Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you are in the world. It’s Dr. Jan Fortman with Relationship Matters TV. I hope everyone is having a beautiful morning, afternoon, or evening. Here, it’s kind of warm. I know in a lot of places all over the world there is a heat wave. In Arizona, maybe 25 people have died because of the heat, and I think it’s gone all the way up to 118 or something. They measured the heat in Death Valley, and it’s 125. I can’t imagine. We were out, and it was 92 degrees, and it was like just going from the car to the house. My goodness gracious alive. But we’re here, and we’re blessed to be here. So today, this evening, I am in Chicago, so it is 92 degrees. I haven’t been with you for a couple of weeks because I was in London, England, and also Paris. I was in London because I was invited to speak at the Global Woman Summit. All I can say is that it was an awesome experience. I met so many inspiring women, making seven and eight figures, young, motivated, and pursuing their passions and goals. It was amazing. Now, what was the most amazing part? I’m going to show you. I think I showed you before, but I’m going to show you again. Okay, come on. Ah, there. That was what was so amazing, that I got to share a stage with Deepak Chopra. OMG. I was on a panel about reaching your full potential. We had to answer if we thought we had reached our full potential, what it smells like, tastes like, looks like. We also had to give advice to the women there on what questions they could ask themselves and what it meant to fulfill their potential.

Today, if you looked at the announcement, I’m supposed to have a guest, and hopefully, she will be on. Her name is Lori Adams. She is a caterer and also my personal chocolatier. She is a master chocolatier. When the women found out who she was and what she did, it was like OMG. They were so excited and elated. What I really was thankful for was that I got a chance to inspire especially the young women. I had to let them know that at my age, the age of 81, you should still be trying to reach your full potential. You should still be following your passions, following your goals, striving forward. A lot of them who stopped and talked to me were amazed, number one, that I was still moving around. They felt inspired to keep going, to keep moving. The theme of today is really about what obstacles are there, what obstacles come in front of you when you’re trying to reach your full potential. I’m going to tell you a story because this is all about the obstacles.

First of all, about two weeks before I was to speak, now mind you, this is in front of 300 to 350 people, women and men. About two weeks before I was to leave, I broke a tooth. Where was the tooth? Yeah, no, here it is right there. How am I going to stand up in front of 350 people with a big hole in the front of my mouth? I told some of my friends that, and they just laughed. I thought, why are you laughing? This is serious. So what I had to do, now this was like on a Saturday, I’m walking around with this big hole in the front of my mouth. You know if you have a tooth missing in front of your mouth, you can’t speak like you know, you kind of lisp. Anyway, I had to find a dentist. My dentist couldn’t take me, so I found a dentist who was an emergency dentist. He gave me a temporary tooth. He said, okay, this tooth should last you. Did it? No. About a few days before I had to leave for London, I had to go back because it fell out again. They put some kind of cement in there and said, okay, this should do it. I felt really great, but let me take some Fixodent with me just in case.

Now I’m in London, sitting at the front table in the VIP section. The CEO of Global Woman Summit, of Global Woman Club, she’s calling the different speakers to come up to the stage and introduce themselves. It’s at a dinner, and I’m eating. Guess what? I don’t know what I bit down on, but it wasn’t anything hard. My tooth fell out. It’s like OMG, I can’t go up there on that stage with a big hole in the front of my mouth. I got up, and there was a man sitting next to me. I kind of like, oh, he turned around. He looked at me. He was one of the sweetest. He said, what’s wrong? I said, oh my God, oh my God. I said, I gotta leave. She can’t call me. I can’t go up there. I got up, holding my hand up like this, you know, like they do in church, like excuse me. I went out and was standing in the lobby. I don’t know what kind of look I had on my face, but different people came up to me and wanted to know what’s wrong, what’s wrong. This one woman came up to me and hugged me. She said, what’s wrong, Dr. Jan, what’s wrong? I’m going to show you a picture of her. I was hugging her. I said, I had to leave the dinner because I know Morel is going to call on me, and she can’t call on me because my tooth, my front tooth fell out. She said, oh no. She hugged me tighter. She said, it’s going to be okay, it’s going to be okay. She said, well, where is the tooth? Do you have the tooth? I’m like, here it is right here in my hand. Oh my God. It’ll be all right, it’ll be all right.

Okay, so now I gotta go to the bathroom and get into the bathroom, but I gotta have a mirror because I gotta put the tooth in right. I gotta hide because I don’t want anybody to see me putting a big tooth in front of my mouth. Finally, I put the tooth back in my mouth. I’m like, I’m not going to eat anything. I never did go back in the group because I wasn’t sure whether or not the tooth was going to fall out again. So now the speaker, there was a speaker up there, and I have this, I’m going to show you a video. His name is Dr. Fab Mancini, but it might be Mancini, but it’s Mancini. He’s a living healthy guy. He has a radio show, he has a podcast, he’s a mentor to millionaires. When he finished, he came out because I’m still standing out there looking like. He came over to me, and I told him. I said, you know what, you were speaking to me. I could hear you out here, and you were talking about the obstacles that come before you when you are really trying to accomplish something, when you really are trying to go into your purpose, when you’re really trying to manifest your dreams. Obstacles always come before you. He said, but you know what, Dr. Jan, when it’s time for you to speak, you go out there and you slay it. Don’t even think about that tooth. I said, because I don’t know, I just put some Fixodent in here, and it might fall out while I’m speaking. He said, don’t even think that. You go out there and you slay it.

Now, talking about obstacles, I had the most rewarding time at this Summit. I met so many women, made so many contacts with women from all over the world. That’s the one obstacle trying to keep me from reaching where I wanted to go. That’s the first obstacle. Now, the second obstacle was my assistant, who I don’t know where she is because she’s supposed to be on with me right now. Let me tell you what happened to her. She’s supposed to be there to video my presentation, and because she is a master chocolatier, we were going to share a table because I had a vendor table, an exhibitor table also with my books and my programs and stuff like that. She’s calling me, she’s texting me because I’m wondering where is she. Guess what? She had to fly to Paris and then from Paris to London. She gets to Paris, and I don’t know if any of you have ever been to Paris, and I hate to say this, but that’s the worst airport in the world. It’s huge. The majority of the people don’t speak English, so you’re trying to find your way around, and the terminals, it’s almost like you have to drive to each terminal. She finds out that she landed in the wrong terminal. She’s trying to get to the right terminal. Nobody speaks English. She’s having a fit. She misses her flight. Okay, so now she has to go and try to get on another flight. She tries to get, so now she’s got to go through, I guess, a whole bunch of whatever. Now she gets another flight, and just as she gets to the gate, they close the gate and wouldn’t let her on the plane. Now she’s texting me, I don’t think that I’m going to be able to get there in time, blah blah blah blah blah. I’m like, what are you going to do? The next flight doesn’t leave here till tomorrow. I’m like, tomorrow? I guess I don’t know what I’m going to do. So it ends up she has to get a train. She got a train from Paris to London. When she gets there, of course, I’d already spoken. She’s got all her luggage with her. She looks all harried, hair a mess. She looks like she’s going to cry, and I’m like, Lori, ah, obstacle. This is an obstacle. It’s in front of you because you’re supposed to have a great, great, great, great, great experience here at Global Woman. So that meant she had a plane to Paris and then another plane she missed, and then a train. Okay, so that’s two obstacles that were keeping us from doing what we wanted to do in London. I always said I wanted to speak in Europe, and she always wanted, she’s a flight attendant, and you would think that they would have been nice to her, but they weren’t. So all these different things, they were coming before us.

Now, on the way home, we left London and then decided that we would go to Paris for one day. That was great. We had a really nice time, Airbnb, sightseeing, and all that kind of stuff. Now it’s time to come home, and I look at my ticket, and I said, okay, I’m in terminal five, you’re in terminal four, so we can Uber the same Uber. We get into Uber, we get to my terminal, he tells her, I can’t take you to terminal four. She says, well, why not? You have to get another Uber. You know what? It took 10 minutes for her to get another Uber. Now I’m in Paris in the airport, I’m checking my luggage. The little lady who’s on the computer to check my luggage, I guess she was new, she didn’t know what to do. She said, I can’t give you your ticket because I can only check one of these bags. She’s asking the lady next to her, of course in French. Then she tells me about going back upstairs. I’m like, what? Of course, I can’t understand her, so she had to get someone to translate English. I gotta go back upstairs, pay for this second one that she didn’t know what to do with, come back down. Guess what? Nobody’s at my gate. I’m running, and it’s like I have missed my flight. Now my flight was to Dublin and then Dublin to Chicago. I’m thinking I missed my flight. Well, they had changed the gates, and of course, you know, they’re announcing it over this weak, I don’t know what they’re saying. Finally, I get someone, and they say gate whatever. Now I’m running to that gate, and Lori, my goddaughter, my assistant, is standing there talking to somebody. She said, I was just going to stand here and just, I was talking to the managers, they make a loud, you put a loudspeaker on the family. All right, so it was so many people, they had changed the gate, and the flight was late, which is why I didn’t miss it. Now I get to Dublin, and I’m looking, and I’m like, I try to run to get this flight to Chicago. Flight gone. I call my husband, I cried, my foot cast, you know, be calm because…

Well, it just so happened that I finally thought, you know, you stop people, oh, I don’t know, isn’t it someone at the gate? No. So finally, I found someone at another gate, and they looked on the board, and they said, ma’am, no, that’s not your flight number, that is the time in European Time. This is your flight number. You got four and a half hours before your flight leaves. Needless to say, what I needed was a drink, but in the Dublin Airport, they mostly sell beer, and I didn’t want any beer. So I did have something to eat, and finally, I got home. So it was a wonderful experience. I still have a temporary tooth, which is why I’m talking all kind of funny, but tomorrow I go and get a permanent tooth because it’s hard to eat on the side of your mouth. Really, yeah, it’s hard to eat on the side of your mouth. But I can say one thing, the good part about all of this as far as my tooth and eating and couldn’t eat too many things, I lost weight. Not that I want to do, but I lost weight, and I thought, okay. So what I want to do now, I want to just show you a quick video of Laurie and I in London, England, and in Paris. And guess what? She’s calling me on the phone right now.

Lori Adams
Hello, hello, I’m here.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
They can hear you, they can hear you because I am on and you’re not here.

Lori Adams
Well, no, we’ll just come on, just come on when you can. Okay, come on, come on now. She’s coming on now. All right, Lori, bye. To talk about her chocolates. Before she comes on, you know what, her chocolates are amazing. She hand makes chocolate. Do you know anybody who hand makes chocolate? Before the video comes on, and they asked me what does it taste like when you are trying to reach your potential, I told them, first of all, I love chocolate, and they laughed. I said because when I’m eating chocolate, I am pursuing my passion, I’m pursuing my goals, and how satisfied I am when I reached my goal. Oh, wait a minute, Sandy Barney Ennis in Paris has the rudest people who choose not to speak English most of the time. I didn’t want to say that, Sandy Barney Ennis, but you are so right. When I would be trying to ask, they would, you know, if they didn’t speak English, they would just go and, or, and it was like, and they are, I had heard that, but yes, they were, they were not nice, and the Uber drivers weren’t even nice. When we were going to the Eiffel Tower, we, now you put it in the Uber, right, but the streets are so whatever, and he was, we didn’t know where he was taking us, and so we said the Eiffel Tower, so, and we kept saying Eiffel Tower, Eiffel Tower, and he didn’t know, excuse me, what we were talking about. He acted like it, he didn’t know what we talked about. So finally, you know, I did like this, I said this, this, and he said, yeah, and he said it really nasty, Eiffel Tower, and I’m like, okay, but I know if he’s an Uber driver, and I’m sure there are a lot of Americans who say Eiffel Tower, not efl Tower. So anyway, I don’t know what’s taking her so long to get on. I sent her the link, but anyway, so what I want to do is show you the video that we made, just, um, just about, it’s just like a little summary of our trip to Paris. I’m good. I don’t, I don’t know what happened to the music. It just came on at the very end, but the person that you saw me with, the man, that was Dr. Fab Mancini, Mancini, who was really, really instrumental in putting me, you know, bringing me down, and the woman that you saw, uh, that was Layla, and she’s from, um, Dubai, and she was the one that hugged me and told me that everything was going to be all right. So what I wanted to do, I, I want you to join in, and I want to, for you to, to tell me, just to give, have a, I want to have a conversation as to what obstacles have gotten in your way when you were trying to do something that you felt was really, really, really important. So don’t all put in the chat at once, but just, just, I really want to know, and, and how did you overcome those obstacles? What did you do? Did you give in? Did you, or did you overcome them? What did you do? So I’m going to give you a little time to think. I’m going to play a couple of commercials, and, um, when I come back, I want to hear what obstacles have come before you when you were trying to really accomplish something, and did you overcome the obstacles, and how did you overcome the obstacles? All right, so don’t go anywhere. We’ll be right back.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
I’m back, and I don’t see it, so no one out there has had any obstacles to overcome? Let’s see. Okay, here’s someone. So Sandy Barney Ennis says, when I was working on my dissertation, my chair quit on me. I wanted to give up, but God said no and sent me some angels, and I made it through. Yes, Sandy, yes. You know, there are angels out there. Someone was talking about that earlier today, about angels, how you can have an angel, and you don’t even, you know, you don’t even know that, uh, that angel is, is, is there. Now Laurie Turnette says, hello, hello. Maxine said, so you were running in the airport, hahaha. Yes, yes. So Lori, hello, but what you were supposed to do was click on the link, and the link will let you in. So go to your email, click on the StreamYard link, and it will let you in. Okay, so that was Sandy. So who else? Anyone else? Let’s see. Oh, okay, I got a text here, and the text says, oh, a cancer journey can be an obstacle for your life because it is life-changing. The tests, radiology, chemotherapy, and the fear, and that’s very, very, very true. So that is an obstacle. So the person text me and tell me how you overcame that obstacle. And Sandy, you’re right. You know what? God will send you some angels. He’ll send you some angels, or either he’ll put that thought in your head. And Maxine says, Maxine, because I was running through the airport. So, okay, let’s see. Uh, here’s some other, um, but I can’t see them because I don’t have my glasses on. But anyway, so I know that there are some of you out there. Now, if I could see your names, you know, you know me, I’ll call you out, but I can’t see your names. I can only see the numbers. So be glad I can’t see your names because you, you know, think about it. I’ve told people that. Oh, ah, oh, oh, oh, hi. I am here. So how are you? Yes, yes, forgive me, but I am here.

Lori Adams
I’m well, I’m well. I am so happy that you’re here. Everyone, this is Laurie Adams, and she says sugar please is here. So Lori, what is, now that you’re here, what is sugar please?

Lori Adams
Sugar please, there’s a little bit of, um, delay. It’s, uh, when I’m talking.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Oh, it’s okay. I can’t see the delay.

Lori Adams
Okay, uh, so sugar please, oops, sorry, start all over again.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Okay, that’s okay. Go ahead.

Lori Adams
Okay, so sugar please is a full-service catering company, and, um, we started the company in 2008. And, um, we have a unique catering options. It’s a catering boutique, so we think…

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
You hear the delay, but we don’t hear it.

Lori Adams
Okay, and so you’re catering, but what do you cater?

Lori Adams
All kinds of food. So, um, what we do is we have a unique twist on some of your Southern favorites. We do a tamale, we call it the soul roll. There’s collard greens and smoked turkey tamales. We do a curry chicken salad, so, um, curry chicken salad cups. So we really try to make some of your favorites and add a gourmet twist.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
What about your truffles?

Lori Adams
Yes, I’m also a chocolatier. So, um, yes, I’m a chocolatier. We have a, um, a brand, a line of custom truffles all made to make your favorite paper pie. For example, uh, we have a red velvet truffle, a, um, butter pecan truffle, sweet potato truffle, uh, orange Dream. Well, all of the truffles are amazing. German chocolate truffle, yeah. I am a chocolatier. I’m looking to move forward and progress from, uh, bean to bar at some point, but we do offer a line of truffles. We have boxes, four-piece boxes, and, uh, 24-piece boxes.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
So I got a text, and it’s Maxine, and she says, hey Lori, my guy really liked the man box. And then she said, remember the cigar box you made?

Lori Adams
I did, I did. So I do custom gifts as well, so we published everything. So we have questions, yes, and, uh, we have what we call a, um, a gentleman’s box. And in the gentleman’s box, we have, uh, two cigars, a miniature bourbon or whatever, um, maker of your choice, uh, and two bourbon truffles or corresponding truffle. So if the gentleman prefers tequila, tequila truffles to put in that box. So it’s a beautiful gift box. It’s, uh, I actually take a cigar box during Father’s Day or anytime really.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Wow, you can put tequila in a truffle?

Lori Adams
Absolutely, we can put whatever into a truffle.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Oh, so, so, uh, Lori, uh, well, first of all, hello, uh, Lois Dean Woods Walker. You made a request, and it’s on its way. That’s all I got to say. Alrighty. Okay, so now you have a question here, Laurie. I see.

Lori Adams
Okay, I, I welcome all best friends, all best friends.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
I thought I was the taste tester.

Lori Adams
You can be the taste tester too. I can have more than one taste tester.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Yeah, but it might not be enough left.

Lori Adams
Yeah, and I’m currently working on a non-dairy option as well for those lactose intolerant customers.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
I appreciate that. Now Lori and I were in Harrods in London. Yes, and they have a whole huge department, and it’s nothing but chocolate. So it’s chocolate from all over the world. Yes, and I am lactose intolerant, and what happened, they pointed me to some lactose-free, some dairy-free chocolate. It’s from Switzerland. OMG, he said it was marvelous. Yes, they sell it by the slabs. They don’t sell it in little whatever, they sell it by the slabs. So he said, do you want to taste? I said, sure. So I tasted the hazelnut. It was so good. So I bought maybe a third of a slab, and guess what? It’s gone. Like, I ate it all. I think it was more than a third of a slab. Then he said, do you want to taste the almonds? I said, sure, and I bought another third of a slab. I put that in the freezer, and then he said, well, I have another one for you to taste, uh, a, what was it, raspberry or something, a blackberry, a blueberry. I told him, okay, I’m tasting it, but I’m not buying anything because it’s very expensive. But Lois Dean wants to know, Lori, um, do you ship?

Lori Adams
Okay, she does ship. Uh, I do ship. We ship, we do ship FedEx, uh, so that’s just…

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Okay, so Lois Dean, I will connect you with Laurie Adams. And, and, uh, Lois Dean, Laurie Adams is Barbara Mason’s daughter from the AG.

Lori Adams
Yes, this is Robert Mason’s daughter.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Yeah, so, um, what Laurie, you did not see the video, and then some people came in late. Okay, so I want to show you the video. Uh, I, what I try to do was have music to it, but, um, it only came in at the end. So, but I still want to show you the video without the music. Okay, now I was going to show the video. Okay, let me, okay, okay, all right, I’m going to show it now. First, I got to bring you on to make sure you’re here. Okay, you’re here. So now I’m going to show the video. Okay, okay, all right, okay, okay.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
I have the music for the whole thing, but I didn’t. But look, let’s talk about those shoes. Yes. Now, ladies, I know you could see how those shoes were made, and I thought, so it was a booty, and so I did take a picture of the back of it because then you could see the booty. How much did those shoes cost, Lori?

Lori Adams
Uh, they were over a thousand dollars.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Yeah, they were over a thousand dollars. Can you imagine? So what we did, we went into this mall, well, it was a store, and we didn’t know it was an upscale store. And it’s a huge department store, I mean, as large as Macy’s down, uh, in, in Chicago or the big Macy’s in New York. And we were looking at things, and we were picking up purses, four thousand dollars. We will, nothing in that store but designer clothes, designer shoes. We spent quite a bit of time in there, quite a bit, but looking, looking. And then we went to Harrods, and we spent quite a bit of time in there. And, uh, London is, is, is really a great place to visit. So Lori, tell us, well, first of all, here’s another comment before I ask you this question. Uh, okay, so tell, what did you think about the, the Summit? What was your experience?

Lori Adams
You know, I guess what stood out for me was just the exposure to all of these powerful women that were, um, in the room. So my experience was, you know, it was being in the room with power players, and it was one of the most encouraging experiences for me personally. But there was so much, um, there was just so much love room. Um, you know, everybody, you know, you all must have the opportunity to talk with other women who are like you needed, no matter what. So businesses ranged from multi-million dollar businesses to sometimes smaller money, but we were all as a collective, um, we still were all on the same page, and nobody who never felt, um, intimidated or out of place or uncomfortable because we still all had the same role in mind, and that’s winning. So, um, it just, you know, kind of showed me that, uh, you know, anything is possible, no matter where you are in your business, um, anything is possible. I mean, and also that your story, your story is so important. Some of the stories that the women shared, you know, I mean, coming up from zero to, uh, multi-millionaires. So, um, if ever anyone has a chance to attend something like this or this, uh, please, you know, especially if you’re trying to, you know, if you’re struggling through your business, if you’re not struggling through your business, this is something that should be a part of maybe quarterly, but just a part of your, um, business plan is getting yourself to our Summit, something that will need your mind on your, in your business. So that’s kind of my take.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
So before you came on, I was talking about the obstacles, and I told them about your airport journey, and Sandy Barney Ennis has been to Paris, and she said, she said, this is what she said, I want to put it on there again, right?

Lori Adams
Yes, yes.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Do you agree?

Lori Adams
I’ve been there three times. I agree, I agree.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Yes, so I, I, uh, in the beginning, I started talking about the obstacles, uh, that were placed in front of us, that we overcame the obstacles without food, and right, I’m talking right now, I don’t want to really smile too because I was, I was eating at Portillo’s today, and it fell out. So I thought, I hope it doesn’t fall out. But I was, I told him about that obstacle with my tooth, and I told them about your obstacle with the planes and the trains, but how we both overcame those obstacles. So what do you attribute to the fact that how you overcame your, that big obstacle? What, what do you attribute it to?

Lori Adams
You know what, um, you know, I guess, uh, just to keep pushing and, um, also God, and I mean, you know, timing is everything. God is the best of planners. You know, it wasn’t there to record, but that still didn’t stop, um, uh, Dr. Fortman from, uh, you know, getting some things she needed from this community. So just, just to keep pushing and praying and staying focused on whatever goal you have. There was no way I gave up. If I had to take a train, I flew into a different airport crying. So plane, trains, and automobiles is, is the theme of the trip.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
And, and that’s true. And you know what, not only in our professional lives, but even in our personal lives, don’t, you know, don’t let anything stop you. There’s a person I know right now who is, who has let life just knock her down. And, and it’s so important, number one, to pray to whoever, you know, whoever you pray to, to have faith, to have faith in yourself, to listen to positive self-talk, not to beat yourself up, not to say to yourself, oh, I’m so stupid, oh, I’m so dumb, oh, I can’t do that. You can do anything that you set your mind to if you really, really, really want to put, you have a passion, personal or professional, you have a goal, personal or professional, you know what, it’s almost like put blinders on, be, and, and focus and say, you know what, first of all, listen to the universe, God, whatever you want to call it, higher power. And when you hear that, go for it because he’s here, or some people say she, but that’s right, but, but, but it, whatever is here to give you everything you need. There is abundance, there’s abundance in the personal life, there’s abundance in your professional lives. So if, so this, this was really the point of the show to, to, to tonight, to talk about obstacles, how to overcome them, uh, using here, your, your inner strength and there to overcome it. Because if it wasn’t for God, you know what, number one, I wouldn’t have found a dentist to put, give me a tooth on a Sunday afternoon.

Lori Adams
That’s right, that’s right.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
On a Sunday, I found it on a Sunday, and he said to me, uh, he said, you know what, I’m the only thing in town, and I’m like, yes, yes, I really, really, really appreciate you. And the fact that you made it to the, to the conference, to the summit, that you received when you said you were a chocolatier, I thought they were just going to pick you up and drag you home.

Lori Adams
Right, and, and have me for dessert.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Yeah, it is, and it’s a really, uh, it’s a testament too about, um, you know, we have all that we need inside of us, and, uh, for us to really explore that, um, you know, whatever gifts, talents, strengths, and that you have, you know, really sit with yourself and kind of explore that. It’s, it’s, you have what you need inside you. It’s just a matter of, you know, um, letting it out, so to speak. So, yeah.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman

Thank you so much. Thank you for the experience. Thank everyone that’s listening, and this has been so enjoyable, the time that I spent with you.

Dr. Janice Hooker Fortman
Well, I appreciate it. Have a beautiful, blessed rest of you. Bye, everyone. Okay, so that was Laurie, and that was my personal chocolatier. Now, next week, I want you to be here. I met this woman at, um, the Global Woman Summit, and she talks about The Fifth Dimension. I thought she was talking about the group. Uh-uh. She said that in two years, and she really believes this, she’s saying that in two years, this is going to really be interesting, that the world is going to have a huge shift, and that in a sense, and, and she’s going to explain it really better than I can, we’re kind of all going to disappear, but we’re actually, we’re going to come back, but we’re going to be communicating not verbally. So, um, anyway, you want to be very interesting. She has a very interesting take. I can’t really, you know, explain it, but because that’s it, what are you trying to say, we all gonna die in two years? And she said, well, not really. So it’s called The Fifth Dimension. We’re all going to be in The Fifth Dimension. It should be a very interesting show. So I hope to see you again next week. I’m glad to be back in Chi-town, and, uh, I want everyone to have a beautiful, blessed rest of your morning, afternoon, or evening. And remember this, the how of the way you communicate is the why of your relationships. This has been Dr. Jan Fortman with Relationship Matters. See you again next week. Bye-bye. I’m gonna eat a piece of chocolate.
