honey. Thanks, but personally, I don't think it's fair Why not? Well Al won the contest with me and if I won a cup the least they could have done was give him the saucer I Amma putting a bathing cap on a cake of swan soap before she put it in the bathtub So I said Irma. What's the bathing cap for and Irma said I don't want my swan to get water in his ears You know very well that Irma isn't serious because she knows that the best place for swan soap is right in the dish pan Sure when it comes to washing dishes swans in a class by itself why even the way a cake of swan feels tells you It's a perfect dish washing soap Next time feel the cake with your fingertips feel how swan super cream blend makes it differ from other soaps It feels smoother then feel those mild swan suds in your dish pan They feel different to richer creamier and they protect your hands Yes, thanks to swan super cream blend your hands are left with a smooth soft young look And here's an added note lady those swan suds rinse away. So completely your dishes don't need wiping now That's a real time saver So remember if you want a soap that protect your hands a soap that'll get you out of the kitchen in a hurry You want the soap with the exclusive super cream to blend swan soap Contest is over but it's still too hot to breathe so when we got home.

This paper aims to investigate whether intervention characteristics and persuasive design affected adherence to a web-based intervention. The authors conducted a systematic review of studies into web-based health interventions, coding intervention characteristics, persuasive technology elements, and adherence for each intervention. They found that the typical web-based intervention is meant to be used once a week, includes interaction with the system and a counselor and peers on the web, and some persuasive technology elements. The authors also found that primary task support elements are most commonly employed, while dialogue support and social support are less commonly employed. They found significant differences in intended usage, setup, updates, frequency of interaction with the counselor, the system, and peers, duration, adherence, and the number of primary task support elements between interventions in different healthcare areas. The final regression model explained 55% of the variance in adherence, with increased interaction with the counselor, more frequent intended usage, more frequent updates, and more extensive employment of dialogue support significantly predicting better adherence. The results of this study can be used to make an informed decision about how to design a web-based intervention to which patients are more likely to adhere.

and this is Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii. I was the head coach for the Punahou Boys Varsity Tennis Team for 22 years, and we were fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships. This show is based on my books, Beyond the Lines and Beyond the Game, and it's about leadership, character, and creating a superior culture of excellence. My special guest today is the highly respected leader of Shamanad University. She is President Lynn Babington, and today we are going beyond college programs. Hey, President Lynn, welcome to Beyond the Lines. Thank you so much, Rusty. It's such a pleasure to be here. I've enjoyed your show and the folks you interview and learn lots about leadership every time, so it's a pleasure for me to be with you today. President Lynn, it's an honor for me to have you on the show today. You've been doing such great things leading Shamanad University, but can I first ask you if you can share about your background and then your journey before becoming President at Shamanad? Oh, I'd be happy to share that with you. I have a rather unusual background for a college president. I'm a nurse. I went to the University of Michigan and obtained a nursing degree. And from there, I cared for patients and critical care units in several places in the country. And eventually, I went back to school and I realized that what I really wanted to do was to be able to provide an environment for nurses to care for patients. So I earned an MBA and a Master's of Nursing Administration from the University of Washington and then moved on to running from a patient care services some major health care systems in San Francisco in Seattle and then in Boston. But always wherever I was, I always affiliated with a local university and I would teach health care economics and finance for many years to grad students and mentored graduate students. And at one point in my career, I was asked if I would come to a special project. So I took a leave of absence. I had formed a nonprofit organization for community health care settings in Boston. So I took this leave of absence and went to Northeastern University and did a special project and decided to sort of switch careers and go into academics as a faculty member, eventually a Dean of Nursing at Fairfield University, where I also was the Chief Academic Officer or the Provost. And then it was such a privilege for me to take on this role here in Hawaii as the President of Shamanide University of Fort La Lunga. President Lynn, we're so happy to have you here. It's just amazing hearing your journey up until this point. And can I ask you what lessons you learned as a nurse that really helps you as President of Shamanide? Well, I think as a nurse, you have to authentically care for people and be their advocate. And those particular skills are particularly advantageous for a leader anywhere to authentically care about the community. In my case, it's our students. They are first in everything we do. And advocate for our students, for our faculty and staff to be able to provide an environment where our students can learn the best. So I just think that there are so many synergies between being a nurse and being a college president. I can totally see that. And President Lynn, Shamanide University, you have such a great campus location with a beautiful view. Your faculty and students must absolutely love that, right? Well, they do absolutely love it. I will say one thing, though. It's not the beautiful campus they come here for. It really is our education. Our students from Hawaii, and that's where most of our students come from, and the Pacific Islands. Of course, they love our beautiful campus. And I must tell you, Rusty, the one thing they do complain about is the hills. And I always tell them, good exercise. You're not going to gain that extra weight in college if you're walking up and down the hills. So I feel no empathy, particularly, for people walking up and down the hills. But for our students from the mainland, they may come to Hawaii because of its beauty and, of course, the beaches. But they learn. They meet other folks here from Hawaii and from the Pacific Islands. And they make friendships. And they really learn about our culture and our history here in Hawaii. And it makes a difference in their entire lives. So we are so fortunate here to have such beauty. But it's really to set the stage for good learning in this Aina-based place that we live that's so important to us. You're so right about the hills. I mean, it's perfect exercise there, for sure. And President Lin, why are your undergraduate masters and doctoral programs gaining in popularity? Well, I think part of the reason is because we are a community-first institution, meaning it's important for us to partner with the community to be able to provide the programs that are needed. For example, when I first got here, formed a hui of health care professionals in hospitals, insurances, community health care settings that said, what do we need? And they talked about what we needed. Thus, we grew a program at the undergrad level in community and public health. And this was pre-COVID. And also our Doctor of Nursing Practice program. There's a primary care shortage of physicians and nurse practitioners and physician assistants here in Hawaii. And we are doing our part to educate family nurse practitioners and mental health nurse practitioners. So it's really looking at what the community needs and how do we have the expertise to be able to stand up a program that really meets workforce needs and provides a good work environment for our graduates to stay here in Hawaii and have good paying jobs. Now, I know so many people that got master's degrees, doctor degrees from shamanad, and they all told me how much they absolutely love the experience that they had at shamanad. And I want to ask you, President Lin, what are some of your top priorities as president? Well, I think my, you know, I'm a president of a wonderful university here and all of the universities in Hawaii, we're in the business of transforming lives through education. So here at shamanad, we are committed to providing access to a wide variety of people here in Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, some of whom may not have had the opportunity to go to college. That means we partner with our community colleges for some people starting at a community college and transferring is the right way to go. We have programs on all the islands with very easy transfer agreements and early college for a variety of schools, both the DOE schools and some private schools. So we're really looking towards providing affordable education and access. And I don't know if you recently heard about it, but we just launched the Hawaii Guarantee Program starting next fall for any students from Hawaii, we will match University of Hawaii Manoa's tuition for four years. We will also provide a pathway for those students to graduate in four years. So they'll be able to plan with their families the entire cost of their college education. We're very proud of that. Wow, that's so incredible. I love hearing that. And President Lin, some leaders, they seem out of touch or disconnected, but I think you're very successful in part because you know the vibe and the pulse of the university and you seem to be very accessible, right? Well, thank you, Rusty. It's very important for me to get to know our students, our faculty and our staff. When I first began here, I had to allay people's fears because I walk around all the time and I would walk into somebody's office and they go, oh my God, what are you doing here? And I'm like, I just wanna get to know you and what's important to you. Same with the students. I sit down often and talk to students over lunch or when they're taking a break about what concerns them? What are they worried about? How can we be helpful? And sometimes people just need someone to listen to them. That's the beauty of a campus like ours. It's a small community that really cares for each other and we're all in the business of education here. So, you know, most people think of faculty and advisors as being critically important to student success. And yes, they are, but all of our staff here, whether it's the person in the business office that you're paying your parking pass for or it's the athletic trainers and helping our student athletes, we all are very committed to our students' educational success here at Shulmanad. Now, President Lin, what do you see as some of the greatest things that the greatest leaders do? Well, for me, I think it's really important to be authentic in who you are, to be honest with people. And I am a strong opponent of team building, mentoring others and really helping others succeed. So, for me to feel like I've done my job is when I work with my administrative team, faculty and staff, and I see them accomplishing their goals, I see them being successful and I'm helping them to achieve that. I think that's one of the, the greatest thing a leader can be is to give others the opportunity to shine, provide them with the tools that they need to be successful. And that's what we try to do here at Shulmanad. Now, how would you describe your leadership style? I would say my leadership style is very supportive and hands-off. One of my, one of the things that the folks that report to me will say is I try to provide the environment and the tools and the resources they need to be successful. But when they come to me with a problem, they say, we better come with a solution because she always asks, well, what are your plans for addressing this problem? So I think that's, helping other people develop the confidence and also recognize that they can figure this out. And I'm here rooting for them as they figure out a problem they have or they move forward with developing new ideas and new programs. You know, you're so right about that because even for me, when I was a coach, I would have tell my players that, hey, when you come to me with a problem, also come to me with some solutions to that problem because I wanted them to be thinking what we deal with as leaders or coaches on our side, just not for them being one-sided, seeing things from their perspective. But President Lin, you guys also provide a lot of financial aid to your students, right? We do. About 95% of our students receive financial aid. You know, some of it's federal aid, programs they qualify for. We have lots of scholarships and a good portion of our operating budget goes towards providing student aid. As I indicated before, our goal really is to provide accessible education to a wide variety of people, particularly here in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. And so we're committed to what that takes to get folks there. And President Lin, I noticed that you guys are also receiving some really high rankings nationally. Can you tell me more about that? Well, we continue to work hard. You know, some of the rankings are, you know, US News and World Report, there's mixed whether or not that's a good way to rank schools. That being said, we've moved up in the rankings for the Western region here. One of the things we're very proud of is social mobility. That means that folks, students that come to us young students as 18 to 22 year olds, they are able to increase their earnings compared to their family's earnings, their ability to get well-paying jobs. We are committed to providing the skills so that our students leave here and can support themselves and their families in Hawaii. And we all know how important that is. We always get a high ranking for a beautiful place. Yes, this is a beautiful place. But also the friendliness of our campus and the inclusivity, that's critically important to who we are as the Marianist University. We believe in educating the whole person and we believe in accepting and supporting all different viewpoints in life.  And President Lynn, what are some of the important qualities you expect your graduates to possess? That's a good question. I think we are committed to providing our students with experiences and skills so that they're excellent communicators both in writing and in oral presentations. And we built that into the curriculum. Also, critical reasoning. People talk about critical thinking. That's fine. You can think through things, but you've got to reason your way to the next step. And experiential learning is critically important. It's built into our programs. That's why they're in the classroom. We have service learning programs. So you might be in an accounting class, learn accounting, but then you go help people fill out their tax returns. So you're getting that experience. And that's built in all our classes. Plus we guarantee internships that are related to a student's area of study for all of our students. So those experiences are critically important. And team-ready, people say to us that our students, because they've worked in internships, because they've had these experiences in the workplace while they're in school, they come to the workplace as new employees and they know how to work on a team with other people who view things from a different lens. And an example of that might, we have a core curriculum. All our students have a broad humanities background. And you might be in a philosophy class with a computer scientist, a data analyst, a nursing student, and an English major. And they're all sitting on a group working through a philosophical problem. And they learn to understand how people in those disciplines think differently. And that makes them a better team player when they go to the workplace. I like hearing that. I mean, yeah, I like when there's different perspectives and it really enhances the team like you said. And President Lynn, you have both of my books and I wanna ask you if you like the books and then what are some things that stood out to you in the books? Well, I think your books Rusty are an excellent, particularly the first one is an excellent introduction to what's important in leadership in a way that people can relate to. When you talk about people, obviously as a leader that's the most important thing are your people. And I talked about mentorship and developing people and teamwork, developing trust and loyalty. A leader earns that and they earn that through their authenticity and their support of their people. And then setting things up so people can succeed and that you can measure the success. It's nothing's better than for a team to work and know when they've succeeded. What does success look like? It doesn't always look like winning. It can mean a whole variety of things. So from that standpoint, I think that the book was very, very helpful. I actually have the opportunity to speak to people in all different forums. I'm speaking at the Wahini forum on women's leadership coming up in November. I talked to the Hogan entrepreneurs and your books are good examples of an approach to leadership that can be very helpful to them. Tonight, I'm going, we have a prison. We have a associate degree program in one of the men's prison here on Iowa, associate degree in business. And I've been asked to come talk about leadership and I'm gonna bring your books. I mean, it's critically important, particularly the first book we have some copies of it to distribute to the men, you know, they will leave prison and while they're developing some business skills, they need to be thinking about what it means to be a leader because they have a lot to offer as well. Ah, that's absolutely wonderful to hear. I love that you're going to be speaking at the prison and President Lin, tell me about Shamanad athletics and will you be adding any more sports teams this coming year? We will be. First of all, I think athletics is an important part of the college experience, not just for the student athletes who have the opportunity to, to merge their athletic goals with their academic goals, but for all students, it creates camaraderie for people to go cheer their team on. And also the student athletes, our student athletes work incredibly hard. Every year we rank at the very top in our division for academic achievement and we are proud of that. They are students first and athletes second and we merge that well. We are so pleased to be able to launch baseball in the fall. This year we have just finalized a coach contract and we'll be announcing that very soon. We have a coach for the baseball team and we'll begin recruiting for that. Again, this enables young men from Hawaii to stay in Hawaii and play baseball. Our teams in our league, both HPU and UH Hilo, are thrilled that we're launching baseball. That allows all of us to attract more teams to come for tournaments, et cetera, into Hawaii. Also, Beach Volleyball. Our volleyball team was ranked 25th pre-season this year. Our indoor volleyball team, we last week, we are four and O in our division and we also were a team of the week last year, a natural extension to provide the Beach Volleyball. Now, it's a little different. Obviously our coach is amazing and she will, her and her assistant coach will coach both teams. So we're really happy about the addition of both those teams. Wow, that's absolutely terrific to hear. And President Lin, you guys, the Maui Gym Invitational for basketball, I mean, it's absolutely amazing how many top teams in the country come to play in that every year and that's upcoming again, right? Yes, it's Thanksgiving week, the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, right before Thanksgiving. It is such a fun tournament and we haven't been able to because of COVID being Maui for a couple of years, everybody's thrilled to get back. It's such a nice community and the Civic Center there is a perfect opportunity for these Division I teams to come and play. And every few years, Shamanad beats one of those teams and that's a wonderful opportunity too. I'm a big basketball fan, so it's always thrilling for me to come and for our young men to have the opportunity to play against Division I team players and also just the camaraderie they build as a team while they're in Maui. Yeah, we're always cheering for the Silver Swords, President Lynn. And I know that you are a very active member in the community. Can you share what boards you're on as well? Yes, I'm a member of the Hawaii Business Roundtable. It's just an important group here in Hawaii and I particularly focused on the Educational Subcommittee and we work across all institutions and across sectors to try to stand up programs that will address workforce needs and to keep our students here in Hawaii. That's one of the groups. I'm on the board of Girl Scouts Hawaii, again, transforming girls' lives through education and we are building a STEM Center out in the North Shore which will have the opportunity, actually it's finished, the opportunity to provide STEM education internationally for girls. I'm on the St. Francis Health Care System Board, again, important for our caputa in our here on Honolulu and providing hospice care and home care and skilled nursing and independent assisted living. That's an important board. I'm also on the PAC Board which is Pacific and Asian Affairs Council and this provides high school students the opportunity to learn about a global world and have experiences in international travel, particularly in the Pacific region. So, I'm involved in some others but those are the boards that I'm on. They're wonderful groups. There's just an impressive array of nonprofits here in Hawaii that play an important role in our community. Well, I don't know how you do it all. It is very impressive what you do, President Lynn and can you share what are some of the challenges that you deal with as president? Well, I think in higher education today some general challenges is there's a declining birth rate. So, not as many young people coming up that are eligible age to even go to college. Secondly, here in Hawaii we have had unfortunately rather a decline in the number of students seeking higher education in any form. And we're working on that. We think it's important not just college education but work training, workforce development. These are all important for our economy and for our citizens here in Hawaii. And then of course we all face just the declining confidence in the value of the college education. And that's kind of nationwide. Some of it's political, some of it's not. Is college education important, critically important? Is it expensive? It is expensive. And we're dealing with this right now. All of the data ever since they started collecting it shows that those with the college education are happier in their lives. They have a much greater income throughout their life. They use less resources, public resources of any kind through their life. And they're bigger contributors to their community in terms of not just charitable giving but their opportunity to be involved in their community. So we believe strongly in a college education many ways of getting there. But those are some of the challenges today. Well, I completely agree with all of that there because it's so important to receive a college education.  I think the lesson that I've learned is to always look for the positive in your circumstance, in your environment, in your interactions with people, in your relationships. I do believe in being authentically honest. And sometimes that doesn't always work to your favor but I'll stand by that every single time. And caring about people. At the end of the day, we're all people and we have way more in common than not. And if we can focus on what we have in common we could approach and solve some of these very challenging problems that we have particularly in our country but across the world. I completely agree again. I always say positivity is a choice. And President Lin, what would you say was the best advice you've ever received? I think advice that I received early in my childhood from my parents but particularly my father was always to, he's a very positive, he was a very positive thinker to always look for the best in everything you do and work your very hardest to achieve whatever your possibility is. So he taught us to reach high but he taught us to think positive about our situations, about our environment, about our relationships. I like it. And President Lin, I wanna ask you one more question before we wrap up. What's a future goal that you'd like to accomplish at Shamanad University? I think continuing on the trajectory of people recognizing here in Hawaii that we are, we provide an excellent education that and the types of degrees that people can graduate and work here and stay here and raise their families in this beautiful environment. We wanna be a community partner.  We are a lifelong learning is the key to anybody's personal success and to our community success. So we have to provide education at the associate degree level in a prison, for example, as well as doctoral degree level as people transition and change. Young people today, they don't know what jobs are gonna be available five years from now. We teach people how to think, how to think about what they need to retool, to upskill, and those are the kinds of things we wanna be known for. Well, President Lin, I really think it's amazing your background in nursing and how it's really helped you as president. And I want more President Lin's in the world and I wanna thank you for really taking time to be on the show today. Thank you so much. It's been a privilege for me, Rusty. Thank you, President Lin.
