Children are so open with the energy field. They take in the whole landscape and not just that, but also the beautiful beings that live within it, especially the fairies. That's important to know because my guest has a huge smile every time the word fairy is mentioned and children. So stay tuned what she brings for you.
Hello everyone. I'm Meilin Ehlke, your host of the Moving to Oneness podcast. And please welcome with me my guest Angela Lee. She is in New Mexico in Tao in the mountains. And I was wondering. We both wear sweaters. As you all know. I'm in Germany and it's February and we're in similar temperatures. That's rare. So hello, dear Angela.
00:01:42 - Angela Legh
Hello. It's such a pleasure to come and talk to you again.
00:01:47 - Meilin Ehlke
Yes, you were here on the Moving to Oneness podcast once before. So everyone, she was one of the earlier guests already really believing also in my vision. And that's episode 60. So take a look. That must have been like three years ago.
00:02:06 - Angela Legh
I know it was a long time ago.
00:02:08 - Meilin Ehlke
Yes, but at that time we mainly spoke about what brought you to writing because you really are a writer and with your writing you want to touch a people's heart, give them support, but especially it goes back to children, so children can feel and be understood that they get seen by adults.
00:02:32 - Angela Legh
Yes.
00:02:33 - Meilin Ehlke
And this is something very unique. I think about you and that's what you started writing that three years ago your first book about the the Bella Santini Chronicles came out and I see there right behind you. So if you're on audio do could jump over to the YouTube channel, Moving to Oneness and take a look at the three books now. And I think you're writing now on the fourth book.
00:03:04 - Angela Legh
The fourth book is done in the series. Oh yeah, I'm writing.
00:03:07 - Meilin Ehlke
Tell us more.
00:03:10 - Angela Legh
Ah, well, the books kind of follow the main character Bella through a journey of self discovery. And one of the things I was going to add when you were speaking earlier was that it's the parents to understand the children, but also for the children to understand themselves and have those self inquiry questions and wonderings that help them to truly become who they're meant to be. Yeah.
00:03:49 - Meilin Ehlke
That they don't close up. I remember a long time ago we were in the mountains and there was a tablecloth in the house where we stayed and we were with the shamanic group there. And you could see that two siblings, had drawn this and one was older and one was younger. Each had drawn on one side. And the important Part. And it really showed a very important point. The younger one drew love in a way. She drew energy fields. There were no boundaries. The deer, the trees, and really the fields. She painted a lot of fields. Energy fields, I would say. And that is important to know. When we're younger. We do are this way. We have a very wide perception as children, and we sense so much more than most adults. We then close up or were closed up and didn't stay open because of our cultural and societal pressure.
00:05:06 - Angela Legh
Yes. Yeah. Even things that parents who love their children, sometimes they say things that will close up the child. They don't intend to do that. But it's really important for parents to understand that their children are individual people, that they have a soul when they're young, they're close to their soul. There's. There's like no layers of societal expectations and parental and school expectation and all these things that kind of get in the way of being connected to your soul. So it's really pure that connection of a young child.
00:05:54 - Meilin Ehlke
And now we strive to get to it.
00:05:57 - Angela Legh
Yeah. And really what my books are about is helping children to hang on to that purity and stay. You know, my books are very innocent. They don't delve into darkness. There's conflict in them, but the conflict is dealt with through love. And so basically is a primer for how to live in the energy of love.
00:06:37 - Meilin Ehlke
I love that because we go back to that tablecloth, the older sibling. She had painted all the witches, but not the witches. Like is the original sense of a healer bringing teaching about nutrition, the landscape. Right. How it was. But about the dark side out of the Middle Ages, all the stories and not stories. But hat really happened to many people. So that's exactly this darkness. And even though it's cartoonish or made stories out of it, some were legends, but there is still this darkness or this trauma hanging with it. And I love that we have now more books to choose from or parents have more books to choose from. Children have more books to choose from that they can read and explore. And I love that you put that together and that you don't segregate things out. Right. I think even the fairies do appear and it's a way of teaching. Did the fairies give you hints also what to write. How did you get to write?
00:07:52 - Angela Legh
Very much. I would say that the books are channeled because I never sat down and drew up a plot line. I never sat down and thought, oh, what am I going to write today? I would be inspired by a scene that would show up in my mind and I'd sit down and I'd write. I remember when I first started reading something by Stephen King saying, you know, to be a good author, you have to write for an hour every day. And I was. That doesn't feel good to me. And so I just kind of threw that out. But. For me it's really sit down and write when you are inspired to do so.
00:08:52 - Meilin Ehlke
I think that's a whole way for us to learn again how to live our life.
00:08:56 - Angela Legh
I think so.
00:08:58 - Meilin Ehlke
Right. Not just when do we write? Because we're all multi talented. Right?
00:09:04 - Angela Legh
Yes we are.
00:09:06 - Meilin Ehlke
When we work. When I think everything to get out of that rigidness again. I like that tablecloth. It shows the rigidness against the fluid.
00:09:16 - Angela Legh
Fluidity. Yeah.
00:09:18 - Meilin Ehlke
The flexibility to the inflexibility. And I think that's it. You're also leading away with these books, bringing us back as humans early enough already in being this fluid being.
00:09:36 - Angela Legh
Yes.
00:09:36 - Meilin Ehlke
And that we can sense and know where everything is connected to us and we're connected with everything that exists.
00:09:45 - Angela Legh
I love that, Meilin. And that is like the perfect advertisement for my books. Yes.
00:09:56 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah. Because they're fun. And so many people, I think, were this open and closed up. And especially in my generation, maybe a few decades, even down. Only now it's, so we can talk about spirituality differently. Purity, light, awakening. It's now in. In everywhere to be found. But when we were children, it was not. Parents were even watching out. Right. That we didn't tell any stories. No one could understand because they. Maybe they couldn't see energy or feel energy. And they ended up in the loony bin.
00:10:38 - Angela Legh
Exactly.
00:10:39 - Meilin Ehlke
They were afraid about that. The parents.
00:10:42 - Angela Legh
Yeah, It's. Excuse me. The religious structures that we grew up under. You know, it's like I grew up, my mom was a Catholic, I was raised in the Catholic Church. And there are structures in that church, but even some of the more open churches, there's still a lot of structures and a lot of patriarchal ideas. And I honestly believe that, you know, at some point the idea of the Goddess was left out of religion and it became just the God. And then at least in the Catholic Church, the leadership became more and more patriarchal and women were pushed out, pushed away, made to be sinners, made to be witches. And I think that, you know, now we're in a time where we understand that the feminine, the energy of the feminine is, Is nurturing and loving and good. And why would we want to shove that out.
00:12:09 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah. Because it brings harmony and, and balance. So many young women now are attracted by the moon or listen to the moon much more again. And that is important because it carries the feminine principle, not just in us women, but also in men. And for our earth.
00:12:29 - Angela Legh
Yeah. And when you talk about harmony and balance, balancing the feminine and masculine energy that we all have, every single one of us is feminine and masculine and some of the energies we express on a daily basis are either feminine or masculine. And learning to balance and you know, where do I bring in that nurturing and loving feminine presence and where do I put on that I'm gonna plow through this masculine presence. And I think for all of us, it's an individual journey of figuring out, you know, how to. Not necessarily how does it work in the world, but how does it feel to me.
00:13:24 - Meilin Ehlke
Important.
00:13:26 - Angela Legh
Yeah.
00:13:26 - Meilin Ehlke
How does it feel to you? You know, while you were speaking, I was thinking, so your books you wrote, the main character is a girl. Have you noticed or heard that also boys were reading it? Because normally, right. It's. Oh, it's a girl story, but it fantasy but it's really not so fantastic if I even want to put it into fantasy books.
00:13:52 - Angela Legh
It is an action and adventure story.
00:13:53 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah. They all read now, boys, men and women read, Are boys touched? That's really the question I wanted to. Are they as touched by your stories or the story that is running through your books?
00:14:16 - Angela Legh
Yes I think so. One of my friends was reading the first book and the second book to her 11 year old son as kind of as a bedtime story, which is something I entirely endorse. And she sent me an email, she said, you know, he puts down his electronics, he puts down his gaming pad and he says, "mom read me that book". And so I think yes, boys can connect in. They, may not connect with the main character, but there's the secondary main character, Matthias, who they might connect with. And there's Torvieto, which is a gargoyle brought to life and he's quite the character. So he may also be something of a father figure for boys. You know, this strong male lead who is all about loyalty and right.
00:15:27 - Meilin Ehlke
It's good to have also, especially for young men, often they're not so present the male roles. Kindergarten, schools there not so many men in those professions supporting boys to grow up. And going back to why he puts down the electronics. So your books bring in truth and purity. So in that channel there's a lot of truth in them. And children can sense it. Maybe they cannot express it in words, what it is, but they just know it. They have a knowingness. And that what would you bring down and is part of the success of your books? Yeah, right. And it is. It's your being, I think, that's important.
Everyone, Angela brings that through her being that is so important for her or for you to. To live this way and to speak the truth. Your whole demeanor shows the gentleness, the finesse. In German we have the word 'Feinheit', that's coming out of you and how important children are. And you took it even further now. You have a TV show.
00:16:50 - Angela Legh
Yeah.
00:16:51 - Meilin Ehlke
Lives. Right. That you started last year. So, yeah, you have a bit bigger audience and can help even more children. I love that.
00:17:10 - Angela Legh
Thank you.
00:17:11 - Meilin Ehlke
Share that vision a little bit that you have. How did you start it and why is it important? Why is it for you, Angela, also so important to help children in their life?
00:17:12 - Angela Legh
So it kind of started life. Yeah. Well, that's my soul's mission, is to support kids, so how can I not?
It started with the books because I realized that the young children, they would understand the angelic concepts that are in the books. But the parents, because they have so many layers of different. You did it wrong. You know, expectations and all that, things that causes us to crunch up inside, the parents might not understand as much.
So within each book, I wrote a parent's guide that looked at the main themes in the book and gave parents a deeper understanding of those themes. And at some point in time, I realized that the books can help children understand who they are. But if they're raised in a household where they're constantly being told not to be who they are, then they're not supported in that. So, I really needed to reach the parents to help the parents understand how they. How they affect their child, even when they're trying, you know, to be good.
So one of the topics in the show Children's Lives Matter is on social media addiction. Another topic is on body image. And so many parents don't understand when they talk to their child and say things like, "you don't want to eat that" they are sending a message to their child that the child is fat or that, you know, it's. Even those seemingly innocent comments can affect the child. And so understanding that how we word our talk around food and eating with our kids would be more like, "hey, we have these really delicious, healthy snacks. Do you want to try one?" And rather than saying, "don't eat that, you'll get fat", you say, we have this. Do you want to try it? And there Is no message to the child, child that they are not meeting expectations. In this case, it would be a body shape expectation.
00:20:11 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah. We have to live it. Right. When my son was born, it was very clear to me I have to live what I want from him. Right.
00:20:20 - Angela Legh
Oh, Yes. Absolutely
00:20:23 - Meilin Ehlke
I cannot tell him, if I do something else. That's how he helped me in my life to become true to myself. Because it was important for me to be that. Yeah. So, I have to buy the healthy things and eat them in front of my child and listen and see how he eats. Because every person is different. We have to really sense that even a young being is already a being and already knows how his body function. So they may not eat things that are not good for them already and they know it. But the parent may be, oh, you have to eat it this way or that way that we start listening even and watching how they function. I think that is very important. That's what I've learned. Also observed by other people.
00:21:16 - Angela Legh
Yeah, that is very important. And also on the body image. So you talked a little bit about modeling behavior, which is probably the number one thing I would tell parents to do. Model the behavior you want your child to exhibit on the social media show. We talk about how some parents try and set rules and guidelines about social media use for their kids while they're on social media. It's like, wait a minute, you're saying it's bad for them, but it's okay for you. And I, I say it, it's about screen time. So how much are you on the computer? How much are you on social media? How much are you watching the television? And if you're trying to tell your child that it's not good for them to spend many hours doing that, you need to look at yourself and say, how many hours am I spending?
00:22:27 - Meilin Ehlke
And you know what? Also I, I learned many people to work through the trauma that happens when parents, you know, yeah, we're too tight on people. But that we explain it. It's very important that they're already very, very smart. They're not, again, they're not a being. That is, we have to create and help rise up the very aware. We just saw the beginning. Right. We saw how much children already understand, feel, sense, hear the landscape, see the stars, the connectivity and act on it. Where we don't. Right. They don't walk the straight lines. They follow the energy lines like the dogs. And we always pull them back. You have to walk on the, on the path. But they know where they can get energy and feel better and healthier. And more alive. Yeah, no, because they can understand. And going back to the social media, if you have telling them see you're I can be do it a little different than you because my brain is finished developed or whatever how it's understood nowadays how the brain functions. So but at least then they understand and share them so they can make their own concepts. Right? That is also important.
00:23:54 - Angela Legh
Also when you share the why, you're, you're asking your child or telling, I don't want to say asking. You're telling your child to do something. When you share the why, then they have an understanding and they can buy into it better. And so you know, another tip for parents would be to talk with a child about, okay, so now we talked about this. You understand why what are the consequences when you fail to follow this and let the child set the consequences. Because then when the time comes and it probably will where they fail to follow that whatever guideline, then you don't have a fight over the consequences. You just say, you know, you said when you didn't do this that this X would happen. X is happening now and the child can't really fight it because they're the one who chose that.
00:25:06 - Meilin Ehlke
That gives the responsibility and respect. And I think that they see that they're respected so that the action also counts and that if do they choose even something that maybe the parent doesn't want that the parent says okay and understands it and doesn't just use explaining to get their idea through. Children are smart. They can sense what is behind. What is behind.
00:25:36 - Angela Legh
The energies underneath. Yeah, they can. And when you know, I don't know about you, but I was raised in the do as I say, not as I do time. And because I told you so, that was the only explanation I ever got. And those, you know, I can think of my father telling me not to smoke while he smoked a cigarette. And of course when I was in junior high school I tried smoking. I didn't like it, so I didn't do it. But that do as I say, not as I do, not modeling the behavior that you want it is almost a guarantee that they're going to do it.
00:26:30 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah, no, I was very lucky. I have two rebels at parents. The rebel, you know, one from the US and from the East block, you know the, the Russian parts of Germany at that time. And my mom escaped. My father didn't want to fit into the structure or the religious structure he grew up in. So they were widely open and he went into different country, you know. I think that laid a ground for me to explore myself. And I loved freedom and they gave me a lot of freedom and to explore.
00:27:06 - Angela Legh
Beautiful
00:27:08 - Meilin Ehlke
And I also then when I was more going the shamanic route and learning much more. I really observed the Native American way. They really let their children explore and do. And they don't tell. Like in Germany they tell you before what could happen, don't put and don't this and don't that because you could hurt yourself. So a child can never sense how far can I go and not go. And maybe we need to watch animals a little bit more. How do they train their children? Where is it dangerous? Where is it not? And I think there's many things where children have lost nowadays because we already too strict in so many ways, to gauge. Even all the way up to driving a car to gauge certain things. And I wish that is coming back. And when I see the young women they're becoming more and more open. And the work you do Angela and others does help.
So on what channel can people find you and when is your show able to be seen?
00:28:26 - Angela Legh
Yeah, it's on demand so it can be watched anytime. You don't have to worry about time zones which is good. And it's on e360tv.com there's a lot of shows on e360tv. So as you pull up the website scroll down. When you see the line of silver boxes that's Thriving Women Network and my show is part of that network. So you can find my show on in that line of silver boxes.
00:28:57 - Meilin Ehlke
Oh that's a good place to be. So for women mothers that go there they can find many other things.
00:29:04 - Angela Legh
Absolutely. There a lot of other shows.
00:29:05 - Meilin Ehlke
There are a lot of support them. Because I remember there was an interesting thing about children. So what I saw men deal different with children. And us women, we observe already too much or still what other women think about us. So this is something when we can heal through our things. And I think from the healing side it's very important that we do this self discovery and solve and dissolve these traumas where we have been impacted. So we don't hand it on to a child.
So this is another step that I think is so important. And on the playgrounds I could feel the mothers were much more stricter because they were always scared. What were the other mothers thinking about them? And I think when you would go Saturdays to the playground, there where mainly men. They didn't have that rule. And you could see that the children were exploring much more things and doing or testing out a little bit more dangerous things. But that's important because you have to learn. How far can I go and learn? Because I think children need to go further than their parents, right? Because times change. They have to go on. I think Goethe already wrote about that. Sturm und Drang. They have to try new things and try that the parents didn't do. And we have to give them the loose reins so that they can even explore that.
00:30:47 - Angela Legh
There's. On my website, I talk about different kinds of parenting, and the only kind of parenting that has really good outcomes for the children is what's called authoritarian, not authoritative. And authoritarian means you have a high level of nurturing. That child knows that they're loved, and you have a high level of boundaries. So you're teaching your child that there are boundaries to keep them safe. Or to make the household run the way it needs to run or, you know, boundaries for interacting with people. And when you do that, then the child has room to explore. They know that there are structures around them to keep them safe. So that allows them the freedom to explore.
In contrast, the permissive style, where there are no boundaries, the child is unsure of themselves. They feel like they don't know what's okay and what's not okay, so they keep pushing. Boundaries keep, you know, pushing, pushing, pushing, and there's never any consequences, never any pushback. That doesn't raise children to prepare for what they deal with in the world because that child then goes to college or starts a job, and now there's pushback, and they don't even know how to deal with that. So it's really important to teach boundaries and to be really nurturing to your child.
00:32:49 - Meilin Ehlke
So what. What tips do the fairies provide? If you would say now in the book, you were free to channel them through. Are you able to speak that also out when you are on your TV show or you also. That's everyone. That's really important. She's also a columnist for the Los Angeles Tribune, and we'll talk about the last article she wrote last week. But how. How free can you bring that into the world? Because what I learned from the fairies, that they want us adults to play more. The children to play more.
00:33:35 - Angela Legh
I was just going to say that.
00:33:38 - Meilin Ehlke
Okay.
00:33:39 - Angela Legh
Yes. So Queen Tatiana, who is Bella's mother, in the books, she would say, let go and be more playful. Understand that playfulness is an aspect of love, and that when you bring playfulness, you bring joy. And joy is the energy that this world needs. The more joy, the more people love each other. And the more people love each other, the better the world is. Yeah.
00:34:35 - Meilin Ehlke
Thank you. Thank you, Queen. Forgotten her name already. I did read the book. But I forgot. I'm not so good in remembering. I can feel the energy though, and the wisdom and the truthfulness and the purity in her words. Yes. It's so important the joyfulness to bring that in. And if a parent doesn't have it is important to get that back and us to learn from our children. So this is also. Many forget we can learn so much from our children if we keep our eyes open and try to understand them and try to. That would be fun.
00:35:15 - Angela Legh
Absolutely. And one of the comments I've received on my books from, you know, people over 40, is that it really connects them back to their inner child, to their, to that spark of innocence within them. And I think, you know, you don't have to have a child to be helped by my books.
00:35:43 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah, you can read them there because they're also like adult books. They're fun to read their light. Yeah, that's another important thing. Times are changing now. Right. The cosmos is working with us, the galaxy, the energies, things speeding up. And the material world that we live here on, on this planet has been very, very dense when we grew up. And it's less now. Much more. Less then time before.
00:36:14 - Angela Legh
Every day it's a little less dense.
00:36:16 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah. And it speeds up. We can feel it already in the speed of 2025. And that's what leads to the, the other topic I told people about that you are a columnist and that you wrote a beautiful, supporting, heartfelt article about the fire and how people feel that have extreme. Experienced a fire and a devastating, you know, the devastating fire where they lose everything.
00:36:49 - Angela Legh
Yeah.
00:36:50 - Meilin Ehlke
And share that a little bit because it's important. How do you feel? You experience it yourself many years back. But how do you bring your feelings into writing? That they support others? Okay.
00:37:09 - Angela Legh
Well, yes, I did lose everything in a wildfire in 2017. And when the Los Angeles wildfire happened just in the last month, I remember re-experiencing the feelings. You know, I know what I went through and it may be different from what other people went through, but I can speak to what I went through. And so that was the premise of this article. Look, you're gonna experience a lot of different feelings and these may be some of them. And don't beat yourself up. This is a hard thing. It's almost a portal that you're going through. Your life will be different after. And your soul is guiding you into whatever is coming next. So just trust and give yourself grace.
00:38:23 - Meilin Ehlke
Grace, that's a beautiful word. And feeling, emotion. You can go into it energy. And while you were speaking, I mean, children don't read newspapers. In the article could you do also something small? There were many children that experience the fire. Right? Could you do a show? I don't know. It just comes. Can you write a children's piece that parents could read?
00:38:49 - Angela Legh
Ohh. I can. I would do that.
00:38:51 - Meilin Ehlke
Read out of the newspaper to them maybe. You have this connection. You know, they experience their parents in panic. They never experienced their parents like this. They may lost the surrounding or animals. They may have lost.
00:39:09 - Angela Legh
They may even have to be moved somewhere else.
00:39:13 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah. On top of it
00:39:15 - Angela Legh
When I was poor, my house burned down. Yeah. And I, my sister and I were sent off to live with some. To us, they were strangers. To my father, they were friends. But yes, I can speak to that too. To, you know, what the child is experiencing. One of the things that struck me when my house burned down was that my adult children, they didn't have a home anymore. You know, there's something about, you know, keeping your boxes of stuff at your parents house or visiting your parents house on holiday and if it's not the house that they grew up in and, and that's, you know, tragically taken away. It's a loss. And so I was struck by the loss my children went through at the same time I went through this huge loss. Yeah.
00:40:18 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah. This is a double and triple that comes and builds up and that we carry as mothers or parents, fathers. Right. That never goes away. But it can be dissolved. And I think the written word, like you do with your writing, has the power to do that, to dissolve, to release trauma also because you get new perspectives. It builds up possibility. Builds up possibility. And you do that. So do write something for children and they can also explore that themselves. And then they have a conversation they can hold with adults or with their parents in a different way or even then the parent can understand maybe what a child goes through if they have not gone through a fire. Wow. You have gone through two fires.
00:41:15 - Angela Legh
I know.
00:41:17 - Meilin Ehlke
Explored them also as a child. So that will be really supporting. That will be a treasure. Thank you.
00:41:26 - Angela Legh
I will do it. And thank you for the idea.
00:41:29 - Meilin Ehlke
Thank you. Yeah. So people will probably want to learn more about you, your books, your advice you give parents. Do other Children reach out to you like teenagers?
00:41:46 - Angela Legh
That's what I have not had children reach out to me, but I'm looking forward to when they do.
00:41:50 - Meilin Ehlke
I see. So if there's a teenager listening or you have teenagers or younger children, reach out to Angela. And there's so much to learn about her and she has so much more wisdom than we able even to put and squeeze into this episode. Go and listen again to episode 60. You know, we speak about different things and she has so much more to give and keeps on going.
Because Angela you're touching many children. And we'd see the impact. Maybe not now, but we will see it in a decade and especially we will see it in two decades.
00:42:28 - Angela Legh
We will.
00:42:31 - Meilin Ehlke
And the world is moving into a total different direction. And that is an. Oh, that is, it's, it's like we're giving him a suitcase to create that new world that we're moving into.
00:42:45 - Angela Legh
A tool box.
00:42:46 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah, exactly. You're giving it to them. But also it's an embodied one. Right? The words in text. We're able to embody what we read. Not to be underestimated, how we use that into. And act on it.
00:43:04 - Angela Legh
I have often said that, and I hope no psychologists kind of get offended by this, but I have often said that, you know, the problem with psychology is you just talk about the problem and you talk and you talk and you talk and over time you may shift your perspective, but it takes a long time. Whereas even through the written word, the perspectives, the energy starts moving and the perspectives shift and you see something in a new way. And then all of a sudden that thing that really bothered you doesn't have the same energy and so you're becoming free from it. And yeah, I used to say that my books worked on the energy, not on the talking about it.
00:44:05 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah, that's so true. Even the energy that's in between the letters or the words and even if it's on paper, especially children, they dive into text, they're learning, right. Adults are learning more and more about that, how children do things.
00:44:24 - Angela Legh
Well, and the difference between a book that is a teaching book, so a self help book, you know, you do this and you'll get that that is not immersive. But if you put the same understandings and perspectives in a story, then all of a sudden the child sees themselves in the story and it's immersive and, and so the learnings are then really embodied through that.
00:45:03 - Meilin Ehlke
It's a wonderful way. But that's why I Love to read, too. It's the same thing is happening now to me. I use a fantasy book I'm reading at the moment, but it's showing me possibilities. I had forgotten.
00:45:48 - Angela Legh
Yes.
00:45:49 - Meilin Ehlke
I knew him, you know, 30 years ago, and he said, oh, my God, and how can I build? And how it gives me also, again, an urge to learn something special again or something new. So it's a driver. It makes you curious what is out there? What else can I do? Because I believe even in many, in especially for adults fantasy books.
00:45:44 - Angela Legh
I love fantasy books.
00:45:44 - Meilin Ehlke
There is so much channeled information in the writers as well. Because it didn't fit into a normal genre. We had to go in the way of the fairy tale. Well, that's the better word in the way of what we call a fairy tale. So it can stay open.
00:46:00 - Angela Legh
It's not, in that fairy tale structure. Because that fairy tale structure was very patriarchal and very, you know, the evil witch kind of image that was given to fairies even. And that's not who they are. They are love. Fairies are nothing but love. And they're fun and playful, but they are love.
00:46:35 - Meilin Ehlke
And great healers. Fantastic speed in healing.
00:46:37 - Angela Legh
Very much so. So people can find me on my website. Angela Legh. L-E G H.com.
00:46:52 - Meilin Ehlke

00:47:06 - Angela Legh
Those links are on my website. So it is easy.
00:47:08 - Meilin Ehlke
So. Yeah, as well. And also in the show notes. So thank you very much again, Angela, and for your wisdom and especially the last sentence was so beautiful. But maybe one more sentence for the audience and maybe that child or the inner child that is listening as well.
00:47:29 - Angela Legh
So every, every adult has an inner child and a lot of people think about their wounded inner child. But what if your inner child is innocence and purity and light and you just had to hide that away because of the wounding you received as a child? Your inner child is fun, is light and is love. And that is an aspect of who you are. The more you tap in to that pure inner child, the happier you become.
00:48:17 - Meilin Ehlke
Oh, so I'm not going to add anything to this. I just say yes, yes, yes. So everyone shine your light.
Angela, thank you very much for being here again, sharing your precious time with us. Thank you for writing. Thank you for making the TV show and helping so many children and our inner child and parents. I really appreciate that.
