The place that holds our core beliefs, often learned from childhood, and can be responsible for reactions that  lead to meltdowns, crises, or feelings of midlife crisis. They  may also hold us back from true mastery where we effortlessly know how to manifest success, health, flow and abundance in our lives. Each episode holds key information to true life mastery.

Episode 509 - Stacey Sanderson - Heart Wide Open, A Holistic Guide to Self Recovery from Narcissistic Wounding - No Not Enought Button, No Wake SignStacey Sanderson and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist and Holistic Life Coach.It's my mission to help people heal and release relationship patterns and step into their power. As part of my own healing and recovery process I dove into understanding personality pathology and focused on this and the biopsychosocial roots of this issue.For the last twenty years I have sought to better understand narcissism from the point of view of trauma, attachment and energy. With many years experience as a therapist, I wanted to create a more heart-centered and holistic approach in my work with clients, integrating trauma and somatic modalities with meditation, mindfulness, expressive arts.My work is collaborative and intuitively guided. A lot of the time, this work is about empowering empaths! I believe that there is healing in connection and community. My own personal healing from narcissistic family and work systems came full circle when I stepped into my power and full potential - and I know you can do the same!I live in rural Ontario, Canada where I enjoy being in nature either running, skiing, kayaking or gardening! I have been married for 27 years and have two adult children, our beautiful rescue dog Zoe and two cats. I have a small private psychotherapy practice, and my passion is in leading the Inquire Within relationship recovery community.Book: Heart Wide OpenA Holistic Guide to Self Recovery from Narcissistic Woundingby Stacey SandersonAs a practising psychotherapist, Stacey Sanderson takes a holistic and trauma-based approach to healing in her work with clients who are—or have been—involved in narcissistic relationships. In Heart Wide Open: A Holistic Guide to Narcissistic Recovery, she delves into the roots and consequences of such relationships through a comprehensive examination of a number of factors, including attachment theory, family dynamics, and early childhood trauma. At times, Stacey draws upon her own personal experience of recovery to bring her point poignantly home. The book includes a series of self-directed exercises, or “Journal Prompts,” to help readers develop a deeper understanding of the dynamics of toxic relationships in their own lives. With Stacey's guidance, this self-delving leads readers toward self-compassion and healing through what she refers to as “Compassionate Detachment.”Heart Wide Open: A Holistic Guide to Narcissistic Recovery, written in down-to-earth accessible language, is a must-read for those who want to learn more about narcissism and narcissists, their own personal relationship patterns, and how they can create powerful interpersonal boundaries to facilitate healing. The emphasis is on recovering the vital aspects of the self that had to be hidden in order to survive the relationship. Now, it's time to break free of unhealthy cycles to make room for the love you deserve.https://www.staceysanderson.ca/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Hey Heal Squad, welcome to this special Heal Squad All Stars edition, where we delve deep into the art of self-healing with insights from three extraordinary guests: Maria Menounos, Nichole Sachs, and Anita Moorjani. Maria candidly discusses her journey of overcoming multiple diagnoses, offering invaluable lessons on resilience. Nichole introduces her transformative journaling practice, a powerful tool for confronting and processing emotions to heal chronic pain. And cancer survivor Anita highlights the pivotal role of self-love in preventing and healing both physical and emotional ailments. Join us as we explore their stories, wisdom, and practices, reminding us of the profound strength within us all. Healers and Heal-liners: Maria Menounos Adversity can either break you or it can make you stronger. I chose to let it make me stronger. Self-care isn't selfish; it's essential for your well-being and ability to thrive. Our bodies have an incredible capacity to heal when we nurture them with love and compassion. Healers and Heal-liners: Nichole Sachs Journaling isn't just about writing down your thoughts; it's about unearthing your inner truths and finding healing within. Vulnerability isn't a weakness; it's a courageous step towards authenticity and wholeness. Mindfulness is the key to unlocking the present moment, where true healing and transformation reside. Healers and Heal-liners: Anita Moorjani Self-love is the greatest healer; it's the foundation upon which all healing begins. Fearlessness isn't the absence of fear; it's the courage to embrace life fully, despite fear's presence. Your intuition is your inner compass; trust it to lead you toward your highest truth and deepest healing.

If you struggle with porn addiction, ever wonder where your cravings come from? Addiction cravings are not simply due to “manly urges” or a genetic predisposition. They are a result of our mental state.Having a recovery mindset is all about leaning into discomfort. It's also about changing your focus. In this episode, I share one of the greatest tips to overcome porn addiction that I know of. It's not a magic pill, but it certainly does make a difference. I remember how hard it was for me to quit porn. I tried so many different things to stop - filters, willpower, not thinking about it, accountability buddies. Some of it helped, but nothing taught me how to get rid of porn addiction completely. Today, I talk about how to undo stress, improve mental health, and overcome a specific habit that is driving you to your addiction.For more porn addiction help, be sure to like, follow, and rate this podcast! Learn more about my porn addiction recovery coaching programDownload my FREE PORN RECOVERY EBOOKPorn Addiction and PerfectionismHow to Let Go of Shame and Porn AddictionOvercoming Shame Habits & Building Empathy | Porn Addiction's Emotional EffectsNo More Desire

In light of a recent tragedy in the saddle hunting world, I felt it was imperative that I did a detailed podcast on tree stand/saddle safety and self recovery techniques. No better person to discuss this with than Cary Gibson, a 20+ year professional arborist. We talk about everything from how to climb, the best equipment to use, how to set a tree stand safely and what techniques and equipment you need with you to get yourself down safely from a tree when something goes wrong when you're 18 feet up. Take this stuff seriously folks! You'll have to excuse the audio on this one as Cary's connection cuts out quite a bit, but I felt it was supremely important we get this information out there.

Podquest and TEDxFaurotPark proudly present... The Golden Mic Podcast w/ Marc Cordon Ep. 103 How to Connect with an Addicted Love One with PEACE w/ Michelle Weidenbenner https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0103_weidenbenner "If you can recapture your identity and purpose, you will find joy." - Michelle Weidenbenner Michelle belonged to a great family - a family who supported her, provided the means for her to attend a great school, and provided her with the spiritual scaffolding to believe in something greater than herself. It was a perfect template to use as she became a mother of three. But it was with her son Ryan that providing wasn't enough. At first, Ryan was drinking with his friends in high school which could be seen as fairly innocuous since so many people drink in high school. But down the line, drinking became more frequent and a heavy heroin and meth addition for Michelle's oldest son. Soon Michelle was struggling to understand her role as a parent and someone who didn't want to enable her son. She attended ALANON meetings but they didn't seem to land. As she began to grow from her experience, Michelle wrote the book, Moms Letting Go Without Giving Up: Seven Steps to Self-Recovery. She knew she was on to something as she was flooded with thank you's from parents who struggled with the same issues. She created a Facebook group for families to know that they aren't alone. And she'll be sharing her experience, strength and hope at TEDxFaurotPark with her talk How to Connect with an Addicted Loved One with PEACE.

Greetings from Arkansas! Today I am reminded of Brigadier General William Orlando Darby, the founder of the 75th Ranger Battalion. General Darby always went the extra mile to serve his country and shaped how some of us serve today. General Darby's mentality was never to leave a man behind and that's how we should still operate today even years after service. *********Got some questions?

Greetings from Destin, Florida!While I thought my journey was guiding me to the beach, I was actually destined to run into an old Army buddy from years ago. As I bumped into this 'stranger' it didn't take long to realize we had served together. In this episode, I share our conversation and why it's important to reconnect with your battle buddies. While we may have seen some hard times in service, we also shared some pretty great memories. Sharing these memories can help remind us why we served, the pride we felt, and why being a part of the veteran community is so special.Got a question?

For many veterans, the bonds they share with their fellow service members are some of the strongest they'll ever experience. These bonds are formed through shared experiences and a deep sense of purpose and often continue long after leaving the military. Unfortunately, for many veterans, these connections can slowly fade over time. But there's no need to let that happen! Reaching out to your brothers and sisters in arms is a great way to reconnect and strengthen those bonds. Whether you meet up for coffee, go on a hike together, or just shoot the breeze over email or social media, taking the time to connect with one another is definitely worth it. So don't wait - go ahead and reach out to your old friends from "the life." You won't regret it.Are you ready to get the VA rating you deserve?

If you're struggling with PTSD or other mental health symptoms, your hobbies could be the key to healing. For me, it's riding my Harley! Riding my bike across America on my motorcycle has given me a sense of accomplishment and empowerment that is helping me heal some wounds while also providing an amazing form of escape from daily life responsibilities. It's been said before but it bears repeating: doing what makes us happy is key to overcoming any mental health struggle - whether it's post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression/anxiety symptoms....or anything else really. Hobbies are a great way to start building yourself up again because they allow creativity and self-expression while letting go of daily responsibilities for an hour or two.Are you ready to get the VA rating you deserve?

Just in time for the holidays, Dr. Dan Hochman joins us to offer oodles of great advice when it comes to the "messy" areas of sobriety. I'm looking at you, holiday stress. Dan has worked extensively in treatment centers, and in his private practice he focuses on treating addiction cases in which other programs, fellowships and interventions simply haven't worked. Frustrated by the number of people who felt let down, even hopeless, he created his own online program called Self Recovery, through which participants take ownership of their recovery and design the program that works specifically for them. In the podcast, he gave some terrific broad advice, but things got really interesting (and helpful!) when he was given some specific details from listeners' dilemmas. Follow Self Recovery on ...

For a mother faced with an addicted son or daughter – whether to alcohol, drugs etc - the struggle to stay sane while trying to save them (and cope with the pain) can become all-consuming.  It can turn her life into a living nightmare for herself – and the rest of her family. But what if this concern is compounded by realizing her grandchildren are impacted – possibly even in danger – due to the toxic behavior of the addict?This is what happened to Michelle Weidenbenner, today's guest on the Write the Book inside You Podcast. When she first realized her son and his wife had a serious addiction problem, Michelle says she had no place to turn to get support and understanding about what she was going through.  Her friends would say “well don't enable him” and “he'll have to reach rock bottom.” But for Michelle, this was no help.  “What did they mean?” she asked, “that he had to die?  I didn't think he wanted to be in that place of despair.”Her 7-Step program for "Mom recovery" follows the metaphor of a seed from germination to flowering because she says: "An award-winning author of novels, an inspirational memoir, and children's books, Michelle never envisaged her retirement years like this.Instead of playing golf, writing books, and enjoying time with her husband and grandchildren – she has answered a God-calling to share how she recovered from the pain in her family situation – and now shows Moms of Addicted Loved Ones that they can too.PLEASE PASS ON THIS EPISODE AND THE DETAILS BELOW TO ANYONE YOU KNOW THIS MAY HELP GRAPPLING WITH A SIMILAR SITUATION.For Michelle Weidenbenner's program and a free copy of her book here: https://michelleweidenbenner.comGet help by joining her community of Moms in her Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/ChiefHopeBuilderFree tips from Caryl Westmore to get started writing your book5 Book Hook Tips to Jump Start your book Writing JourneyKey Points From This Episode:The motivation behind Michelle's book and her journey as a mother of an addicted son. Repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic for recovering addicts and their families. Michelle's perspectives on 'mom-guilt' and the cycle that mothers go through dealing with a child's problems. What it means to let go and make healthier decisions for everyone in the family The seed and the flower; the seven-step growth process of self-recovery.Grounding factors for mothers and the hope that shared stories can provide.Michelle's experience taking responsibility for her grandchildren to keep them safe. The importance of clarity and how Michelle goes about emphasizing this through her work.  Focussing on a specific audi✅ Recommended - get my FREE CHECKLIST:5 Book Hooks you must have to Captivate non-fiction Readers: Checklist (Free): https://www.writethebookinsideyou.com/freegift ✅ Connect with Caryl Westmore on social media! https://www.facebook.com/carylwestmoreauthorhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/bookinsideyouhttps://twitter.com/carylwestmoreukShow Sponsors: Books for Writers by Caryl Westmore: Bust Writer's Block Forever www.bustwritersblock.com and The Inner Path of Writing, Make Love not War to the Writer Within .

He inspired us early on with what he'd done, from initial talks we knew we'd found a like-minded individual. This is Sam's 1st official interview, but he's been on the show a million times before! In fact, Sam probably has more chop up hours (talks) than ANYONE to date! That's our boy right there; he's also a recent father! Go read 24 Rungs: it's an authentic life experience, that helps in the way Good Morning Aurora helps. It's all about lifting others up through the shared life experience. Shouts go out to the Hall family, also the Thompson, Fultz, Arroyo & Battaglia families. Aurora Public Library, Gillerson's, Aurora Interfaith Food Pantry & Mutual Ground (keep up the good work)! In the midst of what seems like chaos, there is still a lot of great stuff happening. Let's continue to focus on the positive.

Dr. Julia Carlson is a chiropractor in Eau Claire, Wi. Mother, business owner, and long time believer in healing the body in the most natural of ways. We discuss her upcoming Self Recovery Workshop Saturday Feb 1, 2020, and how adjusting the body can keep you in a neutral state and allows you to become more aware of yourself and your child. Children of all ages have seen a lot of benefits from visiting Dr. Julia for many issues. Please let Dr. Julia tell you about herself;My name is Dr. Julia Carlson, and I own Carlson Chiropractic Clinic in Eau Claire. I live in Eau Claire with my husband whom I've been married to for nearly 17 years, and my 4 year old son Silas, who was born on Christmas Day. We also have a diabetic and blind Dalmatian mix named Uecker, as in Bob Uecker. I opened my own practice in 2013, following 5 years of practice as an associate chiropractor. My version of chiropractic focuses on the health of the nervous system. My goal is to measure the body's ability to communicate information effectively between the brain and the body. When it's not, it's in fight or flight; fight or flight is the body's stress response. When you are in stress response, or protection, your body CANNOT heal on its own. The stress response can be re-wired by chiropractic, specifically and orderly. I love holding space for patients while they heal their nervous systems. It provides so many other benefits such as better sleep, less anxiety and better potential for healing from injury and repetitive activity. In children in can provide healing to common ailments like colic, torticollis, ear infections and constant colds and sickness. I absolutely LOVE what I do! #carlsonchiropracticec #eauclairechiropractor #nervoussystemhealth #stressless #healfaster #gethealthystayhealthy #chiropracticisforeveryone #getadjusted #livebetterAddress: Carlson Chiropractic Clinic 3119 Golf Road, Suite 103 Eau Claire, WI 54701Phone: 715-514-2833Email: carlsonchiropracticec@gmail.comWebsite: http://carlsonchiropracticclinic.com/wordpress/Sign up for Julia’s Self Recovery Workshop on Saturday February 1, 2020, at this linkhttp://carlsonchiropracticclinic.com/wordpress/events/To send Pat or Dr. Julia Carlson a question or comment email us at:Email --- adultingwith@gmail.comFollow Pat @INSTAGRAM --- https://www.instagram.com/thepatrickdavy/FACEBOOK --- https://www.facebook.com/patrick.davy.39

A Still Standing Podcast Exclusive Interview with Psychotherapist and Licensed Professional Counselor, Carolyn Hannan Bell, who specializes in codependency and works with depression and anxiety for over 20 years.  Our Still Standing Together Podcast Exclusives offer a voice and platform for people making positive impacts in the world to share their mission, message and inspiration.  Carolyn often works with families and individuals suffering from the emotional affects of alcohol and substance abuse, and has written 4 books helping children understand addiction and alcoholism working to make a difference for families struggling with this. But, what is codependency??  We've found a few ways to explain it before you listen... "Codependency is a controversial and likely pseudoscientific concept for a dysfunctional helping relationship where one person supports or enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. Among the core characteristics of codependency, the most common theme is an excessive reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity." (Wikipedia) "The traditional definition of codependency has focused on control, nurturing, and maintenance of relationships with individuals who are chemically dependent, or engaging in undesirable behaviors, such as narcissism." (Psychology Today) "Codependency is characterized by a person belonging to a dysfunctional, one-sided relationship where one person relies on the other for meeting nearly all of their emotional and self-esteem needs." (Psych Central) "Because codependency is often misunderstood, many professionals are seeking a new way to describe this pattern of loss of oneself and difficulty with regulating emotions." (Psychology Today)   In this episode, you'll hear from Carolyn on... ~Her experience with loss and alcoholism that has brought her to her career and mission. ~Communication Boundaries in Relationships ~What to Understand when Working with a Codependent or Addicted Person. ~How to Stay on Your Journey of Self-Recovery. ~Tools for Talking to Children about Mental Health and Addiction. ~Adjusting to Change During Recovery and Healing     You can learn more about Carolyn's Helping Children Understand Book Series by visiting CarolynHannanBell.com.     Follow Us!

This episode features a conversation with guest expert Karla Benson Rutten on how to talk about race and difference. Karla works at Girl Scouts River Valleys as the Vice President of Community Engagement, developing strategies to help Girl Scouts be culturally responsive, relevant, and accessible to girls in communities of color. She also founded and runs her own coaching, consulting, and training firm focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Karla is a facilitator and advocate with tons of experience in higher education, diversity, social justice, and sexual violence prevention program development, which are important topics that we know a lot of girls are passionate about. Hannah and Shanna had a great conversation with Karla about representation, trust, building relationships, and how to engage in dialog that will help build your community with people who don't look like you or share your same culture. We'll talk about when we first noticed race and difference, and how it can sometimes be hard to be curious and ask questions about people who are different from ourselves. A lot of what makes it hard comes from things many of us were taught about what is polite or appropriate to talk about, and concepts about race like "colorblindness" that can hinder us from forming relationships with people who are different from us. Our takeaway— Respect, curiosity, and good intent are important and can be helpful tools for starting conversations. They can help us get past feelings of not wanting to say the wrong thing or fear of sounding ignorant. It's all about acknowledging bias, being open, and expanding what we do to grow ourselves. We hope you'll use some of the tools from this episode to start your own conversations. Stay tuned at the end for Would You Rather and Girls Pick! Looking to connect with our podcast team?

When you walk in to a motorcycle shop the selection of riding gloves can be overwhelming. And which do you choose? What materials should you be considering? David Hough has some expert tips to help you the next time you’re looking at gloves and need to make a decision on which ones you’re going to depend on to keep your hands safe. And when your motorcycle gets stuck or falls in a way that’s difficult to pick up, you can be left standing there scratching your head, especially if you’re on your own. But, not if you have this self recovery system, called a Z-Drag.

Most families recovering from the catastrophe of a disaster rebuild their own homes. This practice of self-recovery by non-displaced communities has potential for displaced populations too.

“Your heart has to be ready to handle the weight of your calling,” is what she said casually over Korean BBQ, and for this reason and more I grew up reading bell hooks. ‘Sisters of the Yam: Black Women and Self-Recovery’ was my first dance with her mind. In it she taught me how to identify the ways that patriarchy, white supremacy and global capitalism threatened humanity’s well-being. More specifically, she challenged me to examine the ways in which our own families replicate models of oppression, sometimes trumping the need, or the awareness of the need, for self-care. bell hooks called on me to think critically as a strategy to heal from social and emotional trauma, a task that would require a lifetime of unlearning. When commissioned by Dr. Melynda Price, Chair of the African American and Africana Program at the Univ. of Kentucky to make this mix, I was struck by the fact that not a single song came to mind, which is unusual for my process. Typically I have an idea of the direction of the mix, with at least one song to start. But bell hooks has written over 30 books. What could I say musically that would affirm, celebrate and soundtrack her commitment to education, activism, radical openness and feminist scholarship? What music could match ‘the life of her mind?’ The moment I asked that question, Nina Simone appeared. I had a start. I continued to dig deep into the crates of bell hooks’ life in search of clues about music she loved. On one of those days, after a few hours of probing, she mentioned Tracy Chapman in a lecture. My second artist arrived. From there, I recognized that women’s voices would occupy a large amount of space on the mix. And how easy it would be to create a mix using only women to pay tribute to a world-renowned feminist thinker, right? No, this would not be true to the range of music I have access to, or the core of her ideas. bell warns us to not confuse patriarchy with masculinity. Teaching us that patriarchal dominance can only be destroyed when all of us adopt feminist politics. That said, I invited men to be a part of the honoring, particularly men I feel loved by. Would bell love Bilal? In the song ‘Robots,’ he critiques hyper consumerism similarly to the way she critiques the commodification of Black culture in her work. And Lionel Hampton is from Kentucky, did she grow up listening to the sound of his vibraphone? And consistently she’s made the important distinction between misogynistic and ‘conscious’ rap, would she dig Mos Def? And could Gregory Porter, speak to her encounter with desegregation in the classrooms of the Black south? In this moment I decided to put together a compilation of music that would communicate the essence of her message, or at least, my understanding of it. It would be a mix in dialogue form. I’ve learned so much from bell’s refusal to adhere to restrictions about what she could and could not write about, and what topics she could and could not explore. When she shifted her focus from critical gender theory with books like Ain’t I Woman: Black Women and Feminism and Yearning: Race, Gender and Cultural Politics to a series of books focused solely on love (Salvation, Communion and All About Love), I knew she was making the decision to become more accessible to communities, beyond the academy. I knew she wanted to have more nuanced conversations about the revolutionary qualities of love and through this series, I was reminded that love was located at the center of the pursuit of social justice. For this reason, I felt jazz had a place among the songs. Betty Carter’s ‘Open the Door’ and Freddie Hubbard’s ‘Red Clay’ has so much emotional and cultural wealth, and jazz itself provided the soundscape for many social movements and plenty of freedom fighters, Malcolm X included. I discovered the Uptown String Quartet in my college years while working in a record store. I was excited by the fact that they were four classically trained Black women musicians from Harlem and one of them, Maxine Roach, was the daughter of jazz drummer Max Roach. I’ve been listening to their song “JJ’s Jam” for about 20 years and never imagined having the opportunity to add it to one of my mixes. It’s a song from some of the quietest moments in my life; a song with so much space and beauty that I wanted to play with voices and personalities over the music. I thought of the bell hooks book “Rock My Soul: Black People and Self-Esteem,” which features the hand of fellow Kentuckian Muhammad Ali, whom bell loves, on its cover. In my research I discovered an interview between Nikki Giovanni and Ali and it fit perfectly between the song’s imaginary lines. Another book that came to mind during my process was Wounds of Passion: A Writing Life. It’s a memoir about love, writing and sexuality. Wounds of Passion tells the story of how bell wrestled with an emotionally charged long-term relationship that forced a questioning of her values and worldview. At the same time she was managing the stress of being a black woman academic in hostile predominantly white institutions. She shares that this was one of the most tumultuous romantic partnerships in her life, one that she still refers to, one that still tugs at her heart. Frida Kahlo and Diego came to mind and I used my favorite song from the movie’s soundtrack (Frida), “Alcoba Azul” to express the emotions that give birth to a complicated, transformative and sacrificial love. Finally, I wanted to leave listeners with the opportunity to feel a sense of hope. To operate from a place of abundance and not the despair normally attached to the business of struggle. I selected a song inspired by something I heard bell hooks say in an interview. She shared that through his life as a farmer and with his profound appreciation of the earth, her grandfather taught her about the importance of life beyond suffering. She took from him that people of color needed to move away from what can feel like a commitment to misery and shift our focus towards self-sufficiency, pleasure, joy and self-care. Aretha Franklin’s “How I Got Over” from the “Amazing Grace” album worked perfectly for these words. I had the opportunity to present this mix to bell hooks in person. She attended my lecture at the University of Kentucky’s Finding our Place: A Conference in Honor of the Work and Writing of bell hooks. I was moved beyond words by the level of attention she paid to my every sentence, image and sound. I was almost brought to tears when she cheered me on as an active and vocal member of the audience. She expressed to me a love for my mind, an interest in my work and an excitement about being fully seen by me, through my art. We broke bread and shared intimate stories about our histories and exchanged visions of our future. It’s safe to say we bonded. She invited me to her home and pointed out her most precious possessions; her books, kitchen, and meditation space. Her home was a Frida Khalo inspired sacred place with art collected from her travels around the world. The yellow and red painted wooden benches and chairs brought the African and Latin Diaspora to Berea, Kentucky. I felt instantly that the mix was a success. My selections were true of who I thought she was within and beyond print. bell hooks is a genius. she’s vulnerable and complex, sharp and unashamed of the way she walks the world. And with her courage, discipline and dedication, she’s carved out space for me to exist. Please enjoy “Soulful Critical Thought: bell hooks and the Making of a DJ Scholar,” for it was without a doubt, a labor of love.
