So I'm so excited to introduce my dear sister and friend Marcy, here on this podcast. She's been an amazing Sherpa to myself. And why don't you Mercia tell us or tell tell the audience who you are what you love to do could be your faith, it could be your creative inspirations. Just a little bit what you would want people to know who are with us on the quest towards using our voice, and our sanity, to be at all best wellness. First of all, it's my pleasure to do this with you. And I'm thankful to the Lord that we have been connected with with each other for quite a few years. And we've gotten to know each other and pretty much understand each other the way we think. And I, I'm an artist, I'm a writer, and also minister of the gospel. And that's not what makes me who I am. Who I am is someone that loves the Lord. I love to help people. I love to see people progressing in whatever it is spirit, soul and body. And I love laughter, love to tell jokes, love to encourage people. And a lot of things that I think is funny, and a lot of people might not think is funny. And I like to recall things that my very wise grandmothers would share with me because I see them manifesting in my life today things that they sayings that they had, that I'm finding that now I'm repeating them. And it's it's so wonderful to even hear my my children or my grandchildren, repeating those things, and taking it as their own. And they have forgotten that Wait a minute, mom shared that with me. And so I just I just love to see the generations progressing and all the good things that the generations that came before us the truths that they shared, and the wisdom that they shared, I love to see it blooming in my friends and family and especially listening to my children repeating things that were told to me a value. Oh, that's such a beautiful thing. That is actually my would have been my question to you is the resources you found to be beneficial in this pursuit of your your wholeness and your your wellness. So that is listening to those your grandmother's and then having maybe their values imprint on you with the gift? Is that what what I hear you say? right? Correct. And a lot of there, a lot of their, their little, you know, words that they shared words of wisdom are seeds of wisdom. A lot of it is rooted in the Word of God. And but I love is the fact that there are times when they said things that were paraphrase, because you want to look in the Bible and say, Well, I didn't find that. But then I realized that they had the revelation and an understanding of simplifying it so that someone who may not know the word of God, that they're still getting the truth. And so is just a blessing. Because I find every day of my life, I'm repeating things that they said. And sometimes immediately the scripture will come to me that's what they were talking about, or something they said. And I said that didn't make sense. And then when I, you know, get the revelation is oh my goodness, that's what they were saying, you know, maybe it's something that I used to say, because I heard other people saying it or a song. And I might one of my grandmother's might have rebuked me and said, Where did you hear that from? Don't ever let me hear you say that, again, are saying that again. And then as a grown person, an adult, you know, I'm hearing the song again. And then the realization revelation is coming to me. Is that what that meant? You know, and so it's just I just think it's wonderful to know that I had advisors, absolute were wise and they they didn't use, you know, religious garb and, you know, not even that's not pronouncing the word. But they they actually broke it down. So that My childlike state, I could understand it. And even then when I didn't understand it now, as an adult, they are coming back to me. And I said, Oh, that's what that meant. You know, so yeah. Oh, beautiful. Yeah. So. So that's, that's like an inner observer that helps you from your grandmother's mergansers narrate your world, and we'll talk about that inside observer, as I call it. Maybe like later on, and we can chat more and more this is just that the audience gets to know you a little bit more sia. So with the whole side of your life that is being an artist expressing through writing and painting, there any ways of learning that you found? Extra, especially beneficial for you? Maybe like classes you took? Or are you like somebody who just learns by trying it out? Or how would you? How would you see yourself learn. And I learned in so many different ways I I learned a lot by listening, and also by observing. And you even while I remember years ago, while I was studying real estate, and even in college, when I did my classes, one of the things that I learned, of course, no one use them anymore cassettes, I had my little cassette player, and I would take my notes, and in in my classes, and then when I came home, I would read that my notes to myself, and I would record it. And I would listen to it over and over again. And that's what I even did with my children, one of my, one of my children in particular, that us studied law, and I would go through her, her books, and I would read it for her because she had a lot to do, and I would read it, and then I would tape it, and then I would you know rewrite it. And so I learned in all different ways. And then also I can in regards to design, I can, I can go in the store and see something, and I can draw it and then design it. So I'm not male or audible. And also, you know, my visuals, so yeah, that is beautiful. So if you find yourself drawing from these sources of learning to grow and personally develop, and you have the inside, observe are sharing about your grandmother's legacy and, and wealth. If we just want to tie that a little bit to your mental wellness, you know, as this is the mental wellness podcast that you practice your voice and be with sanity. Do you feel that those two influences how you learn and what shaped you? Do you feel that makes a lot of who you are as a person? Or do you feel you added? You know, you're you're adding on and in, in many other ways as well for your mental wellness. I think you know, I think with everybody you do Adelanto because you're supposed to learn something every day. And the fact that I am rediscovering things as I, you know, mature and get older, that I'm recognizing the things that they said, Now it's becoming relevant. And then I'm, you know, applying it to myself, as well as there are things that they said that they were, they weren't helpful, but because they they were taught back because you know, you teach what you are. Whether you're doing it, whether you're doing it, you know, acknowledging consciously that you're doing it. So I have to set up parameters for myself, because there may be things that they're saying that may be true for them, but it's not true for me, you know, and I, I do a lot of listening, and I do a lot of comparing, and I like to research. I like to, you know, investigate things and not take anything at face value. And so I do a lot I mean, there's a lot and especially now today, you have a lot of tools, you know, the internet, not all the time that the internet is the best place to get your information and even times I'm willing to, you know, go and find a book that will explain it a lot better because we're finding out there's a lot of things that have been taken out of taken out of history or taken out of context. And so you have to be proactive and do your own research. And so I'm very inquisitive. And so I'm learning everyday in one way or the other. I learned from you You know, I have a brother who shares the same profession as you do, and I find that I can, someone's like, playing tennis, I can listen to you and listen to him. But most of all, I listen to the Lord and I allow the Holy Spirit to, to, you know, show me forget about my own opinion, and show me how to glean from the best of you both, you know, and so I just feel very privileged, Oh, I feel so privileged that you even say that your friend here, but that is, because I feel the same way about you, you know, as you share, or as, as I hear you speak. And I do believe that that is one way of my you know, the many gifts that I get to enjoy in my life is that I have these exceptional, extraordinary people like you in my life, through which I get it already in a very condensed fashion, things that otherwise I would have to start maybe researching myself, but if I see and learn from, you know, these different perspectives, your perspective, maybe more on the spiritual side, or like, even from your, from your cultural experiences, as I feel close to you, as you also grew up on a, you know, with a farming background. So that makes me feel like really, you know, again, very close and able to glean a lot from you, and from those shared experiences, even if they occurred in a different place of the world. But I do, I'm so grateful that this kind of learning and establishing and expanding of our mental wellness happens in community, it doesn't happen just by us researching, but it happens as we share as we cross reference, as we maybe sometimes even like pull a little bit, for course correction as necessary. So that the soundness of mind and the sanity, you know, can really can really be well established. So I'm so grateful. And I know we will chat many more times, not willing, in this format, about different topics that come to mind. But I just wanted to thank you for your time today, just to briefly introduce you here. And then I can't wait for our next conversation. And we will keep everybody posted on that. Thank you. I'm looking forward to and the word I was trying to say is jargon. unintelligible Of course, you know, it's like you get Tongue Tied is like, Am I really going to do this now? Okay, I'm gonna do this. This curled and Yeah. Good. That's good. That's how we you know how we keep moving forward. Okay. Thank you so much for your time and we will talk against God bless you. God bless you, too. Thank spray
