An Interview with PureHeart's Connie Jordan

A Metaphysical Comedian Seriously Shares Life and a Healing Journey

Aug 27, 2009 John Culbertson

Connie Jordan lost her son, Andrew, to Leukemia in 2007. Now Connie and her husband Martin seek to use that experience to educate and provide healing to others.

What would it be like for a child to die? What would happen if a parent unexpectedly found out their son or daughter had cancer? Connie Jordan has experienced this due to her son’s battle with Leukemia.

Suite101 contributing writer John Culbertson had the chance to conduct an interview with Connie in an August 25, 2009 email exchange with the metaphysical comedian.

Connie Jordan on Her Profession

Q: What is your profession?

CJ: "I'm a metaphysical comedian, this means my husband sees dead people and I make fun of them. I poke fun at my paranormal/metaphysical life, husband, and friends. I poke fun at the stereotypes people have about metaphysics."

Q: What do you love most about your career?

CJ: "I love making people laugh, lifting their vibration, and shifting their consciousness. Laughter is the highest vibration, so to be able to make people laugh is a wonderful life purpose, it's an important one."

Q: What would you recommend to someone wanting to be a comedian?

CJ: "Someone looking to be a comedian of any kind, I recommend finding a stand up class and then do as many open mics as you can."

Connie Jordan’s Thoughts on the New Age Movement

Q: What do you dislike most about the New Age movement?

CJ: "Honestly, the posers, the wannabees. People that do not walk their talk or practice what they teach. It's a real pet peeve of mine. I'm not real sure what can be done about it other than call them out on it perhaps."

Connie Jordan on the Death of Son Andrew Jordan

Q: Your son has been a great inspiration to not only you, but many. Could you share a bit of wisdom that he has passed along to you/?

CJ: "One of the most amazing things he showed me is that no matter what is going on in your life, it is you that chooses to be happy or not. And he chose to be happy every day of his life, even while undergoing brutal leukemia treatment. It was amazing to watch his courage and grace through it all!"

Q: What advice would you offer to other parents that have experienced the loss of a child or the death of a child?

CJ: "Find a support system any where you can. Also, if they haven’t already done so, meditate to connect to their child's energy because that is never gone! Allow yourself to feel the grief; it isn't easy, but necessary in order to move through it. Also, acknowledge the signs their child is sending them, don't explain them away. Just know you can still have a relationship with your child, it just may not be the way you want it to be. Be open to the endless possibilities. Focus on their essence, who they really are, for that never dies!"

Q: What’s your favorite song and why?

CJ: "Hmm...there are quite a few – hard to pick! [I'd say my favorite song is] "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. Andrew sent that one to us [parents Connie and Martin] and showed us dancing together to it in a forest, having a great time. He was also letting us know he was still ours. He sends that song to let me know he's w/me in the car like old times, in the new way. Music is a wonderful way to connect to the Other Side, it raises your vibration to meet theirs."

Connie Jordan and International It's All Good Day

Q: Please Give Some Information on International It's All Good Day.

CJ: "I came up with IIAGD a few weeks before the first anniversary of Andrew's journey home. I had to do something to change the devastating energy of that day for me. I didn't want it to be a year since I had kissed him, hugged him. I wanted to create a new memory, a happier one. I wanted to honor Andrew and what he stood for. I wanted his message to get out there of no matter what, it's all good. He lived it, he believed it, he breathed it.

"[On] October 22, I just ask that people be happy on that day and no matter what happens say it's all good! Word spread around the world last year. Australia, the UK, Japan, all around the US, people made a conscious effort to be happy all day, did something nice for someone, even just a smile or holding a door open. I figure if we all participate around the world as a collective consciousness, we can effect real change!"

Q: Would you care to share some insights/thoughts about what your future plans are for International Its All Good Day?

CJ: "My plans for International Its All Good Day are to have it be a recognized holiday not only in the US, but around the world. I'd love to see people having their own big IIAGD celebrations/festivals. By doing this, I'd like to see if we can spike the Earth's magnetic field in a positive way that it can be measured from space!

"Hay House author, Gregg Braden, speaks of this happening when collective consciousness is focused together. It happened twice in sorrow on August 31, 1997, Diana's crossing and September 11, 2001. I'd like to see what would happen if we had a collective consciousness focused on only being positive and joyful for one day no matter what!"

Q: One last question please. What is PureHeart? Where did the name come from?

CJ: "When Andrew made his journey home, he was given the name Glan Croi, which is Gaelic for PureHeart. You can read about his journey home on their music MySpace blog called "An Avatar's Journey Home." It is an amazing story! Worth the read if you haven't already."
