The scale of Sarah Neubert's work varies from miniature to monumental, from small pieces such as earrings to room-sized installations. She dreams of creating entire woven environments that are sensory and tactile, like cocoons or sanctuaries of fiber. Working on a large scale allows her to explore new techniques and push the boundaries of her art. However, she also appreciates the sense of accomplishment that comes from creating small, wearable pieces. Her classes at the upcoming Weave Together with Handwoven (https://weavetogether.handwovenmagazine.com/) event in February 2024 will let students work on a small tapestry loom to explore some of her favorite subjects. When Sarah teaches tapestry weaving with nontraditional wefts, she often brings found and foraged materials and invites students to bring their own elements to incorporate. Although these may be nontraditional (and even sometimes non-yarn), the weaving skills to incorporate and stabilize them strengthen the student's grasp of weaving fundamentals. A class in textural weaving includes hand-manipulated techniques, traditional skills that she employs in very nontraditional ways. One of her recent projects, a Woven Upholstery Mending tutorial (https://www.sarahneubert.com/woven-mending), started with a refusal to just dispose of the couch that her cats had clawed. Using her weaving skills in a different application, she repaired her couch with rope and sturdy tools. When she shared her project and results on social media, the interest and enthusiasm were overwhelming. Sarah found herself designing and filming a course on how to create your own woven mends on furniture. Instead of charging to view the class, Sarah has posted it on YouTube on a donation-based model in hopes of keeping other couches out of landfills. “I think having an energetic exchange is important in a lot of spaces, and I was really grateful for the people that donated,” she says. Weaving isn't just a form of art for Sarah, it's also therapeutic. At first accidentally and now deliberately, she has found relief from anxiety and an opportunity to process her emotions while working at the loom. She experiences this as a flow state, an opportunity to heal. Although her early experiences as a weaver were fraught with perfectionism, she now explores how to make a piece the best she can . . . and then make room for the next project.

Throughout our lives, we all experience a barrage of small “t” traumas, and when facing a crisis, we do whatever we can to get through it. However, once that crisis has passed, people often continue trying to deal with the trauma to re-establish their stability.In March of 2021, amidst all the challenges of the COVID crisis, I had the privilege of interviewing the remarkable Dr. Kemia Sarraf. In our discussion, we dove into the reality of trauma, and Kermia explained how to mitigate its impact. That interview was one of our most popular and impactful interviews ever. This week, we revisit it. Kemia, also known by many as Dr. K, is a physician, educator, and leadership coach with a sub-specialty in leadership and coaching on severe burnout, toxic stress, and trauma. She is the founder and CEO of Lodestar, a professional coaching and consulting firm using a 360-degree trauma-aware container for coaching, coach training, leadership training, and justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion facilitation. Join us today to learn from Dr. K's profound insights as she weaves her personal stories into her extensive coaching experience to navigate the delicate balance between coaching and therapy. This interview will enlighten you and hopefully leave you feeling lighter and more empowered!Show Highlights:Kermia shares her personal experience of trauma and explains how it impacted her life and her workWhat coaching teaches usHow the effects of burnout go far deeper than just the symptomsHow toxic stress impacts individuals and communitiesThe importance of recognizing and addressing small “t” traumasWhat is the difference between coaching and therapy?Why it is essential to understand trauma without necessarily having to know every detail about its causeHow grounding techniques can help people in the midst of a crisis regain controlKermia shares her personal experience with ACEs (Adverse Childhood Events)Why is trauma-informed counseling essential for healing?How trauma mitigation coaches help people recognize their agency and develop the necessary skills to manage traumatic encountersBio: Dr. Kemia Sarraf - or "Dr. K" as she is most often known - is an internist, educator, and physician & leadership coach whose subspecialty paradigm focuses on leadership and coaching in and beyond severe burnout, toxic stress, and the trauma of these times. She is the founder and CEO of Lodestar, a professional coaching and consulting firm that utilizes a 360° trauma-aware container for coaching, coach training, leadership training, and Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion facilitation.Dr. Sarraf received her Medical Degree and Master of Public Health at the University of Utah School of Medicine and completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University School of Medicine. She serves as Adjunct Asst. Professor at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine where she works in the office of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.A gifted storyteller and much-sought speaker, Dr. K's communication style is deeply intuitive, rooted in both the power of connection and the knowledge that intratraumatic growth is not just aspirational, but possible. Weaving her background and deep understanding of trauma and the multivariate ways in which it "shows up" with her skills as an executive coach, Dr. K's trademarked coaching paradigm has a lens tuned to the vicarious or secondary trauma that is a part of daily life for high achieving, hard-driving, highly skilled professionals in any industry.Blending extensive experience with balance, humor, and endless empathy, Dr. K has helped countless physicians and...

Usually, discourses on the planetary evolution and the movements of slaves remain restricted within the narratives and scholarships of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and hardly engage with the evolution, movements, and shifts about the Indian Ocean World (IOW) slave trade. But multiple published, unpublished, authored, and non-authored historical documents like the historical records of Greco-Egyptian monk Cosmos Indicopleustes (sixth century BC), the Periplus of the Erythrean Sea (firstcentury CE), the travelogues of Ibn Battuta (fourteenth century), historical records of Tome Pires (sixteenth century), accounts of British historians William Hawkins and Sir Thomas Roe (seventeenth century), accounts of French historian Abbe Carre (seventeenth century), accounts of French Lieutenant de Grandpre (nineteenth century), and many more mention about the trade relations between India and different parts for Africa. The items of trade involved exotic stones, exotic spices, domestic objects, and local people. Despite the existence of these diverse archival documents on the IOW trade activities, any discourses on the IOW continue to remain an understatement. The narratives on the IOW, to a vast extent, have been shaped by Western/colonial historians, who have imaginatively constructed the IOW within separate geographical, cultural, epistemological, and ontological enclaves.  Based on these socio-historical arguments, Sayan Dey's book Performing Memories and Weaving Archives: Creolized Cultures across the Indian Ocean (Anthem Press, 2023) unearths how Siddis in Gujarat and the South African Indians in South Africa preserve their ancestral memories through spiritual, culinary, and musical practices on the one side, and generate creolized socio-cultural spaces of collective decolonial resistance and well-being on the other.

Request A Customized Workshop For Your Company: https://www.americannegotiationinstitute.com/services/workshops/ If you've ever felt ineffective, invisible, or inarticulate, chances are you weren't actually any of those things. Those feelings may instead have been the result of a lack of awareness we all seem to have for how our words, actions, and even our mere presence affect other people. In You Have More Influence Than You Think social psychologist Vanessa Bohns draws from her original research to illustrate why we fail to recognize the influence we have, and how that lack of awareness can lead us to miss opportunities or accidentally misuse our power. Weaving together compelling stories with cutting-edge science, Bohns answers the questions we all want to know (but may be afraid to ask): How much did she take to heart what I said earlier? Do they know they can push back on my suggestions? Did he notice whether I was there today? Will they agree to help me if I ask? Whether attending a meeting, sharing a post online, or mustering the nerve to ask for a favor, we often assume our actions, input, and requests will be overlooked or rejected. Bohns and her work demonstrate that people see us, listen to us, and agree to do things for us much more than we realize―for better, and worse. You Have More Influence Than You Think offers science-based strategies for observing the effect we have on others, reconsidering our fear of rejection, and even, sometimes, pulling back to use our influence less. It is a call to stop searching for ways to gain the influence you don't have and to start recognizing the influence you don't realize you already have.

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Natural breath, long breath Bringing our awareness to the process of breathing In this practice we explore two ways of breathing, natural breath, and long breath. We alternate between these two options, paying attention to where the breath creates movement. As you pay attention to your breath, is it easy to stay focused? Do you feel more relaxed and at ease? https://simple-yoga.org  This content is inspired by the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali according to the  book Unravel the Thread by Ruben Vasquez available at:  Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737648202/  Alibris https://www.alibris.com/Unravel-the-Thread-Applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life-Rub-n-V%C3%9Fsquez/book/50532904  Barnes and Noble https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/unravel-the-thread-rub-n-v-squez/1139928755  Indiebound https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781737648208  Thriftbooks https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/unravel-the-thread-applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life_rubn-vsquez/29003752/    #yoga #simpleyoga #yogasimple #unravelthethread #yogasutra #patanjali #patanjaliyogasutra #presence yoga, yoga sutra,yoga philosophy, patanjali, awareness, consciousness, meditation, presence, memory, applied philosophy, yoga practice, pranayama, pratyahara, concentration, presence

Spirits of the Shops Halloween may be in the rearview mirror, but there are spirited tales for every season. As the holidays approach, people are heading out to find the perfect gifts for friends and family. Weaving their way through aisles of merchandise and perusing goods of every sort, it can be easy for people to lose themselves in the moment. But for every person who enters a store in the current moment there are often thousands, if not millions, who have come before. Each on a mission of their own. Each looking for that "one thing". For so many people coming and going, it can be easy to see why there might be at least one soul who never left. In addition to their current purpose, some stores may have been built on land with a spirited attachment. While others may stock antiques and other aging merchandise that continues to be cherished by an old soul. A store may not be the first thing that people think of when it comes to haunted locations, particularly with their attention focused on the winter holidays that are fast approaching. Yet there are many reasons why spirits may linger in these places, and it might just explain the shiver down your spine amidst the brightly lit aisles of the retailing world.

Na'aleh Yoga Podcast: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ By Ruthie Ayzenberg   Close your eyes and stay awake...  This is a special episode, we integrate elements of Brainspotting into the traditional Yoga Nidra practice, exploring the profound connections between inner experiences, gaze awareness, and the natural healing capacities of the brain.  Weaving together mindfulness, visualization, and Brainspotting techniques we set the stage for organic, non-invasive nervous system repair and self-healing.    What is Brainspotting, you may be wondering? It is a method developed by psychologist David Grand that involves the identification of brainspots, points in the visual field that are linked to specific emotions or topics of distress, which are used as portals to unlock and process unresolved distress. To quote David Grand, “Where you look affects how you feel.” During the process you are invited to explore the connection between your gaze and inner experiences, allowing the brain's natural healing capacities to emerge.    Please keep in mind that this meditative journey is not a replacement for a standard Brainspotting session with a therapist who is attuned to your moment-to-moment cues and the nuances of your unique situation.  Yes, this session is designed to be therapeutic, but it is NOT therapy. Rather, this is a Brainspotting-inspired Yoga Nidra session.  To experience traditional Brainspotting therapy, you are encouraged to seek out a therapist trained in this modality.  So find a quiet space, lie down, and let's dive into the healing synergy of Yoga Nidra and Brainspotting!    Episode summary: Intro Preparation: Lie down on your back in a quiet, darkened room where you would like to rest Intention Setting: Bring to mind your Intention for today's practice... Inner Resource: Resource brainspot Rotation of Consciousness: A journey through the different parts of the body, promoting body awareness and relaxation. Gaze Awareness: Gaze exploration for increased connection Visualization: A series of vivid images to be visualized in detail and experienced on multiple levels Brainspot engagement: Connecting gaze to emotion to support organic self-healing Heartfelt Desire & Intention: Returning to the intention set earlier in the practice Externalization: Transition back to external surroundings Closing: The practice of yoga nidra is now complete Outro   Music from Pixaby: "Deep Binaural Meditation" by MapaMusic   Please take a moment to leave a rating, comment, subscribe, or share this episode.

Our guest today is author and poet, Victoria Bennett. Her writing spans poetry, memoir and non-fiction, she has written and talked extensively on grief, care, and writing through times of change. In 1999, she founded the internationally celebrated Wild Women Press, an inclusive space focusing on nature, connection and creativity. Her debut memoir, All My Wild Mothers, is an intimate story of motherhood, a handbook on survival and a testimony to radical hope. Weaving of memoir and herbal folklore, it is a tale of grief and the transformation that can happen when we reconnect with the wild beneath our feet and it has something to teach us about resilience, love, and the power of joyful resistance. Victoria and her family move to a new social housing estate in rural Cumbria. Here, in the rubble of a former industrial site, she and her young son begin to grow a wild apothecary garden. Gradually they discover that sometimes life grows, not in spite of what is broken, but because of it. You can watch the full unedited interview on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFgmHLcdx28eco-XlkWYwUA Ever wondered what happens when you gather a lot of Wild Women together and tell your own stories? Do we get more creative in Menopause? Can you plant an Apothecary garden with no experience or money? (Yes you can- find out how Victoria does it). Did life turn out as you expected? Does it matter if it didn't? All these questions are discussed and so much more.  In the Book Collective book of the series, Twelve Moons. A Year Under A Shared Sky by Caro Giles.

Family Life's "Faith Under Fire" Andrea Herzer has been journaling about her life with multiple illnesses, debilitating health issues, and a strong inspiring reliance on God. She compiled those writings into a devotional book to encourage others who are looking for that pathway to a life that overflows with the Lord's sustaining love -- no matter what happens with pain, or healing, or suffering, or loss. Her book's title recognizes the way that some diagnoses are labeled "incurable". Yet, she emphasizes that hope and peace can infuse people who face cancer, chronic pain, multiple surgeries, a long convalescence, or any other health issue. Incurable Faith is a partner along that long journey. This is our second conversation with Herzer. In this interview, she talks about her early days of waiting for healing, as she first sought a return to "normal". That process of waiting and healing and abiding has now stretched across 20 years. Weaving together her experience and multiple Biblical truths, she offers what she has learned about keeping your spirit at peace. She also encourages caregivers and family members who accompany patients through such processes. Also: what friends and visitors from church do that is very unhelpful -- plus recommendations on ways to be incredibly helpful amid the patience, impatience and loneliness of longsuffering. ================== You can also listen to our first conversation with Andrea Herzer, and you'll find resources she recommends.   Resources and background: About Andrea Herzer: "infectious joy & incurable faith" A free caregivers guide Incurable Faith: 120 Devotions for Lasting Hope amid Lingering Health Issues More of her writings and prayers and videos

From Jen Golbeck, the “internet's dog mom” behind the massive social media platform The Golden Ratio, and award-winning science writer Stacey Colino, comes THE PUREST BOND: Understanding the Human-Canine Connection. This science-based, comprehensive exploration of the profound bond between humans and dogs is perfect for fans of Our Dogs, Ourselves and What the Dog Knows. Dogs have been considered people's best friend for thousands of years, but never has the relationship between humans and their canine companions been as vitally important as it is today. With all of the seismic shifts in today's world, rates of anxiety and depression have been skyrocketing, and people have been turning to their dogs for solace and stability. Amidst these dire realities, something wonderful has taken shape. In the United States alone, dog adoptions doubled during the COVID-19 pandemic. As people have brought furry friends into their lives for the first time or seized this opportunity to deepen the connections they already have, they are looking to understand how owning a dog can change their lives. The Purest Bond explores the benefits our dogs can have on our physical, emotional, cognitive, and social well-being, often without our realizing it. Weaving together groundbreaking research and touching real-life stories, THE PUREST BOND explores not just the social benefits of owning a dog but the science of how dogs improve our emotional and physical health, mental acuity, and our ability to focus and absorb information. Most importantly, they remind us of what's right in the world—love, trust, affection, playtime, fresh air, and sunshine—even when so much feels wrong.

Yvonne Chung's (she/her) work guides heart-led, soul-missioned leaders in overcoming self-doubt, mastering their energy, and unlocking the unique medicine they are here to share with the world. Weaving together Human Design, Positive Psychology, mysticism, and practical neuroscience, Yvonne bridges the gap between the intellect and intuition—the research and the woo—to help people approach their life and soul's work from a place of integrity, self-trust, and energetic alignment. In this episode, Yvonne and I discuss: - Yvonne's background and what led her to the work she does with human design and positive psychology today - How traveling around the world and leaving her corporate job led Yvonne to follow her heart and purpose - How she sees Human Design as a tool/support system for helping us become more ourselves - How she helps people see the shadow parts of their Human Design charts as teachers and medicine You can find Yvonne's work, including her free Human Design masterclasses we discussed in this episode on IG at @yvonnechung.co You can connect with Waverly's work, including her sound baths, rituals, retreats, and coaching at waverlydavis.com and on IG at @heywaverlydavis I hope you love listening to this beautiful and wise conversation as much as Yvonne and I loved having it!

Through compelling ethnography, Homelessness and Housing Advocacy: The Role of Red-Tape Warriors (Routledge, 2022) reveals the creative and ambitious methods that social service providers use to house their clients despite the conflictual conditions posed by the policies and institutions that govern the housing process. Combining in-depth interviews, extensive fieldwork, and the author's own professional experience, this book considers the perspective of social service providers who work with people experiencing homelessness and chronicles the steps they take to navigate the housing process. With assertive methods of worker-client advocacy at the center of its focus, this book beckons attention to the many variables that affect professional attempts to house homeless populations. It conveys the challenges that social service providers encounter while fitting their clients into the criteria for housing eligibility, the opposition they receive, and the innovative approaches they ultimately take to optimize housing placements for their clients who are, or were formerly, experiencing homelessness. Weaving as it does between issues of poverty, social inequality, and social policy, Homelessness and Housing Advocacy will appeal to courses in social work, sociology, and public policy and fill a void for early-career professionals in housing and community services.

Chinese was the earliest truly global cuisine. When the first Chinese labourers began to sojourn and settle abroad, restaurants appeared in their wake. Yet Chinese food has the curious distinction of being both one of the world's best-loved culinary traditions and one of the least understood. For more than a century, the overwhelming dominance of a simplified form of Cantonese cooking ensured that few foreigners experienced anything of its richness and sophistication - but today that is beginning to change. In Invitation to a Banquet: The Story of Chinese Food (Norton, 2023), the James Beard Award-winning cook and writer Fuchsia Dunlop explores the history, philosophy and techniques of China's rich and ancient culinary culture. Each chapter examines a classic dish, from mapo tofu to Dongpo pork, knife-scraped noodles to braised pomelo pith, to reveal a singular aspect of Chinese gastronomy, whether it's the importance of the soybean, the lure of exotic ingredients or the history of Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. Meeting local food producers, chefs, gourmets and home cooks as she tastes her way across the country, Fuchsia invites readers to join her on an unforgettable journey into Chinese food as it is made, cooked, eaten and considered in its homeland. Weaving together historical scholarship, mouth-watering descriptions of food and on-the-ground research conducted over the course of three decades, Invitation to a Banquet is a lively, landmark tribute to the pleasures and mysteries of Chinese cuisine. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: What are you thinking? What do you notice when you pay attention to your thoughts? In this practice we explored the nature of the thoughts we notice in our field of awareness. We paid attention to how our thoughts manifest, we also noticed their fluctuations, their location, their origin. We also explored staying with a thought and trying to bring it to completion. https://simple-yoga.org  This content is inspired by the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali according to the  book Unravel the Thread by Ruben Vasquez available at:  Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737648202/  Alibris https://www.alibris.com/Unravel-the-Thread-Applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life-Rub-n-V%C3%9Fsquez/book/50532904  Barnes and Noble https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/unravel-the-thread-rub-n-v-squez/1139928755  Indiebound https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781737648208  Thriftbooks https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/unravel-the-thread-applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life_rubn-vsquez/29003752/    #yoga #simpleyoga #yogasimple #unravelthethread #yogasutra #patanjali #patanjaliyogasutra #presence yoga, yoga sutra,yoga philosophy, patanjali, awareness, consciousness, meditation, presence, memory, applied philosophy, yoga practice, pranayama, pratyahara, concentration, presence

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you an attorney who needs a new elevator pitch? In this episode, host Tyson introduces the "What Why How" method, a strategy for articulating one's professional role and purpose that can elevate a law practice.This method can be used as an elevator pitch or if you are wanting to express what your firm does to clients. It is a 4 step process that is designed to articulate what you do, why it matters how it is done and who you serve. There are 4 questions to ask yourself: Why do I do it/Why is it helpful? How do I accomplish it? What is my niche/practice area? What kind of lawyer am I?This can be taken to another level by adding some storytelling to give the method some life. This allows for more relatability and passion. As a lawyer there are many stories of struggle and strife that clients go through to get their lives back in order. For personal injury lawyers like Tyson, many clients suffer financial loss and mental stress. Weaving in stories of clients who need help and expressing how you are going to help them are great ways to showcase what you do.Take a listen!1:03 The “what, why, how method”2:15 Method example 3:57 Adding storytelling to the method Resources: Join the Guild Membership Subscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube Channel Follow us on Instagram Join the Facebook Group Follow the Facebook Page Follow us on LinkedIn

Felicia Lo spent most of her college years wearing a lot of black. The bright, happy color combinations that she loved as a child—lime green and hot pink, pink and yellow—didn't fit other people's idea of what colors went together, so she avoided wearing colors altogether. It took years to begin introducing color into her wardrobe again. As handdyeing began its groundswell in the early 2000s, Felicia began experimenting with dyeing fiber and then yarn. As it turned out, fiber artists across the world thought that her color sense was not only acceptable but irresistible. What began as a casual project in 2005 has grown into a company with a dozen staff members, hundreds of colorways, and a roster of yarn and fiber bases. Yet despite the company's larger scale, each skein or braid of fiber is still prepared, colored, rinsed, and packaged by hand. Maintaining consistency in their very handmade product has meant transforming SweetGeorgia from her initial solo project into a team effort, with staff members collaborating on new colors and initiatives. Felicia published her book Dyeing to Spin & Knit in 2017, with techniques for fiber artists to choose colors, apply them effectively, and use their handdyed creations. That same year, she founded the School of SweetGeorgia to offer online classes and community, first in handdyeing and later in knitting, spinning, weaving, and other fiber arts. Although her fiber-arts practices stretch from spinning to crochet, tapestry, machine knitting, and weaving, Felicia always has a knitting project on the needles . . . and these days, it's almost certainly not black. More of our conversation with Felicia, including what's on her needles and her suggestions on how to choose yarn colors for a knitting project how to choose the right yarn structure for a knitted project, is available in the library (https://farmfiberknits.com/library/CxLIBUXRRtOoXdNqgvPh_Q) for subscribers to Farm & Fiber Knits.

They dance together in your mind, Weaving their stories and haunting you with each scene. Your stomach is in knots.  And your adrenaline is pumping. So begin with a deep breath in, my love, So those demonic thoughts can disappear once and for all. Breathe… Deeply, Fully. Extracting your attention from those thoughts, And bringing them here onto your breath. Following the air in through your nose, Down your chest, And deep into your belly. PAUSE… Feel your inhale expand your body, As you breathe just a bit deeper with every breath in, And extend your exhale with every breath out.  Slow it down. PAUSE… You are perfect right here. Just the way you are.  Exactly where you need to be in this moment.  Breathe, And as you breathe out, Relax your body deeper into your bed, Falling heavily into the sheets beneath you. PAUSE… Gather up those fears, Those worries, Those regrets, Those upsets and discomforts. All of those ghostly thoughts haunting you, And gently blow them away with every full exhale.  Breathe… And blow away the thoughts. Breathe… And let go of it all. PAUSE… Let go of your anger. Let go of your fear. Let go of your self-judgments, Let go of your discomfort.  Let it all go, As you breathe out fully, And sink further into your bed.  PAUSE… Forgive yourself, my love, And set yourself free. Forgive others, So you can truly heal.  PAUSE… Tomorrow you can lean into the lessons learned, Or the logic of it all. But tonight,  Right now, Fall back into the comforting arms of sleep, And let her protect you here in the night, Shielding you from those thoughts, And dissolving them all away. PAUSE… Relax deeply, And watch those haunting thoughts float further and further away from you, Releasing their hold on you, And you releasing your hold on them.  Watch as they fade into the night, Leaving you feeling free, Light, And whole.  You are safe here, my love. Far away from the creatures of your mind. And deep in the clouds of love. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.
