I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before! I’m starting a new series here on the Integrating the Spirals blog site called, Asthma Stories. I’ll feature a new story in the series as I come upon interesting Asthma Stories with a happy (healed) ending! Here’s the first Asthma Story:
Robyn Openshaw’s Asthma Story in her own words
Robyn Openshaw (the Green Smoothie Girl) tells the Asthma Story (about her son) on Facebook as follows:
My intro of Robyn’s Asthma Story when I shared her Facebook post. Link to Robyn’s Substack: https://robynopenshaw.substack.com and to her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gsgrobynMeme: Doctor: “Please don’t confuse your Google search with my medical degree.” Me: “Please don’t confuse your god complex and financial incentives from big Pharma with my ability to independently research the side effects of your medications with the most powerful information tool in the history of mankind.” I am sharing the full meme because I couldn’t capture it all (in the previous image) when I grabbed it along with my intro, and I wanted to give the meme author credit. Meme author: Sandie Gascon, Integrative Healing Practitioner.Robyn Openshaw’s Asthma Story from her Facebook post.
I love the meme Robyn shared within her Asthma Story as well. And Robyn believes as I do, Nature always provides a way!
Yours in expanding, revolving, doing-my-egoless-best, limitless, spiraling consciousness,
To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

My daughter and I had a long conversation last night.
She talked with me about trauma and I intently listened. She told me about a great Gabor Mate and Mel Robbins YouTube video she’d watched.
I told her about the three year old Shawn Ryan podcast I’d just finally watched (with Lee Strobel as Shawn’s guest).
We talked about Elon. And I went on a short rant about how Elon Musk was the Left’s darling when he was a Democrat and did business in California (we still see Teslas in many of the TV shows and movies we watch–they used to LOVE him!), but they cast him aside and encouraged people to throw Molotov cocktails at Teslas and Tesla dealerships when Elon joined forces with Trump and set out to uncover government waste and abuse with DOGE).
We talked about Pharma. And I brought up the chat I’d had with a fellow blogger, which I wrap up later in this blog article. I explained Homeopathy and how Pharma pushed it aside and took over health, much like the whole pyramid scheme Insurance industry has convinced people that they must pay them for “peace of mind.” (And I have called BS on THAT for decades! My parents didn’t believe in paying for insurance either, after my mom worked as a fire/property casualty insurance agent for several years when I was young.)
We talked about when my dad, my children’s papaw, and how after he passed away I never really grieved for him (as I thought I would) because I’d had that vision of his soul departing (https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/04/19/a-surreal-vision-of-soul-departing/). That vision changed my whole world view about death, though granted, it had been changing a lot prior to, which I wrote about in Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection. (Find links for my books at the end of this blog article.)
After our conversation, a few thoughts on the past (past events) came up for me:
I was bulled from the time I was young, perhaps 4 or 5–before Kindergarten, by a neighbor girl whose mother said, “She plays hard/rough with her cousins.” We were both only children and the same age, so my mom almost didn’t believe I was getting beat on, bitten, hair pulled, etc. until I came in with marks on me! Then the two moms had to agree that the girl and I couldn’t play together anymore. But we lived just a few houses apart from each other, so it made things challenging for a few years as she’d try to get other kids to play on her side and that upset me. I have always taken up for the “underdog.” And yes, sometimes that’s come back to bite me, because the person I thought was an underdog was really a bully (in disguise or because they hadn’t fully healed their own wounds).
My mission now is to untangle as much as I can on the topic of “the need to Control” (which I maintain is the opposite of Freedom), so our three granddaughters don’t suffer bullying–two have already told me they’ve been bullied, which makes me mad and sad.
Many years (from the time I was in my late twenties to mid thirties), I attracted a bully/drug-addict husband who hit me and even once fired a gun at me! (I never pressed charges but did get a restraining order when he got into my secured office building after hours one day and started screaming all through the building to find me in my bosses office working over time. I was so humiliated and embarrassed. I made a plan to leave and got out as soon as I could. I had two children from my first husband so it made leaving that second one even more challenging. I still feel guilty for putting my children through the experience of living with that man for several years.
I believe much of this boils down to people feeling the need to Control–EVERYTHING. And when people feel out of Control internally, they try to Control everything externally, that is outside of themselves in their external environment. And that’s when the problem began.
From chats and comments
Certain words still challenge/trigger me. I’m a work in progress. I’m not perfect (nobody is). I’m human. I am an introvert by nature and is probably why Buddhism attracts me, but over the years, due to having to work full-time to support two children (mostly as a single parent, even when I was married), I had to learn how to talk with people, actively listen, engage, earn trust, elicit responses, even speak in public (though I learned to sing in front of an audience at an early age in school and in church).
I prefer nature to man-made anything. When I hear words like MISINFORMATION, I tend to go on a rant. Sorry. Not sorry. It’s who I am.
The following are last two comments I made on a fellow blogger’s article:
Searching on the phrase, “Nurse authors in Aromatherapy,” offers a great source of information. I hear you about not wanting to complete an Aromatherapy course/certification at this point in life. And not giving advice out of one’s depth.
I wrote my holistic health book from personal experience, one’s anecdotal evidence of how I continued to uncover and experiment to find solutions to several health issues. I doubted whether it would sell and experienced procrastination for years while writing it and still bump up against the psychological pitfalls or syndromes that it won’t sell, but as a writer and analyst, I wanted to document my journey to support the few others, or my family, who might be so inclined to take it upon themselves to relieve any suffering. Perhaps it was my way of Paying it Forward in service to humanity. I don’t know.
I am now embarking on writing a thesis kind of metaphysical book that challenges my mind each time I read research for it, much less choose what to include or remove from the manuscript. It’s quite an ambitious undertaking! I hope it sells, but even if it doesn’t, I will have stretched myself in untold ways—and it’s definitely more inspiring than knitting or working a puzzle to engage my aging brain! Ha!
I don’t want to go back to school either, as I am way too good at challenging myself these days without some professor beating me over the head.
The last comment on this subject I wrote to the same fellow blogger:
Now, if we could only get the doctors and other health professionals who guide governments to follow the leanings you have so aptly expressed. Look at the harm ‘they’ have caused!
But yes, I hear you. I state many times in my book that I am not a doctor and believe in interviewing any and all health professionals we hire to work on our bodies to ensure they “do no harm” as the Hippocratic Oath dictates. Oh, for a brain trust of doctors like Dr. McCullough who are actual practicing doctors, i.e. The Frontline Doctors, and those who signed The Great Barrington Declaration to lead political health directives instead of a talking head (Fauxi) who never treated one Covid patient, to guide us during any other pandemic! I agree. Books are time capsules. (That’s why I prefer writing blogs I can update, versus writing books.) Science progresses. We need real-time critical information and egoless thinking next time around.
While I hope my holistic health book helps at least one person, I wrote it primarily to expand people’s belief in their body’s ability to heal. So many have forgotten that (until they cut their finger).
Thank you again for this discourse. You can tell how passionate I am about healing. ❤️🩹
And your gentleness does help me balance when I rant. OM
At this point I felt our comment/chat conversation had gone “full circle.” I haven’t heard back and hope he’s okay. I so enjoy our chats.
In closing
Separately, and to close this particular blog post article, I will say that as for some Democrats (because I know not all of them are bullies, sore losers, or the like), I feel this post sums them up, regarding some of the more crazy insane antics they’ve pulled recently:

I thought I’d share a quick post to capture some comments I just made to a fellow blogger, on what led me to write the book, Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally, and why I love nature’s way of healing using herbs! (And yes, Richard got me pronouncing ‘herbs’ with the H sound at the beginning as I’d always learned/heard it pronounced ‘erbs.’ but that’s why stay ‘open to receive’ new knowledge all the time. Ha!
From chats and comments
When things like this come up during my social media chats/comments, I capture them, but I have sooo many, that I don’t often take the time to turn them into a blog post. Today’s an exception. I thought this was important to share since many of us are just now getting back outside and planting a garden or flowers.
If you’re scared of nature, it can feel intimidating, I know. But I’m teaching our twin 8 year old granddaughters to embrace, not fear, nature. Yes, things can happen, like bee stings, and they’ve happened to me too, but there are natural cures! Nature always provides a way!
The beginning of our chat, when I speak of Frankie Fella, a very curious cat who seems to love bees while outside in the garden.This discussion about Frankie and the bees led to my recall of a time I was once stung by a wasp!Since I can’t use the word, ‘cure’ in my book or marketing it, I sometimes use it in comments or conversation. It definitely packs more of a punch than ‘reversing’ asthma. I usually don’t go into this much of my history, but this comment is with a longtime blogger pal, so there’s that.When the subject of anaphylactic shock came up, I thought I would acknowledge that it’s quite serious, while other stings can be gently remedied in the moment we’re out in nature. Obviously, now that some of us have developed such intense allergies, due to our toxic environment, medical treatment is advised.
A few of my favorite healing herbs
At the time of my commenting/chatting (as in the preceding screen captures), I was reading this article and choosing some herb seeds to plant:
Dandelion. I don’t have to plant this herb. It grows wild in our backyard and since we use no pesticides or herbicides, etc. I can eat it and make tea with it often. See the article at The Sacred Science site: https://www.thesacredscience.com/backyard-medicineStinging Nettle. I love this tea. I won’t grow it though. It’s too tricky for me to harvest. See the article at The Sacred Science site: https://www.thesacredscience.com/backyard-medicineYarrow. I grew this herb when we lived in Florida. It grew very well for me. And I needed it at that time. I used to harvest it and make a salve out of it with coconut oil. I used it for bug bites and skin rashes. I love it and will attempt to grow it in a pot here in New Hampshire though now I have cleared the issue that had once caused me to have skin rashes. Yes, sometimes it takes YEARS to clear physical issues in the body. See the article at The Sacred Science site: https://www.thesacredscience.com/backyard-medicine

About us
My husband is an award-winning illustrator, plus he’s a seasoned guitarist, bass player, and songwriter (with over 400 original songs). You can view some of his artwork and listen to many of his songs at: https://www.youtube.com/user/richardmurrey
It’s June 23rd, 2024; We have a hot original pop song for you today. It’s ripe for November election time for sure! Richard wrote some hard-hitting lyrics on this one! A radio-ready pop song that is heavy on piano licks, grand vocals by Bubba Hudson, and swift production by Steven Cooper of Nashville, TN.
We the people
Here’s the one-hundred-seventy-fifth new music post for 2024, as I consistently parade one of our original songs out to the masses. “America is not for rent,” as this song proudly states. Have a listen and let us know what you think about this energetic and timely song. We’d love for one of the frontrunners to use this song in the USA’s upcoming November election cycle!
Of course, we’d love people of integrity to lead the country, but who has integrity anymore? It seems all the contenders are criminals in one way or another. I could go down the list of sins and check most of the boxes of anyone running for President of the USA (in any election cycle)! I feel that by the time anyone gets to the place where they have enough support to run for President, they owe so many favors, that they are all compromised! I also gave up on both the Democrat Party AND the Republican Party long ago! I am an Independent through and through, and will not allow a one or two-party system to influence me.
Propaganda
As we know, the vast majority of people have been programmed since the 1940s with radio, then later, with television (TV), and now, social media. I’ve vowed to break all of my programming and conditioning.
Each time you watch ANYTHING with commercials or ads, tell yourself you’re not going to blindly be influenced by it. Speak to your mind, speak aloud if you have to, to break the spell of the propaganda.
Meme: Free thinkers vs. trillion dollar propaganda machine. –UnknownMeme: “They don’t want us to remember who we truly are… buried deep within us by years of conditioning and programming. They don’t want us to wake up. And this is why we must.” –UnknownScreen capture: “They’ve conditioned you to believe their poison is medicine. They’ve conditioned you to believe their indoctrination is education. They’ve conditioned you to believe their propaganda is news. Worst of all, they’ve conditioned you to believe those who are aware are you enemy.” –Tom Arguello
Integrating the Soul
Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness.
Integrating Spirit means we are aware of something larger than ourselves that does not bend to dogma but created and continues to support ALL–such as the Unified Field (Omniscience God). I know there is something more because I have felt it. I have experienced it. I believe we’re in an earthly body to feel and sense things.
I am not a Buddhist because I am not an atheist–I believe in a Creator and intervening Spirit. I believe each of us has a soul and is here to align and grow with it. But I am not an evangelical Christian because I honor all religions, I don’t personalize or anthropomorphize God, nor do I believe in a literal hell (other than the hell that humans have created here on earth). I follow the Dao. The Power that creates, supports, and sustains ALL. I believe in the inherent goodness and cycles of Nature (and of most people, even people who do wrong things–as nobody is perfect).
Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. May we all soar in ’24!
Yours in expanding, soul-aligning, spiraling consciousness,
Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

Spiritually speaking
As a Minister and Spiritual Advisor, it is my pleasure to help you find a way to Connect with spirit. Our ever-living God Omniscience knows ALL. The invitation is open to you.
I speak and offer advice by invitation only. If you would love me to speak at your office, bookstore, crystal shop, acupuncture/chiropractor office, natural health foods store, art fair, music, or yoga festival–comment on this post or reach out to me via my social channels.
Sometimes it is the little things that matter. Many years ago, I’d went to visit the grave of a lady I’d never met. I was married to her son and had been having a difficult time with him. He’d taken me to her grave several times and it seemed like a place that offered solace. So, without him, I went to visit her burial plot. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a few minutes of BONUS info on the audio this time too!):
At the grave
While standing in prayer at Carrie’s graveside, a yellow butterfly lit upon my shoulder and seemed to sit for quite a long time. It may have been 5 minutes, but felt a lot longer. In that short span of time, I felt like I was gifted all the secrets of the Universe. It was a powerful time. The experience is something I have written and spoken about several times. I knew something intense and interesting was happening so I didn’t shoo the butterfly away.
I didn’t receive any direct words or thoughts, but an overall sense of knowing. A sense of kinship with nature. I grounding. And I was comforted.
I stood there awhile longer after the butterfly took off, but I felt I had been deeply changed.
I got the sense it wasn’t up to me to “change” that husband–though I damn sure tried for many years, feeling that because he no longer had his mom, I could make up for it and ‘mother him.’ UGH. At any rate, I had to learn that we all progress at differing rates of speed, and yes, sometimes we have to leave people behind (as sad and upsetting as that can be). If they are meant to learn and grow, they can do it with someone else, or on their own.
Should I stay or should I go became my mantra for many years until I finally faced reality and left (just like that butterfly left me).
Spiral thought: As I was getting ready to publish this a memory occurred. When we entered the judges chamber to sign our divorce papers, I looked up and on her wall hung the most amazing collection of butterflies I’d ever seen! (Dry dead preserved butterflies, but I took it as a sign at the time.)
Enter the dragonfly
Years after the experience with the yellow butterfly, one of my young cousins was killed while riding his motorcycle. I got the call about Bradley’s accident while I was at an airport waiting on the second leg of a flight (I traveled for work then and did a LOT of flying).
After Bradley’s death, his mother told me she’d begun seeing dragonflies around their home. Every time she saw one, and then by way of her sharing this with me, every time I saw one–we’d think of Bradley.
Dragonfly Christmas tree image from a card I sent to Tracy 5 years ago.
Whenever I moved to a different job or town, I’d always look to see if any butterflies or dragonflies were around when I’d go out for a walk. Many times they showed up. It made me feel like I was on the right path–and not alone.
I also begin collecting items with butterflies on them, t-shirts, wall hangings, and more. And when I’d see something with dragonflies, I would send it to Tracy, even if it seemed extravagant (like a dragonfly tea set from Disney). I always ascribed some ‘after life’ meaning to finding these items. I always felt they were coming into my reality for some reason.
Here’s a screen shot of a comment I wrote my friend, Shari, when she’d posted a picture on Facebook of the time a dragonfly, or living barrette, decided to sit atop her head.
I think several things in the following meme are foundational to this post. Everybody I started with can’t come with me to the next level, I have the right to change my mind without explanation (and yes, I still tend to explain a LOT), and struggling does not mean I’m failing. I think I got into a vicious cycle when I left that former husband because I thought I’d failed, or I’d blame him because the marriage failed. Either way, a double-edged sword and not a good way to live. I’m so glad I found meditation and the knowing that growth can happen in the stillness.
Everybody I started with can’t come with me to the next level. And more things I’m still learning meme. Credit: The Bloom Focus

What I am known for
Be the best version of who you want to be–because if you’re reading my words your soul is probably beckoning you to align with it and live up to your highest ideals. Not perfect because who is perfect? Most stagnate or ‘get stuck’ while on their way to being whatever they think perfection is. Making progress is enough. Carrying your Karma lightly is enough. Be kind to yourself while living responsibly. Who you ARE affects us ALL. We Are All Connected.
Energy/Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL. Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.
My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is more timely now than ever because I know people are suffering. (Let me know if you’re interested in working through the Integrating the Spirals course.)
As an empath I want to help ease suffering and raise our vibration to offer hope. I want to uplift others and expand our collective consciousness. I teach breath work and meditation so we appreciate the value of Detachment. We till our inner soil with our breath to calm the amygdala and institute peace. Meditation is an easy way to Connect us with spirit, higher selves, Omniscience God, and receive non-programmed personal guidance.

Omniscience is Infinite Spirit, limitless, unbounded, and eternal.The phenomena of ALL Nature, physical (seen and unseen), along with the spiritual, are the myriad expressions of Infinite Spirit.
Understanding of these expressions, and living in harmony therewith, bring about balance, joy, and vibrant living.
Omni-Everything
There is no particular “God” bigger or more true than another, as there is ONE SOURCE. All religions offer ways (practical and mystical) that are belief systems in an attempt to help humans rejoin Source, as streams and rivers rejoin the sea.
ALL existence (not merely the personal egoic identity) of the individual continue after the death transformation when the body releases the soul and resides again in fullness beyond the veil.
Each of us are fractals of Omniscience. There is no one more important or more powerful than another. Is one color of the colors in the rainbow more powerful or important than another? No. So, there is nothing wrong, only our limited perceptions delude us when we think that way.
Everything is Energy. Those who dismiss that are denying the omnipotent power of Omniscience.
Living it
Live a moral life to feel better and help others feel better also. There is no boogie man in the closet nor in the depths of your mind. You have Free Will to delude yourself, but ultimately nothing is wrong. Have no fear. Everything resolves in the end. And you will thank God for your life one sweet day. You will see then, how every thought was known and every action was seen.
The Golden Rule is a good standard to follow. It is found in the Bible and other sacred texts of various religions:
“Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye also unto them.”
This will serve you well, especially if you make your Free Will choices with that end in mind. Not out of fear, but from a calm and centered place of knowing.
I feel that I’m walking my talk and living in alignment with my purpose when I feel a physical sensation in my body that I call, GodBumps. But even with any perceived missteps I make, I know that Omniscience envelopes me and I check my Ego at its feet. Some may call this Grace or Mercy. Some call it “being Saved.” No harm can come to me. I Am. Eternal.
Ivan Panin a self proclaimed atheist spent 15 years pouring over the Bible’s sacred texts and proved numerically that the original words could not have been scribed without divine intervention. His research changed his mind and opened him to accept God’s eternal plan. Will you study to show thyself approved?
Omniscience shall not be mocked!
No fear shall prevail against the believer. We humbly bow to a Higher Authority. 🙏
Check out my comment below Doreen’s post:
Breathe
Natural laws exist as a container for the human experiment. Breathe.
And as you breathe, think of something to be grateful for. Yes, #GRATITUDE for ALL you have been, and have the opportunity to BE.
Experience
The putative (subtle) energy of Omniscience is known by different names within human traditions. In traditional Chinese medicine it is called Qi (pronounced CHEE), in the Judeo-Christian tradition it is called Spirit, and in Ayurveda it is called Prana and represented in the doshas.
We Are All Connected. We are ALL One.

Isn’t it interesting that as the author of The fences of religion, I’m now making a case for a border wall? I’ve turned the kaleidoscope to look at this subject in a multitude of ways.
To every season, turn, turn, turn.
Information has recently come my way in defense of a U.S. and Mexican border wall, and I know many of my readers may be surprised (even disheartened), as to my feelings on this hotly debated issue.
But, as someone with skin in this (as my husband is one of the more than 800,000 furloughed workers–because 800,000 only counts the federal employees and my husband is a contractor), and much of NASA is closed down, I thought I should weigh in. I don’t have to go public with my opinion–so, grant me this before berating me, okay?
I’ve written about some deep topics on this blog before, though nothing political. That’s because as a registered Independent, I don’t vote in either primary election.
I was raised as a Republican, and changed to a Democrat in my 30s. Now, I’m pretty much fed up with the two major parties and lean towards the Green or Libertarian parties. We need to govern by the Constitution.
Wall of water
Remember the wall of water near the end of the movie, The Abyss?
Abyss wall of water
That’s kind of how I see this southern border wall issue. In the movie, the aliens needed to remain in the water, but Ed Harris needed to breathe, so they parted the water forming a water wall, yet continue to communicate.
In an upcoming article, I’ll tell you why I believe “the veil” is a temporary boundary.
Temporary
Walls are a temporary measure (all man made things are temporary), until hearts and minds change and there is no more need for “protection.”
Protection
Until the word, PROTECT, is removed from the dictionary, the constitution, oaths, etc. we need border security. We need to at least slow the flow of illegal immigrants from coming across the southern border. Besides, the democrats voted for the wall when Obama was president. They can vote for it now. I’m tired of the childish BS. And I’m really tired of the propaganda.
The question really is one of protection. And anyone who’s read my blog, Take It Upon Yourself, knows how much I love to dig into the real questions. The deep questions.
When we get to the mindset that “it really is all good” and that there is “value in Everything,” perhaps the emphasis will shift from protection to compassion and connection (which is what I inherently desire). This is why I’ve been silent on this issue–until now.
Under construction
I didn’t know until the other day that the Army Corp of Engineers is already building The WALL in sections, and replacing sections of old wall! So…this IS happening no matter what the Dems want.
Other walls
Israel has a wall. Israel says that wall is for border security. And from what I’ve read, Congress had no problem funding it (no problem continuing to send money to Israel though they have a wall). I don’t like what’s going on there either, but that’s another story and why I wouldn’t want to live there. Thank Omniscience I was born in THIS country.
The great wall of China certainly served a purpose in its time.
Great wall of China
Division in Nature
Every living thing has walls and borders—including us. It’s called skin. Cells have walls. Organs have walls. Walls are necessary to control order and flow.
If our blood vessels didn’t have walls, we wouldn’t live very long. So, it seems walls are needed to ensure things work. Though the walls of our body are porous. Size does matter.
Division is necessary for a design to work, but when it comes to relationships, I value blending over segregation, as a rainbow offers us distinct colors, but without any hard edges or delineating lines between them.
Holism and Oneness simply allows for ALL to work.
One of the beautiful things about the Universe is how it organizes things, but I digress. I just don’t think walls are inherently bad, as there is value in Everything.
Applying logic
For some time now, I’ve been on the fence about this whole issue, because by nature, I’m a “don’t fence me in” girl (note the picture of my granddaughter at the mountain top park fence), with one of my favorite songs from the 1960s being, “Tear Down the Fences.”
With my nature to explore, roam, etc. and be migratory (we are full-time RVers and I am of Native American heritage in part), I am all for having the freedom to move about. But, I can’t walk into someone else’s house uninvited. I can’t scale the wall of my favorite actors home without being shot. And I’m glad there are electric fences and armed guards around prisons.
But, as I looked at the picture of Jennifer at the fence today, my AHA moment was that the fence protected her from falling over the edge (of the mountain).
Don’t fence me in

Philosophically and spiritually, I agree with those who say that borders and walls separate. Obviously, right? I mean, I’m the one who writes that We Are All Connected. And for many years, I have said that you cannot legislate morality.
I watched the Berlin wall be taken down (and had a chunk of it), and supported the fall of the wall at the time. However, hearts and minds have to change first.
I am always seeking balance, and I am skeptical of much that is shared from the far Left and the far Right.
Life’s short. Feel good. ❤️🦋☯️

One of the beautiful things about the Universe is how it organizes things, but I digress. I just don’t think walls are inherently bad, as there is value in Everything.
