I Miss You Mom, This is the End, the Craft of Caring, the Future is Gonna be Hot!

On this episode I talk about this being the end of this show and this era, the reasons for it, and of course, the unfortunate passing of my mom. I miss her so much. I'm grieving pretty hard right now, and while we have been slowly taking care of mom's affairs and this home, I'm left feeling both parts hallow and oddly optimistic. I feel gutted over the death of my poor sweet mother and the nature of her battle with cancer, and the harsh reality of her passing.

But we also know that, over time, this gives us a brand new chance for a life with fresh opportunities and a new, more lively vibe! As beneficiaries of this mobile home (it was always parlty ours, but now it's completely ours), it is both parts financially scary, but also exciting, offering a renewed sense of making this place feel joyful, bright, and whole again after a harrowing battle with cancer.

We're trying to turn the page and think mindfully about the future, while making sure that our finances are covered first, while creating a renewed sense of comfort and joy in this living space. My mom, who loved "her" living room, is now slowly becoming our space now for relaxation and respite, as we slowly but surely expand our newfound space and freedom, while honoring mom and her memory, and what we think would be her wishes.

This show was always about helping out regular people, the "working poor," the struggling lower middle class, and finding solutions to regular people's problems, and to find strength and solidarity in our shared reality. To offer hope and ways that we regular people can seek and find a more robust life and greater health, given financial limitations, and sometimes mental health baggage that many regular people carry from a lifetime of poverty, dashed dreams, and trauma. Here, I talk about what this show was all about, and my continued mission to be a salt of the earth helper, to maximize kindness and forward leaning values, and to be a cheerleader for all good folks who are just trying their best, but just need some encouragements, positivity, and hope.

This show means a whole lot to me, but what I wasn't expecting was that I would go through my own set of mental health and life issues during all this, and come to find that I need people and hope as much as we try to offer it to others here. This was always about building a community of like minded good natured folks who could be there for one another, to offer nuggets of wisdom, encouragement, and acceptance. But unfortunately, esoteric, emotionally intelligent and sensitive things like this are often met by general audiences with derision, apathy, or confusion.

But for many people, this channel was a beacon of positivity and tenderness, kindness meets hard knock life humor. A safe space for all misfits, weirdos, empaths, goths, spookies, and people who feel different out there in the world, that is filling up with cruelty and stupidity. For all intents and purposes, we wanted to be a solution to the madness out there, a place we could find clarity and answers together. To talk about ghosts and the paranormal, cryptids, portals, and nall unexplained phenomenon, but also important social issues, mental health support, being an empath or sensitive, but moreover, to just find a comfort in this life; to be accepted in a world that is going off the rails.

So we thank you all for your friendship and support! I'll miss you guys. I appreciate all of you! Mom, I love you, forever and ever!
