[00:00:26] transformation that she has gone through. Coming from a very skeptical place, I might add,

[00:02:41] Thanks for having me. Glad you're here. You have a pretty awesome story. So I want
[00:02:46] to just go ahead and jump in and ask you, first of all, how did you come to this work?
[00:02:50] Tell us a little bit about just who you are and a little bit about your background.
[00:02:54] Sure. So I'm 55 years old. So that I've always been just a very active person. I'm a mom,
[00:03:05] my son's 25 years old and he's out on his own and I had always had a kind of super busy
[00:03:14] but full life up until about probably five years ago. Right about when COVID hit and
[00:03:24] I just started struggling with being tired and having low energy. My thinking started
[00:03:31] getting cloudy and I also developed a condition in my throat where, well what happened was
[00:03:41] I choked. They choked at a restaurant and I got rushed to the emergency room and
[00:03:49] found out that I have a condition in my esophagus that causes my esophagus to narrow.
[00:03:55] The acronym is EOE. I cannot pronounce it for life. And anyway, so that was kind of the first
[00:04:04] indication that there was something going on and they would stretch my esophagus and
[00:04:12] all of a sudden I had all these tests for food allergies and things and
[00:04:16] they determined that it was acid in my throat and food allergies that was causing it. So that
[00:04:27] started this big long journey. A testing show that I had over 30 different foods that I was
[00:04:34] allergic to and although I didn't know I was allergic to them like I didn't have any outward
[00:04:40] reaction but obviously inside my throat some food was going on. And fast forward a few years later
[00:04:49] I'm just trying to be careful with that but then I started having extreme low energy
[00:04:56] to the point where I was having trouble just functioning and I was having trouble at work.
[00:05:03] I had a very high stress job working for one of the big tech companies
[00:05:08] and I had to tell my boss I just can't do this anymore and so then I went to work with my husband
[00:05:14] and in a small company working part-time like oh I should be able to do this. But a couple years
[00:05:20] ago it was still getting worse and to the point where I was having trouble walking up hills,
[00:05:27] going upstairs, it was like my body was just shutting down and I couldn't sleep and having
[00:05:36] trouble swallowing so all of that just and then I found out somebody told me that sounds like
[00:05:42] Lyme disease and so I got tested for that and yeah I had actually three different parasitic
[00:05:49] bacteria growing in my body and I saw them under the microscope myself and that started a long
[00:05:57] line of supplements and IV vitamin therapy and I spent 10 days straight in a clinic in Idaho
[00:06:05] getting IVs every day and shots in my spine and came home and you know I was I was you know
[00:06:13] still just barely able to function but the naturopath there told me one of the really
[00:06:19] important things in getting better is how you talk to yourself you know your mind and your body
[00:06:25] and that was kind of the impetus you know I'm a Googler and I read a lot yeah I read a lot
[00:06:33] of books I'd read a lot of books already but I just started googling on mind body and that's when
[00:06:38] I found heal with grace and I learned about your mind body method yeah so that's kind of how I
[00:06:47] got into this I really you know the doctor was like oh it's one of five things you need to do
[00:06:51] like drink water of your body and eat whole foods sleep and talk nice to yourself so I was
[00:06:58] trying to be a good girl and do all five things you know so this was kind of that fifth thing
[00:07:04] yeah and yeah I signed up for the online program and then chose to do one-on-one with you because
[00:07:11] I was really struggling and I was scared I could barely think straight and I
[00:07:19] didn't I had really even like given up on most everything I was very interested that I was
[00:07:25] interested in I we had moved to the country to try to reduce my stress and I have all these
[00:07:30] goats and chickens and everything and all this awesome stuff that I've always wanted
[00:07:34] but I couldn't even go outside and play with them I was just like looking at them through the
[00:07:39] window and and that was probably the lowest point was I had just kind of given up on my
[00:07:49] dreams I was trying to do a bed and breakfast here and start trying to do some things that I'm
[00:07:55] really interested in you know I'd already given up my career well that I was like I just can't
[00:08:01] do that anymore it's too stressful well I was trying to find new things but I wasn't even sure
[00:08:07] I was going to be able to do that yeah I had just kind of given up on I was kind of just
[00:08:12] waiting to die I googled how long what's the life expectancy of somebody that has this condition
[00:08:18] in my throat and they said well you probably won't live more than 20 years past your diagnosis
[00:08:22] I like that's not really very longed and so I was already just thinking well like this yeah
[00:08:29] my mom my parents both died at 70 maybe I'm going to two and that's just the way it is were you
[00:08:34] given an explanation of why you had Lyme that's a good question what he said was going on and
[00:08:41] the way that he treats all of these kind of chronic conditions he doesn't even really care what
[00:08:46] your diagnosis are he's just like your immune system your immune system is compromised and
[00:08:53] you know body's just not able to fight anything off so you're getting all this weird stuff
[00:08:58] I mean I connected the dots later like probably even more than maybe he did yeah
[00:09:06] to where I believe now that my nervous system being dysregulated was causing my immune system
[00:09:15] to fail totally 100% believe that you know I've talked to him a little bit about it so that makes
[00:09:22] sense but yeah so a lot of people have parasites I guess in their body and they just are garment
[00:09:28] and they don't do anything they don't go active unless your immune system gets caught yeah yeah
[00:09:34] exactly that I think is a really important note that like what you just said of I now know it
[00:09:41] was my nervous system probably brain response right creating dysregulation in your immune response
[00:09:46] like a low immune system right we don't forget that piece I think functional holistic medicine is
[00:09:52] amazing love it do you think they kind of miss that a little bit and I'm guessing I mean tell me
[00:09:57] if I'm wrong but what you realized was okay well I am doing all this stuff to help my immune
[00:10:01] system but you weren't getting better right right yeah I mean I at one point had 20 different
[00:10:09] bottles of supplements on my countertop and it just felt so complicated and I mean I'm not questioning
[00:10:18] his credentials I think the other thing that really made me realize that was part of it
[00:10:24] was when I started getting better when my nervous system started getting better I could control my
[00:10:31] symptoms through guided meditations and things like I could actually stop the acid burning in my
[00:10:41] throat just by turning on one of your good meditations and I mean I'm doing that regularly
[00:10:49] now that's how I'm and that happened probably within like the first month or so I think you
[00:10:54] noticed some brain fog go away you noticed stopping that acid in your throat right when
[00:10:59] did you notice your fatigue like your energy coming back yeah that was probably
[00:11:04] about a month in and yes I've got that perfectionist thing in me which I know was part of
[00:11:11] some of the problems with all the stress and stuff however I was highly motivated to follow
[00:11:17] the program to the teams because I am a perfectionist but also because I was trying
[00:11:23] to save my own life I mean there was some point there in the first month where I'm like
[00:11:28] oh maybe I'm not gonna die in 15-20 years maybe I will be able to live a little longer and
[00:11:33] I'm like okay I'm gonna just hit this as hard as I can and I mean I had to learn through the program
[00:11:40] to slow my role a little bit and because that part of my personality was
[00:11:48] part of what was dysregulating my nervous systems still there is a level of commitment
[00:11:54] and dedication that I had to get to where every day I'm gonna meditate every day I'm going to
[00:12:02] journal speak every day I'm going you know we're not messing around here and just really
[00:12:09] believing that this is what's gonna help me not go into bazillion appointments you know I had
[00:12:16] lower back pain too and I was going to all these chiropractor appointments and it wasn't
[00:12:22] getting better and I was going all these acupuncture you know I was trying everything and
[00:12:32] I stopped a lot of that actually because I found that calming myself down and
[00:12:41] stopping the hustle yeah I've heard you talk about the hustle and yeah stopping the hustle
[00:12:46] was a big part of me getting better because that's just been my modus operandi for years
[00:12:52] is the hustle and yeah it's caught up with me and I can't live like that anymore.
[00:12:58] Hey friends it's Grace if you feel like you've been doing all of the treatment protocols and
[00:13:03] all the different modalities to heal and you're still not feeling better and it's just kind of
[00:13:07] managing things I'm here to talk to you for a second so it's not because you're doing it
[00:13:13] wrong or you just haven't found the answer yet it's truly because your nervous system and brain
[00:13:18] are still operating in protection mode and your nervous system and brain when it perceives danger
[00:13:24] physical or emotional danger and even just ongoing stress it keeps your body on high alert so
[00:13:30] none of those treatment modalities are actually going to stick or work until you work with the
[00:13:35] bottom line which is your brain and nervous system because when you're in the danger mode
[00:13:39] state your digestion immune system hormones and pain signals all get affected it's like
[00:13:45] trying to heal while the alarm bells are still ringing in the background and that is why so many
[00:13:50] people get stuck you can do all of the treatment things you want but if your system isn't regulated
[00:13:56] your body can't access its natural healing state this is exactly why I created my four month
[00:14:03] signature program the mind body healing method it's a step by step process that helps you calm
[00:14:08] your system rewire old stress patterns and retrain your brain to feel safe again so you can finally
[00:14:14] start to heal for good chronic pain and illness this is a true recovery program not just management
[00:14:21] you'll get guided lessons nervous system practices live support individual and group
[00:14:25] support and a community that actually understands what you're going through enrollment is now
[00:14:31] open so you can find the link below in the show notes or go to elevatetherapywellness.com
[00:14:37] slash mind body healing method because until your brain and body feel safe no protocol or
[00:14:43] treatment plan will actually work when your nervous system works everything starts to heal
[00:14:51] I've kind of had to change my whole countenance
[00:14:55] and like a different person now I mean it's hard it's hard to see it in the middle but I
[00:15:01] and a few other people that have been on here said you know truly are grateful for it it's
[00:15:05] hard to say that when you've been through so much but you become someone you come you become I believe
[00:15:11] more of yourself really but it feels like a person I'm absolutely grateful I mean I'm grateful
[00:15:18] I'm grateful for my symptoms because without that I wouldn't have um yeah gone I wouldn't
[00:15:28] have dug deep into my trauma that I've been avoiding for decades or you know dug into things that I
[00:15:37] thought I had already taken care of and oh I guess I hadn't I'm like I'm a seeker I'm the kind of
[00:15:43] person who's been working on myself my whole life but this was much more focused on what I feel
[00:15:52] actually needed attention and I'm grateful for that because I don't want to waste my time
[00:16:00] reading one more book and this and that and not I'm not having it really getting to the core
[00:16:05] I think that's an important piece to note like you've you've been in self-development you've
[00:16:09] worked on yourself you've done therapy and things in the past so then for you what was
[00:16:15] different about this why did this help the more well what was interesting is yeah I think
[00:16:21] I've had like 20 different counselors I was trying to add them up over my life one um
[00:16:30] one of my more recent counselors told me that I think the stress you're under is making you sick
[00:16:38] she's all I just believe that programming what you you know getting to know me and everything
[00:16:43] and that I needed to find a way to make my body and my brain feel safe and I'm like okay
[00:16:51] how do I do that right the question how okay how that's the biggest question yeah
[00:16:56] and I am really don't feel like I've really run across anything that talked about it exactly
[00:17:03] like that or really had actual practical things that you wake up and do every day
[00:17:09] and then also what to do when you're freaking out like your body's freaking out
[00:17:15] or your mind is freaking out it is very hard I was fairly thinking straight so I just
[00:17:21] was so grateful to just have like okay I'm just gonna hit play on this guided meditation and I'm
[00:17:27] going to do my journaling and talk to my body and talk to the different parts of me
[00:17:35] that were coming up and that's kind of the part that's I feel like I've gotten to know
[00:17:39] myself in a whole new way all of the parts of me and not just trying to be perfect I identified
[00:17:46] probably 15 different personas inside of me that were just the different parts of me that were
[00:17:53] trying to help me some of them you know like you call them protectors but like and I would
[00:17:59] talk to them you know like the acid maker in my throat you know okay what's upsetting you
[00:18:05] let's let's talk it out and learning how to have that compassion with myself to to
[00:18:15] inquire within with kindness I've always joked that I kind of tackle the work I do on my
[00:18:23] inner self with it's like a invasive surgery in the past and this has taught me a way to do it
[00:18:33] where and when you do that you know when you're kind of being mean to yourself
[00:18:37] body doesn't cooperate you know it's like no man I'm not I'm not gonna talk to you
[00:18:42] so yeah just developing this relationship with the parts of me that were suffering
[00:18:47] and and being nice to them and being like what's going on you know and getting through all
[00:18:52] those layers all the way to the inside I like waking up in the morning and going okay who's
[00:18:58] here today you know
[00:19:04] yeah and there's this real little tender part of me in there that's getting brave enough to
[00:19:09] kind of show up you know and and starting to trust me that I can take care of her so I had
[00:19:15] been abandoning myself for many many years yeah and so I'm kind of doing a living amends to
[00:19:23] myself where I made a commitment that I'm going to save my own life and that all of the
[00:19:29] things that I do in this practice are more important than anything before starting this work would you
[00:19:36] have said throughout all of your self-development work right would you have said oh I'm abandoning
[00:19:40] myself so that's a strong statement no I didn't think I was I thought that I um I thought that
[00:19:47] I had pretty good self-esteem on board and and that I was a healthy person I mean people
[00:19:55] have told me you're so healthy um you know what I hadn't realized though was like when I was
[00:20:01] obsessing on what to eat or what not to eat what supplements to take or what not supplements
[00:20:07] not to take or what modality to try next that um I didn't realize that I was being hard on myself
[00:20:17] I thought I was being a good girl doing all the right stuff so um this has made me um just
[00:20:25] have a whole different way of looking at it yeah I think that's I mean that's a very important
[00:20:30] point you we're trying to do all the right things we all do of course you're trying
[00:20:33] to help yourself right but there's a lot of pressure and rigidness and perfectionism that
[00:20:40] comes in in to play with that and just then the fact that doesn't end up working very well or
[00:20:46] you're just always constantly searching right so yeah I learned that I'm a highly sensitive person
[00:20:53] I mean I've kind of I've kind of known that I've always known that I'm sensitive I always
[00:20:57] approached it more from um I don't know just something I had to work around
[00:21:04] so now um I actually kind of like that part of me because I can tune in to my body I can see what's
[00:21:11] going on now by just kind of going inside and and I am genuinely curious what's that about
[00:21:18] what are you trying to tell me so I do get flare-ups from time to time I mean stress
[00:21:22] and life happens you know but yeah I I just feel like for the first time ever I actually have
[00:21:27] something I know what to do I know all right let's see what's going on
[00:21:33] yeah yeah go ahead I was just gonna say it's information you know it's I think a bit like
[00:21:39] a check engine light like I uh I want to know is there something new about me that I'm gonna
[00:21:47] learn that maybe something's coming up that I didn't know about and I'm like kind of excited
[00:21:54] oh I'm gonna go get my journal and and see what this one's about yeah yeah that shift from oh
[00:22:02] curiosity and like oh what's going on and what's happening versus oh my gosh how do I get over this
[00:22:08] this is something like what's what's happening with fear instead of what's going on so curiosity
[00:22:16] it sounds kind of simple and some people might be listening being like I don't know
[00:22:19] but that shift I mean that reduces the fear and anxiety that makes a nervous system dysregulated
[00:22:27] which increases I mean or decreases I mean response and all the things right so even
[00:22:32] you just naming that it's huge that response towards your body is so so so important yeah
[00:22:38] yeah this when I look back at how I would handle just you know having a symptom yeah
[00:22:45] we're having a new diagnosis you know just deep dive into fear and anxiety and I was just
[00:22:52] I didn't realize I was making you worse and I remember the day I got on the was going to the
[00:22:57] airport to go to that clinic the Lyme clinic and I was just you're like so sorry for this
[00:23:05] and you know just dragging this big suitcase that could barely get there but um
[00:23:11] but yeah just layering on as long as anxiety
[00:23:17] where I didn't have hope before yeah now that I I believe now that I am capable of healing
[00:23:29] and that I'm in charge of that like I had been giving all of my power to these professionals
[00:23:36] that I was seeing you know like what's wrong with me fix me you know and I was going in with
[00:23:41] that approach and then I would get mad at them when it would fall short and so another just part
[00:23:50] of the shift I think was taking accountability for my own healing and and believing and trying
[00:23:57] to truly believing that yeah I can do this I've got all the faculties within me to initiate
[00:24:04] my own healing and it just supports even kind of how I believe spiritually because I believe I'm a
[00:24:13] spiritual being having a human experience and the fact that at the core the solution is working on
[00:24:21] trauma and just things that are more on the emotional level makes total sense to me
[00:24:29] yeah next total sense it all adds up taking your power back knowing you have the resources
[00:24:35] and tools within you is the best thing I think we can give anyone but especially in this
[00:24:40] right I mean feeling like you have no control and that your symptoms are just all over the place
[00:24:46] and yeah you're giving it over to everyone else because yeah I get it when you're in that place
[00:24:50] you don't know it's horrible but yeah that shift I even I even see it just in like the glow
[00:24:56] of your face and just like the shift in and you're like how you hold yourself you know it's
[00:25:00] just different it's different yeah was there a key moment or moments where you notice that shift like
[00:25:07] oh I can I can help myself now yeah yeah I think I started getting my smile back
[00:25:16] when I actually had a lot of fun identifying the different parts of me like I actually you
[00:25:24] would say like oh let them have a seat at the table but they're not at the head of the table
[00:25:28] you know these kind of protector parts of you and I don't know just drawing this table and making
[00:25:33] these little um caricatures but I guess because I was inviting in and I was no longer resisting
[00:25:43] all the resistors in me if that makes sense um I had stopped having to fight so I was so
[00:25:50] tired I couldn't fight anymore and thank goodness the solution was to not fight anymore
[00:25:58] to to relax and let it all in and talk to it not be afraid of it and inquire with curiosity and
[00:26:09] that was such a softer feeling and because I could tell I didn't have much fight left
[00:26:16] I didn't want to fight anymore and um I would say I'm fighting to save my own life but when
[00:26:25] I'm fighting to save my own life that I'm actually involved stopping fighting and just listening and
[00:26:31] yeah yeah it's often the thing that some people have a hard time with because it's it feels
[00:26:37] scary to stop fighting feels like you're giving up or letting it go but actually it's the opposite
[00:26:43] you're empowering yourself to soften and to I mean deal with grace is yes my name but it's a
[00:26:51] it's also double meaning right I named it for a reason grace we need grace and compassion
[00:26:55] through this so much because most of our life we've been fighting ourselves which is part of
[00:27:00] part of not the whole reason but part of how we're in chronic symptoms so yeah that makes
[00:27:05] sense that it was a big turning point for you yeah and it feels more in line with my true
[00:27:10] personality I had taken on this mask just to kind of fit in society I think of just being tough
[00:27:19] you know I used to be a manager of people for many many years I was like this boss lady and
[00:27:27] taken on the man and all that and now I just feel like it was I did kind of chuckle
[00:27:34] for a while and I go gosh this is just funny because it's like way different than I thought
[00:27:44] okay now I'm like oh yeah I think I am gonna enjoy the rest of my life
[00:27:50] because I remember thinking at 50 you know in those jobs I'm like I can't do this for another
[00:27:56] 15 years I'm not gonna make it like to retirement I'm like I'm not gonna make it
[00:28:01] like like was figuring that out and I'm like I don't know what I'm gonna do
[00:28:06] you know and it was scary but now letting go of that personality that wasn't really mine
[00:28:14] and kind of learning gradually who I want to be now and who I am by now I'm seeking out a new
[00:28:26] career that has to do with helping people heal you know has to do with nervous system
[00:28:32] and just because that's what I'm generally interested in now and yeah I don't have to fight anymore
[00:28:37] yeah it's not worth it so then how have your symptoms changed from when we first started
[00:28:44] so yeah about halfway through I noticed that I could walk up my hill again
[00:28:51] and do all my chores and you know I take care of goats and chickens I'm like
[00:28:57] shoveling and whale-barrowing and all of that I'm able to pick up a bag of green again
[00:29:04] and then for so long I had had my life down to just the bare minimum like I had stopped
[00:29:12] going for hikes or riding my bicycle or anything about halfway through I started
[00:29:17] having thoughts like oh it's the weekend and I'm not completely exhausted maybe I'll actually
[00:29:23] do something instead of just collapsing on the couch for the whole weekend so yeah I'm seeking out
[00:29:32] community which I hadn't we've been living in this new place for two and a half years and I
[00:29:37] haven't even done that yet yeah physically more energy and then my mind just working clearly
[00:29:46] um yeah so I had some relationship things I needed to work on that were needing attention
[00:29:53] and I couldn't even go there because I couldn't think clearly but yeah the my brain is clear now and
[00:30:03] calm and not triggered every minute so um I can actually kind of rationally go okay
[00:30:09] what's going on here you know communicate and figure it out so that and then um so now
[00:30:16] foods I got retested from my food sensitivities recently and now I'm only showed up three foods
[00:30:24] that I'm sensitive to and so I went from 30 to three yeah so now I eat whatever I want pretty
[00:30:32] much I know I didn't realize how sad that was making me to not be able to eat it just sucked
[00:30:41] like going out to a restaurant was terrible holidays I just didn't go into potlucks I just
[00:30:48] didn't even want to do any of that and I mean that's just so much of joy in life
[00:30:56] being able to eat things so yeah that part's fun and I really enjoy cooking so that's one of
[00:31:01] the things that I picked back up again and then my bad my lower back in is life I'd say it's like
[00:31:09] 85% gone uh yeah so there's just a little bit there it kind of shows up sometimes I get a little
[00:31:16] too excited about my new life and I I do a little bit too many things and my body lets me know
[00:31:25] but you know just chill out a little bit I like that now because now I know what it means
[00:31:30] before I would just push through I would I had been doing like cycling around Italy
[00:31:35] and things like that and I'm you know I still might someday do something like that again but
[00:31:41] before what I was doing is just not listening to my body pushing myself through these things yeah
[00:31:47] and I'm not even sure why like I was trying to prove to myself that I was this amazing person
[00:31:54] or something I don't know but my definition of amazing person is completely different now too
[00:31:59] like when I meet people that take care of themselves I'm like yeah when I hang out with you
[00:32:05] exactly yeah I'm no longer impressed by you you did Mount Everest okay
[00:32:14] yeah so you just pushed yourself what are you running from no I'm kidding
[00:32:19] probably here some of the time yeah to ask that yeah yeah that's I mean your whole
[00:32:24] perception of yourself has changed not only obviously on an emotional mental level
[00:32:29] psychological level spiritual level but I mean your physical body is so different and
[00:32:35] that was within three months so we had our last call yesterday our 12th week
[00:32:41] so pretty much exactly three months to the day so it's been pretty cool to see yeah I just I
[00:32:47] am so very grateful for finding the using the mind body method and for your support
[00:32:55] truly I have scoured the planet for resources and I'm just grateful what I found you because this
[00:33:05] is exactly what I needed exactly what I needed and just I had a hard time trusting professionals
[00:33:12] you know because I would put too much faith in them and just hand over my power but and then
[00:33:19] feel disappointed but also you know it wasn't just working it wasn't doing it but I appreciate how
[00:33:26] you share your story and are so transparent that actually helped me in the beginning to
[00:33:35] be like okay she could do it and you know she's just a normal person too and
[00:33:42] it felt genuine yeah my brain was like okay let's give try one more thing
[00:33:48] one more thing yeah that's actually why I'm also having you and more people on here to share stories
[00:33:54] because actually research even shows we it really helps us to content not only continue this work
[00:34:00] but to kind of buy in in a way right that this is possible when we hear other stories of people
[00:34:04] healing it's just such a important power for a piece of this work is the education behind it
[00:34:10] what's going on and then the hope instilling that hope because like you said most of the
[00:34:14] time we get to this by the time we're just depleted jaded a little hopeless not trusting
[00:34:20] so I really appreciate you coming on here and sharing I can only imagine how helpful it is for
[00:34:26] people listening yeah yeah and I hope people if anybody that is listening that is having any of
[00:34:32] those experiences where you're about to give up hope that you know just try one more thing
[00:34:38] yeah what would you well I was about to ask maybe this is it but what would you tell
[00:34:42] someone that is where you once were before starting yeah and try to set aside what you
[00:34:48] thought you knew try to set aside what you thought you knew and give it a fair shake because our
[00:34:55] mind we are so much more powerful than we realize and I mean I think many of us kind of know that
[00:35:02] we say that but this is what that means and this is a way to actually tap into
[00:35:10] the power that we know we have inside of us that's there and you're a coach you you know I did most
[00:35:18] of the talk but you pointed me into like have you thought about this about that just enough
[00:35:25] to where I could gain confidence in my own ability to heal myself and use these tools
[00:35:32] and to where I could own it and and feel like okay now I can keep going on my own and I know what
[00:35:42] to do I'm not dependent on you know counseling forever or anything like that I have something
[00:35:50] in me now that empowers me to be able to heal and grow for the rest of my life exactly that's
[00:35:57] I mean that's the whole goal is to help you empower yourself to to heal you to have the
[00:36:02] tools and the skills exactly so perfectly put thank you Kelly thank you thank you thank you
