SHARED CROSSINGS with WILLIAM J. PETERS “Synchronicities happen pre-death, at death, post-death… cloud formations, lights, energetic things, clocks stopping, phones ringing, digital displays, all sorts of things. There's all sorts of quantitative data to decipher whether this is possible within pure chance. There's no way these are coincidence; there's something else happening here and it's profound.” -- William J. Peters Episode Summary: Is the very idea of the death of a precious dear one just too much to even consider? What if you could participate in the end-of-life experience of your loved one? What if those experiences allowed you to diminish - or maybe even lose - your fear of death? William J. Peters is the founder of the Shared Crossing Project whose mission is to positively transform relationships to death and dying through education and raising awareness about shared crossings and their healing benefits. Director of the Shared Crossing Research Initiative (SCRI), William and his team collect and study extraordinary end-of-life experiences, also known as shared crossings. William has developed methods to actually facilitate shared crossings and to help you meaningfully integrate those experiences. A psychotherapist at the Family Therapy Institute of Santa Barbara, William specializes in end-of-life counseling as a means toward psycho-spiritual evolution. A frequent presenter, William's book entitled At Heaven's Door: What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better (Simon & Schuster) is available now. William's work is informed by his not one but two Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and so many Shared Death Experiences (SDE) while serving as a hospice worker with the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco. William J. Peters and Dr Amy Robbin's enjoy an upbeat conversation about their favorite topic: the transition from this human life to into the next world. Listen in to hear William make sense of some of Amy's own very personal shared death experiences. Her mind is blown! Topics We Discuss in Part 1: [4:20] William's two near death and shared death experiences. First, after a horrible accident on a ski slope, hovering over his body, and telling God that wasn't ready to die. And secondly in the ICU – hovering over his body, seeing the hospital staff working on his body, hearing the doctor calling out his name. [11:40] Years later while sitting bedside in hospice, William “popped out” of his body and was able to communicate with essence, or possibly the soul, of the dying man. [13:20] Fascinating end-of-life phenomenon, which William calls “shared crossings”: shared death experiences, pre-death premonitions and visitations, terminal lucidity, direct post-death communication, post-death visions, dreams and visitations, synchronicities. [20:00] Differentiating a shared crossings “adept” vs. a medium – basically it is about who places the call. [28:15] What William means by the euphemism he uses “traversing the veil”. And what William feels bedside during this shared death experience crossing over the veil between this life and the next with the dying soul. [33:10] The difference between a near death experience and a shared death experience. How difficult it is for the medical community to dismiss a shared death experience. Topics We Discuss in Part 2: [1:50] William's methods to enable shared death experiences – talking about death, working through psycho-emotional luggage, meditation, spiritual explorations, guided visualizations. Ultimately to become more comfortable with the idea of death. William offers courses [6:01] Losing the fear of death can extend the length of life, even after a terminal diagnosis. [8:20] Shared death experiencers report a deep inner knowing around dying. 51% of loved ones encounter the dying, 16% see a non-human, elevated highly evolved being (angel or spirit guide or other benevolent being of light); 13% experience a deceased relative, 12% of the time someone “sees” the spirit leaving the body. [13:14] The multiple dimensions of shared death experiences, from experiences in our normal earthy dimension, ending with “going into the light”. [20:18] William answers Amy's speed round questions… Spirituality means…? What is something most people don't know about you? What is one thing you're looking forward to? What are you grateful for right now? What book is on your nightstand? What is the most transformative experience of your life? [29:29] Amy's own recent shared death experience involving the imminent crossing of her sister-in-law's grandmother, and messages relayed. Follow William J.

Curated News The Almanac A Seasonal Guide to 2021by Lia Leendertz Mercy Park garden adds 3 new sculptures | The Joplin Globe | Emily Younker Important Events November 3, 1766 On this day, a young botanist named William Young returned to America after receiving the title of the Queen's botanist. William Young was born in Germany, and he immigrated to the United States when he was just a little boy at the age of two. His family settled in Philadelphia and eventually became neighbors to one of America's first botanists, John Bartram. Growing up, William spent a great deal of his childhood exploring Bartram's gardens. Bertram even encouraged him to pursue botany, and he took him along on some collecting trips. By all accounts, William was a smart and self-directed young man. When he was in his early twenties, he decided that he wanted to get the attention of the brand new Queen of England, Queen Charlotte. Charlotte was the bride of George III, and William put together a little parcel for her - a little gift of seeds - along with a letter (no doubt congratulating her on her wedding and introducing himself as an American botanist.) Charmed by William's thoughtful gift, Charlotte decided to summon William to England. She wanted him to come to England to study botany for a year and then return to America to collect plants on behalf of the royal family. And so that's exactly what William Young ended up doing. When he left America, he had no formal training in botany. He was, however, full of potential and eager to learn. This opportunity in England was an extraordinary chance for William to learn the science of botany from the worldwide center for botanical research: England. At the same time, this series of events caused a bit of jealousy and a shock in the American botanical community. John Bartram himself was an old man by the time this happened for William, and he made comments along the lines of, "Hey, I've been in America, collecting and cultivating for decades, and I've never received an offer like this." And so many of the American botanists really couldn't believe William's good fortune. His trip was essentially like winning a botanist lottery with the promise not only of training but steady work and support from a generous, well-funded patron. Despite Charlotte's hopes for William, his peers were dubious of William's ability to measure up to the task. While William was passionate about botany, he hadn't demonstrated any particular acumen or success that should have garnered the kind of opportunity that had come his way. The bottom line was, they didn't think William had it in him. Yet, William's critics were not entirely fair. After all, William had been bold enough to send that package of seeds to the new Queen. And he was smart enough to leverage his German heritage when he wrote to her. Charlotte had German heritage as well, and when she first came to England, she surrounded herself with other Germans who spoke her language and shared her history, customs, and culture. Summoning William to England was just another example of Queen Charlotte making herself feel more at home away from home. When William arrived in England, he was in his early twenties. He had a huge learning curve to conquer when it came to his new station in life. He had no idea what it was like to be in front of royalty or how to behave in Royal circles. Of course, William didn't have a ton of life experience as a young person in his twenties. So, he performed exactly as one might imagine he would: dazzled by the luxury and lifestyle, he quickly began racking up bills. With each passing month, he found himself deeper in debt until he ended up arrested and in jail for the large debts that he owed. Incredibly, it was the Queen who bailed him out - but not before sending him home to Philadelphia with the hopes that he could still perform as a plant collector in America. And so it was on this day. November 3 in 1766, that William returned to America with his new title as botanist to the King and Queen. Instead of being humbled by his financial misdeeds, William returned proud and haughty. He strutted about under the auspices of his Royal appointment, but his behavior didn't endear him to his American peers. They heard the rumors about how William had acted when he was in England and they were turned off by his peacocking and attire. In a letter to the botanist Peter Collinson, John Bartram wrote, “I am surprised that Young is come back so soon. He cuts the greatest figure in town and struts along the streets whistling, with his sword and gold lace.” And then Bartram confided that William had visited his garden three times, feigning respect and bragging about his yearly pay from the Royal family, which amounted to 300 pounds sterling. Now William was no fool, and it's clear that he craved acceptance from his peers. At the same time, he was probably aware of how some of his peers truly felt about him. But he did not dwell on this conundrum and focused on his work. He still had collecting to do for the King and Queen, and he needed to mend fences on that front if he ever hoped to make it as a botanist. And so, he set off for the Carolinas, where he spent an entire year collecting plants. Then, he carefully and quite expertly packaged up all of the plants that he had found and traveled back to London - personally bringing all of these plants to the King and Queen and hoping to get back in their good graces. Although William arrived in England only to be refused to be seen by the King and Queen, he still managed to make his trip a resounding success. By shepherding rare, live plants in wonderful condition from the Carolinas to England, he impressed English collectors. And there was one plant in particular that really helped to repair and save William's reputation, and that was the Venus Fly Trap. William brought many live specimens of the Venus flytrap to England, and as one might imagine, the plant caused a sensation. Without the flytrap, there was probably little that William could say to restore his reputation. So in this sense, his plants, especially the Venus flytrap, did the mending and the PR work for him. What William did was essentially no different than an apologetic spouse who brings their partner flowers after a fight. That's exactly what William did on this trip when he returned and presented the Venus flytrap to England. One other fact about this trip is that William proved himself to be an expert plant packer. Clearly, one of the biggest challenges for early botanists was keeping specimens alive - that was really hard to do. Dead specimens didn't garner anywhere near the attention or pay of living plants. William's skill in this area underscores just how intelligent and thoughtful William could be. A 1771 letter to Humphrey Marshall detailed William's packing technic: William Young sends his plants very safely by wrapping them in moss and packing them pretty close [together] in a box. He ties the moss in a ball around the roots with a piece of packthread...It's very surprising how well they keep in this manner. William's method differs little from the way plants are packaged and sent by mail today. William ends up devoting his life to botany. He returned to American and collected plants in the Carolinas, returning to England when he had a full shipment. William mastered his collecting strategy over his lifetime - returning again and again to the Carolinas, scouring the wilderness for rare plants like the Venus flytrap that had brought him so much success. Along the way, William continued to struggle financially as he paid his debts. But by the end of his life, William was able to get his affairs in order, and he actually died a fairly wealthy man. Tragically, he died young at the age of 43. In December of 1784, William decided to set out once again for the Carolinas. Unbeknownst to him, he was going on what would become his final collecting trip. He never did reach the Carolinas. He only made it as far as Maryland, where he collected along a waterway known as Gunpowder Falls, where he fell into the river and died after being swept away by the current. His body was found about seven weeks later. November 3, 1794 Birth of William Cullen Bryant, American poet. William drew inspiration from the natural world. He once wrote a lovely verse about roses: Loveliest of lovely things are they, On earth, that soonest pass away. The rose that lives its little hour Is prized beyond the sculptured flower. William also wrote about the month of November in a little poem called A Winter Piece. ...When shriek'd The bleak November winds, and smote the woods, And the brown fields were herbless, and the shades, That met above the merry rivulet, Were spoil'd, I sought, I loved them still,—they seem'd Like old companions in adversity. November 3, 1841 Birth of Eugenius Warming, Danish botanist. Eugenius was one of the founders of modern plant ecology. He's credited with writing the first ecology textbook with his book, Oecology of Plants: An Introduction to the Study of Plant Communities (1895). Unearthed Words She went to the window. A fine sheen of sugary frost covered everything in sight, and white smoke rose from chimneys in the valley below the resort town. The window opened to a rush of sharp early November air that would have the town in a flurry of activity, anticipating the tourists the colder weather always brought to the high mountains of North Carolina. She stuck her head out and took a deep breath. If she could eat the cold air, she would. She thought cold snaps were like cookies, like gingersnaps. In her mind, they were made with white chocolate chunks and had a cool, brittle vanilla frosting. They melted like snow in her mouth, turning creamy and warm. ― Sarah Addison Allen, The Sugar Queen Grow That Garden Library Genealogy for Gardeners by Simon Maughan and Dr Ross Bayton This book came out in 2017, and the subtitle is Plant Families Explored & Explained. Anything that has genealogy and gardening in the title is a book that I'm interested in. Before I get into this particular review, I should mention that this book is part of one of my favorite garden series by the RHS. So in this series is the book Latin for gardeners as well as botany for gardeners. And now this book Genealogy for Gardeners is designed to help you explore and understand plant families - and plant family trees, which to me is even more exciting. Now you may be wondering why. Well, I think the authors do a great job of explaining that in the preface to their book. They write, While most of us think of plants, that's belonging to one big happy family. The fact is they don't. There are hundreds of different plant families, which botanists have cleverly grouped together using what they know of family histories and genealogy and now, of course, DNA to bring some sense and order to more than a quarter of a million different plant species. But why should this matter to you as a gardener, aside from just wanting to become more knowledgeable about plant families? Well, here's the explanation from the authors: Plant families are all around us. Whatever the time of year, go for a walk and look for wild or garden plants. You'll be surprised at how many plant families are represented within a small radius of your home. Even in your own garden, there will be a fantastic genealogy of plants. Thanks largely to the efforts of plant collectors and horticulturists who brought the plants into cultivation from the four corners of the world. When it comes to being a good gardener making connections is what it's all about. And if you are faced with a strongly acidic soil, and know that rhododendrons will grow, then you can broaden your planting ideas to include other plants in the same family, such as Heather. Mountain Laurel, leather leaf, blueberries, and others. If you are designing with plants, you may know that all plants and a particular family, and share certain features, which enables you to mix displays effectively and extend your range. Now that is a very compelling reason to get to know your plant families. One of the things that I love about this particular series of books is that the illustrations are incredible. The editors have pulled images of botanical art that truly are the best example of some of these plants. The beauty of these books, including the cover, just is not rivaled. In fact, the minute I spot these books, they just have a look and a feel to them - I know immediately that it's part of this series from the RHS. These books are in my office on a special little bookshelf of books that I reference all the time, and this little series from the RHS is such a gem. This particular book about plant family, garden, genealogy - Basically the genealogy of plants- is one that I go back to again and again, and again. So this is a fantastic book. As I mentioned, the illustrations are great. It is very clearly laid out. They've really done the heavy lifting when it comes to simplifying this material, making it very understandable and accessible. And yet, they do not dumb it down. That's not what this book is about. If you want a book on this topic that is exceptionally clear And is a delight to read, then this is the book that you've been waiting for. So, whether you're a landscape designer, a horticulture student, or just an amateur gardener, Genealogy for Gardeners will help you better understand and utilize plant families in your garden. This book is 224 pages of plant families and plant family trees - and it's part of one of the top garden book series on the market today. You can get a copy of Genealogy for Gardeners by Simon Maughan and Ross Bayton and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $20. Today's Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart November 3, 1903 On this day, The Cherokee Sentinel (Cherokee, Kansas) published this heartwarming blurb about the gardens in the Heartland of America. Here's what they wrote: It's November, and gardens and flowers are as green and beautiful as in summer. Verily, Kansas is an American Italy and the garden spot of the world. Well, I don't know how true that was, and I question whether that was written for the benefit of enticing immigrants to come to Kansas. Nevertheless, I found it very sweet, and I thought it was a great way to end the show today. Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
Do you include everything you need to in your contracts with your clients? As solopreneurs, we can often get wrapped up in everything else that our business entails and forget how important it is to have a solid contract in place. A contract not only protects you and your client but it can also make a powerful first impression. On this episode of Solopreneur Money, William Warren joins me to discuss the importance of creating contracts. You'll learn why it is important to have a contract in place as well as what you should include in your contracts. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... How William Warren became a solopreneur [2:32] The biggest challenges William suffered as a solopreneur [7:49] What William did to grow his business [10:38] The 3 purposes of a contract [14:50] 8 things you need to learn to write a contract [18:49] The money questions [34:00] William learned that starting a business wasn't as scary as he thought William Warren is the founder and CEO of The Sketch Effect, a creative services company that delivers animated and illustrated communication products to a wide range of clients. When William struck out on his own to build his business he had no experience or training in the business world. He had to figure out the businessy stuff all on his own. Once he got over the initial fear of starting his own business he realized that becoming an entrepreneur wasn't as hard as he thought it would be and doing what he loves for a living is fun. 3 reasons to use a contract Contracts are one of the areas of business that many creatives shy away from. They may think that they don't need one or that they are too hard to create, so before we discuss how to write a contract let's first understand why we need one. The first reason to create a contract is the most obvious. A contract defines the scope of the work and the price. The client learns what they are getting and how much it costs. The next reason to use a contract is to set protections or limits. By establishing your limits you will prevent scope creep so that clients won't continue to ask you to do 'just' one more thing. A contract also helps you to seal the deal with your client. A well-made contract will turn a potential client into a client. 8 important things to include in your contract Be abundantly clear about the scope of work. Describe what the client is getting, but also make it clear what they are not getting. Make sure to recap the deliverables in plain English. Explain your process. What steps will you take to deliver the product? Establish your process upfront to set expectations. Define when the client will receive the service. This not only gives limitations but it establishes clear boundaries around the time spent on your service. Define the clients' rights, usage, and exclusivity. State how the client can use the product or service and when they can and can't use it. Be clear on how much the client will pay and be sure to charge according to your value. Explain how they will pay you. Establish when they will pay you Create a space to sign and date the contract. It is also important to make your contract look polished so that the client understands that they are working with a professional. A clear, well-made contract will entice future clients to sign and bring in more business. William Warren shares so much value in this interview. You won't want to miss all that he has to say.

In 1998, Willliam Hunter discovered a classic video games emulator, MAME. He had a great time playing games like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Defender. After a while, curiosity kicked in, and he asked himself where all these games came from, how they came about, and who made them. Although the internet was a different place back then, William couldn't find a website that told the story he wanted to read, so he decided to make one himself. William Hunter is the creator of The Dot Eaters, one of the most trusted sources of information about the history of video games. His website has been referenced in many books about video games, and many Colleges and Universities check on it for relevant content. William developed the website for over 15 years to tell the stories of the games, systems, and individuals that set the cornerstones of the gaming industry as we know it today. In this episode, we talk about the origins of The Dot Eater, the particular backstory of the website's name, and William's relationship with video games. William kindly shared details of how he runs the website as a one-man-show and lots of curious facts about video games and the origin of companies like Activision and Electronic Arts. We also talk about the evolution of video games companies like Attari and what happens when companies created by people passionate about technology and games fall into business people's hands.

William Ayot has worked in personal development and organizational settings, using poetry and the arts to teach worldwide. He speaks about his emotional state at the age of 30, being clinically depressed, not finding any joy in relationships, and he then “fell into a hole.” William was able to climb out of his hole by doing ritual work and discovering the world of personal development. Working with groups of Shamans who used rituals in a very particular way. “I was fascinated, and this began to help me in my personal process.” After completing a ritual for the atonement of the feminine, William met a woman whom he fell in love with and is still in a relationship with to this day, over two decades later. He then realized that ritual work was also applicable to people in relationships. From here, he found himself working for individuals and groups, teaching them the process and value of ritual. When working with couples, William will design and create a ritual for the couple to practice. This helps to know people’s spirituality, what they need when interfacing with each other, and the sacred world. He strives to meet people where they are most present and connected in their lives and the world. At this point, he creates rituals that initiate change. Listen in to find out why rituals are a way of creating an image to send a message to the soul, how rituals are a critical part of our intention-setting and co-creating and why rituals can tie up loose ends with our sense of lack in the current environment.

Over three decades, he has worked in personal development and organizational settings, using poetry and the arts to teach around the world. William creates rituals for individuals and groups in his purpose-built ritual garden in Monmouthshire, Wales. He has published four collections of poetry, a prose book on ritual, and is currently writing a book for and about men in a time of epochal change. In this episode, William and Dr. Jessica Higgins discuss: How to co-create rewarding, lasting relationships How rituals can be transformative for both individuals and couples Knowing a person’s spirituality before creating or prescribing a ritual for them is important How rituals are a way of creating an image to send a message to the soul “The soul doesn’t deal in data or numbers. It deals in pictures and images.” William Ayot Why we are cutting off from a deep and profound part of ourselves by disregarding ritual in our life Why we are giving our partner a gift when we use ritual in our lives What William encourages us to do to feel more connected in the world How to conduct rituals safely with the intended best effect The five basic stages of a ritual and the importance of closing the ritual down before leaving Why ritual is as important for men as it is for women “Rituals are a unique way for a human being to give a message to their psyche or their soul.” William Ayot Mentioned: Shifting Criticism into Connected Communication – Free Guide Re Enchanting the Forest: Meaningful Ritual in a Secular World Connect with William Ayot Visit William on the web Connect with Dr. Jessica Higgins: Facebook: facebook.com/EmpoweredRelationship Instagram: instagram.com/drjessicahiggins Podcast: drjessicahiggins.com/podcasts Pinterest: pinterest.com/EmpowerRelation LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drjessicahiggins Twitter: @DrJessHiggins Website: drjessicahiggins.com Email: jessica@drjessicahiggins.com Get access to my new group coaching starting in January.

Do you ever find yourself fascinated and terrified by a case of dental embezzlement? I’ll admit it - I find those type of stories so gripping! I wonder what the dentist could have done to prevent the fraud or I wonder how they didn’t see it coming. If you’ve ever wondered if your dental practice is really protected from dental embezzlement or other types of fraud - this is the episode for you! On this episode - you’ll hear from my guest, William Hiltz. William is an expert in embezzlement detection, investigation, and remediation. He is also a published author and speaker on the subject of embezzlement in healthcare. William currently serves as the CEO and Founder of Hiltz and Associates. Set the tone from the top! Whatever policy and controls you put in place at your dental office - they mean nothing if you don’t follow those standards yourself! Remember that old saying - money see, monkey do? It turns out that humans aren’t that different. You can’t have one policy for preventing dental embezzlement that applies to your staff and a separate one that applies to you. If you want your office to survive dental compliance checks and avoid other types of fraud - you’ve got to have your bases covered. To learn more about setting the tone from the top - make sure to listen to this episode featuring William Hiltz! How to respond when you suspect theft from your staff It’s that day that every dentist fears - you’ve discovered that someone in your office has been committing dental embezzlement. What do you do? Do you immediately call the police and focus on apprehending the wrongdoer? Will you press charges? Don’t leave it all up to chance or a spur of the moment decision! You need to have clear and executable policies that everyone in your office knows about. In our conversation, William Hiltz suggested this helpful course of action. Confirm the theft. Sanction the individual. Fire the individual responsible. Document what happened. Beyond covering your practice - following William’s course of action can also help future employers avoid the same scenario with that individual. Listen to William expand on this topic and much more by tuning into this episode! Set and forget controls you can put in place While it’s great to have a process to deal with dental embezzlement once it occurs - an even better question is how do you prevent it from being a temptation for your staff in the first place? The easier you make it for people to steal, the more likely they are to steal! Why not put some measures in place to make it difficult to commit dental embezzlement? According to William Hiltz, there are several "Set it and forget it" steps you can take to protect your dental practice. Secure your point of sale system so your staff can’t do unauthorized refunds. Get rid of check payments as much as possible - go digital or direct deposit. Emphasize the severe nature of any financial misconduct. You can’t expect policy alone to protect your practice from dental embezzlement - you’ve got to make your people feel the enormity of the situation. After all - people on the road speed every day - but they don’t speed when a police officer is behind them! You are the police officer of your office - if people feel like they can get away with theft, it’s because you haven’t monitored them close enough. Don’t hide your head in the sand! I know - you see all this information, and you hear William’s dire warnings, but the truth is - running a business is difficult. As much as you’d like to cover all the bases - sometimes ignorance is bliss - right? No! While you don’t have to have it all figured out tomorrow - this isn’t an issue you can sweep under the rug. If you want to protect your reputation and give your patients the best service possible - you’ve got to take steps to prevent dental embezzlement and forms of fraud.

William Deresiewicz, award winning essayist, critic, and the writer of Excellent Sheep, joins Jim and Jan and shares his perspective on the need for solitude in the interconnected age, social and emotional learning, and which interpersonal skills are crucial to moving forward in the future. Key Takeaways [4:33] In order to be a real leader, you have to be able to think and create space around the ideas. [8:18] What William calls the “waitress principle” emphasizes the tendency for managers to lead without listening, and push the ideas away from those who really are in the front lines of what is happening. [10:54] There seems to be a push to imply that everyone has to be some type of leader, and if you aren’t interested in leadership you must be a follower. Good thinkers and intellectuals don’t have to automatically be pushed with the label as a thought leader. [13:33] The educational system now generally produces the type of person who is afraid of taking risks, doesn’t know how to make decisions on their own and relies on doing what someone else tells them to. While ambitious and talented, students need to learn more how to take control of their own thoughts and lives. [20:22] William discusses how the meritocracy from the 1960’s has now led to the present day created creditantled arts race that puts the interest of the country ahead of individualism. [29:57] We have come to believe that education is all about the job market. While that is clearly important, social and emotional learning is also crucial to developing sound future leaders. [37:50] It’s not fair to say kids these days don’t work hard or have an interest in leadership. They they have been thrown into an economy with no stability and security, and under the lead of employers that may not show commitment or leadership principles they can follow. LinkedIn: @William Deresiewicz Facebook: @WilliamDeresiewicz Website: billderesiewicz.com Twitter: @WDeresiewicz Quotable Quotes Solitude is the essence of leadership. “My only experience in leadership has been resisting other people’s efforts to exert it on me.” In order to really think, you have to be able to be alone. We don’t all have to be leaders. Successful adults do not lead linear lives. I’ve learned to agree with being disagreed with. Ask yourself why the term and concept of leadership is important to you in the first place.
