Mental Health Mantra 19/365 I wake up and ask myself this question today. I feel there's something I need to do and so I have to go to my toolkit and see what it is that resonates. In my book that I'm currently writing, ReBalance Me, I have 7 ways to wellness, they are Boost, Nourish, Cocoon, Support, Create, Care and Move. To answer this mantra today, I go look in each of these ways and ask myself what I need, what's the message coming through. What's resonating? Sitting quietly I close my eyes, letting my breath flow in and out of my nose. In those few minutes, I realised I needed the following prescription for the day, to rebalance me. ReBalance-Me Prescription for Jules : )
This prescription helped me to shift things today. Do you have a toolkit of stuff that you turn to? Hands up, don't we forget? Especially when we are dealing with stress, high anxiety, apprehension, add in the blanks you're dealing with currently, ______________, __________________, ________________. I remembered I need reminders and repetition, which is why I'm creating these Mental Health Mantras, to send calm and soothing messages to my subconscious mind. Sincerely hope this helps you too. Keep centred starseeds on your own intuitive intelligence. "Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul."

Mental Health Mantra 18/365 Be the Observer. My lovely friend Barefoot Doctor, Stephen Russell who suddenly passed away last January would always talk to me and write about it in his countless books and at workshops - that is - moving our awareness to the very back of the head, ie. physically imagine you're taking awareness of what you're seeing to the back side of your head space, Behind your skull. Once there, watch, observe, at what is going on around you. It's a practice like anything else. A skill. Try it. It's fun. It gives you a perspective where you can detach from the actual movie theatre playing right around you. It relates to our third eye, based right on your forehead, between the eyebrows, slightly above, and symbolically relating to the chakra point which is coloured indigo. Your third eye is the central point for your intuition, imagination and inner wisdom. It can't be seen per se, it's an energetic eye. However if you close your eyes and look at the sun and meditate there upon, you may see an eye appear behind your eyelids. Be The observer. Deflect. Reflect. Stand Back. There is alot going on, physically, emotionally, spiritually, energetically, world wide. Step back from judgment, flip it to compassion. We are all having very different experiences based on our frame of references in our life. Be the observer. Take your time to make decisions. Do your own independent research. Ask questions. Go with your gut. You'll know. Sending heaps of love. Keep shining starseeds. Thank you for being here and watching this unfold. It is great to be writing here again. "Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul."
Mental Health Mantra 17/365 It has been a fatiguey day today, tiredness pervades me. This feels familiar, making me feel a tad jittery because I was so incapacitated when in my 20s with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. I made my way through that tunnel by the time I was 30 but it was a decade's long haul. I find that all that I learnt then, about healing, wellness and holistic health has been the foundation pillar of my journey these past 32 years and I built upon these pillars to support me through my life. Today as I was finishing off this 17th Mental Health Mantra, the phrase kept coming through "Your light makes a difference." Lorie Ladd on You Tube who I adore, reminds me of this often, especially in these times. It made me recognise that even feeling fatiguey today I can choose to be light and sit in that space for a while. For me, it was about turning my attention to light, being outside in nature, in the garden, watching the seagulls circle me, we have a crowd of them that hang out in south Liverpool / considering we're really only 4 miles from the River Mersey, they're never that far away. I realised that my light can make a difference. Even when I feel fatiguey and tired. I made a lovely lentil shephard's pie early in the day, so that I knew it was ready and I could settle into the day. I played crazy tennis ball games with the girls who just loved it, lots of waggy tails. In my meditation practice I can beam my light out on to Planet E and beyond, I can channel Reiki healing blessings to all. It only stops when I stop. I will continue to keep that focus and keep that relaxation meditation practice so that I can send light beams out. We all need that right now. To step back into our bodies and connect to our soul, to raise the light and vibration and send that out to all - that does mean me too. I need this too. What I know for sure .... is that you don't need to be some meditating guru and sit cross legged, what you need is the commitment to sit. In a chair. On a bed. Inside, outside,. Just a commitment to sit and connect to your breathing. Start there. It really is all that it is. You will find your light, and yes, it makes a difference. I was introduced to this quote back by Peter Russell who I met in New Mexico in 2004 on my adventure. "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." I loved that when I heard it, made complete sense to me. My commitment to sit is here. Sending out oodles of light to you whomever your are, reading this. Trust your intuitive intelligence. "Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul."
Mental Health Mantra 16/365 As I am creating these Mental Health Mantras I wait for the mantra to appear to me. I do have lists upon lists of many of them over the years, and lots of new ones that appear. But I wait for the right one to appear. With this particular Muse, her hair went a little off the beaten track and I had to cut her hair off and start again with a backing sheet (the joys of art production). In doing so, what then appeared was this cracking head scarf, which I totally loved. It just made her feel different and quirky. I am a head scarf wearer but don't wear that many any more (who knows but I'm going to ponder on that one). It's something I will definitely be picking back up because as I was drawing it, I realised that there is something about wrapping colourful scarves around my head and hair that instantly makes me feel creative. I step into a mode of being, that I really love. Do they suit me - I don't know? But I love them. As my lovely Uncle Freddy used to say in his thick German accent "Who Cares ... !! " Bam, that's when the mantra popped up from the Muse. Do YouYes it could have been Be You, but actually Do You felt like a real powerful mantra as I look in the mirror wearing my scarf wrapped around my head. Do You. It's okay to Do You. Don't Do Anyone Else. Just those two words say more. I'll leave it there. Take this and go with it. You will know what Do You means for you. Sending heaps of huggles, keep that intuition shining. "Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul."
Mental Health Mantra 15/365 I'm not one for Tellavision, I rarely watch these days, definitely not live TV, but I have recently come across the new campaign urging everyone to stay home featuring none other than Chris Whitty. Oh gracious me, give me strength. It made me think of this phrase that I saw in a film once, it resonated with me and I wrote it down in my notes. Advertise to yourself. Impress your own heart. I wonder if Chris Whitty was advertising to himself, impressing his own heart during that tv campaign? Not sure he was. If he stopped for a moment and thought about the intention, he may have thought differently. Thank goodness I don't watch tellavision. Not to focus on this tv advert but to focus more on the advertising to self, got me thinking. How would I impress my own heart, what could I do? I am running on very low energy at the moment, frequencies are high externally, there is alot going on energetically around the world. Things are breaking down and unfolding relating to the situation we are in globally. There is going to be alot of revealing literature. I'm feeling it all. Add into this collecting my husband from hospital yesterday, seeing him walking out dealing with the after effects of radio iodine ablation, it makes me catch my breath. I think about the words I use, the phrasing, what I'm telling myself. So let's get back to impressing our own hearts and advertising to ourselves. When you think of the amount of effort time money and hard graft goes into advertisements, it gives a sense of what we could be doing to impress our own hearts/boost our own morale. Lots to ponder this weekend about this affirmation. It resonates with me, maybe it does with you too? Keep shining starseeds, and connecting to your intuition. "Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul."
Mental Health Mantra 14/365 I have been noticing the feelings I'm feeling and also noticing the triggers. This is a good mantra reminder for me today. What is triggering? Is it something I am reading, hearing, on main stream media, social media, outside of me, inside of me? I find that when I notice the feelings I'm feeling it is often because of an action or a behaviour that I am presenting in me, or an action or behaviour I am seeing. There is lots to unpick with this but noticing the feelings, whether that be anger, rage, apathy, disgust, sadness - they are all valid emotions and valid feelings, the key is to explore why and notice the trigger. I am waiting to hear from my husband about picking him up from the hospital, he has been in 4 days, and has had the radio iodine scan this morning so we will have a bigger picture outlook when they can share with him the uptake. Fingers crossed all will be well. Keep noticing, keep reflecting, stay open to what your intuition is telling you. "Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul."
Mental Health Mantra 13/365 I need this today. Sleep, press pause. That's my mantra. Right here. What about you? Shine on sunbeams : > ) "Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul"
Mental Health Mantra 12/365 Going through a stressful time, I sometimes forget to reach for the tools. For instance, when I'm in a high anxious time, it goes out of my head that actually, washing my hair and taking a shower can shift the energy for me. Or, tidying my workspace, or hoovering up, putting on some music and dancing, whilst kicking the ball with the dogs #winwin. There are other tools in here too, things like taking 10 mins twice a day to sit in contemplation, boost my immunity with Vogel's Echinacea Throat Spray and high dose of Vitamin D3, or even Rescue Remedy emergency essence. I have to create a reminder of what's in my healing toolkit. There are lots of ways to rebalance me in that space. I have to know where to turn and remember to turn there. This is a reminder, for me and maybe for you too? ; > ) I have committed to finishing and publishing my book Rebalance Me this year. This will outline my tools so that you can create your own healing toolkit and your daily prescription. Reach for the tools ps. you already have them.Keep shining sunbeams. Trust your intuitive intelligence.
Mental Health Mantra 11/365 I took my husband in to hospital this morning for his radio iodine ablation treatment, he'll be there for 4 days as he has to be in strict isolation. Dropping off this man who has been through so much this past year makes me upset, he has seen such a lot in his life, especially in serving in the British Army, my heart goes out to him as he becomes the ready brek man for a few weeks. We have to laugh, it's the only thing that is keeping us going. On being back home surrounded, by my the two Jacks, they keep me centred and sane. If there is one thing that this whole process is teaching me is to trust my own intuitive messages that I hear, feel, sense. I began listening to intuitive intelligence over 32 years ago when I was diagnosed with M.E Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and it is in listening to these messages that I healed into good health after 10 years of navigating that disabling path. On this day in January 2021, I sat quietly on the couch, listening. Breathing, hands over heart and chest. Listening. I knew I needed to deeply relax my body mind and spirit. This called for a big body relax. Switching off from all mediums. Deep breaths, deep exhales. oh... and a huge pot of rooted vegetable soup. Always a winner for me to ground and relax. Do you sometimes get a real gut feeling that gives you a sense of 'this doesn't feel right!' If so, go quiet, remove yourself and get some space between you. Breathe, hands on heart. Trust your own message. It's usually pretty spot on. If you then need to do more research to support your gut feeling. Do it. Rely on your self. Keep shining starbeams. Trust that intuitive intelligence. 'Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul'
Mental Health Mantra 10/365 If there's one thing that I have had to practice, daily, is trying not to worry about future. There are many things externally outside of my control. We are all here in our human journey to learn from whatever is in front of us. I have had a plethora thrown at me in particular these last 16 months, and somehow I have to bring myself back to not being panicked and worried because in fact that only serves the narrative and not my own sense of self. It's a daily challenge and I really am not getting it right all the time. Yet as I always say, I wake up, and today I said to myself ' Start from where you are today, Jules." Choosing my Mantra for Every Day is helping to focus for that day, in my quiet time and going inwards.I am seeing them as Mental Health Mantras :) I have been studying embodiment with Damien Wynne and he confirms what I have known within me for my entire life "I have an affect on the field," the field of conscious beings and consciousness, therefore my role now in this Age of Aquarius is to work on my own shadow side and heal my own wounds, this is my way of affecting the greater field, having an affect on the greater web of conscious beings >>>> out there. This may resonate with you, some, nothing, or all of it. Wherever you are right now, today. Start from there. Hope you're enjoying these Mantras for Every Day, I am pleased that I have done 10 days :) 355 to go ! Keep shining your light starseeds and know you are intuitive. Sending love x 'Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul'
Mental Health Mantra 9/365
In creating a mantra for my every day, I hope that I somehow inspire you to also create your mantra for the day. In the stillness, early hours, it appears to me, perhaps while I'm journalling or, listening to some music, quiet time meditation.
For me, 'go where you feel most alive' popped up today and it is a reminder of what makes me feel alive, existing, valuable, here on this earth, in this human body. The background photograph used here is of a trip to Cornwall in May 2019, we went walking to Lizard Point and in my imaginings I remember this place, before all the turmoil that ensued just months after. It reminds me of the cliffs, the sea, the beach, a place being in nature that makes me feel like a real part of this planet and here for a reason. I have other places where I feel most alive. Woods, Forests, Mountains, by a log fire, in a log cabin, listening to snow, if I explore this phrase I can get a sense of this all being outdoors. And yet, to go where I feel most alive also means - here. - now. In my headspace of creativity and wonder. That place is inside of me too. I can go there whenever. My deep starseed consciousness will take me there. You too. Go where you feel most alive is with in and with out. Keep shining starseeds and connect to your intutive intelligence Sending love

Mental Health Mantra 8/365 There are always going to be a number of scenarios, shall I go this way, shall I go that way? Will this happen, will this not happen? Do I need to do this, do I need to do that? These past 15 months since Mum died and all that has come after that, I have had to make a real huge effort to let go of the what ifs. Because, well, there are many directions and many things to confuse myself with.... the what if game gets very tiring and worry some, and what or who does it serve? I liken it to the film Sliding Doors, basically we always have choices of this way or that way. I have made choices that with hindsight I wish I had made a different choice. The present moment is all we have... and in the present moment we decide. Some of that is in our control and then there is stuff that's external out of our control. I am not going to give any energy to my what ifs here ... because what would be the point in that. What we focus upon grows. So I'll keep them tucked away. I will continue to let go of my what ifs and feel into this present moment of right now.. i.e here typing this right now. If a what if appears ... I have my mantra to turn to and I will be making sure this Muse is somewhere to be seen. I let go of my what ifs.Give it a whirl, why don't you? Keep shining your bright light and remember your intuitive intelligence. "Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul."
Mental Health Mantra 7/365 If there's one thing that has been at the forefront of getting through these past 15 months, raising my frequency has been up there with finding stillness in my every day. When I choose to focus on raising frequency and vibration, I feel way more aligned and flowing. In tune. In 2004, I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to the 6th International Conference on Science and Consciousness in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I went alone - it was the most amazing trip I have ever experienced. It was here I began to fully engage with quantum physics, which I had been introduced to 22 years earlier when I was in the grips of suffering with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It was here I began to learn more about vibration, frequency and the human connection. I could go down a rabbit hole here and I will be doing more of this as I'm finishing writing my book Rebalance Me, this plays a large part. For now, I will say the higher our frequency the increase in our physical and mental immunity, pitch this against very low / dense frequencies like fear and worrying, our physical and mental immunity depletes dramatically. I recognised that the key is stepping into the higher frequency and higher emotions of love, compassion, trust, faith and put all effort here. These frequencies help us as individuals within our communities and has a huge impact on the planet. I am really feeling a great changing occur right now since winter solstice. This may be as we traverse the move into The Age of Aquarius - there is a dismantling of old fear based programming which is evident every day we turn on the TV. If we step away from it and focus on increasing our frequency, we allow the flow of higher light energies to flood our earthly bodies. Low frequencies are: fear, nervousness, rage, hate and even fatigue. High frequencies: love, smiles, blessing, gratitude, playing, painting, singing, dancing, meditating, tai chi, yoga, walking, exercises, sunshine, enjoying nature, loving food, planting seeds, eating seeds, grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. Drinking distilled water. Did you know the vibration of prayer goes from 120-350hz? I have to take action every day to focus on increasing my frequency. I don't watch or listen to News, Fear Based Visuals, Games, Books, etc.... Horror, Apocalyptic Films. Of course I know what's happening around me but I choose to raise my frequency higher and step away. That also means I will uninstall apps that perpetuate a fear based narrative. It is somewhere to start, and something that I can take action with every day, hope this helps you too. Keep shining your light and trust your intuitive intelligence.

Mental Health Mantra 6/365 Today has been a day when I could easily have stayed under neath the duvet. What with Parliament voting on lockdown here in England with only 16 against make my heart hurt for so many people who are struggling, me included. I generally have pretty good flexible mental health, and yet, this is a real challenge. And yet, I stay hope full. I know there is something very deep going on here, that will come out in the fullness of time. There is a methodology happening behind the scenes. I keep saying this to myself. Stay Hope Full. Stay Hope Full. Stay Hope Full. I hope that you're doing okay out there. Keep shining and trusting your intuitive intelligence. 'Art with heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul'
Mental Health Mantra 5/365 Today I was in flow. Stars aligned and it all felt right. I had a very deep Reiki meditation session yesterday which I think I told you about.
A collaboration that had been in the planning and research phase for months with my friend Melody Salad, just all fell into place. We realised what we needed to do there and then. I could hear myself say. When in flow, just flow. Don't question. Step back from the analysis Just flow Jules, just flow. The situation presenting itself here in England is dire, we need collaboration and connection. This year is the year to finish book number 4. Rebalance Me and I'll share more about that along the way. Till tomorrow. Keep shining sunshine, and feeling your way back to intuition. You'll know what's right for you. Mental Health Mantra 4/365 The day started off on a high as I heard the news that the extradition of Julian Assange had been refused. Such good news! This would have been an attack on press freedom and we really do need this to be upheld, as we witness more and more censorship over the last 9 months. The mainstream media have turned into a PR departmental arm of the government and more and more so, not investigative stations. This is why I turned the news off 32 years ago. Anyway, I have been following closely on Twitter all that has been going on and it appalls and shocks me. The wool is very much being pulled over our eyes. I intuitively knew that I had to go inwards. As the day progressed, I shifted, I had a lovely walk with a friend around Sefton Park perimeter, there were so many people out walking, talking, running, cycling. I then had a wonderful Reiki Relaxation Meditation session with the holistic practitioner from Chai Cancer Care. She has been so supportive of me for the past few months, her meditations and full body relaxation, as well as channelling Reiki are helping a great deal. I am truly grateful for Chai Cancer Care as they have been a life saver for me and my husband during this time when all cancer wellbeing services are still closed. The mantra for this Muse and blog post today is Holding The Light, currently so important for me and maybe for you? The light will always outshine the darkness and dense energies. Therefore it's something I say to myself regularly. I am holding the light I am holding the light. You may find this helpful too. Know that I'm sending you oodles of hugs Keep shining and holding your light and trust your intuitive intelligence. Muse Mantras >Art with Heart< "Calm your Mind Soothe your Soul."
Mental Health Mantra 3/365 I went to visit my 91 year old Dad today through his bedroom window in the residential home where he is living - I haven't hugged him since March. It was quite an upsetting visit as he was sobbing and crying this morning, part of this is his illness of vascular dementia, but he was also upset to see me outside in the cold all wrapped up and he just couldn't understand why I wasn't allowed inside to sit with him. Pretty much the whole 30 minutes he was crying and sobbing. 'Keep going' I told myself, 'don't collapse and cry with him', I was beginning to feel my voice tremble. I had brought a bag full of goodies I know he likes, fruity shower gel, under arm spray, a big carton of Osem Croutons and pictures of us that his key worker will help to stick into his on going scrapbook I made for him. I gathered all my energy for 10am on a Sunday morning and tried to talk him through those tears. The last time I visited him it was only last week, Christmas Day, the visit went well. I think it's all about the set up. Who's with him, which carer, how his day has started. I had made sure they knew I was coming but I didn't call this morning before I left, maybe I should have done. He wasn't in his room, he was in the lounge. Window visits are tough. No touch, or energy connection. Driving home I could let it go, I felt shaken and upset, I was thinking about what I needed to affirm and this popped into my forebrain. I am brave, yes you are! I know you need to know it too. Whatever is facing you in this now moment, take 3 minutes and declare .... I am BRAVE Yes you are! Sending oodles of warmth Keep shining your light and trust your intuitive intelligence. "Art with Heart - calm your mind soothe your soul."

Mental Health Mantra 2/365
Sometimes I can get caught up in moment of apprehension, I go down that rabbit hole and eat myself down further, until I remember, that I have to somehow shift the focus and move to do something else.
Shift the focus is often connected to doing something for someone else but it can easily also be;- 1. take a shower 2. walk my dogs 3. stick on some White Light by George Michael and dance. 4. call one of my friends to connect. 5. play The Glad Game and write down all my gratitudes in that moment. 6. sit in stillness and breathe (I know that sounds like a tad twee but it really works for me). That's just a wee example but I find if I have a list of things that can shift my focus, it is my go-to and it helps. Often it's just an intuitive nudge that I need to get me out of the rabbit hole moment. I am really grateful that I was attuned to Reiki 18 years ago, it is in fact a tool that never leaves me, and I can sit doing a self healing if all things are not going well. If there was one thing I wished everyone had was level one Reiki attunement as you are taught how to lay hands on yourself and do a self healing #priceless (check out my Self soothing Affirmantra Meditation Video with 9 hand positions that you can do for yourself, I'll write more about that in another post.) Today the Muse Mantra for me and for you is 'Shift Your Focus.'
My nudge to you, is to take a moment and shift your focus. Whatever that means to you.
Your intuitive self will know what that means. Sending oodles of real time hugs to you Keep shining your light and trust your intuitive intelligence.
"calm your mind, soothe your soul"
Mental Health Mantra 1/365
It's the 1st of January 2021, I decided to step back into the Land of Blog.
For a few reasons. With everything going on in 2019/2020 in my own life and also in the country/the world, I have stepped away from social media big time. I had to focus what energy I had into caring and looking after my husband who was undergoing cancer treatment, the first major op being spinal stabilisation surgery then high dose intensive radiation (I may go deeper into this, but not just yet) I just could not cope with socials as well. I tried for a couple of weeks but I realised it was hugely draining. I was also seeing seeing something happen that was making me feel really uncomfortable - censorship. Maybe it's the Jewish woman in me that fights for human rights and deplores shutting down of voices, I was stunned - I couldn't believe the way people were not permitted to have open discussions, or differing opinions. I was astounded that medical interventions to boost immunity were censored - I mean posts about Vitamin C, Zinc, and Quercetin were zapped out. Having a honours degree in health and a debilitating viral illness for 9 years in my 20s I am a health investigator, researcher, and healer. It made me feel very uncomfortable so I stepped away. I still have my accounts I pop in here and there, I hadn't been very present these past 15 months. I stopped blogging and vlogging a few years ago because it all seemed to be about being on the socials. I was seeing less reach and it all became so complicated about widgets and coding .... bla bla bla and then I began to watch as accounts were deleted and taken down for holding a conversation about covid, I realised that I had invested 10 years in social media and bam, like that, all my stuff could be gone. Even if I delete my account, poof, it's gone. I hadn't put any time or energy into my own website for a long while, which is held on my own server. I used to write lots on there under various other blogging sites. In journalling every day, in my daily discussions with myself this morning, I made a pact. I would put effort into my own website and blog. Maybe even stepping up to vlog again or maybe even podcast. I still have so much going on in my life in a caring capacity and also so much more (maybe I'll share that sometime) that takes all the energy I have in reserves, I have to spend what's left in filling up my own tanks. My pact extended a little further, I wanted to raise my vibration by creating every day and I turn back to Muse Mantras - these have been a lifesaver over the last 8 years. In the past 15 months since losing Mum and the grief that followed and Dad with vascular dementia, who's now living in a residential home and I can only visit him through a window (that's for another post), and for the past 9 months looking after my husband with cancer, I have sought so many things to keep me somehow upright and functioning. Sometimes, I get it right, other times I collapse and cry in a heap at night because I feel I'm failing. But I am going to give it a whirl and see if I can merge the two... and get to the end of January by posting a Muse Mantra every day. I am revisiting illustrations that I have in my portfolio and will begin to upcycle them . Who doesn't love an upcycle, plus it gets me back into the flow. My intention is that these will help you to calm your mind and soothe your soul. Today I am OK - this affirmantra has been a huge focus for me over the past year as I have balanced all the plates in my life. It has been a life saver in the moment of grief, or sadness, or anxiety or despair, where I close my eyes, place my hands over my heart and say to myself and out loud. TODAY I AM OK. It soothes me. It keeps me in the now moment. I let go of fear. Here it is for you too. TODAY I AM OK. Sending oodles of love your way. Keep shining your light and trust your intuitive intelligence. There is a stillness within me as I sit down and begin to draw a portrait muse and this is no exception. As I spend time quietly absorbing the energy and tap in psychically, I begin to put pencil to paper. I am in a trance of sorts as it plays out. Colour, crystal and sound bath to follow where the universal energy is absorbed into the very fabric of the paper. I showed her to you, revealed on your birthday (unbeknownst to me) she proved to be a wonderful surprise and I captured you perfectly. It is always an honour to spend time drawing your portrait. There is medicine here. If you fancy finding out more about being drawn or buying this as a gift, there are ways for us to do that here. |
