So it's the last day of Loon and I come home and look at what I see here. Nice chairs, huh? She keeps asking me if I want chairs and I'm like, I think you want chairs and she's like, yup, I sure do. Cause guess who's going to be out there reading books when I get home from work?  And they're comfortable too. All right, let's test it out. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, don't mind the door behind me. This was taken off the powder room cause we're gonna put the toilet back on tomorrow. Uh-oh. Don't mind that man behind you, disregard him. Don't worry, don't do the wizard. So where'd you get the chairs? Cause people are going to ask questions. They're back and beyond. Oh okay. They were on clearance. Yes, so that's nice. There's still some more there, so if you want more we'd go ahead and get some more.   And I'm like, well I only have one friend so I guess just get two. So anyway. I got work so that's fine. It's just fine, it's just fine. I'm allergic to the outdoors anyways. It's okay, it's fine. So how was your shopping excursion? It was lovely. See, see how nice and flat it is. It's like a little flatty. Yeah. Just a second. So you can store them in the garage if you want. You can put them outside and there you go.  All right, well let's look at the tag here. They are the Destination Summer Bronze Finish Folding Sling Chair Weather-Resistant Fabric. There you go. And I didn't pay that much. No? No. And you had to coupon. I did. Yeah. 20% off coupon. She's killing it with the deals, guys. I think they were $19.99 and then I had a 20% off coupon. Gotta save that cash, kids. Save that cash. Speaking of saving cash, I went to the Dollar Tree to get some organizational things for the move. And I'm gonna show you guys a haul in a few minutes. So mom was having fun today at Lowe's and Bed Bath and Beyond. Yes. And then... So when I was at Lowe's, I texted a picture to Emily and I said, hey, do you like this? And it's a little bit different than the plain white. Just got a little bit of decoration going on here too. Mm-hmm. One moment, I will tell you the brand. Oh yeah, we gotta find the brand because people ask. They're from Lowe's. They're from Lowe's. There you go. Brainer. Triple double and single plates, along with some other ones too. But the light plates had these lines, these cottage-y kind of lines. Yeah, it kind of reminds me of this wall. I mean, I know it's going the wrong way, but it reminds me of this wall. I needed some sealer for all of the baseboards. So let me show you. There are, you can see a whole bunch of nail holes. So I have to fill those, which is kind of like a day's project, but I will. And then also like the corners and stuff. The flooring guy showed me how to do it, but that's like not his job, you know what I'm saying? So anyway, I will do that, but he said to get two tubes of that cocking, and then that should be good to go.  And I had bought like a really chintzy, I think I showed this to you guys, like a really, really bad steamer from, was it Walmart? Yeah, it was like the mainstays one from Walmart. P.S. Don't buy it, it's junk. So I looked at some reviews on the internet and found this one.  Well, that's heat up first. Yeah. But the other one was like. So I got this one, it's from Joy. It's the, I don't know, she's the, I don't know, I'll link it, I'll link it below Amazon where I got it. So my little steamer deluxe, but this had the best reviews on the internet and it was like 49.99, but the other one I got was like what, 15 bucks or 20 bucks or something? The problem with the other one is that when it got hot it spit water out about a foot. Yeah, cause mom was trying to, you know, steam the draperies and stuff. She's like, ah, it's so gross. Faying water all over you. Right, it was good for like a minute and then it would just stop. Okay. Okay, so all of a sudden it just started like, going like, oh my gosh, can you guys see the steam? Okay, so mom's gonna try it. Real life review here. Does it work so much better? Oh my gosh, look at that, yeah. Look at that, no more creases, baby. The creases are disappearing, look at that. Yay. You're supposed to kind of pull it sort of top, but it's hard when they're... Hard to do that when it's draperies hanging from the... Right, but way better than it was. But it is indeed getting rid of the creases. Right, well it's just, you know, these are packaged for so long and it just creates those big creases. Yeah, that looks really good. Okay, so I went to Dollar Tree and got these chopping mats because I just watched do it on the dimes or do it on a dimes video about lining your fridge with these. So I got quite a few of them. I think I got like four packages and there's two per pack and they're just a dollar and this is a good easy way to line your fridge shelves. So, you know, you don't have to use like the contact paper and they get grubby and you can literally just wipe these suckers off. So I'm blaming do it on the dime for my little haul. I'm about to show you guys. So here's all the shenanigans that I got at the dollar store. So I got some sticky notes for lists because I don't have any sticky notes here even though I have a ton of them. I just don't know where they are. Also I got these three cups. I'm actually gonna bring these to work and then I got some spoons and forks. I'm gonna bring those to work as well. I got this like baby bottle brush because I thought this would be good for like smaller glass containers like this. Also got this at the dollar tree today. So I thought this would be nice and it was white. So, you know, I like it. Also got this doorstop for tomorrow that that would be kind of good to have. And then these are single use super glues.  I also got a Mr. Clean Eraser since all of my stuff is now white for the most part. So I figured I needed one of those. This is a little hardware storage case. I just thought this was a really cool unique idea for, you know, your extra like little nuts and bolts and screws and stuff. I got this adhesive label holder for like it's for binders, but I figured I would put it on some of the organizational things that I showed. I think in one of my most recent hauls from like another dollar store, I think it was five below. Anything that's like essentially plastic or smooth I can put a label on there. And then, you know, I can put a label inside of there, which I thought was kind of a neat concept. Fly swatters because the flooring guy had the door open for quite a while yesterday and there was a lot of flies in here. I got some cling wrap. And then also I got a couple of these little shelf liners. So I thought that would be good for moving day. I also got a few of these. They didn't have any white ones. So I got some random colors. And I figured what I would do with these is like label them with some stickers and do like home improvements or I don't know, like things I want to keep receipts in like for taxes or just to have on hand. I figured that would be kind of a good thing. Okay, let's see if this will work. Oh, I'm so short. Okay, hold on, we're gonna try something else. Oh yeah, that's better. Okay, hi.  I just went to my PO box and I got some stuff from you guys. So I figured I would open it on camera because it's the last day of loan. Why not? Ooh, this has glitter on it. I can feel it with my finger. All right, so this is from Wendy. And it says, as you settle into your new home, when the curtains are up, the rugs are down and all the moving is through, hope you find that happiness that has moved right in with you, congratulations. Your friend on YouTube, Wendy. Thanks, Wendy. I'm excited about this. I'll have to put it on my fridge. All right, and I got a couple of packages. So, it says pull to open. Pull it open. Oh, this is so sweet and it makes me so sad. Oh, you guys will understand in a minute. All right, so it's a gal named Katie and it says, hi Emily, I hope you don't mind that I made these for you and Jodi. And I remember in one of your videos, you said you were running low. I also included a manatee appreciation day sticker because again, I watch your videos. LOL, have a wonderful day. That's so sweet. So, she sent this really cute manatee appreciation day which by the way is like, so my brother because he like loves manatees. Then she sent two stickers. I don't think she has a sticker set but I think she just made these. But look, there's two sticker sheets of dragon house. This makes me sad, but also really happy. So thank you, Katie, I really appreciate it. But oh, they're closing and it makes my heart sad and my stomach also very sad. So, all right, well, maybe I'll come up with a way to use them, I don't know but I appreciate it and thank you so much for this. And don't worry about my address being shown on this this is my public mailbox. So, you guys can send me things if you really want to. If you don't have, please don't feel like you have to. It's on the bottom of all of my videos. So like all my video descriptions, I have my public mailbox if you wanna send me something. Companies send me some stuff once in a while and then I sometimes review it and sometimes I don't. All right, so this is from a gal named Vanessa. It says, hi, Emily. I am a YouTube subscriber. I love watching your videos, especially your planning slash budgeting videos. You've mentioned you are more of a functional planner rather than a decorative planner so I was looking for something I could send you. I'm not affiliated with any company. You don't have to show this on social media if you don't want to. I just like to give to people I enjoy. Keep doing what you do best wishes. Vanessa, PS, I love when you say, I'm gonna go ahead and use this because why not? And you know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's pretty much me. Thanks, Vanessa. So these are from Pages and Memories. I will link them below if I can find them. I don't know if they're from Etsy or what but look at this fall functional, I love that. This is like a little errands. Nice. Let's see, this is also like a today's top three with some checklists. Ooh, I love these ones. Oh, I love these ones too, cool. All right, these are some little page flags which are like my fave and these are just some cute little functional guys. How cute are these? Okay, like I'm gonna use the snout out of these for sure, like for sure. And then I'm excited about this for the fall because I love theming out my stuff for the fall because I love to fall, I don't know. I like just having fun. Oh wow, look at this. And there's some like full box check heartless. Again, if I can find them, future Emily will link them in the bottom bar below. All right, these are like huge sheets you guys. These are from Glam Your Planner. Do it yourself, do it your way. So, wow. These are like very, very like springy and like summery colors, another full sheet. There's a lot of stickers here you guys, oh my gosh. Ooh, these are cool, these are really cool. I really like these, I think those are really nice. Very cool, oh my gosh, wow. Look at all of these stickers, and I got these. I love these, it says, you can see, maybe not, the lighting's kind of funny in here. It's like a little grid paper and it says project on it. Like how's it close up? I need that from my house projects.  Thank you so much, Vanessa. I was really kind, you didn't have to send me anything. Thanks for subscribing and following me on my crazy journey of life. Where that's all the things I wanna show you today. I feel like this vlog is the vlog of things. It's the last vlog and it's the vlog of the things. All right, well I'm gonna start tossing some of the packaging and the trash because I wanna get that out of here before tomorrow and then after that I'm going to mop the floors and I will actually show you the mop edge. Okay, I don't know if you can hear me but we're getting ready for tomorrow. Brought the chairs and Emily is mopped the floor. So, and we're moving stuff around. It's like, oh, there she is. She's like, working like a little fiend. There she is. Okay, so she says, do you wanna see something gross? She's not gross? She's ready to show something gross. Okay, that's from a brand new clean floor. Yeah. This is only broom sweat, but that's how gross it is. Yeah. I'm gonna have to clean this again after moving but yuck and look at all this sediment at the bottom. Ew, let's get in a little closer to see that yucky stuff. Oh, I'm dropping stuff. Oh no. Yeah, there's a film of sediment there. That's for sure. Yeah, just a touch, just a touch. Yeah, so, all right. I'll link the vacuum down below for you guys because it's pretty awesome. It works really good. It does, it looks really good. So I've had a costume change. I'm wearing my clean body, dirty mind shirt from clean and dirty, of course.  She does, but she's the dirty, she's dirty. I'm not dirty, just kidding. But we have decided to do some things. So let me tell you about it. There is a nice little pole right here because we're going to Lowe's to return all the extra stuff. And I know I said this in yesterday's vlog and I was like, oh yeah, I have all this extra flooring. I can do the floor upstairs. Well, the more I thought about it, the more I thought, you know, I think I would probably want to go another route. So I'm going to return the flooring. It's back there. And I think if I want to go with a plank vinyl again, I can always go and buy it again. And this was about, I think it was like $2.49 a square. So that's a lot of money to just have sitting around and something I may or may not use. So I decided to just forego it and return it and then I can always buy it again if I really want to buy it again. So whatever. I did, however, keep the box, like the unopened box that the flooring guy had left. There was only like two planks taken out of there. And I think all the boxes had like 12 planks total. So I think that's going to be fine for like, I don't know if I ever just like do a repair or something like that. So I'm good with that. And yeah, we got the garage just looking really nice. And you guys saw me with my abyssal cross wave. Yeah, I love that thing. It's so freaking cool. It's so gross, but like oddly satisfying gross. You know what I'm saying? Oh wow, there's a lot of grills. Woman walking three gray hounds and the gray hounds look like horses, but they're not. So anyway, we are going to run to Lowe's and do that thing. And then I think I'm going to get a switch plate cover too because we're there anyways. So why the heck not? And yeah, are we going to dinner? Did you want to go to dinner? Sure, sure. Something light. Something light or something. To counteract that birthday cake that I ate today. She did eat some birthday cake today. I didn't tell the vlog, mom came to work today. Yes. She was sent on a mission to get some stuff at the hardware store. And so we ended up going to Bob's produce ranch. That's the place that has the goulash that I showed you guys a while ago. And she got a salad and then she also got a piece of birthday cake. That's like her favorite thing ever. I love birthday cake. I know, she loves it. But anyway, was it as good as Carol's red velvet? Okay, I didn't think so. But yeah, she's like, well it'll counteract it. I'm like, exactly, it's all about balance. Anyway, while we're down here, we'll get something for dinner and yeah, I'll just take her out. So we are now at Applebee's. We left Lowe's and the mama is having the same thing she had last time, the chickens. And then I decided to go with the mac and cheese with there's like bacon and chicken. But I got the chicken on the side because there's no way I'm gonna finish all of this. So I think I'm just gonna take the chicken home because yeah, it's just, it's just a lot. But this looked good and it's actually kind of chilly in here. So I figured I wanted something warm on the face, you know what I mean? So mom and I just got back from Lowe's and got some floor registers because some of them were kind of in bad shape, like kind of rusted and kind of, there were some that were just kind of like bent. So we got four of those. So yes.  So it'll look nice because that, oh, it's hard to see. There it goes, it's focusing. That door has the decorative one and then these two have the decorative ones as well. So I figured that would kind of, you know, look nice. And then I got an extension cord. So this is good, the 15 footer. I got these, which I'm gonna install in just a moment. These are like little pulls for your ceiling fan and light. So that was cute. We got two of those for upstairs. Even though the ceiling fans are white, I don't really care. And I also got this thing. Oh, this is like the vlog of the haul, haul vlogging. It's like a man's caboodle. If you guys remember caboodles, that's what I was telling my mom. And I'm like, it's like a caboodle for dudes. What's a caboodle anyway? All right, hold on, I gotta open it, but I have to do it two handed. So it opens up like this and then these pop open too. So I figured I could put all of my, like these come out as well. Like you can take them out if you want to and like same with down here. You can pop out whatever you wanna do. But I figured like screws and nuts and bolts and just like random weirdness can go in here. I really, really, really wanna get one of those, the big like tool chest things for out in the garage. But this is a step in the right direction. So I am gonna install these guys and I will show you what I'm done. Okay, there's something going on in here. This is too long. Aw. So they're essentially gonna be the same length. Say look. Well, but when's gonna have a... I have an idea. Oh, there's a light bulb on top of her head. Smallest light bulb ever. I have a really small idea you guys. Wow. Okay, let's see how this is gonna work. So they're the same height. But one is a light bulb and one is a fan. Yes, I guess you like. Oh, look how it works. So now we're off to the next room. So I just hung up the fan things. They look good.  But we are getting everything set up. Looks like I'm having a dance party in here, but I'm not. Party. Party. So my mother just put all of the rods and brackets over here and we're gonna put up the rods tomorrow in this window and in that over there. I can't do it. I can't do this. But yeah, so we are set for tomorrow. I will show Doyle in the vlog. Don't worry. Yeah, this is like the end of bloom. It's the last day of June. Are you sad about bloom being over? Yeah, I think you should go at least a couple more days just to do the move in and like sort of get organized a little bit. Disclosure, a little closure. I think you guys have been talking to her a little bit too much. You need to stop because they all like her. It's because they all like her. Someone was upset that yesterday's vloggy weren't in it at all. I was taking the day off. I know she did. She did take the day off. Took the day off with vlogging and everything. I know. But you know what I was doing is I was working on that Christmas stocking for my grandson. It's turning out really cute.  I know, maybe I'll have to show that in another video. It's coming along. Yeah. It's not done yet. No, no. You got till Christmas. I think you're gonna be okay. I'll work at it. But anyway, that is the last check-in for the house for a balloon. But I will close out the vlog when I get home and when I see the little Doyle Poocher which is sitting in a cage right now. But yeah, and then I am like going to sleep because it is 10 o'clock and moving is tomorrow at nine. So if I can sleep for another like hour or two, I would love it because I get up at five every morning. So I get very excited about any kind of sleep in situation. All right, let's go back to the parentals and I'll show you the Doyle Log. All right. So I am at the parentals and I'm gonna have one of my last sleeps in this bed. Not the last sleep, but one of the last. Let's see if we can get the Doyle Dog in here. And sorry, I look like a mess right now. Like my eyes are like super red. I feel like like around my eye, not my actual eye, but like, I don't know, just. Hey Doyle, come here. Come here. I don't wanna do anything. He doesn't wanna be on camera today. Doyle is not wanting to cooperate for the Doyle challenge today. He must know it's the last day. Really? This dog is not wanting to cooperate. I think he's upset about the balloon ending, but it's the last day of June. It's gotta end. All right, so this is like the latest balloon ever. It is proof. It's 11.05 at night. I just bought a fridge on the computer right there, but it's not for me. It's for this lady right here. She doesn't like this fridge. It keeps falling apart.  I hate it. She likes the freezer on the bottom, but we found one that will fit because the cabinets are so low and this bar keeps popping off. And it's like you can't hardly get in these. Yeah, it doesn't like the drawers aren't transparent. So anyway, we got a fridge. It's coming next month. Couple weeks. Yeah, a few weeks. So here's this little stinky doggy. You gonna say hello to the vlog now? He was having some issues before and just didn't wanna say hello. He was just, he was so upset that balloon was ending, huh bud?  Oh man, I wanna be in all the vlogs, all the vlogs, all the vlogs. Yeah. All right, we're gonna have to say goodbye to our friends cause it's really, really late. I'm with a Doyle butt. There's the head of the butt right here. I'm gonna struggle. Doyle should be nice. The dog doesn't like to sit on the right-hand side of people. So he's like really upset. He wants to sit over here. Not letting him.  Way to go Doyle, way to go. Oh buddy, I'm sorry. I'm so mean to you. Anyway, that is going to be it for balloon 2017. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me. It's been a blast sharing with you guys. I'm super excited to move in tomorrow, finally after all of this entire journey. I think it's so funny that I closed in the house on June 1 and finally July 1. I'm finally able to move in. So I'm super pumped about tomorrow. It's gonna be hectic and crazy. Hopefully I'll be able to like Instagram a little bit for you guys. So make sure to follow me on Instagram. The links are always below. Yeah, a lot of work ahead. I'm glad it's a four day weekend, but I am doing something kind of fun on Monday, which is the holiday. It's the fourth of July Independence Day in the US. And yeah, so that's why I have the, like a four day weekend. So I'm pumped about that. Actually the timing ends up working out like pretty perfectly. So, but I am in a jet for now. I am going to get up in the morning and edit maybe in the middle of the day. I don't know, I need to go to bed. Like I just can't stay up and edit this, but this vlog will be up at some point today. Not today, not today as I'm sitting here, but like in an hour. Can I help you? Okay, that was random. But yeah, so it'll be up. It's just not gonna be early. I think it's gonna be up like later. I'll need to take a little mental break and do the edit and I've got a lot of footage today. So yeah, it's just been a, it's been a crazy day. But anyway, I'm gonna leave the balloon playlist down below for you guys.

Namaskaram! This is Mitali Raj. Sadhguruji, I want to know the truth about where and how can we acquire strength to ignore opinions popping against us every day. Namaskaram Mitali! I hear that you're a great hitter of the ball. Just keep hitting the ball and everybody's opinion will change. People have their opinions about everything, but why should it matter to you or anybody? Because other people's opinion will matter to us only when we are not very clear about what we are doing. So instead of trying to battle with other people's opinion, it's best that we strive to create clarity as to what we are doing and why we are doing what we are doing. If this clarity arises within us, other people's opinion will not matter. But will people not have opinions about us, they will have. It is their right to have their opinions. It is like, if you build a house in a village and build a house in the mountains and in the jungle, now you're afraid of the animals, you shouldn't have been there. Now you built a home in the marketplace and you are afraid of the noises of the marketplace. That's not the right place for you to be. Now you're living in a society and you're afraid of what other people say. No, this is part of social life. Somebody will always say something. Well, today it is magnified because of social media, but forever people have been having opinions. At one time you had to battle with just two or three or five people's opinions. Today you have to battle with five million people's opinions because they're all out there expressing themselves. It's perfectly fine, they can say what they want, but the most important thing is to bring absolute sense of clarity into our lives as to what are we doing and why are we doing what we're doing. If this is clear to us, opinions will fly and opinions will change. You just hit the ball well, you will see everybody's opinions will change.


You think you know better, and so you spin around in all kinds of things like video games and going to the bar and watching all kinds of sports and doing all kinds of spiritual seeking and chasing all kinds of substances and traveling and trying to get it through sex, trying to get it through money, trying to get it through luxurious objects, trying to get it through the validation of your parents, trying to get it through the validation of others online.  You want it so bad. That's why you asked for this video. You want it so bad. You seek everywhere for it but you have to crucify all of your sense of self. You have to crucify all of the sense of separation. You have to crucify all of the conditioning, all of it. Everything has to go. Every single last speck has to go. Everything has to be healed. Everything has to be transformed. Everything has to be repented. All sins have to be repented. All of them. There's no other way. There's no other way to a fulfilling life.


Hey friends, Dan Stephanie Burke. You're watching behind the scenes to find it to misurator. We're back With dr. Ian Murphy the road to self-awareness the therapy book for Christians Pretty excited about this book. We don't always do two shows, but worked out. We're getting to do that today with dr. Murphy so Hang in there. We'll get we'll get rolling in just a second here and Continue our conversation if you miss part one you can find it of course On spiritual direction comms YouTube page eventually these will be all up at spiritual direction comm website And on eWT and radio you already mm-hmm, okay? On your market set go Welcome to divine intimacy radio. This is Dan and Stephanie Burke And you are listening to your radio haven of rest your hermitage of the heart your monastery of the mine Where we lift our hearts and minds to heaven to draw upon the wisdom of the saints To help us to navigate navigate to help us to navigate this tumult of life And today we have back with us dr. Ian Murphy To talk about his excellent book and the perspective he offers in the road to self-awareness Which if you didn't know I mean we have a lot of listeners who are very you know interested in discussion about the interior life and growing and wholeness and holiness and Self-awareness what I like to call Godward self-awareness, which is not just self-awareness for its sake, but it's a self-awareness wherein we Recognize who we are in the context of God and the context of his love and his redemption is planned for us and all of that But it's a self-awareness that leads to a Healthy reality of recognition Not a one that condemns but one that redeems and I think that dr. Murray has captured this concept really well in the road to self-awareness Welcome back and dr. Murphy to Divinity some see radio and thank you again for having me on the show I'm delighted to get to do a second segment with you. This is great Just I appreciate you and everything you do. Thanks for having me. Thank you. Awesome. So we're ready. Yeah I know you had a question we left I do I do so we talked about some of the Ill that's going on in therapy and self-help books and all of that So how does your therapy book for Christians take us past these incomplete sandbites and cheap gimmicks and just this soulless and Godless approach to healing Into the real healing that is deep and lasting Yeah, great question What's left out of the self-help industry? You know that is again incomplete at best harmful at worst in a word is God They've left God out. It's they've literally left the Counselor the Holy Spirit the counselor out of counseling and so of course it's going to be incomplete or warped What makes? The road to self-awareness a therapy book for Christians different and not a self-help book You know, it's it's a God helps book, you know, I found I was Radically incapable of Saving myself, you know in a sense the self-help industry is committing the Pelagian error of Self sufficiency, you know this lie that people Can save themselves. No we can I mean in my weight loss journey I encountered my weakness for all things peanut butter and my propensity to fall on my face repeatedly You know, it was only in Christ that I could heal apart from my maker I could do nothing apart from Jesus Christ. I could do nothing so what makes my book different is it it puts God back into it and as soon as you put God back into it this whole world opens up Because you know one of one of the tendencies of the self-help industry because of what it leaves out is it reduces therapy to problem-solving and it reduces the person to a problem to be solved, right? But I'm not a problem to be solved I am irreplaceably precious to the one who made me and is pursuing me and Would say that to anybody listening you are irreplaceably precious to me my child. I am after you. I am pursuing you I await you and when we know we are loved and That we're not a problem to be fixed where God's beloved Then we get the grace that heals we get the power of the sacraments We get the accompaniment of the counselor.  I just need to deny myself more But we need the love of God because otherwise we're getting nowhere Whether it's pride or whether it's gluttony Whether it's anger or whether it's slow, you know, whatever it is We're getting nowhere without the love of God because it's only through the understanding that he loves us That we can even come to healing Amen, you know, we picture our fight against sin You know with like the imagery of Rocky, you know, we're going against this foe and and we're taking some shots But we're leveraging even harder shots and we're sweating it out and trying to deliver that knockout punch You know the fight against sin and vicious habits in our lives is Ironically more passive than active. It's a letting go. It's a trust fall You know, it's a letting go and letting God it is Moses who can't hold his arms up anymore and needs Aaron and her to hold them up for him It's the person who is addicted to a bad website and so they just cut the internet connection in their house It's about not keeping cookie dough in the fridge in the first place You know, God doesn't want it to be grueling for us to heal. It's about avoiding the occasion Of sin it's it's a letting go. It's it's ironically passive. We just again that lie of self-sufficiency even creeps in To our growth and holiness and we think we're the ones doing it. No, we're the ones Acquiescing to God's will we are the ones giving total abandonment to his happy plans to prosper us You know, what's beautiful about that doctor is that I you know, that's a fearful place to be Yes, you know, I've I've talked about the vulnerability That the Lord asks us to enter into is a radical vulnerability It's much more vulnerable than any of us are comfortable with And I remember hearing a family member one time we were trying to help them get to that place of accepting God's path for them and you know Leaning into the Lord and the healing and the love That um that the god the father has for them And this family member said but I'm afraid that I won't like who I become And that that honesty of I don't know who I'm going to be without this brokenness I don't know who I'm going to be without this sin Because it our sin almost becomes like a security blanket You know, I I don't know your thoughts on that Yeah, it's that I I want to be in control I I think that is a true insight and I and I admire and I'm inspired by that self-awareness From the the testimony you're referring to that ability to say Honestly and vulnerably I want Some control it's like we all have this the stop sign That we hold up to God when he wants to take more territory and we say, okay, that's far enough Stop I I'm keeping some of this for me. I need some control. I need some familiarity You know, I I need a security but I need what's familiar what I know I at the unknown scary just stop.  Just give me another inch.  I don't need this And drop that stop sign all together and say I'm all in take it all Yeah, that's freedom. But that that is scary and and and it means I'm not in control It's a total trust fall. This is Danny Stephanie Burke with divine intimacy radio. We're talking to Dr. Ian Murphy about the road to self-awareness Really how to get free Of things that seem that bind so many of us and I think nobody There's no exception Everybody struggles with sin. I think this book can be a great help to you. You can find it at e2btn's religious catalog Doctor, I think I want to know I mean in the book You you talk about a breakthrough that you had. I mean, of course, we've talked about the button prayer I think of Stephanie's comment and your discussion about coming to know the love of god. It reminds me of the second A book of the scent of mount carmel. We're saying john john lacrosse says Do you want to get to heaven quickly? Do you want to get to sanctity quickly? He didn't say Knuckled most people would say well, what what do you think he said?  Wow, what an amazing insight Yeah, it's uh, you reminded me of something pope benedict the 16th said is that It's only when we know we're loved It's only when we know we're loved that we Have that god-given need for security and significance Satisfied that as he words it that's when we know it is good that I exist But then he adds that all human love is fragile Because all humans have sin and are broken and don't love perfectly yet It's only when we are assured that god loves us You know because the human love is fragile when we're assured of god's perfect love for when we know we are delighted in When we know we are irreplaceably precious to him That is when we know in our bones. It is good that I exist And that is the source of every that is the source of our strength to follow him You know my initial journey was one failed weight loss attempt after the next Because I was trying to knuckle down and fight harder and do it on my own strength It was just one failed diet after the next one failed exercise dvd after the next I had To do just what you described. I had to fall in love with jesus and let him love me you know just be Let him see me as I am you know the prayer of every true believer of from king david search me know me See if there's anything unclean in me You search me and know me in other words. I've heard it put be spiritually naked Before god let him see you just as you are And know that you are loved You know that is when we have the strength to follow And surrender and as I found out my healing journey falling down isn't the issue staying down is Right. Absolutely. Absolutely when we get back from the break we'll continue our conversation with dr Ian murphy the road to self-awareness the therapy book for christians highly recommended No doubt it will help you break through barriers by god's mercy and grace in and through god's mercy and grace and love That have been a your nemesis for a long time the lord wants you to be free And dr murphy is a good insight on how that all works. We'll be right back Um Okay, so I think What I want to do when we come back from the break is talk about the structure of the book So we'll have you describe the structure of the book um And uh, so we did this I want to do this And we we already did that we did that one. Yeah, okay Okay, uh, but we can do those others. Okay. All right and uh That sounds good for folks, uh on the live stream real quickly Divine intimacy and marriage retreat november 3rd to the 5th shrine of the most blessed sacrament.  I mean, we've had both husbands and wives, you know In in quotes dragged their spouses there We had one in the last event Who said that uh, she came and told us that I was going to leave my husband And after and once the event was over she said one first I want you to know I didn't know how beautiful and wonderful Catholics could be because she experienced the love of the the good people around her She was kind of weak in the faith and then she said and I've decided I'm not going to leave my husband Another woman Who had exited the marital room the the master bedroom was sleeping on the couch said I'm going back to you know to be with my husband just Over and over we hear these things interesting. I don't know why two women came to mind, but yeah Well, and then we had one One husband who did not want to be there At the end that was a fat emphatically on his feet Arms outstretched talking about how this was absolutely transformative.

Oh, that is true. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, good All right, let's jump back in any markets that go welcome back You're listening to divine intimacy radio. This is dan and stephanie burke So grateful to ewtn for allowing us to do this important work and for all the great work they do For the church and uh today our guest Is a second time guest you can find part one of the show Out on spiritualdirection.com Also on our youtube page The it's dr. Ian murphy the road to self-awareness a therapy book for christians I'm loving everything about this interview. Yeah, I know me too like like this is a brother in christ Oh, you like the guest. I like the guest. I like I think I like everything about this This is awesome. This is great material. Yeah, me too. Okay, so with that dr murphy What I want to know is um Could you briefly describe the structure of your book And how your own story of healing gets woven in because I think it's a really powerful part of your book I'd be happy to and the feeling is mutual by the way Thank you for your thoughtful words. It's uh I feel like I I'm getting the the blessing here today. So thanks again for having me. Yeah, the structure of the book I it's set up, you know, very accessible very readable specifically Every chapter opens with the next episode In my broken and sometimes hilarious weight loss journey You know, you'll you'll hear about the failed diets. You'll hear about me Coming to hate my emotions and starving myself the starvation diet the no seafood diet And not seafood as in fish but foods that start with sea Carbs candy cake carrot cake cotton candy doubly off limits I mean with the exceptions of like celery and and and carrots and and some obvious things Cheese and crackers and I mean cow so many things that start with sea I just I fired and starved myself and and of course that backfired too because I was treating myself like a problem to be fixed and not grounding everything in The three persons of the trinity and me as the human person maiden loves image You know, so you'll you'll hear in every chapter of the next episode in my broken and funny Battle against weight loss then the next section Draws the healing concepts from that episode of my journey to light and say, you know, here are the healing concepts that that part of my story Illuminates and exhibits and then the last part of most chapters is called Applying the concepts across the board where we show how those healing concepts, you know They're not limited to gluttony or weight loss. They apply to well Miss spent energy addiction Toxic relationships.  My first book was a secular business strategy book And one of the things I discovered with these I used to go in and rescue large-scale software failures And what was fascinating about the failures every one of them had people of goodwill Who are very intelligent and very capable yet the projects were failing And what I discovered was what I called a rule of three and that is if you've tried to solve a major problem in your life That you that you and and you and you've tried with great energy And you failed three times That means and this applies to corporations and religious orders and You know parishes and that means that you do not have within yourself What you need To succeed you do not have what you need to be healed And so I strongly recommend if you're one of those people and you think yeah, I've tried the weight loss thing Like 73 times or I've tried to get over porn 83, you know 89 times or whatever You know, whatever the issue is that just keeps plaguing you that you keep having to take back to confession And you're ashamed because you have to keep going back You don't have what you need You're doing well by going to confession and being catholic and for taking the sacraments But so I strongly recommend you pick up the road to self-awareness a therapy book for christians To begin to gain a kind of different look at all of this And how it is that that you can overcome that god has given you what you need To overcome and will give you what you need to overcome whatever hinders you in union with him But what I want to ask you is is What is the biggest surprise? that you encountered on the way to Sustainable healing like what What what what caught you off guard? Yeah, great question For me it it's easy to identify that the biggest surprise I wasn't ready for this and it did totally catch me off guard was that healing Was not a matter of me trying to feel my way Into a new way of doing something Yeah, that's where I kept hitting brick wall after brick wall is I wanted to Feel like it. I wanted to feel like exercising feel like eating healthier feel like lower in my portions And and we fall into this trap we wait until we feel like it then we never feel like it So we don't ever do it You know, it's interesting the part of our brain that dreams and has aspirations Is a different area than the part that chooses Those have been fractured And they can come back together They can come back together and we can come to get some emotional support in doing the right thing We can actually come to feel like doing the right thing But it starts with action. It doesn't start with feeling like it So again, instead of trying to feel my way into a new way of doing something I had to do my way Into a new way of feeling something Repeat that Instead of feeling my way into a new way of doing something I had to do my way Into a new way of feeling something. This was my big surprise as an example I had to get on the treadmill When I didn't feel like it on a prayer with gods, you know My flesh is weak, but your grace is sufficient for me in my weakness. Your strength is perfect Go on the strength of a prayer alone. I didn't feel like it and it was hard And I'm dragging 300 plus pounds of eon up the mountain and I'm sweating and the weights in the gym smell bad And I said to myself is getting on the treadmill always going to be this miserable And the answer was well, no getting on the treadmill is only going to be that miserable about 27 more times Because the 28th time I get on the treadmill on a prayer And take that baby step one one baby step at a time The habit switch is going to flip. This is what st. Aquinas explains about virtue is that through repetition It internalizes as a new tendency a new habit a new disposition all of the sudden I I feel like getting on the treadmill. I look forward to the toxin cleanse of the exercise It's like what's happening to me the virtue is internalizing as a new tendency a new second nature routine And if we stay with that virtuous habit it ends up molding a virtuous character Yeah, beautiful and you know what strikes me about it a different way to say what you said that that I use is that the lord won't save you without you The lord won't save you without you so as we make that first choice to lean in towards him Invulnerability and say I can't do this But I'm going to choose to do it and I'm going to step out on faith, you know today Whether it's you know throwing a wet throwing out the jar of peanut butter or You know, whatever it is, right or or whether it's choosing to choose prudence instead of You know saying things that I'm going to regret later whatever it is, right? That in choosing to do that the lord meets us in that and then his His yoke does become easy and his burden does become light Because he ratifies that choice and strengthens us in it And I think we so often need to pray for the strength Make the choice pray for the strength and keep going And the lord is going to meet you in that and then like you said you wake up those days and go Oh Something's changed Something's changed and now it's it it's resonating. It's animated in me It's it's starting to bear good fruit and take on the life of its own Um, and then it just it just goes from there, right?  It's always just one more baby step Yeah, absolutely We're talking with dr. Ian murphy is great book the road to self-awareness of therapy book for christians Strongly recommend it if you want to learn more about him go to D r i a n m u r p h y dot com. That's dr. Ian murphy Dot com his book is published by sophia and stupress. I just have to say to you Our listeners. Um, I know the president of sophia very well. I know a lot of their employees Uh, they they are an exemplary organization Everyone there is there because they believe in advancing the kingdom of god And they want to publish books that help to do that And they're doing an extraordinary job. And there's other great publishers. Your first book was published by ignatious press Uh, you know, another one is tan out there, but uh, so fiat like to become more known because I think that They they deserve to be uh on the on the top of your list when folks are looking for Something you need. I need a book on something. Who should I go to that I can trust? You can't necessarily trust the uh, the impromoters anymore. Uh, not all the time. You can't really trust all the time Um, you know a lot of things going on in the church these days But you can trust people who are dead deeply committed to the magisterium. So as we exit I know Stephanie has a final question. We just have about a minute. So for those that are struggling Um, dr. Murphy, what are your final words of encouragement that you'd like to leave with them? Oh, thank you for the chance to say that anyone watching any to this live Uh Feed and anyone listening to this radio show. I want you to hear this you are not a problem to be fixed You are not an addiction. You are not a bad spouse. You're not a bad parent. You're not a bad person You are not a problem You have a problem, but that's infinitely different from being one So just allow your maker to see you as you are Love you as you are and take a moment to think about the awesome fact that you are Irreplaceably precious to the lord. He loves you. He's pursuing you. He's after you He awaits you He takes delight in you Amen, that's beautiful. Okay Until next time may the god of peace make you perfect in holiness May he preserve you whole and entire Spirit soul and body irreproachable at the coming of our lord. Jesus christ. Amen Amen


Morning, you stinks. Guess what? It is your first bed appointment. Well, not really your first, but your first with me. Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready to go see the bed? They're gonna love you. Good morning, Soto. Good morning. Okay. I want you to take- Yeah, I'm so excited. I want you to take out the carrier and I wanna see how snap we actually know. If you know snap, he does not like carriers and he doesn't like. Knowing that he has to go somewhere in them, so watch.  In your room? I don't know, we're gonna see. Just go grab it. That little man coming through my feet right now. All right, let's see what they do. Where is he? He's right here. Oh, he knows. Oh, he knows. Oh, he knows, look. He knows. Snap, we're not taking you anywhere. We're not taking you anywhere. You're not going to the vet today. Okay? Your brother is going to the vet. And you love your carrier. Just kidding, we're taking him to the vet. Babe, that's not funny. Scar, we're returning you. But good morning, Marvel Squad and welcome back to our channel. Just a PSA, my face is peeling. Yes, I see it, it's gross. I got another chemical peel but my face is clearing up so much. But today is Scar's first vet appointment. He's never been to a vet or any caretaker in Florida. In Florida, no. Yeah, so this is the first time with us. Yes. He's never really been to a, cause the lady did all those shots. No, she took him to the vet. Oh, okay. We have his records and everything. He's only, I think he's only been to the vet once or twice? I don't know. Twice? But I'm excited to kind of see how it goes. I'm nervous at the same time. So I just, I always get nervous like that they're going to say there's something wrong.  The one main thing though I am very curious about is he does not like to be stationary. He's squirmy. He's like a kitten using a kitten's face. He's the squirmyest kitten out there. Look at it. To cut his nails, we literally have to wrap him in a blanket. Look at it. Guys. Scar, look at this weight. They couldn't believe when we called him. Hey. We called and told him about him.  They're going to be obsessed. Yeah, they're going to love him. So we're going to see him get to shop for the first time today. It's going to be super crazy. I'm really excited and nervous to see how he reacts cause both of our other two cats are the best freaking cats They work and they're always chill. I don't know. He's rambunctious. I have my doubts. We haven't had a kitten like Scar ever. Like he's got energy for days. Like he can run around this house for hours and hours. Oh, don't go in scared. Don't fall asleep in the carrier. Oh, I just love our animals so freaking much. We have too many now. I always say, oh, we got to farm. Also, look how cute this hoodie is. Phil, you need one. You need one. You need to get in the Halloween spirit. It's only August, but you need to get in the Halloween spirit. It is August. It is August. We are not even close to Halloween. It is summer. All right, we gotta get a little man in the carrier. You're supposed to be thinking about like, I don't know. No, summer's over. It's August, sorry. August is a boring month and I'm bringing in the spooky era. Baby, should we get his blanket? I'll have it right here. So this is his blanket. I got, I had for him when I first picked him up. So this is like his like. This is home to him. This is home to him. He sleeps on this in our room and he loves his blanket so much. We're just gonna make his carrier seem a little better.  Come on. Bill, watch your language. Scar, you gotta get out of that. It's time. I'm coming. So I don't wanna grab him. He's gonna run in there. Oh, poor thing has no idea. He's gonna think we're taking him somewhere. I promise we're not gonna go on a flight, okay? All right, are you ready to get your shots?  Oh, look at his eyes, guys. He's getting me.  Say goodbye to Scar. He's just looking at me. Look at him, he's just looking at him. Wow, he did good. Yeah. Okay. All right. This reminds me of the first day that I met him. Okay, wait, be careful with him. God. What? I know. It's fine. Hold that because that is the lightest you're gonna have in your... Bill! I'm not even moving it fast. That's the lightest you're gonna ever feel. Again. He's fine. Okay. So, all in. Yeah, he did his little... He's crying. Just a little bit. Yeah, but he's a baby. This is good to get him used to the carrier because I feel like Snapp and Dora are pretty used to the carrier. So, gotta built him in, okay? That's the thing. Even though we say Snapp is like scared and he like hates the carrier, he likes when he's in it. Like he's like really used to it. Like, he'll stay in there. He won't really cry at all. Especially when we're flying with him. Like he's actually like way better too. He just doesn't like getting into the carrier. That's the hardest part. He'll fight his way. He'll put his paws on each side and just be like, no, you are not putting me in here. If we take him to the airport, a second we take him out of the security, he won't want to go right back in and he's quiet the rest of the flight. He's like, you know what? The carrier wasn't that bad. There's so many people here. I just want to stay in this thing. Yeah. Where's the baby? Hi honey. I love him. Whoa, where are you? He has no idea. He's like, everything's changing. Oh, we're almost here. What do you see? Oh my gosh, I love him. And he's so perfect. Oh, nice. Perfect. Oh my God. Can you see? He's only been in the car a couple, like maybe what, four times? Yeah. He's actually really good. Look at him, he's just like looking at everything. He's just chilling. Aw. He's so good. Now he's probably doing that same thing. Okay, the crate's not that bad. Yeah. I'm kind of unsure, so. Yeah. I remember this car kinda when they first got me. He came here two weeks ago, right? Look at that, Bill. Three weeks ago, he was in the car. Oh, I love him. Why is he the cutest thing in the whole world? So we have something that's called Care Club. This is a kidney plan. It would cover, you would get unlimited exams. You would get all of the early disease detection so you'd get two people's, as well as testing for FELD and FIV. So it's like the F.Y.A.K.M. and EATS. It would cover all of your vaccines, all the boosters and everything. It would also include all of your deworming and a microchip as well. Just something for you to think about. When did you guys get this pain? I picked it up on July 16th. Oh my gosh. I had to tell you, I want to make food so bad when I'm on a boy and oh my gosh.  That's my goal. I know. Yeah, he was like our dream cat. I even told my boyfriend, if you want to marry me, I don't want anything from you. I want to make food. Yeah. You might just put the money into something that you would I mean, not that you would love to eat or anything. No, I like to chat more. That is an engaging gift. Right? They're just so cute. I don't know. Little links on their ears and look at you. Oh, you are beautiful. All right.  What is this? We have some wine. He is tiny. All right, so Scar is in the back, getting tested for feline, which is like, Katie AIDS. To make sure that he doesn't have any, so he doesn't infect our other cats because all of our documents, like we didn't really have like fully documents that said he got all of his shots done. Yeah. So they're gonna redo them all. She said that he didn't, but honestly. I'm sure he did. I'm sure he did. He did, he did. But I asked her and she said he didn't. I believe her. So cross our fingers that he doesn't have any stuff.  I would give it to other cats, you know what I mean? They would have feline too. They'd all be feline together. Stay tuned. Oh, my baby's shaking. Dude, look at him. Look at the water. He's shaking. He's literally shaking when the girl left. He was looking back at the door like, do not let me go out there again. You're safe with us. Did you get your vitals checked and your blood work done? He's getting his blood work done. And his nails trimmed. I think so. They have like two people helping them hold. Because he likes us. Look at, he's like, he wants to stay right by us. Hey, buddy. Yeah. It's okay. Look at him. He just wants to stay by you. He doesn't know. I know. I know. He's like, uh. This is negative so far, but it's got like three more minutes to go. Okay. So here's the vaccine. I'll give it. As long as it's negative, it looks like it's gonna be negative. Perfect. It's scary. It's so scary. Those things you really don't win. No. Especially the cat. Yes. Now what are we gonna do? We'll make you. It looks good so far. Okay. I'll be right back. Sounds good. He's looking at you. He's so cute. Oh, you are in such good shape. Good. Okay, you guys, let's give him this thing. So who wants to hold him for me? Try to hold him. Okay, I'll come to you. Cause I can get a technician if you don't want to. Yeah, I can hold him. How do you want me to do it? It's like, keep him right there. The little scruff is helpful because that kind of, like the mom's got him so he feels comfy, you know? So it's always kind of like that. Yeah, you're doing a great job. Oh boy. Before we get into the results, guys, okay, I'm feeling really bad. Honestly, I'm really shocked.  It was so busy. As I was leaving, there was this guy sitting near that, like when we were leaving, he was like this. He was just looking at you with disgust.  I would be the same way if I didn't know what was going on. The girl wasn't even looking at me like that. He was like this. Yeah, he's probably like, ew, what is that? I'm like bro. You like peel your skin. He could not believe it.  Right, you have to understand, to be honest, if I didn't date you, I would never know a chemical peel was a thing. Yeah, I guess you're right. So if I seen someone in public, not even that. I'm sure a lot of people don't know what a chemical peel is.  Steve, this is why I don't go out. If I saw you in public and I didn't know what you did, I would be confused. I'd be like, oh, I'm so sorry. I feel bad for her. But we got the results. We got the test results for Scar. Oh my gosh. Before we get into the test results, before we get into him, is he healthy? Is he sick? I wanna tell you the total, okay? So we did go with that plan. Now was it a smart idea? Today's bill would have been $317. And it took it down to zero. Zero dollars. See? Zero. So that's already $300. Wait. You were disinitin' in there. No, but the whole plan cost though, you have to understand, $515 for the year, plus a $50. Well, do you see that? It was already 500 in one plan right there. It was 300. Yeah, 300. It was almost 500. So no, we paid like $560 today. But they took off $317. So we're $250 away from breaking even with the plan. So honestly, it's not a bad idea. And we get unlimited exams. Every exam is $90 when you come in to get them checked out. Like if they get sick, we get unlimited exams. So I think it's a good plan. What are you doing? He's seeing, he's sighting. Buddy, buddy.  Buddy, buddy. Babe, but he won't do a traumatizing day. He's fine. We need to toughen him up. He's a Maine Coon, full blood Maine Coon. He needs to toughen up. Dude, everyone was obsessing. They were like, bro, Maine Coons are my dream cat. It's like, it's just crazy. That's why I knew bringing him here. Everyone would freak out. I know. Like you don't see Maine Coons often. Now I have an idea. What? It's the morning, about to go to Starbucks. Did you get him a pup cup? Let's get him his first pup cup. Let's film him for this video. Oh, he farted. And let's see how he reacts to his first pup cup. I'm very curious. You want a pup cup? I feel like he's going to be the one to demolish it. He definitely farted, though, at least. All right, we're pulling up. I ordered the pup cup. We are next in line to pick it up. We can't let him eat the whole thing, though, because it's a lot. It's a lot. He wants to. He had a long day today. You know, it says, like, what is it? Like, whipped cream or something? I would be the one spoiling my kids. Is it whipped cream? He's going to be like, only a portion.  It's just so much, though. He's so tiny. Oh, he's going to get his watts, too. He's got that and his watts. He might not even like it, though. He's so good, guys. I'm so blessed. He really is. All right. Here we go. Kitty cup time. They should call it a kitty cup, too, because puppies are not just eating this. It's every animal, honestly. I've seen every animal species get brought to Starbucks. For real. Do you want to know what I would love?  Yeah, that's like Bill's dream. They are, like, 10, 15 grand. Oh, my God. It's not even just that.   Like, monkeys, you have to, it's literally a baby child. You have to change your diapers, take care of them all day. It's a never-ending thing, but. We don't know if he has to go to the bathroom. He was kind of curling up his tail, but it's okay. You can lick it. He is a fiend for our food. So the fact that he's not eating this, that's crazy. Maybe he doesn't know he can eat it. No. See? Mm. I don't know, does he like it? I can't tell. He's always licking himself. Yeah, now he's, like, licking himself. I don't think he's in love with it. Come on, can you be the one cat that likes it? I feel like for cats, it's a hit or miss because Snap doesn't like it. Remember, we tried in our apartment. If you guys remember our apartment days, that's when we tried to give Snap a pup cup for the first time and he did not want anything to do with it. Do you want to try this? Maybe he's feeling tired because of the shots. Dude, the way he's looking at it, it's so cute. Oh my God, I love this guy. He's licking it. Yo, he just figured it out. Dude, he likes it. Can you put my phone on your phone? No way, hold on. Can you put my phone on your phone really quick? Oh my God, he loves it. No way. He likes it. Dude, he is gnawing down. No way. That's crazy. This is the first cat we've ever had that likes. He loves it. We're home. Hey. Are you happy? Your brother's back. Hey, since you're home. He's like, I thought you left. Snap's like, is this the same cat that was here earlier? He doesn't remember. Yeah, he knows him. That's how you know that they remember each other because, well, he's still sniffing them. What do you smell? You know what he probably smells? All of the other animals, Mariah, that are at the vet, he probably smelled all of them because there's like, there were like 30 dogs there. Like I'm surprised. Garden, not care at all. There were like, every type of dog you could ever imagine was there. What? Thor, go get your food. I don't have your food. I don't have your food. Mom has her food. The kitties are eating all three of them. Just finished their food and they're just like lounging around now all full bellies. But gosh, that makes me feel so much better. We were scared because After she said that. Our breeder that we got our mancoon from. Like we understand, like we trust her word. She's super, super nice, but I trusted her. I already knew. But we didn't have any paperwork and there's no like sign off or stamps from the vet. So like the passport, the kitty passport where it says like what shots he's gotten. He most likely got those shots. It's just the vet usually put sticker on it, right? I guess. And if they don't. Yeah, that's what the vet was saying there. And that's what the doctor was saying too. But if they don't, that means like they don't really know for sure. So they had to like retest him. They had to redo everything. They took a blood sample. They made sure. I actually took a piece of mine for me though. Yeah. I did it myself and I saw it for myself. So I feel like, I don't know. I'm telling you, our vet that we have here, we love so much. Like they are like amazing. They're the nice people ever. They're gonna be the best for neutering too. Yeah, and that. And yeah, so we're like paying also. Part of that plan that we're paying is actually, we're not paying 50, we're paying like $70 a month. But the extra 20 is for going towards the neuter. So by the time that the neuter happens when he's like nine months old, it'll be all paid for. And it'll be like, you know, just included into the plan by then. But our cat doesn't have kitty, kitty aids. No diseases, no illnesses, knock on wood. He doesn't get any like heartworms or anything, but he has the preventative stuff. And he seems to be healthy. So that's, it makes me feel way better. Oh no, we should probably call and make an appointment. She didn't make one. Okay, we probably should do that. I'm gonna do it really quick after we get off. I know. We have to make a point for his neck shots. Cause the shots that he was supposed to get today, we're going to get next time. Cause today was like his first round. I need to like book it cause they're putting out.  But thank you guys so much for watching. This is also a little like update so you can see like where Scar is. I know we kind of like disappeared off the channel for like a week and we just showed like little snippets of him, but he is doing amazing. Him and Snap and Thor are getting along. They're the best friends. They're all in the same room together. They're sleeping next to each other. Honestly, they can't go anywhere without each other. The only thing is he is super rambunctious.  Right? Yeah. And he comes over and he'll be and he'll just start like biting at Snap and like trying to play, play by it while he's dead asleep or Thor. And it's like so funny. Also because his video is kind of based around like our new addition to our family, I want y'all to comment down below your pet. It could be your favorite pet. It could be any pet you have, but like the type of pet and even your pet's name. Like what do you have? Do you have like a Mankoon? Do you have a short hair? Do you have a long hair? Do you have a boxer? Do you have a, yeah, a Husky? Like, do you have a freaking tarantula? Comment down your pets cause I want to see what y'all have. Cause like, come on, we're all pet lovers here. Oh yeah. We're going to enjoy the rest of our day and- And wish Mariah luck on her. Oh my gosh! This is totally fine. No, it's an- No, now I see why that guy was looking at me weird. Ooh. I thought y'all got chapped up. Okay, I got chapped up.  You look beautiful though.  All right guys, we're done with the video here. We love you guys so much. Thank you so much for watching and we will see you in the next one. But until then, peace. Love you guys.
