Her experience with economic poverty, sexual trauma and the intense grief of her father murdered at age 13. The horrific story of her father being murdered when she was 13 due to race relations and how she was able to find immense peace. The voice she heard when she was sobbing over her father’s death and the death of George Floyd.  How the “Four Sacred Gifts” were birthed. Gift #1: The power to forgive the unforgivable.  Gift #2: The power of unity. Gift #3: The power of healing. Gift #4: The power of hope in action.  “If you use these gifts, you’ll know how to be in right relationship with yourself and all other beings.” Each of us already has these gifts—the power is in using them. What does hope in action look like in the Great Awakening? “With every breath, every thought and everything, we have a choice. We’re making that choice - it’s either going to be good medicine or bad medicine.” The important question to ask yourself: “What do you believe—are you separate or are you connected?” “We don’t do anything alone. You might get lonely from time to time—that’s the human condition, but you are not alone.” It doesn’t matter which gift you start with because they’re all connected—just start where your heart is being called. How to navigate the urgency with living in alignment with these gifts. “The doing and the being are all mirrors of each other; everything is connected.” Hope is an energy source. It can’t be taken away from you.  What Dr. Sanchez believes we should focus on this year.  The beautiful experience with her grandmother and sunflowers.  5 Things for Thriving In Challenging Times free e-book: http://foursacredgifts.com?afmc=1e
