Welcome back to another episode of Organized Chaos, Season 2: Permission Granted. Here on Weigh-In Wednesday, I'm gonna be talking about tears, crying, healing, freedom. This last couple days have been super interesting, so I have three different stories, and I really hope you listen all the way through, because I know that it's a powerful episode. So enjoy.

So this has been an interesting week because I have cried at least twice, and then I have held space for three people to cry. And that's not my normal. I don't just like, "Hey, who needs to cry? Come cry on my shoulder," kind of thing. So I found that super interesting.

So the other night, it's around 8:00, and it's summertime, and, you know, it's still sunlight out, so I was like, "Okay, it's time to go take a walk." So I go outside, and I do my walk thing, and then on the way back, um, I'm looking down at my phone, and then all of a sudden I, like hear, like a car kinda like just going really fast. And so, um, I like turned around really fast, and the next thing I know, there's like someone who's out of the car, and like yelling at that person, and then the car like zooms away, and it's this girl, and she's like a teenager. And then she's like kinda just walking in my direction, but she doesn't wanna cross me on the sidewalk, so she kinda starts like crossing the street. And I'm like, "Hey. Hey, are you okay?" And she's like, "No." And I'm like, "Come here right now." And then she crosses the street again and comes to where I am, and I like just give her a hug, and I'm like, "Breathe. It's gonna be okay. Whatever happened, you're gonna be okay. It's all right." And I'm just like giving her a hug, and she just starts bawling, and she's crying and crying and crying. I'm like, "Take a deep breath. It's okay. You're safe here. You can cry." And we're standing there for at least like a minute, and then I'm like, "What happened?" And just goes, "I got in a fight with my boyfriend and blah, blah, blah, blah, and I was just yelling, screaming at him like I wanted to get out of the car. And then he finally like let me out of the car." And, um, I was like, "Okay, well, um, I can call you an Uber or give you a ride home, like, whatever you feel safe with." Like... But prior to that, I was like, you know. She, so she was crying, and then she told me what was up. And then I said, "Do you have someone who can pick you up? Like, where are you going? Um, how can I help you?" kind of thing. And she's like, "I just wanna go home, I just wanna go home." I'm like, "Okay. Well, is it safe? Like, c- I can give you a ride or call you an Uber. Like, what do you need right now?" And she's like, "I just, I just wanna go to my grandma's house." And I was like, "Okay, great." Uh, I was like, "Uh, we need to go get my car. My house is, like, right over there, and then I will... I'll take you there." And she's like, "Thank you so much." And then, so then we're, like, walking, and then, like, this other lady that didn't see any of this, um, and she's, like, walking her dog, and she's like, "Oh my gosh, I love your shoes." And she was talking about, like, my bright orange Nike shoes. And we, like, had a conversation with her. And then we went to my house, and then, um, I, um, basically just... We... She's like, "Your house is so nice." I was like, "Oh, well, you know, thank you." And then, um, she's like, "You'll see my grandma's place. It's just a trailer. It's not even, like, that nice." I was like, "It doesn't matter. Like, the point is you have somewhere safe to go." And then she got in the car, and then it was only about, like, eight minutes away from our house, so took her to her grandma's house and, um, her grandma was actually in the shower, so she was able to go inside and feel safe. But, like, when I was leaving, she was just like... Um, oh actually, no, this was cool. So we pull up into the driveway, and she's like, "Oh, that's my dad's van and my grandma's car." And I go, "Oh, that's my birthday, 9/22." So on the back of the van was my birthday number, September 22nd. And she's like, "Oh my gosh, an angel number. Like, I so, like, believe in angel numbers." I was like, "Me too. That's awesome." And then her, um... I guess it was her... Yeah, I assume it was her dad or her uncle. I actually don't know. But, um, he had answered the door, and she went in, and I was like, "Hey, like, you know, take care of yourself. Like, like, you deserve the best in life, and you don't... Nobody deserves to, um, to go through what you went through, and I hope that you can make better choices and break up with him," and stuff like that. Um, but I had said all of that, um, before we made it to the grandma's, uh, house. So just, like, encouraging her and, like, reminding her that, like, she's valuable and she matters, and nobody should ever s- yell and scream or do XYZ. Um, and that she deserves more, and that she has her whole life ahead of her, and it doesn't matter that she's been with this person for five-plus years. Um, that it's time to start a new chapter, and no idea if any of the words actually landed. When I was saying goodbye after dropping her off at her grandma, she's like, "You seriously are an angel. Like, you have no idea how much this means to me, and I just hope that all your dreams and all your wishes come true." And I was like, in my head, I'm like, "That is like the nicest thing anyone has ever said." Like, to have that much thought and love and care for someone after she had just been through this traumatic event, and then to be able just to, like, kinda, like, spit that out when I was leaving, I was like, "Wow." I was like, "Thank you. You as well. Like, you deserve all the good things life has to offer you." And with that being said, like, you never know what people are going through, and you never know how life is gonna turn out in, like, um... I don't know. I'm basically saying, like, wherever you go, be kind to people. And if you can help someone, take the two minutes and ask them, "Hey, what's up? How are you doing? What can I do for you? Can I give you a ride? Are you safe?" Like, I could have done absolutely nothing. I could have just seen the situation and let her walk by and like, "Oh, that's sad. She's crying." You know? But no, like- You need to realize that God will put you in situations where you get to step up and be love and light to the people around you, to complete strangers, to be that angel for someone. So, uh, pay attention, get off your phone, and notice the world around you because there are people all around you that need your love, your light, your inspiration. And, um, I just hope that I end up running into her in, like, a year or two or five years and that her life is completely changed and transformed for the better. And I, like, am so excited to see that hopefully she made a better choice and, like, completely, like, done with this dude and, um, realize that how valuable and special she is and that she deserves a life beyond her wildest dreams and imagination as we all do. All right. So there's my story.

Speaker 3 5:15

The other experience that I had was I was somewhere, and I saw one of my friend's kids, and I was like, "Hey, how are you?" And she's like, "I'm all right." I'm like, "Oh, hey, sounds like you need a hug." And she's like, "Sure." And so I gave her a hug and, you know, I've known this person, it was perfectly fine. It wasn't anything, like, weird or whatever. And she starts crying, and I'm like, "Oh, like, what's up? What's going on?" She's like, "I'm just emotional," and like, "I have a lot going on with XYZ," and blah, blah, blah, blah. And, you know, that's all it takes. Like, when you see someone and you ask them what's up, and they're honest with their answer, that's always a time to say, "Hey, would you like a hug?" And go in for that hug because you never know what you're gonna unlock by actually seeing that person for human. We shouldn't always go around like, "Yeah. Hey, I'm fine. I'm great." Like, I'm definitely guilty of that. But, um, every now and then, if someone's like, "Hey, you know, like, I'm actually not okay," and just ask if they need a hug. If they choose to cry, great. If they don't, great. It doesn't matter. The point is that you were there for them, and you gave them a hug, and that little, small gesture, you have no idea, but that could potentially make their entire day. Um, and then the second time was my, my mom was leaving 'cause she had-- she's been here, and my stepdad have been here for the past, like, week and a half or so. And it's been great having them here, and it's been so supportive and loving and great. And then when she was leaving, we were, of course, both hugging and crying. And she just-- she reminds me like, "Hey, like, Shavona, you are so tough. You are so brave. You're so amazing. You're doing a great job." And to be there and receive that I just said like, "I know, and it's hard." Because it is hard being a mom. I mean, I'm so thankful I have my husband to support me and the kids and our crazy schedule and stuff, but it is hard being away from supportive family. And I've said this many times, but my family's all on the East Coast, and so the last time my mom and stepdad came out to visit was prior to COVID. So they haven't been out here in like, what? Seven-plus years or something like that. And which is fine because you learn how to manage and do stuff, and you have support from, you know, your baseball community or your horse community or whatever different c- church community, whatever you're in. You know, you learn to lean on that support. But it's completely different when you have the support of a mother who comes in, who knows how to help clean up the kitchen and manage things and hang out with the kids and have all these fun experiences, and, "Oh, hey, let's go shopping," or, "What do you wanna do for fun?" Or, "Let's go take a walk," or, um... So it's like completely different when you have the support of a mother who truly, obviously knows you because she's your mom, but to help around the house, to help with the kids, to clean, to help with cooking or preparing food. Like it's so different, and so it's-- The one thing I've been thinking about is like when support shows up, are you ready to even receive it? Does it feel awkward? Do you just say, "Oh, no, I got it," and like you don't help- ask for help at all? Like for this week, week and a half while they were here, I was like, "Oh, yeah, could you help with this," or, "Could you do this?" At first it was like a little awkward 'cause I'm not used to having support in my house like that, or like it's getting-- like pulling teeth from the kids of like, "Could you please unload the dishwasher? Could you please do this?" Or whatever. But like to have someone who is your mom, who knows just how to do the things that you love having done around the house. "Oh, let me help fold laundry. Oh, do you want me to clean the bathroom?" Like whatever it is. Like my mom is such a giving mom, and I feel like that's definitely where I've learned those skills from. Um, but then to have that support leave and think like, "Oh my gosh, now I have to do everything," like not by myself because my husband definitely helps out, but it's just like, man, I wish they did live closer. I wish they could just come to a baseball game here and there, um, be there for the kids' different, you know, band performances that they got to attend. Like it was such a good week being with family and the-- Just like, I guess what I'm trying to say is hugs are healing and tears are he- healing, and it's okay to have emotions. It's okay to cry. It's okay to be fully human and to embrace all that life has for you, to take the help, to be in gratitude, to have fun, to release, to know that, um, people do really love you and they really do care for you. And the support is there, and then it leaves, but learning how to find support in other ways around the house. Maybe I just need to hire a maid, like a cleaning person once a week. Who knows? I don't know. But it was a really good week. Definitely a lot of tears on all different levels, deeper and then connection, and then kind of like randomness. So I hope you enjoyed that episode. I hope you remind yourself that it is safe to cry. It is safe to feel your emotions. It's safe to be a safe person for somebody else. And if someone says they're doing all right, ask if you can give them a hug. See, um, how that heals their heart, whether they say it or not. Know that I love you. Know that I'm incredibly proud of you. If you need a hug today, close your eyes and pretend I'm giving you a hug, and I love you, and have a great, amazing, fabulous, wonderful week.

I also need to share that when we are in alignment, our timing is so perfect. So I typically do not take walks that late, um, especially since my husband and middle child was out of town this weekend, so I had two kids at home. I'm not gonna typically leave the house at, like, eight o'clock and go take a walk. But I had been earlier that day at the farm, and the lady's youngest... well, one of her youngest kids was like, "And you need to help me organize my room." And so I was like, "Okay, let's go." So my daughter was, like, you know, hanging out with the horses and doing all this stuff, but we stayed longer at the farm, and she was actually, like, ready to go before I was because I ended up helping the youngest organize his bedroom. He's been asking me probably since the fall if I would take the time and help him declutter his room. He's, like, eight years old, and he just... I don't know. I feel like he thinks I'm amazing, but I think he thinks everyone's amazing. He's, like, such, like, a happy kid and stuff. So we were at the farm later than expected, so that, like, pushed back our whole entire schedule. And then so when I finally went on the walk, it was later than normal. But, again, I know I was in the right place at the right time being able to help this teenager girl who was crying and had just gotten out an argument with her boyfriend. So, um, I think sometimes we think, "Oh, we can't work on our goals or this, that, and the other thing," but I think it's that reminder is your goal and your assignment... No, more like your assignment is whatever is in front of you. And so it was loving and serving that eight-year-old and helping him declutter his room. It went amazing. Um, it took longer than expected, but that's okay. And then, being there for this girl and just And then, you know, of course, it's like being there for my kids, and this weekend I cleaned the house a bunch, and that felt really good. My point is your assignment is whatever's in front of you, whether that's a human or an animal or just yourself and a cup of coffee, and you're taking care of yourself, and you're taking time to meditate or journal. Or maybe it's just your cat. Maybe your cat just needs some extra love. Um, our cat, the other night, was like... I went to bed like way early. I went to bed at like 10:30 last night, and the cat was like so happy that he got to like snuggle and be with me, and it was like the cutest thing. So this is your reminder that whatever's in front of you, that's your assignment, to be present and be fully engaged because, again, you never know the life you're gonna transform by being fully present. And that's a reminder of me to get off my phone more, but showing up for the human in front of me, not the phone in front of me. So I hope that inspired you to go make some good choices and love on the people around you and be kind and loving and serving wherever you go because the world needs you to show up in that love and that light and in that energy. And it's okay to go to bed early also and take care of your own needs. Okay. Love you. Bye.
