3:56

So now what projects are you working on at the moment?

Y

3:59

Yes.

Y

4:00

Uh, so going through all of that, I went through a lot of hardships, but it was a good thing because it made me like realize this vision that I have, like that God's giving me.

Y

4:11

And it was telling me I need to build the safe Haven.

Y

4:14

And so I'm really leaning towards.

Y

4:17

eventually getting tiny homes or mobile homes or something where I don't want an old place.

Y

4:22

I want a new place because when I see, my heart is when I see people that have this beautiful house with this beautiful pool, I'm like, oh my gosh, that's so beautiful.

Y

4:30

I love that their kids can have that, but I want everybody's kids to have that, right? So then when I built this place, I wanted to have like a beautiful area, Even I'm just thinking today because my kids are like, I want to learn how to drive.

Y

4:41

Well, we'll have a go cart place where they can play or the horse riding and and everything that a wealthy person would have.

Y

4:47

But everyone's going to pay rent for the land.

Y

4:51

And so we can afford most of that will go to those things versus just go to me.

Y

4:54

I want to provide this place where more people can be raised and have this beautiful, beautiful things that are so fun for kids and even us as adults where we can play tennis together and we can We can have more community.

Y

Y

5:28

And I'm going to start posting more about it.

Y

5:30

One is going to be faith, finances, and freedom.

Y

5:34

So helping people to heal spiritually, mentally, physically, which later the safe haven will also do that, but teaching people now how to get that freedom and that peace, even in the midst of darkness, chaos, and void, which I went through a lot of that in the last few years.

Y

5:48
