Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:08

Hello, welcome to another episode of First Two Stars Podcast. I am your host, Joseph M. Warner. That's L-N-A-R-T at the Francis Now that's wonderful about a go. Thank you for tuning in. As Gram Norton used to stay on his show. Let's get on with the show! Special segment for February and March midweek drops.

Meeting LS Kirkpatrick

SPEAKER_00 0:42

Normally Saturday monologues and normally a guest appearance on a Wednesday, February and March, two a week, Tuesday and Thursdays, in order to get caught up on some interviews that have been stacking up. Enjoy.

SPEAKER_01 1:00

Joining me today will be LS Kirkpatrick. And yes, I'm gonna go full on culturalist or culturalism, if there's such a word today. And this will slot as the St. Patrick's Day episode, Tuesday, March 17th. But my guest is actually, as I found out, Scottish. But Kirkpatrick, close enough. Welcome to the show, Ellis.

SPEAKER_02 1:34

Thank you so much. And I love that. And I have to say, you know, there's such a mix between English and Scottish and um Irish that, you know, we're all a little bit of everything.

SPEAKER_01 1:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:47

And everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day.

You Are Worthy And Enough

SPEAKER_01 1:52

I was just gonna go there today as this airs, we're all Irish. And I generally don't drink beer that much anymore on a key, but I might have a green beer today, also myself. So and you know, Chicago's in him. Yeah, yeah. Detroit River. We don't attempt to diet green like Chicago does the canals. Uh I think maybe they should. It could be fun. I mean, there's uh there's uh uh is it the Ecourse River? There's a few inlets from the river. We could and maybe should. Hey, idiots in Detroit, wake up, get on board, right, with the festivities. Let's dye those green. At any rate, she's not Irish. So, but I reached out to her on PodMatch. Again, I make no bones about that. I use the PodMatch service, tinyurl.com slash join podmatch to check that out. And she says in her bio or can talk about, you have great value in you, you are worthy, you are enough, you do matter. Oh, well, that sums up my life and living series of books. So I had to have her on, and no, that's not the moron. I can't think of his name right now, that plays Stuart Smally, right? I am just the old SNL garbage. She she's serious, I'm serious. This is serious. Life matters, you are worthy. You may not recognize it every day or any day, but small things add up and matter. Yes?

SPEAKER_02 3:51

Yes, absolutely. You know, there's when I give my talk um about the value in you, I always say everything that you have done in your life, all of the choices you have made, and the choices that other people have made that have directly affected you and how you've acted or reacted to them, that is where your value comes from. And that's what makes you so unique. Because nobody else has ever done that. Nobody else will ever do it. That totally belongs to you. And because of that value, that's what makes you worthy. And that worth and that value is what makes you enough, just like you are. Doesn't mean we can't improve ourselves, we can't, but you're worthy right now, and this is why you matter, because you're well who can give your voice.

Paying It Forward With Kindness

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Most are worthy. I right, there's exceptions to every rule, and sadly, as I discuss in my The Book of Kennedy project Carpe Diem, there are a lot of what I coin massholes, masses of asses that are miserable SOBs and seem to only satisfy their own misery by trying to make others miserable. Don't be one of those people. And in my a short story, A Lasting Legacy misnomer title, it's a novel like short story, it has to do with Ryan, whose life cut short. He always thinks, am I worthy? Am I living up? While he's immense a level brilliant, uh he has esteem issues, as a lot of people do. And exactly the point. We are we measuring up, and as my book goes into, his friends will say, yes, he does. In fact, I just created a Suno AI music tune. The book now has a theme. I've been playing it, that talks about uh we are your living legacy, and others will indeed be my and Kirkpatrick's living legacy if we do it right and do small acts of kindness, stride is so good, then indeed that is worthy. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 6:21

Yes, you know what things I used to do before it was even popular, and and I would always buy a coffee or a meal for the person behind me or across um in the other lane going the opposite direction. Just because I've done that rarely someone today. Yeah, exactly. Hey, it's popular, other people did it too. And I I love that paying it forward. We need to remember to do that. When when we've been offered a kindness, we need to in turn do that. Yep. One of the hardest things some people have is accepting that kindness. So we need to learn to accept kindness, even if it's a quarter at the store because you're short 10 cents. Just say thank you. And next time help somebody else out.

Life Story And Scottish Roots

SPEAKER_01 7:08

Exactly. Arcs. Like I I go into that in my Life and Living series of books, too, that I borrowed from the Evan Almighty movie, Ark, not an ARC as in Noah's Ark, although he builds one in the movie. The point is acts of random kindness, our personal arc. And that indeed does make a big difference. Again, small things that you may never remember add up to a big sum and result in your name appearing in the book of life, because indeed you shall be known by your fruits. Let me back up. I put the garbage truck in reverse, beep, beep, beep. I didn't ask the Christian show usual opening pun. The proverbial, your genesis, where were you born and raised? Uh, proverbial first question. Born and raised, where are you now? Significant places you've been in between. How much time did you spend in prison and for what? And for the record, for the record, she she's laughing for the benefit of the transcript. She's that's a joke, people. Let's lighten up.

SPEAKER_02 8:36

So I was born in Oregon. I can't say I lived in one place because my dad helped put the power lines all over the state. So we moved all the time. A lot of people asked if we were military family because we were moving so much. Second grade, I was in six different schools. There was a lot of moving, moved up to Montana. Um, met my husband in New Mexico. We we lived in Idaho, um, and he's from Florida. It's just funny, you know, all the there's not enough time on the show to talk about all the places I went because there's more important things to talk about on here. But I I just want to say this, it's kind of a funny little anecdote that when I was doing genealogy and I did that for like 50 years, and I discovered on both sides of my family, my mom's and my dad's sides, they came from Scotland. My husband, both sides of his parents, came from Scotland. And we didn't know any of this when we got married. In fact, my mom passed away before I finished the genealogy because she would have loved to have known that. Um, she wasn't quite sure where we all came from, but uh it was just kind of interesting how sometimes things like that happen.

SPEAKER_01 9:53

I'm gonna joke. That's a really nice cover story, but I know the truth. You're really from Alpha Centauri, right? You're you're an alien, not the cross the border illegally kind. You're you're an E T. Yes, people, for the trans. She's laughing. These are jokes, these are jokes.

SPEAKER_02 10:16

Yes. We need laughter, we need laughter, you know. Um, this shirt, best-selling author, the giving book publisher. This is given to me by one of the people who were in my my books. Um, and I do this book every year. It's my book to give back to the world, to thank the world for everything that they've helped me with. And it's just amazing how people from all over the world can write something and it goes together, which makes my book wonderful because all the things go together, so it's not just any one thing.

The Giving Book And Author Platform

SPEAKER_01 10:49

You've in a way crowdsourced a book. I've been debating doing that, and indeed getting input from a bunch of different people, creatives who would like to be an author, but don't feel they have a whole book in them, even though I try to help them with my how to write a book and get it published book. Not just not just uploading it on Amazon. You can read the help files from concept to writing, character development, scene development, publishing, uh, promoting, reviews, all of that in this book. But yeah, some people that minor short stories that can be then compiled into a greater, broader. You as the author create a bridge between them to create a bigger, broader novel. I've been thinking about doing that, but with my health, that it's a harder way to do a book, so I'm not sure I'll do it, but I've been thinking about it.

SPEAKER_02 12:54

Well, we can get together. We'll do one together. Somebody to walk with you.

SPEAKER_01 12:58

I've not co-authored with anyone yet. Yes, so I'm looking forward to doing that some point. But for those looking on the five behind-the-scenes video platform can see, but the 25 plus audio platforms and those reading a transcript do not know you have a background behind you in the video, and it says wisdom on the front porch. So let's talk that.

SPEAKER_02 13:25

Yeah, that's my podcast. Um, and I had a magazine last year. We're rethinking it this year, trying to bring more tools, useful tools, substance, put in a more creative, easy-to-use way. I mean, it was easy to use before, but we just want to see what we can do different about it. Um so the magazine's on hold, but the podcast there actually celebrated our 100th episode. We're now on episode 109. And in that, I have Reading Between the Words podcast, which is a subpart of it. And I did that one because there were a lot of authors who needed a platform to get their book out there, something different than what they've done before. So this is a meet the author and find out the story behind the book to really let you understand what's going on, to get in on the secrets and and what went on in the development. Because it's it's really different.

SPEAKER_01 14:21

I see an avatar kind of of you holding the globe, which automatically brings to mind don't shrug, right? Atlas shrug.

unknown 14:32

There you go.

SPEAKER_02 14:33

There you go. Yeah, because you know, I'm out to reach the world. Like you touch one life, that life touches another life, and maybe that life touches a hundred lives, those each touch, you know, more lives, and it just keeps going. We've got almost well, we've got over eight billion people in the world. So even a million. Yeah, there are there's enough to go around, you know. And I don't look at other publishers, other authors as competitors, and I did it first, and I realized that's a really bad thing because it's a negative way of thinking. But we're all working to help people do the same thing.

SPEAKER_01 15:10

Exactly. I couldn't put out how to write a book and get it published. I don't view them as competition either. I know people got stories, I want them to get their story out. It's good.

Ripple Effects Of A Smile

SPEAKER_02 15:22

I'm afraid that they can't write. Oh, I don't know. It doesn't matter. That's what editors are for. I am the worst speller. I mean, you want to read my manuscript, it's pretty bad. But I give it to an editor who cleans it all up, and I see your book, so I'm gonna hold my book up. It says the one and only write your own storybook for kids, and it has has a little guidance in it, has pages where they can write or put in an image or draw a picture, just kind of help them understand what goes in writing a book. And kids love to tell stories, they love to tell stories, and this is a great way for them to do that and write it down and then you know, as parents always keep everything our kids do, though. But who knows? You know, I know people that have written things as kids, they go back to it later in life and then they actually make a book out of it, whether it's a children's book or something that sparks another book in them. And that's the one thing I loved about the giving book is people were able to see what it was like to write a book, to kind of see what went into it. And I try to make it as gentle a process as possible. I have three people from my first three volumes who each wrote one thing, and then they were finally brave enough, they had been given the ability to have courage and say, I can do this, and now they're writing their own books. In fact, one went on to write her own anthology, and it's like that's amazing. And and I love everything about the giving book is giving. So everything on Amazon, um, that my personal book sells, the authors get to keep theirs, but my personal book sells from Amazon, from books.by the profit all goes to a nonprofit. Um, and this one is Izzy Izzy's Legacy Incorporated the first four were to Idaho Youth Ranch, which not only help the individual, but the family, the community. So I always want to make sure that that that I help support somebody who's supporting others.

SPEAKER_01 17:20

Yeah, and I want to go back to like you said, doing small things, sharing smiles, even whatnot, and they do to others, uh the pay it forward concept. I call it, you can borrow this if you like, the old Pantene ad effect. Remember that shampoo, they tell two people, then they tell two people, then right sooner or later, then you have a movement. Acts of random kindness are part of being a good Christian if you're Christian, or just being a good human if you have no faith at all, wanting to sow good and make this world a better place. And and indeed, it create that's part why I created the show constitutionalist to create a movement of positivity and kindness, not this oh peace, love, hippie, can't we all get on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Real, realistically can still be kind, right, right. Not everybody is, but we can at least try to be, right? We can control what we can.

SPEAKER_02 18:39

I can't I can't control what other people do. I can control how I react or act towards them. I can control myself most of the time. Every once in a while we mess up life.

SPEAKER_01 18:49

Everybody's entitled to a bad day. We are all entitled to bad off days. That's why Martin Luther King Jr., content of character and biblical grace comes in. People can have a bad day, you have to give them a second chance. Maybe they're the nicest person in the world, but they were an honorary SOB that one particular day because they didn't get any sleep and got up on the wrong side of the bed. They were out of coffee and they were just in a lift mood that day, right? But other days they're fine. In fact, in one of my books, I go into that where uh uh is it Doug, I think is the character name, is that mean, honoring, nasty SOB, a mass hole, as I call them. And you just gotta avoid those people. You if that's their character, just avoid them. Don't let them drag your good spirit down.

SPEAKER_02 20:43

That's right. That's right. That's so good. You know, I love that song that talks about giving grace to other people. You know, the mom on the bus and her kids are running wild, you know, instead of looking at her as being a mom with undisciplined kids, maybe she just came from the hospital where her husband's dying and she doesn't know how she's gonna make it. I mean, he talks about different things. The old man who who maybe wasn't paying attention and and almost ran into you. Give him some grace because maybe his wife just passed away. You know, you talk about someone who's who's can't figure out what's going on, maybe someone who's been bullied in school and everybody's just been attacking them, and it's just been one of those massive days to say and and they're just so unhappy and so sad. You know, sometimes all you have to do is just smile at somebody. Give them one of your smiles. I I can't believe how many times I've heard somebody say to me, Your smile today just made me feel so much better. I was having such an awful day. Thank you for that. Yeah. Um, or saying hi. You know, there's the story um that a creature told that he watched this guy, you know, every day he goes back and forth to work, and this day, as he was passing him on the way, he said hi. I hope you're having a good day. The guy was going home that day to kill himself if nobody said hi to him. And all it took was one hi. I mean, that's no effort on our part just to say something like that.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

I share exactly a fictional kind of quasi-same story in my The Book of Kennedy Project Carpideum. Kennedy, female lead, isn't quite feeling it that day, but she forces a smile, fakes a smile to Sam, who is at the ice cream place with his daughters, divorce day with his daughters that day, and he's contemplating death. But that smile she gives him makes his day, and it's better. And he goes on to get remarried, and their child then goes on to cure cancer. What role did that one small smile play? It made all the difference in the world. Kennedy doesn't even think twice about it, but she saves a life and helps cure cancer. Small matter.

SPEAKER_02 23:24

Yes. And you may never know the kindness that you show someone how much of an effect that's gonna have a ripple effect on them.

SPEAKER_01 23:33

A butterfly effect. To quote another movie, the butterfly effect. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 23:39

That's exactly that was a really intense show.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

I love those movies. Those were great. Yeah, but it's like it's a wonderful yeah, it's like it's a wonderful life, too. Right? All those movies are meant to be way over the top, overly dramatic, to make their point. We're not going to have a clearance to show us what life would be like without us. And nor are we going to have likely saved somebody from drowning, who then goes on to be a war hero, or stop a pharmacist from poisoning a child which destroys two families. Small things, as you and I are saying, add up and matter. The sum total of your life will be small things that add to the big number on the other side of that equal sign in the equation of life and your entry in the book of life or not.

Grace, Self-Reflection, And Growth

SPEAKER_02 24:44

Yeah, absolutely. And I love that you have that Kennedy character who says, even though I'm having a bad day, I'm going to try to smile. Because that really does help your attitude too. Um it's it's amazing that we can have a better day because we can laugh or we can smile. I mean, you know, readers I just always talk about laughter being the best medicine. And it is when you start laughing, even if you start fake laughing, you just start laughing, it starts changing things in your body. Yeah. And and maybe the thing that helps you the most, especially when you're having a bad day, is to smile. Is to just stop and say, That's it, I'm tired of having a bad day. I'm just gonna smile. Smile, everybody wonders what you're up to.

SPEAKER_01 25:38

Yeah, I also share my life philosophy in my books. I have my characters repeat, things could always be better, but they could often be worse. And that story of that forcing the smile came out of basically an episode I did with Bullseye the Clown. They could find that in my back catalog. Bullseye named Bullseye because he was the target of bullying growing up. So he became Bullseye the Clown to talk about bullying. And indeed, a story he gave when in Russia, none of them could speak the language, but they would smile and play with the rubber chickens and give away little rubber, right? And he could just tell the woman walking by pulling right next to nothing in the grocery cart, looking down and depressed, and waving and smiling and handing her a rubber chicken through the window, and to see her light up, just not a word exchanged, but that changed her life, I bet that day.

SPEAKER_02 26:50

Absolutely, absolutely, you know, there's so much tragedy in the world, and if we're always looking at the bad things and the sad things, we're missing so much more. Um, and I know they're there, I know it's terrible. We've got this war that's going on right now, and it's devastating on both sides, but we've got to look at there is gonna be good things coming out of this. Things that we aren't gonna know about maybe for years, maybe we won't know, maybe our grandchildren will know that um you know, I I have an illustrator for my my book, Baxter's Heart, that's talking about the loss of a pet. And this book actually turned into be a book for adults. I wrote it for children to help them go through the grieving process to understand. And I'm surprised that the adults who are so glad I wrote it. They go, I had no idea what was going on. This helped me go so through it so much. But getting back to my illustrator, she's from Ukraine, and she is actually in this new volume, volume six, that I'm accepting submissions for right now, the giving book. And she talks about the good things that has happened amongst all the terrible things going on in the war there, and it's still going on. You know, they still have raids, they still have blackouts, they still have Russia hitting their power plants. You know, we think, oh, we don't hear anymore about it, so it must be over. It's not over for them. But she has such a great attitude, and I she said something to me, and I said, Is it okay if I put this in my book? And she was sure. So what I actually did is I went back over our conversations and took out the parts that were just relevant to what she said, and then I had her read it to okay it. I won't ever do anything without anybody's permission. And she said, I am so glad you did this. To be able to go back and see my thoughts and what went on through there. What a blessing. I didn't know I was gonna bless her, I know that her story is gonna bless everybody else, and it's a short story, but with all of this together, it just made so much perfect sense, and it's like you just never know what your message maybe you have a photograph with a quote. Um, I have in my my first book, I have a gentleman who had an upside-down ketchup bottle, and on it he called it Awesome Sauce, and then he has a little image of him there, you know, one of the avatar images, and it was just so cute. I mean, it just makes you laugh looking at it. So you never know what you're gonna say. The memoir, the photograph, the art piece you're doing. My grandson, who um is autistic, he does anime work, and so he's in my book, and and he loves it. It's like, well, I'm a public, you know. This is great to be able to give people a gift, and like I said, it's giving all the way. We need we need to give from our heart every day, whether we get anything back or not. You know, that's that's one thing I like about this book for my part. I the only thing I'm getting from it is just the pure joy of being able to help other people get their message in a book. You know, I'm not getting any monetary value from it. But it's I wouldn't give this book up for anything.

SPEAKER_01 30:09

Okay, well, time is flying, so we've talked about the giving what we've taught, which is good. We've touched on indeed the you have great value in you, you are worthy, you are enough, you do matter. Despite the Stuart Smalley idiocy, that being a joke, we we mean it seriously. Uh we've talked about the giving book, the Baxter book. What other books have you got?

SPEAKER_02 30:38

Oh man, I have I have probably can't list them all, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:43

No, and I'm not gonna ask you your favorite because that's like asking a parent which is your favorite child. But yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:52

I don't have my favorite is the next one I'm writing.

Where To Find LS And Closing

SPEAKER_01 30:55

Yeah, right. For marketing purposes, my favorite is the next one. I I joke about that. I'm currently working on my fifth, my 13th overall, fifth in the life and living series, tentatively titled Loss, Dealing with You know, Loss as Part of Life. Uh and indeed I've released it's probably not coming out till May, but I've already it's pretty much written it'll just be a short story, so I can make it a 99 cent Kindle ebook exclusive. Something inexpensive, right? We're all tight on money. So uh just a short story, it's mostly done. So I've been pre-promoting it, and indeed it it's real. Most people, when they're promoting like their film, right? Oh, this is the best movie I've ever done, the best my best work, and then next movie they say the same, and next movie they say the same. But but when I say my next book is indeed, wow, so important. I I I really mean it. I'm not just saying it for marketing and promotion reasons, the same with what you're saying. I hear you, and we do.

SPEAKER_02 32:14

We get better with each one, we learn more, you know. Every day we're alive, we're learning something different, we're learning more, we're continuing on. I know when I was a kid, the older people, and and to me, you weren't old unless you were 70 years old, you know. When I was a kid, some people said 30 was old. It's like, no, 70 is old. And uh, but they would say, learn every day, don't quit learning because when you quit learning, you start dying. And I thought that was just the weirdest thing I ever heard, but I totally understood.

SPEAKER_01 32:47

No, literally, the brain, the brain is kind of dying at that point. It it it your body craves. Yeah, your body craves caloric intake, your brain craves uh neural intake, yeah. There you go. Exactly, exactly right. So it's like five alive, more input, more input. Right from Johnny Five from Short Circuit, yeah. More input. Very, I'm glad you made that reference. That's great. I love that movie. That was great. Johnny Five Alive, yeah. So I I haven't said your name enough. Thank you, LS Kirkpatrick. I appreciate it. Do you have a website for people to find you?

SPEAKER_02 33:35

I do. It's lskirkpatrick.com and it's the letter L, the letter S Kirkpatrick.com. Um, you can see all my books, almost all of my books are on there. I've got a couple that I've done that I haven't got up there yet. Um, and you can also find me on books.by and the slash lskirkpatrick. Um it has my new volume five giving book on it.

SPEAKER_01 34:01

Wonderful. Thank you, LS Kirkpatrick. I wish we had more time. I try to keep my I try to keep my shows around 30 minutes because I it's the Twitter attention span or TikTok, right? Everybody just give me the headline. Well, details matter, people. The headline can be deceiving. The TikTok short leaves out a lot of important information you really need to know to have an informed opinion. And we are all entitled to our own opinion. You are not entitled to your own set of made-up facts. Opinion matters if it's based on reality or unicorn fart fantasy, I'd like to say. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 34:54

This has been so much fun. I love that.

SPEAKER_01 35:00

Yeah, I'm definitely not your average podcast host. And I don't know, I don't suffer the sin of hubris. I go into hubris and my CTP3 and CTP4, Christitutional's educational theory. Uh, I say that with all humility. Others say that of me. I don't say that of myself, right? Yeah, uh a big difference there. Uh, I a lot of this stuff comes from above. I am just the vessel that types it out. I'm sure you probably feel the same way a lot of times.

SPEAKER_02 35:39

Oh, absolutely. I get woke up. My golden hour for writing is three o'clock. I get woke up, I have a pen and pad beside my bed, I write the idea down, and if I can't stop writing, I just get up and finish the story. And a lot of times I'm I'm finishing the story as my husband's going off to work.

SPEAKER_01 36:41

You point a finger, don't be wagging it, because three of your own are pointing right back at you. Are you able to self-reflect? Remember, the Bible says, remove the log from thine own eye first. Right, Michael Jackson. Yeah, exactly. Michael Jackson's, I'm starting with the man in the mirror, or Rick Springfield. Similarly, in his prayer song, I send a prayer to heaven for the chance to be a better man than the man I see in reflection in my mirror. Start with yourself, do good, so good. Melania gets a lot of grief, but her be best program is a wonderful thing. Start with yourself, be better. Yes?

SPEAKER_02 37:36

Yes, absolutely. Because that's who you're around all the time. And you have to give yourself grace. You make a mistake, you blow it that day, you're angry that day. So what? Give yourself grace, forgive yourself, love yourself. Tomorrow's a new day. The next few minutes are new minutes.
