Sandi L Boucher presents a short reflective YouTube video (Oct 18, 2024) encouraging viewers to let their minds wander to discover where their spirit truly wants to be. She recounts visiting Fort William Historical Park with a friend, uses that setting to pose the question "Where would you be?" and contrasts spirit-driven desires with fear-based reactions. Sandi shares her own preference for wide open natural spaces (sleeping under the stars by a lake), acknowledges lingering protective fear, and invites viewers to comment while noting community guidelines and upcoming content.

Foreign. Okay, so this one is just one of those. I love to let my mind wander. I believe like in your dreams. If I just let my mind wander, it creator will show me what I need to see or what I need to consider. Contrary to mainstream, who thinks you must control your mind and stay focused. Decolonized on that one. So the question, there's that hair again. The question would be, where would you be? So to give you a little backstory here, this is years ago. Our kids were just babies and my kids are in their middle to late 30s now. Give you an idea. And here. There. Finally got it. Yay. Here in the city of Thunder Bay, where I live there is the Fort William historical park. Or to us who have lived here forever, the old fort. It's Fort William. So fur trade days, Fort William. And on this day, me and my girlfriend Amy had gone out to the fort. We wanted to go see it. And it's impressive you were ever in the area. I highly suggest you check it out. So outside the fort is the indigenous encampment. And then you walk through the gates of the fort and then there's the whole community built within the fort. So we had checked out the indigenous encampment and the things outside, and we were just about to walk into the fort and she looked at me and said, you know what, it's so cool. Just imagine where would we be? Like, if we lived in this time, where in the fort would we be? And of course, me being me and total smart, I kind of laughed and was like, girlfriend, out by the teepees, we're not gonna be in the fort. We're out there. And she just laughed. Like reality set in. So that led me to believe where would you be? Or led me to ask, where would you be? Solely based on your spirit, where would you be if you could wave that magic wand? And I'm not talking about in a five star resort on a beach that like man made much. I'm talking about, what is your spirit need now, for example, some people like salt. Small spaces. They want cozy, they want comfy, they want under a blanket in their bed. They want, you know, in a small little cabin in the middle of the bush. They like that small and cozy. And there's nothing wrong with that. The only challenge I would say to that is make sure that's really what your spirit wants and not a reaction that what's happened to your body and being on your journey, is it an escape? Like, is it based in fear or based in spirit? Is I guess the best Way to put it. Now for me, I don't think any of you are going to be surprised by this answer. For me I was like give me space, give me space. I am like so big and so okay with that. Finally, after a life of trying to fig fit into someone else's little box and definition of who I am, I finally found a career that was big enough. I need a whole flipping stage to handle my personality. I need a YouTube channel to handle my personality. So for me, my spirit, I would be sleeping under the stars in the middle, preferably on the shore of a lake with the trees and just staring at the stars with all, all the room in the world to dream. And I have to admit that when I thought that there was a tiny little piece of me that went that's kind of scary cuz there's no protection. And I realized that tiny little voice is still the reaction to what has happened to my being and body. And it's not my spirit now. I'm not condemning it. I'm holding that. I'm comforting that. I'm telling that piece of me, you're okay now. You don't need to be scared. But my spirit needs big spaces. My Last home was 2500 square ft and it's me and two cats. This one is beautiful. It's 1500 square feet but it comes with a killer backyard. So I have made the compromise. So where would you be? Forget the pain and the fear. Set that down. Go before who you were, before the others came. Where would your spirit want to be? I would love to hear. Put it in the comments. Let me know what you know, what you think of the new format. Let me know what you think of the new glasses. I have so many. Maybe I'll debut them over the next couple of weeks. So there you have it for the week of I think October 15th is when this is coming out. I will see you next Tuesday. I have something different to offer. My daily emails that go out to my list. Some practical advice going out to them each day. I'm looking forward to it. I'd love to hear what you think. Talk to you soon. Take care of you. By the way. Don't. I don't mind you sharing what you see through your eyes over the upcoming week. Don't make it a negative. Don't. I don't want to see the comments that are attacking someone. I'm going to delete those. It's not about what the world is doing to you. It's about what you're learning from the world. And that is never a negative. Don't react. Learn. Why am I here? Why did I need to learn this? Do I need to make different decisions? Everything has power and significance. If you just let it. Until tomorrow. I love you. Take care. Bye bye. Not till tomorrow. No, no. Until next week. I love you. Take care. Bye bye.
