In this personal video update, the speaker reflects on the recent flooding in Abbotsford, Fraser Valley, noting that while the disaster caused loss of homes, livestock, and livelihoods, it also sparked a powerful community response. Volunteers, helicopters, boats, and donations arrived, illustrating collective resilience. The speaker then shifts to daily self‑care practices—reading, meditation, listening to Michael Bernard Beckwith, music, poetry, and journaling—emphasizing that such routines should be part of every day, not just Sundays. Drawing on spiritual themes, she discusses the illusion of time, the infinite nature of self, and the purpose each person has to share love and light. She references James Durbin’s song “Liberate” as a reminder to move from hate to compassion, and cites Michael Beckwith’s talk on “Stockholm syndrome” to illustrate feeding oneself with love and God. The narrative culminates in a call for personal accountability, rejecting external leaders or gurus, and using the mirror metaphor (inspired by Michael Jackson and Phil Good) to encourage individuals to examine and break the ego‑driven systems that divide society. The overall tone is hopeful, motivational, and spiritually focused, urging listeners to find peace, practice daily self‑care, and actively contribute to community healing.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to do a little energy update here. November 21st, 2021. And yeah, the rivers have come down quite a bit. The flooding is slowly receding here in Abbotsford in the Fraser Valley. You know, that's in the midst of disaster, as they say. There's always something that beautiful comes out of it. And it's not beautiful that people lost their homes, livestock, pets, livelihood. The beautiful part is, is that we came together as a community, and we need to do that every day, not just in disaster or when there's a crisis, right? We need to check on each other all the time. Also, you know, how do you fuel your morning? I mean, not just on Sunday, but, you know, reading, meditation, listening to Michael Bernard Beckwith. His service this morning was quite inspirational. Listening to music, doing a little meditation, some poetry, some journaling. All of that, but that's something I do every day, not just on Sundays. Like they say with self-care, it's every day. And we're meant to have fun. We are meant to have fun, to be in joy and peace and abundance and being healed as much as possible. And that's why self-care is so important. And you can probably hear all the airplanes. I mean, They're transporting people, you know, people are donating helicopters, airplanes, their time, their boats, you name it, they're doing it. It's amazing to see what happens. So I'm just asking, you know, time is an illusion. At the same time, there are 24 hours in a day, but everything is infinite, and so are you. So don't be I guess boxed in by time, by your thoughts, by your belief systems. You are meant to be here for a reason. You have something to share, something to say, something to be. And I listened to music on my walk today and James Durbin came up. Now you're probably thinking, who? Or maybe you know who he is. He was on American Idol like I don't know, 10 years ago. But I love his music. I love his story. He has an amazing voice. And there was one song that popped up, was called Liberate. Liberate from hate. Anytime you are in hate or fear, you are not in love and compassion and empathy. So that's a reminder. Do not. And he also talks about— I'm going to go to Michael Beckwith. He talked about Stockholm syndrome. What are you feeding yourself? I feed myself with love, with God, I AM presence, you know, to be the love and the light of the world. And that takes responsibility and accountability, and we all have that ability. No government No leader, no false guru, no guru, no teacher, nobody. Just you and God. That's it. That's what I'm saying. So please find your peace. And I believe it was Lori Ladd, she was with Phil Good. They do a little thing together now, Alive, and it was Phil that said We are the system that we are trying to break out of. We, we, this ego, all of it. Separation, division, religion, politics, science, Black Lives Matter, whatever it is. We gotta stop and turn the mirror and look. And go, "Okay, it starts with me." I think of Michael Jackson, the man in the mirror, the woman in the mirror, the person in the mirror, the being in the mirror, the soul in the mirror, the mirror in these sunglasses. I'm talking to myself too. So I am wholly accountable. Sending you lots of love.
