A Chip And A Chair

into your life. And I do this with inspirational insights and conversations with celebrities and everyday people like you and me, Because if you want to be better and you want to do better, then you're going to have to be able to see better. So join me on this journey of living our best lives and understanding and realizing how you are your greatest ass at get your Vitamin.

Like half the time, we be stressing out about tomorrow, the next week, the next month after that, and you don't even know if you are going to be here. So thank you God, thank you for waking me up today, thank you for allowing me to be present to realize. I mean, it only took me over thirty years to get here, but thank you God that I am here.

If you've been listening for a minute, there was a point in a lot of the episodes I was singing this song, sow down, you're moving too fast, you gotta make the morning last, just kicking down the couple stones, looking for fun and feeling groofy. That was what's that I was at Our Lady of Loss of Life. So I was probably in seventh grade, was that junior high school, and that was a song that we would sing in

our music class. Slow down, you moving too fast? You taking it for granted, You're stressing about something that's not right here, And thank you God that I'm here, Thank you God that I can feel that I can hear that I woke up, that I can taste, that I can open my eyes, that I can be present, that I can see the areas that I'm working on and still make strives to do it. Thank you for allowing me to lean into vulnerability. Thank you for allowing me to be placed in a moment that I'm doing things

that I've never done before. And I'm uncomfortable, because God, that's what we call growing, and we stop growing when we're dead. And thank you God that I'm alive. Thank you God, Thank you don for giving yourself grace simply space. And I sincerely mean that like before, like if I forgot about something or if I did something wrong, I would really play that over in my head, like how many times I could have done it better? Overlooking the

whole idea is that you're present enough to recognize it. Now, how can we change it? And how can we not ensure that happens again? What does it look like? And then because I'm not playing it over how many times I regret? I come into proactive mode where I can still amend the situation. So why are you trapping down? I don't know if that's speaking to you, but that's

truly speaking to me. I took a stab, you know, doing Vitamin D live on Tuesdays and Thursdays at six thirty six thirty to seven thirty eight a m. Pacific time. Now it's on my Facebook. We're about to be back on all the channels. I took a step and talking about the Book of Joe. Hold on, let me set my tea. Okay, I got a branch because I need you to catch all this. This tea that I'm drinking is like this belly fat tea that I saw on

TikTok so. The ingredients are a lemon, a tablespoon of kloal, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, and I even throw a green tea packet in there, and this shreds the belly fat. So again, let me tell you what it is. Get you a lemon, squeeze out the juice, put the whole skin in there, a tablespoon of clothes, ginger, a cinnamon stick, and go ahead and throw you in a bag of green tea. And also there was another recipe where pineapple. Did you know

pineapple is really good for you? Now you need to be mindful if you have any type of blood conditions. Because it can thin out your blood. It does something with the blood, so check it out if you're on any type of medication. I can't even think of the bromoline. The bromoline and the pineapple, believe it or not, even the center part of the core. You can go on Amazon and get you a pineapple cutter, because you know I always talk about I got my pineapples. Because what

do I say? If you stay ready, you ain't got it camp ready and anyway, So that was the segue. So I'm stepping on that as I'm getting parched. But I was like, let me tell you, family, because if it's working for me, why can't it work for you? Okay, Well, since I'm going off so much, let me take a commercial break, because you know, we got to get this money, plus we got to talk about growing. Okay, b r B. Hey, this is your girl, Shirley Strawberry.

going to be a preacher. And it's like, why have I not explored it? Not saying I have to let me rephrase this. Why had I ran away from it? And if you're not familiar with what I'm speaking on, go back to the episode when I talked about Happy Pride where I went into detail of all of what I'm mentioning right now. Then I'm just thinking about in high school, how you know the teachers would allow me to go ahead and get on top of the assembly or in front of the auditorium and speak on God.

How people constantly ask the pray why haven't you really leaned in? So I said, don you've been afraid to get to know what you've been willing to get to know. And I'm always saying, you eat the meat and you spit out the bones. And when I think of God, God is love. But I just want to say, me trying new things, and I'm grateful for that. And I see myself and how I have to slow down and take my time with things, and I feel like it's worth it and I'm growing and just reflecting back just

a tidbit on the book of Job. But what I received, just how this man has so much and he lost it all. And even as a human, you want to say, oh, I would rather not be here, give up, but you can't fail if you don't quit. You just got to hold on. And perhaps that's all. It's like, you got to stand on your faith. Perhaps that's why they say God is a rock, because you stand on that and it's solid. But as a human, he just said, why am I here? I've been so faithful, I've done the

right things. Why am I here? And he had people to come in his life and to remind him, or when he got to the point of questioning God, God said, who do you think that you are to know why I do what it is that I do, And to think now this part he didn't essentially say, but this is what I'm saying, that everything I'm doing is not for your greater good. Catch it. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Hello, somebody, We fall down, but we get up. Pick yourself up and try again. Don't play

with me. We read it in the scripture and we hear it in the song Hello somebody, somebody, Hello, did you catch it? Because it's hot? And Joe even when he wanted to question God, like I said, God said, can you even measure the sky that I created? Can you even fathom to imagine how depth the sea is? The water is?

move around to figure it out. See, when we're so hard on ourselves, we feel like we have to walk in this straight line, as if this is the only way to call why, because we're measuring it up from what we've seen before or what the next person is doing. But if you want to be something you've never been, well you're going to have to do things that you've never done. And perhaps that's walking in your truth. Perhaps that's taking a chance on yourself. Perhaps that's giving yourself grace.

Perhaps that's waking up and saying you're loving yourself. Perhaps that's you walking and being simply you. And that means you can't put a reference on anybody else. Did you catch it? And I feel as though, no, I don't feel well. I feel and I know that I'm giving myself this moment and I'm understanding how good it is is to be because we'll never be as young as we are right now. And remember they call it the fountain of youth. So what are you doing with your

most valuable asset and your time? Why are you getting so fixated on what you think it has to look like? Why are you just afraid to put one foot in front of the other, Because guess what, your dreams are still able true. And sometimes we get caught up in things and have to be in like a certain situation, and that's not the case. Can I be transparent with you?

Just reflecting back? We just got over what two months that I've left the FM dial and I was always in this place where I said I want to be where I'm supposed to be, and the hurt of the longing or whatever it is, I felt it was just like, Wow, you know, God, why do we have to change this again? Questioning as if I know why God does what God does? Ding who do you think you are? The question? And I said, I always thought, you know, my idea being

on the radio. What's going to leverage me so I can be a speaker, so I can MC events, host graduations.

into being uncomfortable. Many things are possible for me speaking to Dickerson for the graduation, the principal coming up and say, hey, I want you to come back. How they got to introduce me to other schools. Thank you? Got going back to MC the graduation ceremony for you not to LA for the Clean Tech Academy. Thank you God? What And I'm thinking that I have to measure up on all that I know, But God says, exceedingly and abundantly.

of poker. And as long as you got a chip in your hand and you're in a chair, anything is possible. So that's why he could say he'd be at the phone booths, couldn't even afford a cheeseburger dollar ninety nine cheeseburger, but he talking to his agent about a seven figure deal. What furthermore, just me talking about how sow down, you're moving too fast. How his project's entitled Still because now with Parkins's disease, his body continues to joke and he

longs for a moment of just being still. And I guess it's twofold because I wanted to highlight that, because that starts off or leads with the other message that I want to pass up a time to about how you got to slow down so you operating gratitude, so you can recognize where you are and have more of an idea of where you're going and what I mean by when I say where you're going, as far as how it makes you feel, not saying that you got it all laid out, but you're in tune with your body.

You're in tune with yourself that you trust the steffs that you take even when it comes down to being uncomfortable.

Hence a chip in a chair. He said he got to a point where all the furniture in his home was gone, but he said, hey, as long as I had a chip in a chair, dang on near work in twenty hours of days filming Back to the Future, and then I can't even think of the other show that he was doing at the time simultaneously then then becoming a hit, and then remember he had teenage Wolf basically not getting sleep, and then his disease started showing up.

Talked about how he was so much into trying to hide it, and they it was beautifully done together because they even oh my gosh, like poetry, oh my gosh, like how I like to be singing songs and Vitamin D. They weaved in the narrative of very shows and TVs into what the message that he was saying is if he were speaking. But that's beautiful. I'm gonna tell you right now. I am a huge fan of Apple TV plus clus So what is it? It's Disney for me, and it's Apple TV Plus and I like title uh

streaming services. I'm like in it. I don't care. We need to catch it so anyhom him even talking about how doing all these shows and how he had tried to hide the fact that he couldn't even stay still, and how he would shoot pills down and trying to hide that, and he said, I gotta be transparent about what I got now. Of course this is later on, and perhaps because there's no hiding it anymore. Nevertheless, when I say you gotta get uncomfortable, how you gotta lean in.

He even talked about how he would just be moving so fast and again longing for a moment of just being still, peace, be still. Why are you stressing again? You don't know what tomorrow bay bring, but you better live now. And because he gotten the point of operating a space of gratitude, knowing that he is alive today, knowing that he has been fortunate enough to pursue his dream to have the love and support of his family,

accepting himself. So what he was trying to hide before with the whole Parkinson disease he talked about in the future jobs that he got that they worked it in part with the character and it was enlisted as jokes again exceedingly and abundantly, far more than what you could ever imagine. But you gotta be willing to get uncomfortable. So I say, thank you God, thank you Dawn. And I know greater is coming in I don't know. And I say this because this is the affirmation of how

I speak life over myself. This is further the reason why I have life tated on my bottom lip, because I have to speak it to myself. I gotta say it so I believe it. And I talked about in reading this book and how your ear is like an embryo. What you put in it, things will grow. And we know this because we talk about affirmations. What are you putting in your ear? Are you speaking it over yourself? Are you walking into it? Well, you're going to have

to get uncomfortable. There's a young lady that works in my gym. We always have an exchange talking and one thing we always say, always telling, you know, leading in vulnerability, you know me working out and just all this great stuff right and somehow we're always reminded and we talk about God often, always reminded how everybody wants love but not being vulnerable enough to receive it. What so, how you going to want to be more than what you

are right now? If you don't want to get uncomfortable and grow feeling like you gotta have control of everything, not allowing yourself grace with your space to stretch and gold because no matter what, as long as you gotta chip in the chair, you in the game. So you don't have to compare with somebody else thinking, oh, if I had this, and why don't I do this? If this was the perfect time, if I knew this person. Don't you think God knows what Yad is doing? So

why are you tripping? Slow down? You're moving too fast. Slow down, you're moving too fast, just so caught up and what you think is supposed to look like, be like, feel like stop playing with me, God said exceedingly in abundantly. You can't even fathom too imagine how out of all the snowflakes in the world that come down, like maybe on your block, not now one is the same, not now one. Billions of people on this earth are not now one of us are the same. Stop playing with me.

I feel like saying a lot even identical twin, it ain't all completely identical. Somebody gonna smile a little different, talk a little different personality saying. You telling me that you gonna try to figure out what God can do when God says exceedingly and abundantly, far more than what you could have or imagine. But you're trying to hold on, let go and let God, let God have his way again.

Doing you getting so caught up of thinking that you got to be in this platform, in this situation to do what it is that you ask God to do. And it doesn't mean that I'm not saying that I don't aspire for that moment. No, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is you got to operate in gratitude.

Don't be wallowing because it's not what you look like when but what you ask God for to be At an eighth grade graduation speaking to the eighth grade class, and parents and teachers are telling me I inspired them, stop playing with me. When Christine Devine, who hosts Fox eleven News at five, says she was enamored with my speech, stop playing with me. So I just want to be great, And they say, if you want to be great, you gotta do things that great people do, and great people

do things that every day people don't do. Where do you fall with that? Are you going to compare yourself and look at the next person and thinking that's how you got to do it? That it has to happen at a time that you can fathomto imagine, or you gonna trust what you feel and do things that make you feel uncomfortable so that you can stretch, so that you can grow, so that you can be more than what you could have her imagine and give yourself grace. If you mess up. Listen, we fall down, when we

get up. If you can look up, you can get up. If you fall down seven times, get up eight. Your location is not your destination. Where you are right now doesn't determine or where you would be. But if you're not willing to crow, if you're not willing to get uncomfortable. If you're not willing to take a chance, you will never know. And as in the book of Doctor Seuss,

oh the places you'll go. So I'm just wondering, if you're like me and you want to be more than where you are right now, will I want to implore you to take a chance on yourself. I want to implore you to do things that you would have never imagined. That means learning a new skill, That means perhaps forgiving somebody, even if that person is yourself. It's about dusting yourself off and trying again. Okay, So that's what I want

to say. Slow down, you're moving too fast. Gratitude is everything, and know that as long as you have a chip and a chair, you're stealing the game. Hey, that's that heartbeat, that's that purpose, that's you and your ability to hear what I'm saying. Right now, we're here for a good time, not a long time. Yeah, all right, So I'm adding this to it bit because why not doing you want to support vitamin DV with doing day, make sure you

tell somebody to tell somebody else. Look, I ain't even want to be vulnerable right there, right there, Look at that look at that I'm up here. I didn't just went through this whole day, and we didn't even want to be vulnerable. You know what I was about to say.
