I think its mindblowing how she says shes never seen a wedding there And a couple of podcast later.. SHE SEES A COUPLE GETTING MARRIED IN THE PARK 😂

This man has revealed more of his inner self in 30 minutes than my bf and I throughout our entire relationship.

This is great. Make me think of a quote from the movie click. "Remember the leprechaun, the one from the cereal ad, he's always chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, when he gets there at the end of the day it's just cornflakes."

Wow. That interview was incredible.

Awww...I agree so much with the life scare to clear up bullshit. I always say, it would be nice to have young and otherwise healthy people have one major health scare. So they are still able to heal completely. But they'd value life so much differently. I have a progredient chronic condition that has me mostly bedbound. So I lack many of those regular things, like seeing a park, smelling the grass and just enjoy a nice day. If I get that every now and then, my joy is literally off the charts. So in terms of personal happiness, it helps to know what it feels like to not be able to have them. Another thing is super helpful. My body image shifted big time. I've experienced being unhappy about how my body parts look earlier in life, but once I experienced body parts fail, this becomes so meaningless how something looks as long as it works well enough. I have gained gratitude on a crazy level, which boost my personal happiness more than could ever imagine. I highly recommend at least the last part, which ever way you can achieve this. My view on life and death shifted as well. I am coming on 44 years old. My life span is likely to be shortened. But I really don't care. I am now all about quality vs. quantity and I manage to mainly be relatively happy and content. Also I do have friends who share their lives with me, sharing their experiences. Because they know, I am able to enjoy it. Some people get jealous, seeing people do stuff they cannot do. But to me, humankind is somehow connected. Jealousy is pointless to me. This guy is so interesting. Thanks for sharing all your experiences!

Wow! As someone with heart failure I can't explain what it was like watching this but I'm so glad I did. I am with him, if it comes down to it I want my heart in a jar too! I don't find that weird. I appreciate the miracle that it would have kept me going as long as it did. And anatomy is just so cool. So glad these two encountered each other on this day. PS it feels weird that we don't know his name! A first name would be great, but maybe he chose not to provide it.

"The limits of your efficacy can be extremely painful". How true is that!

Love what the first guy said ...he does not have time for silliness ,this is his bonus round living this life ..

Hey, Thanks stranger :)

I have to say, Thoraya…. Your mission, and everything you are trying to convey through your channels is everything I want to be and do in life. You probably won’t see this, but it’s an HONOR to watch your channels and to listen to everything you put out into this world. You are an angel with empathy and your compassion/passion, and I’m so grateful to be a fan/follower. You are making this world a better place and I’m so proud of you and everyone in this world who is like you.

That first person is miraculous. I had a 5% chance of surviving childhood cancer . I survived with daily nerve pain etc. He’s wonderful. I love him. I’ll face the pain tonight with just a quarter of his bravery.

Bob Hope in Palm Springs California on one Christmas Eve. It’s a fantastic story where I walked into a jewelry store and we ended up having tea just he and I but here the giggle I was 11 and my parents were walking ahead of me on the street and I looked in the shop and said “ I see Bob hopes nose” and they said “of course you did “. They kept walking and I turned around and marched myself into the shop, introduced myself and he asked me where my family was . I told him they kept walking he said well let’s close this shop down and we will have tea until they come back and find you. Turned out he would go out on Christmas Eve every year to have a gift made for his wife. That usually assured no one would notice as so much else was going on until a little girl catches him !!! So we sat and had tea off a silver service set and when my parents finally came Lookong Mr. Hope stood up, walked up to them and said oh I’d like you to meet my dear friend Paula Marie … 💜💜💜

I just found your channel today and feel like it was for a reason

Wow. When he spoke of having Richie’s heart! So, so powerful. I’ve often thought of transplant recipients and how they must think of the person who died and is now essentially living on, in part, inside of them. As a mother myself, I can understand why it took ten years for the parents to reach out to him.

Last time I faced death was this year when I looked the wolf in the eye while I was wandering through nature. (still innocent)

…i am blown away…he is so right in so many ways….we all have to re~think success…I did it years ago and I am so much happier for it!

I had just watched number 11 and the guy ask about the most interesting person you had met and you said this guy. I totally see and understand why. This was a great interview!! Interesting, intelligent, fulfilling, pleasant and the guy was a total rock star on life.

This guy needs way more likes :)

Incredible interview and a great retrospection of this gentleman. Makes you thankful, makes you think, makes you appreciate life and better your time. Keeps you sober-minded. Like he said, you live life with no time for silliness from the standpoint of foolishness and nonsense. A very intriguing listen. Love what you do Thoraya. You are making a beautiful difference.

Sooo you wanna tell me, that this amazing man has no cooking podcast?

Oh Thoraya, I wish you could do video Hey Stranger Episodes as one of the ways I serve humanity is I am an end of life doula. One of my happiest convos is always about death. I plan, prepare for, do the anointing band burial and aftercare for loved ones. I would love to share it with you and how I can assist in transforming peoples fear of death into conversations of hope and actual the normalcy. Our convos can speak of life and death and raise children to have that in every day topics. Your service to humanity is revolutionary through the power of our narrative search for connection and community. Thank you for the light you are beaning into the world. You are loved and appreciated. Paula Marie Alberta, Canada

What a wonderful man, with a deep understanding of the meaning and values of life. Love how he speaks and formulates..

He said.. I’ve never learned anything profound when things are great. I hope I never forget that quote.

I love this

This is one of my most favorite episodes ✨

That was absolutely amazing, what an interesting guy!

These interviews are fantastic. Essential listening. Truly amazing.

Riveting, what an astounding conversation!

This is so inspirational! When you are so Ill, you really do feel like not living. I love his story!! Life in the bonus round is so real.

This gentleman perspective on life in general is so spot on… it is so many little things that are really most important… watching kites… his take on the internet is exactly the same as I felt… when it came along… I thought it would make the world a better and smaller place where people would exchange ideas and learn from each other… but instead people screwed it up and bully each other and spread conspiracy theories and do little to make the world or anything better. I don’t do any social media except for UKposts… I do agree with his take on food… Anthony Bourdain… said… if you want to get to know a people… share a meal with them… you learn about their culture, food and themselves. Glad that he survived and his life was put into perspective… so rewarding to hear. I can’t imagine what it must have been like to meet the family of his heart donor… the emotional feelings must have been incredible. I hope he remains well and as in touch with his sensibilities as he was in this podcast… Thank You for this…🕊️ 🌜🌞🌛

I can relate to this man alot. I didn’t know i was born with a heart condition until but did have signs as i started fainting at 9/10 due to my heart stopping and at 28 years old had to have a pacemaker placed

Such an interesting guy with extraordinary story!!! 👌🏾

Hi from Greece.I like the honesty and pure love that you approach people, making them express real feelings. If you ever come to Greece, I would suggest you visit small villages, especially in Crete and talk to people who lived and survived after World War II, since their stories certainly have a lot to say, not so much about the war, but for the meaning of life.

Another incredible interview! Thank you both for sharing! As a young adult, I can relate to the problem of striving for money and "success." Stories like his really do help put things in perspective. One stranger I still remember... I was trying to do an ollie on my skateboard last year. I was a slow learner and getting frustrated. One day, a stranger riding a bike yelled "keep trying!" as he passed by me. That was so small, but it made a huge impact. I repeated his words the rest of that day. They still come to me now as I practice more tricks. Thank you to my stranger and to all the other kind strangers out there. You do make a difference.

This man struck my heart and I began to cry. His words confirmed what Ive always felt. Thank you 💓

I feel lucky that I meet him too via this UKposts channel, changed my day....

I loved this podcast, listened the whole way trough and back, keep it on!

This man has lived some lives. I love how he says he's been so lucky!! Thank you for continuing to share the best of humanity.

What a kind Soul, what an interesting man. For me my chronic physical illnesses and mental health issues gave me the same gift as this man talks about; stepping out of the rat race and being able to live in the now, notice all the beautiful 'small' things Life offers, enjoying observing your own growth, enjoying having time for people and what a gift that is, being grateful etc. Free. I got the word tattood on my chest. Thank you, sir, for sharing your story ❤️

This is the coolest man alive!

This is the most moving interview I've watched on your channel. I could listen to this guy talk all day. He's had an eventful life. And he's very articulate. I'm amazed that you happened to interview him.

What an incredible human being! Great interview! Such an amazing life and outlook! Thank you!!

Can’t get over how much I Love his energy, completely agree with him and I can relate. I’ve almost died a few times and yes!, it does change you! 💜💜

I’m impress how Thoraya can make people open up so sincerely and keep telling their story. Sometimes I want to connect like that with people that are not close to me and a notice that I end the conversation sometime trying to do the opposite. This man is pretty great too, interesting life and he tells it’s very well. It’s nice to hear him

its 3am and im binging these with watery eyes

Its the same thing with epilepsy, having seizures.feeling as though i could have a seizure and everything could come crashing down.

Thank you so much, both of you.

wow, this is an amazing ep

This is a fantastic video - Thank you Thoraya for your work! i

This the BEST interview yet!

Wow!! This puts things into perspective.

Love your interviews Thoraya❤

I love your channel so interesting 💕 keep it up there's so many interest people in the world x

This was great 🥰❤️

God bless you and your family. You are a breath of fresh air. Big hugs.

Your channel and these stories have brought me such peace and comfort. Thank you 🌻

I learnt so much in one video! Amazing. Im going to look at quality time and food differently now

This is my favorite episode ♥️ What a great man

Wowww !! This is so powerful and raw Absolutely amazing

What a fascinating man who is such a joy to listen to his story, ty so much for sharing. And ty Thoraya for your passion. Big hugs to you both

Awesome! Everyone should have the understanding and clarity about where life's priorities truly lay.

By far my favorite interview ❤️ what a remarkable person. Such a compelling story that I couldn't look away.

Beautiful.

I just found you a couple of days ago and I think that what you are doing is amazing. I could relate so much with him. I too had heart failure but luckily not as severe as his. I'm laying here feeling secure with my pacemaker and defibrillator. I feel like I'm just starting my second life since I have enough energy now to get up and around. What he said about what he discovered is important and what to get rid of really helped because I feel like I'm still mourning my life before disability. He is amazing. Thank you both.

What an interesting person! I didn't want it to end ! 👍👍👍

So profound!!❤️

I pray that God blesses you these short clips are amazing and such a blessing to hear these different walks of life

Thank you Thoraya! I love this human!❤So enlightened and so alive and grateful.when he said the most painful is the realization of the limit of your ability to help people in the midst of their own crisis🙏wow accepting the limits of my own efficacy can be very painful...such wisdom so simply stated💞💞🍀

Wonderful.

This podcast is my favourite along with episode 11.

This man is unbelievable God bless him

What an amazing man and an incredible interview 💙I loved it so much be present ! Each day even if it’s only for a hour find someone or something in every day that makes a memory and a smile 😊 thanks for your film / work I love it ! 🙋🏻‍♀️💜

Hello thoraya I'm new to your channels and I just wanted to say I love your videos and want to thank you for being such a kind Beautiful amazing person and for sharing your heart and kindness with all of us and the rest of the world 💙🙏💜✨💫⚛️☯️🕉️☮️♾️🌸🌺

Thoraya, you have such a gift. You're truly an incredible young woman/ I've just come across this video from a couple years ago and wow, I am bowled over by your talent. Blessings to you in 2024, and Happy New Year.

Love your fleece jacket, Thoraya😍 would you be willing to share the brand or link to the webshop? 🙏 ❤️ Thank you for opening up for the human vulnerability. It's liberrating and a work of love ❤️

I had a majority of my colon removed recently and they wouldn't let me keep it, they said it was classified as "toxic medical waste". Man, I would have loved to have my old organ in a jar, I don't know why, but yeah....it would have been cool to me. Great interview featuring topics we really need to talk about much, much more often. :)

Sometimes we don't see the greater things in life. I think it has to do with what you have gone through in life and what generation you are from. Like this generation is more into technology and taking 🤳 and colorful fashion. I grew up when baggy jeans were in style peepers were the thing so I can relate to those days. Know my 19 year old is into skinny jeans and i phones 📱 so i think that your generation and the time zone you grow up in has a lot of what you going to care about in life. Also your age and what you have experienced in life itself. Like if I talk to my son about my teenage years he'll hear me out. But probably wouldn't understand or see things the same way because he didn't live in that area. He is living in his area so I think sometimes people have difficulty understanding each other when they are from a different age range. Like for example as a kid i use to play outside with other kids from the block. Ride bike with my friends play spin the bottle. Know it's stay at home on your cell phone or playing video games it's a whole different ball game. But at the same time you got to respect it because it's there generation and there memories. I think thats what is most important your life time memories because when you die it's all you taking. To me family is what's more important and the time I can spend with them you never know when it is over until it's over. Even talking to a stranger sometimes could bring you some clearness or healing communication sometimes we just need someone to talk to.

What a human. Wow.

You still have to reconcile your self to what your circumstances allow you to deal with . Your point of eference is always changing and it requires a form of mental gymnastics to dance to th music of your life . My husband also had a heart transplant , o I can identify with some parts of his story .

This is a man I would like to be friends with

I must have been around 10 years old maybe 12 years old and my grandmother had blown to our house from New Hampshire to Oregon for the summer and my Mom and Dad decided let's go to Reno for a week so we had a really cool hotel with a humongous pool and my parents would take shifts to stay at the hotel with us kids while one of them took my grandma to the casino somehow my grandmother had met this really cool younger couple Frank and Patty I can remember their names and they had a Volkswagen bus and all they did was travel so they ended up following us back up home to Oregon and stayed in our driveway partied in the backyard for about a week I think they kept in touch with my parents for a while but I remember those two weeks being happy and loud and music playing and lots of laughter and it was great but yeah My Grandmother Had The Gift of Gab and probably could meet anyone and my parents were always open to meeting new people so growing up we always had a house full of people❤❤❤❤❤

WOW beautiful soul

we all have a story

Wow.

Hey stranger simply,let’s meet up

I like this stranger.

Him and I could definitely get along .. I too compare food to sex 😂 what this man lived through is mind blowing & makes my heart so warm how much gratitude he shows for that child’s heart. Definitely is living proof that you really have to live everyday like it’s your last 💖💖

🙌🏻

My comment wasn’t displayed. UKposts has become disappointing for me.

If he couldn’t see cuz his retina was burned how could he see how the people in the car were dressed?

If you think about it we are dying every day from the moment we are born so you have consider everything that happens past day 1 a miracle.

The tower burning green was tge copper burning.copper burns green

At 6 months old my lungs crashed and I almost died and that was the second time at birth I almost died . Then I got raped at 8 by my brother so I blocked it out from myself so life moved on. That led to a lot of life long internal pain and bad habits and damage and 3 more rapes 2 I was drugged for. Then at 16 I got pregnant and then at 18 again and both times the males ran . So there was no time to do any self reflection or work .I just lost 57 pounds and am physically changing alot and see males looking my way and I just move on but a huge part of me fears being a 5 time rape victim. I already have no justice or closure to the last 4 so I live with a zapper with spikes in my purse because I will not go to prison unless its for a blacked out self defense . I will spend time if I need for that. I would kill to see his heart I think its so grate that he did that. I have a metal cage heart I wear that has a 22 bullet its not a heart but it was from the first animal I ever had the chance to help clean and cook and eat some of when it was fresh the way it was ment to be . I have a ton of those kinds of things in my life. Yet I still feel like my life is a train wreck . I have no self confidence and can not understand things like relaxing or happiness. I do not fear death at all. I feel quite friendly with death and am very much so waiting for its return . I will never forget the hugs the two different strangers that have hugged me at diffrent times . I almost died falling off a roof and woke up to a board with a nail sticking up that was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes . I did not go to the hospital. I heald my ribs over time but still have a floating one and pain . The world is a brutal.

He is my kinda people

✌😎👍 I was Free!

👍👍

I thought he was going to take his glasses off at least at the end …i dont appreciate people wearing glasses that prevents us to see their eyes through a interview , to me it is less genuine if we cant see the eyes or facial expressions

She thinks it’s so gross that he keeps his heart in a jar 😅

There is a way to have eternal LIFE! Repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He will wash you clean, give you a new heart and the gift of eternal LIFE in heaven with Him. Sin is what brings death upon one. The wages of sin is death. But you can have LIFE through Jesus. He paid your wages when He died on the cross because He loves you and desires for you to live with Him for eternity in heaven. Call out to Jesus and ask Him. Ask Him to show you the Way to everlasting LIFE. He is that something that fills our soul. He is what each of us is searching for. He is LOVE.
