Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Lovely people of the world that I just made a very interesting extremely interesting person right here spontaneously in my spontaneous existence I'm telling when you open your life everything come see every good come my dear would you please introduce yourself here to beautiful people around >> uh my name is Lesie I was just here having um some coffee and a donut with my daughter and we got to talking u we've actually met before just chatting chatting around the around the place and uh so we just got to talking again.

[00:00:34]>> Yeah. And then you and me that tried to simplify people's existence somehow to come there accidentally, right?

[00:00:45]>> Could you experience could you tell us one experience that you did last week?

[00:00:49]>> Yeah. Just >> Well, I was just driving. I was with my two youngest kids. So they are six and three and um we were turning a corner and we saw a man kind of hunched over like just standing with his hands on his knees leaning down. At one point he grabbed his chest and I was just watching kind of >> Was he drug?

[00:01:07]>> I don't think so. No, I sat and I watched um just to kind of assess the situation because you know I had my kids with me and so I tried to be a little extra cautious and um you know I decided no, he didn't look like he was on drugs or anything and I um rolled down the window. I said, "Are you okay?" And he said, "No, I'm not." And I was like, "Oh, shoot." He'd been grabbing his chest. I was afraid he was having a heart attack. And he said, "Well, haven't eaten in two days."

[00:01:33]Okay. And we had gone um we were running out the kids McDonald and got we had a taco left from Taco Bell that my kids didn't want to eat. So, I gave him that.

[00:01:41]And then he mentioned that he was trying to go get something to drink. So, I said, "All right." And I had some cash.

[00:01:47]I never carry cash, but I had some cash on me at the time. And um you know I gave him a few bucks and we were just chatting and um and you know I ended up giving him a little more money. He mentioned he could go and have somewhere to sleep or he could go and get more to eat. Well, which would you choose?

[00:02:04]>> And um and I just happened to be able to not have to make him choose. He um we had actually talked for probably five or five or six minutes and he told me he'd lived there for 34 years and uh they call him Woodbury Jerry and he was just talking about what's going on in the world and >> um you know he's looking to get a job up in Hunt Valley at the the W job in that kind of ship but at least you gave him life.

[00:02:30]>> Yeah.

[00:02:31]>> You showed him that he's okay.

[00:02:33]>> Yeah. Just a, you know, a person who's down on their luck is still >> absolutely >> is still worthy of our attention and and our compassion and we had the chance to do that.

[00:02:43]>> Did you think he changed his mood at that point?

[00:02:46]>> I hope so. I hope so.

[00:02:47]>> Did you give him a little extra?

[00:02:48]>> Yeah, just a little bit of just some human acknowledgement, right? Some human connection that, >> you know, he said he told me like 30 people had driven past him >> and said, "Well, I wish you luck." And maybe that was all they had to give.

[00:03:03]But >> can it?

[00:03:05]>> Yeah.

[00:03:06]>> Rejection.

[00:03:08]>> Yeah.

[00:03:09]>> And then you gave him some life, my dear. And how did you feel about that?

[00:03:13]>> How did I feel? I mean, I felt good. I like that my children also got to see like just kind, compassionate, human connection because I think like we get taught to be afraid of other people.

[00:03:24]Absolutely.

[00:03:25]>> That if you talk to somebody, they're going to try to hurt you or take something from you. And >> it's all about ego, my dear. ego is the one that get scared.

[00:03:34]>> Yeah.

[00:03:34]>> Life doesn't get >> you understand.

[00:03:37]>> Yeah.

[00:03:38]>> So this is beautiful. And then what do you think are the most important things in life?

[00:03:44]>> Um I mean I think really connection right is so important. Um and like I think a willingness to like trust.

[00:03:54]>> I think we have to be judicious. We have to be smart. we can't be naive and put ourselves in situations that are risky.

[00:04:03]But I think a lot of times um when you lead with like a willingness to trust and um find connection first then things things work out better you know for all of us like as humanity I think when we can be in connection with one another and trust in each other's humanity.

[00:04:26]that is beautiful my dear but it's all good intention that connects us >> you know >> good connection >> it comes from good intention if your intention is good making mistakes you're not proper >> we all make mistakes >> absolutely >> we can correct it quickly but it's also the ego that stops people from correcting their mistakes you know what I'm saying >> absolutely >> and they suffer >> Mhm. Why do you smile? And thank you very much. You can tell the people what you want them to do. Put the plate on my >> I mean I'm smiling because you know I have three kids and you know sometimes I'll find myself getting a little impatient and I can hear in my head like this is not really about what they did.

[00:05:12]This is about me being frustrated or me feeling like I don't have the level of control I want. I can hear I like feel it when I'm upset with them and and it is it's ego, right? It's like I want to be the one who like wins or whatever. Um >> ego >> and I'm a teacher so I've learned like if you're going to try to get in a power struggle with kids, >> you're you're probably not going to win.

[00:05:37]You have to lead with connection and you have to lead with like care, right? Like when my students know I care about them first, then they care when I'm upset with them.

[00:05:48]>> You know what I mean? like it matters more. They can take you as other mother or whatever or to me when I was teaching >> kids they were calling me pops >> instead of teacher you know that made me feel good you sit outside the kids are sitting >> but when you go to class >> you better >> so that connect >> that's it though I literally have students who call me mom they'll walk in in the middle of my class in front of everybody and say hi beautiful.

[00:06:20]>> Um because they do and they know, but then when they're acting up, I'm like, "What are we doing?" Because they know that um that I love them and then and then like you can teach and lead better. I think as a parent too, although I think it's harder for me as a parent sometimes.

[00:06:37]>> Well, because you got your own kids. But to me, when the kids call me papa >> pops because come on, >> why not?

[00:06:46]>> Yeah.

[00:06:47]>> All of them are my kids.

[00:06:48]>> Yeah. Well, I look at >> I just cannot see young kids thinking about doing something wrong >> without interference.

[00:06:58]>> And then you're going to see some in my videos also things like that.

[00:07:01]>> I'll check them out. Yeah.

[00:07:02]>> You understand? But one thing you have to know I do in other language and then it's like 50/50 that I was >> complant to now because it was a political thing that I was doing the last four years.

[00:07:16]>> Oh gosh.

[00:07:17]>> Terrible thing. I I just want to trash everything up.

[00:07:22]Bombardment, fighting, killing mothers, kids.

[00:07:27]>> I'm not part of it. I don't think you are it.

[00:07:30]>> I don't want I mean I mean no way.

[00:07:32]>> How what do you what do you advise people to be in this really troublesome mental condition? Everybody's worried about the situation in Iran or not. And I think there is personal life also.

[00:07:46]>> Yeah. But you got to live your life.

[00:07:48]What do you think people got to do at this point in time?

[00:07:53]>> Um I mean I think like not not becoming complacent, right? Like I think we have to stay in involved, stay energized and active. Like you can't just ignore it.

[00:08:05]It's not going to go away. Um and I think that you also have to really like take care of yourself. like finding the opportunities to connect with people in your own community and um you know not become like insulated and like turned inward so that you don't connect with the humanity around you because I think that is probably the the worst thing we can do is kind of turn inward and ignore the people around us because we're so upset about what's happening beautiful baby. You want to say something to the office?

[00:08:41]>> Oh, your hair girly.

[00:08:44]>> Um, >> I hope we go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:08:46]>> You want to turn it off? She's just watching videos. Um, but no, I think that's the thing like we have to um, you know, we have to just continue to seek out like the humanity around us. Um because I think like that's a lot of what people lose their energy from, you know, like we're watching all these awful things happen around the world and sometimes it just feels easier to like ignore it. I think >> I mean it's >> what I'm saying is I'm just looking at that. I was doing things like where does it end?

[00:09:20]>> Right.

[00:09:22]>> Human beings will fight. I think that's what their nature is. I have no idea.

[00:09:28]And then another news comes, >> another one tells something, the other one comes here. Oh, this bump this. Come on, man. I don't want to be part of this, >> right?

[00:09:38]>> I got to get out of here. Like, but how do you get out of the out of this? I don't want to have any excuse to ser, >> right?

[00:09:49]>> Because I can always make myself happy.

[00:09:52]I think so.

[00:09:53]>> Yeah, it's hard.

[00:09:55]>> I mean, I think it is really hard. But I think, you know, there's a lot to be sad about and angry about and worried about. And >> I don't know. I guess that's kind of the journey that we're all on is figuring out how to like hold suffering and pain without allowing it to like steal our peace and to like >> it's beautiful >> to like weaken who we are >> because those things will take away your power.

[00:10:22]>> I love the way you put it.

[00:10:24]>> Yeah, exactly. just go inside and get the best out of it instead of looking at external stimulation >> because the way I look at it people seem to be excited about problems about violence did you know about the bombings that happened it's killing kids >> it's killing people it has become like fun you know as if it is our duty to just watch people's disruption everywhere Nobody.

[00:10:55]>> Yeah, >> it's very hard to control it. But it's okay. If you go inside, you can do it. I really appreciate.

[00:11:00]>> Yeah.

[00:11:01]>> I don't want to take a lot of time from you, baby.

[00:11:06]>> She's just watching her.

[00:11:07]>> She's watching unicorn.

[00:11:09]>> I hope I'll see you here.

[00:11:11]>> What's that?

[00:11:11]>> I will see you here.

[00:11:13]>> Yeah.

[00:11:14]>> Tell them your name, too. Tell them your name.
