Yes, even the unfair things. But you can't have one without the other. You can't have love without having pain. You can't have highs without having lows. It's the only way we see we have those. And so that's why I've never questioned God. I've never questioned life. I've never questioned the beauty and the existence of waking up every single day and looking at the trees.
Like when I wake up and I feel the wind on my face, I just feel so blessed. I don't question any of it. I know that life is the gift. I've always believed it. I still believe it to this day. And I know my kids, that's what I want for them. And I know that life life through all of its lows. It's how you handle it. I truly believe that we're given a choice every day. We often hear the afterlife.
Are you going to go to heaven or hell? And yes, you can believe that. But I also believe that we have that choice here today on earth. Which are you going to pick? Are you going to pick your life hell? Are you going to pick your life heaven? And I choose every single day to say that this planet, this place I am at right now with my decisions and my choices is my heaven.
with how I look at the world, with how I use it, with how I see it, with the people I surround myself with, that the choices I make daily, the The way I see things, the gratitude I have, this is my heaven. And I can have a heaven after, but I'm not waiting for that heaven. I can live it now. And that's something I try to teach my children.
And I still think that life, even through your darkest moments and your darkest beliefs or the things you've had to experience, it's what makes life so beautiful if you accept it.
Well, first it breaks my heart to see so many people that haven't shared so many full parts of themselves with the people they love for so long. And they've walked around with this pain on their shoulders and tried shielding it from everyone to protect everyone around them. So it pains me.
But also that is what, you know, as we're talking about the beauty of life and death is Stephen was an example to people that we should choose a different way and we can be support systems and we can trust that we can still be loved. by the people around us if we just lean on them a little bit. And they're not going to see us differently.
So it also makes me really happy that so many people are willing to come forward now, especially these men that have been maybe on the brink of their own sadness and questioning themselves. And is this okay? I'm so proud of them for finally stepping into their full wholeness of emotions of
willing to share who they are and what they're going through and willing to go to therapy now and talk about it or reach out to their friends and check on them in a different kind of capacity now. I'm really proud of them for taking those steps forward. And I hope that we can just continue to encourage each other to do that. Because that's what this is.
That's what life is, is we're supposed to be a community of people coming together, acting like villagers, supporting each other, leaning on each other, letting someone have a low and experiencing it, but then how do we pull you out of it? Let's get you back. You know, we're not going to run from these emotions. We're going to experience them, but we're not going to sit in them forever.
We're going to find healthy tools to get out of it and support each other. And it just makes me really proud that the community is now coming together. I can't tell you how many support groups I've now known of friends that... I've had friends for years that are men that came to me like, I'm now in like a little social group and they meet once a week and they just talk about their emotions.
In Utah, I have one of my best friends. He now goes to a support group of men and they do sound baths every month. And it's just a place for them to go to meet up with other people that are maybe having a hard day and they do healing journeys together now through healthy mechanisms. And, you know, I've had so many letters of people saying that they opened up to their wives for the first time.
An uncle. That's so dear. I had no idea was so low cried to me. He just melted into my arms and was like I Understand Steven so much and I'm so sorry and it gave me the courage to open up now, you know And so I'm I'm grateful that unfortunately this happened to me my family But it's made an impact around the world to hopefully bring some change you share in your book that um through a psychic
I think he's proud of everyone. That's all he ever wanted to do was celebrate everyone.
else in their lives and I think he's really proud that people are bringing change and finding bravery in themselves to step forward and pick up these pieces and carry on through life I think he's really proud and I think he is proud of my family I think he's really proud of my children and I do think he's proud of me he's told me he is and he wanted me to do this I was so scared that is this the right choice because I hope people read the messaging of what I really want this to be
And he told me to move forward with it. And I did not tell this medium about this book. I did not tell the medium what was going on. I didn't tell the medium to try to reach for anything in this kind of department. He just said it to her and threw her to me. And it was a moment I'll never forget.
And it gave me so much courage that no matter what is said, I know I'm doing the right thing for the right reason. And it was both beautiful and scary having someone speak him and his words to me directly. And it was completely unexpected. And it was just something that I needed at that moment. And I think he knew I needed that. And so he came in again into my life and gave me the
encouragement and the right and not even permission, but just that he saw what I was doing and believed in it as well.
I have not danced at full capacity and I know that pains me and so many others to hear, and I know I will get there, but this has been a long journey for me. And I think what I've been doing the last couple of years is taking one healing step at a time and making sure I'm fully ready to embrace it. So then I'm doing it for the right reasons.
And so every step of this journey for me has felt different. Like I'm conquering something new for myself and conquering something new for my children. And I know I'm gonna get to that step, but I want to be there so bad. And I know I have so many people supporting me, wanting to see me there, and they're just waiting for that moment to happen.
