May. 9, 2007 - Alas, home again to help where it counts most: my family
Wow, it has been a long time since I blogged. After my trips to California and to Oregon, my daughter made me a proposal I couldn't pass up: help her and my three grandsons. She is an amazing doula, both a birth doula and post-partum doula, and often works nights. The boys were being left alone sometimes and at ages 14, 12, and 9, that was not the best situation, even though my daughter could make a good living.
So here I am in Arvada, CO, driving the boys to and from school and being an all-purpose helper. I have had time, since I don't have to make a living, to work on my books. I updated and divided my old book, "A Touchy Subject," into six smaller books called the "Teach Touch Series." The first two are done in e-book format, the second two are almost done, and the last two are coming soon.
I am now able to focus more on my calling, which is to teach about touch in order to reduce abuse. Touch is a large factor in the cycle of abuse and touch knowledge and skills can bring about mentally healthier families and a more peaceful society.
May you be touched as if you were the most precious thing in the world today. If that is the case, then I don't have to wish the usual upon you: Have a great day!
Feb. 28, 2007 - 5th Grade Smarts and Educational Transformation
I'm back in Denver after visiting Oregon and attending a Process Work seminar with Arny and Amy Mindell. Besides the deep experiential learning, there was lots of refreshing weather--pouring rain, sleet, snow and hail, gale-force winds, and barely a patch of blue sky in 5 days. And now it's snowing again in Denver. Personally, I'm ready for March to come in like a lamb, not a lion.
I have always been interested in educational transformation. For me, educational transformation involves learning how to learn, learning from the heart, following your curiosity to unfold new realizations, and making life-affirming choices from a broad knowledge base.
At a deeper essence level, learning is about discovering what you naturally know. Arny Mindell expresses this knowingness as “earth-based psychology,” finding the path of awareness of least action and most heart. This awareness path utilizes our day and night dreams, feelings, body symptoms, words, sounds, gestures, signals and whatever draws our attention in the moment.
The new TV show “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” beautifully illustrates how adults who are not regularly around children have lost a significant amount of basic elementary school knowledge. The adult contestants that appeared on last night's show haven’t had to use much of what they learned as a schoolchild and needed the help of a fifth grader to answer most of the questions. This suggests that what was learned often took place without a sense of personal value and meaning. Naturally, therefore, there is not much carry-over into daily adult life, as the show clearly portrays. So, why should we bother with all the pressure and stress of mandatory public schooling and ever-increasing testing?
We all need reading, writing and arithmetic, (and nowadays, I propose, touch-typing). Showing proficiency in those areas is important for our life work. Critical thinking skills are also valuable for developing dream projects and finding solutions to problems. General knowledge and world issues helps you to fit into society and feel like you belong to something bigger than just your body. How can our educational system make these priorities more meaningful, rather than tests and regurgitation of facts? In one word, make it FUN! True learning brings smiles to yearning faces.
I'll be driving back to Denver on Sunday, the 19th, leaving the 23rd for a workshop and back again in Denver the 27th, in case any of you Colorado friends are following my blog. Too bad I've haven't written much, but it's just been wonderful here in the SW Mojave. My friends I've been helping are doing well and I'm ready to move on; beginning to chomp at the bit. After my return on the 27th and filing my taxes, I'm planning on heading to Georgia, but without a car this time. My car has given me a strong message in the form of another thousand dollars (thank God I left a little in my biz account) worth of seals and stuff, that it doesn't like long trips. I'll nurse it back on Sunday, even though it's getting fixed today.
For the first time in many years I was with my oldest son on his birthday Tuesday. I'm so proud of him for quitting his job (that kept him more than "just over broke") and dedicating a month to his screen-play writing. Takes a little guts.
And I finally dedicated time to my book, now renamed, "How Were You TOUCHED AS A CHILD and Why Does It Matter?" It's about a third the length of the original, better organized, and geared more towards parents, teachers, and counselors. So my son and I both celebrated. It's ready to be book into an e-book form. Also my sitting booklet (Any Seat's An Easy Chair) and math (The Power of One) e-booklets will be online to order soon. I have five follow-up booklets to the one on touch coming soon too.
I can't wait to do more teaching. I've done lots of healing and physical work here and also helped in a special education class, but taught only one yoga class and one workshop. The workshop was awesome though: "Turning Little Annoyances Into Amazing Grace." I'd like to do it in Denver too. In case you or anyone you know is interested in helping set that up, please contact me.
Enough for now from 7th Heaven in Joshua Tree. Love and blessings to all, Paula (aka Teacher) Teacher
I like to say that life is all about awareness, when you boil things down. For me personally, that includes understanding and balancing my opposing tendencies. One is to "lighten up" and let go of people and things with the background message "Thou shalt not be too attached." I have always found that pretty easy, for better or worse. The other is a "holding together" energy of uniting with others in order to complement and aid each other, which, for anyone who is a uniter, is a great responsibility.
Here in the desert at my friends' place that I call "7th Heaven," the holding together part has strengthened as we complement each other beautifully. It's been a time of slowing down and tuning into deeper levels of understanding and acknowledgement of all our strengths and needs. After doing healing sessions and healthy labor around the property (things got behind during DJ's month in the hospital and quintuple bypass surgery), we are all going to teach. My second class on Deep Sensory Yoga is tomorrow and I'll be doing an all-day workshop Feb. 10th. Not only that, DJ has planned some guided tours to share his vast knowledge of the desert and Luana has scheduled a nature and sandplay oriented women's workshop.
Even though lots of cacti froze during the long cold spell,spring is coming now to the desert in the form of birds, bees, fresh plant shoots, and bringing people together to learn from wise elders. Teacher
And I thought I had gotten away from the snow when leaving Denver! We got an inch yesterday here in Joshua Tree, which excited the locals no end and even looked beautiful to me after seeing too much snow this year. It melted fast but this morning the coi pond is frozen over. A first!
I've been reading more stories about saints, this time Bhavagad Das, who was a big part of Ram Das' India trip and the one who introduced him to Neem Karoli Baba, their guru. Love and devotion are always the bottom line in these astounding stories. I'm also reading Arny Mindell's "The Dreamaker's Apprentice" which keeps putting me into a dreaming state so I haven't gotten very far. It's great to not be in a rush and to have more time to read.
Is there a business that runs on the foundation of love and devotion? How does that work? I'd like to find out.
I'm feeling like it's time to leave here soon and continue towards the San Diego area. We'll see. It's Saturday, a good day to reconnect with more old friends. I still haven't connected with possible places to help in New Orleans and that area definitely calls me. It would be an honor to help out there. Love and blessings to all. Teacher
After a wonderful 16 hour drive on the 4th of January, beating the third Denver blizzard out of town and which offered the perfect opportunity to listen to a six tape series on the "Lives of the Saints" by Hilda Charlton, I arrived at "7th Heaven." That's my name for my friends' property here in Joshua Tree. This is one of the many hidden gems behind desert gates that propels visitors into bliss.
Imagine a cozy house up against big rocks, trails around the rock piles that border on Joshua Tree National Park, a couple of coi ponds, a cactus garden that is covered in spring with huge splashes of colorful blossoms, innumerable happy, fluffy quails and other birds, and I could go on... It's a great place for a retreat and many old friends drop by just to hike up the stairs over the rocks to the next valley above. And until today, bright blue sky and afternoon warmth. The downside is that there has been a severe drought the last two years and many native desert plants are dead or dying. The uplifting arms of the Joshua trees are even endangered.
My service so far has been healing sessions and DJ, the husband, has made tremendous progress after quintuple bypass surgery. Of course, I help the caretaker, my soul-sister friend Luana, also. Every caretaker needs a caretaker. I've visited and run into old friends and have been very well-cared for. I sleep like a log, eat like a queen (only healthy foods), and connect more frequently and with greater quality to Spirit. Connections are being made for further places to stay, however, it seems I'm meant to stay here a while, which you'll never hear me complain about.
The second blizzard has begun here in Denver. So, my Be-Loved Project will actually start a few days later than planned. The process of preparing to leave a regular home and material possessions has been valuable. I am clear how much excess stuff I've accumulated and how my "Snow White" innocence is being tested. (You're doing WHAT?) I've had to listen to my intuition constantly regarding whether and what to take with me, what to pass on to my daughter, and how to clearly explain what I'm doing.
So, how's this: I'm freely going wherever invited to help boost hope and confidence in all people I encounter with no outside restrictions on what I can or cannot say or do. My goal is to share my knowledge and skills completely from my heart. Of course, lining up my head with my heart is essential too. This is unlike working for a system that can fire me for helping in a holistic way with academic, behavioral, emotional, healing, and relationship issues. Cheers and a Happy New Year to all! Teacher
Dec. 14, 2006 - The most powerful language in the world
Frank, who was the principal at a school where I taught, recently lost his wife and two young children in a hit-and-run accident. One thing I said to him was that I trust he will grieve with quality, the kind of quality he brings to his work, in order to pass on quickly through all the stages following such a horrific trauma and come to accept what is in peace. Beyond whatever words I used, I'm sure he could feel my love and compassion for him come across in my movements, touch, tone and other body language -- which I believe is the most powerful language in the world.
While walking in the canyon, many thoughts and feelings came up which I expressed to him in my head. Things like the teachings from Home With God in a Life That Never Ends by Neale Donald Walsch which makes it clear that death is a creative act and the timing is pefect according to each person's soul agenda and that of those he or she touched.
Anyway, the canyon was a perfect place to contemplate the rich cycle of life and death, which never ends. I did this by going into my emotions and working with them. Slowing down, as usual, was a big part of my process because it always helps me to tune into a higher level of consciousness that feels expansive, hopeful, and pure. Slowly drinking my water and sensing the gurgling brook in my belly became FUN. That's my job in life, to feel GOOD no matter what chaos is going on around me. To feel grounded, centered and balanced and stay in the NOW. With this ability comes a huge amount of gratitude and love, and efficiency of action. Busy-ness subsides. Overwhelm subsides. Peace arrives.
I have no fear of death, I believe. I've often stated, "Today's a great day to die." And Neale Donald Walsch's latest book, Home With God reinforces that death is a moment of creation and nothing to fear. I also have no fear of public speaking, especially after teaching for 40 years and presenting to lots of groups. However, I do, and always have had, a fear of falling.
Since this whole pilgrimage idea was brought on by a fall, it was no surprise to me that during my canyon treks I was a little shaky walking in certain areas, especially the slippery mud banks. And I love water and swimming, I definitely wouldn't be hurt, just wet, from such a fall into shallow water.
Although often irrational, we have beliefs from past experiences that have become habits that may be hard to break. The good news is there are so many systems available that can help us change limiting beliefs and habits.
So I processed this fear of falling and saw how it was related to fear of flailing my limbs and not being able to grasp ahold of something, an inability to support myself, and losing, literally and figuratively, the ground-- the support of Mother Earth.My process also led to a fear of failure.
Falling, flailing, and failing. It is all related in some complex way and clearly a fear to which I can apply all the tools I know in order to be free of its limitations. Then I'll have another amazing healing story full of hope to share. That's my vision, to help others even more easily with their fears so they become more hopeful and confident. So, friends, please ask me how I'm doing with my fear of falling. Blessings, Paula Teacher
Nov. 30, 2006 - Trusting my Thighs and the Little Things
Another day in the canyon was devoted to exploring a dry creek bed. This was my "microcosmic" day. I discovered that my usual proclivity to climb to the highest spot, around every bend, driving myself to see more and go further was in abeyance. The caves and heights that always beckoned me, and still did catch my attention, were not on my body's agenda. Whenever there was a big step up a rock, I just couldn't follow through because of a recently broken wrist and not trusting the strength of my thighs to pull me up. But it wasn't only that, because I could easily visualize high-stepping up on a rock without my left hand, but my body just wouldn't let me try. I finally realized and said to myself, "NO. I don't always have to be on the top. Wherever I am is perfect and all levels are involved in learning." I went into the SMALL.
While sitting in a little sandy spot in the dry river bed, for example, I noticed 12 varieties of tiny plants within touching distance and lovingly observed them in detail. Six were directly at my cross-legged feet. Once I got to an obvious waterfall place and thought it would be easy for any of the caretakers who live here to climb up those rocks, but I just couldn't even try. I turned towards the canyon walls and thought I'd climb up and over the waterfalls, but couldn't even do that either. So, I started back and was called to pay attention to the little things. The lighting changes and everything looks new when you walk from a different direction and at a later time of day. I thoroughly enjoyed finding new niches, dried bones I hadn't seen before, and different pathways through the rocks. I wondered whether someone could tune into the rocks and the energy field shift of those I had stepped on while I went up and be able to follow my invisible trail? Perhaps indigenous trackers could. The "invisibles"-- what's behind, within and between everything in nature-- were beckoning and nurturing me.
No more HIGH-STEPPING for me right now, I'm going in to the microcosm. It's peaceful and rich. Just like in business, too, we need some team members who want to climb the mountaintops and others who want to work at other levels, even in the little cracks. But, no matter what, we have to be in our senses and aware of what is going on at whatever level we are perceiving.An infinite number of perceptions, and therefore thoughts, make for great diversity and opportunities for acceptance and cooperation. Love and blessings to all. Teacher
One day in the enchanted canyon I devoted six hours to exploring downriver. As I meandered with the river, I made 6 stops at various enticing places, but sometimes I had to scramble through some pretty heavy plots of prickly plants that stuck easily to my skirt, sandals, and skin. Finding and following the elk trails helped me get through with minimal scratches to amazing, peaceful settings.
I also noticed that there were lots of tangled up weeds, branches, and other "stuff" caught from the summer's floods against the branches of the bushes along the shore. Tangled webs and brambles -- life is like that. Carefully pick your way through and around, (following those in the know -- the elk -- helps too) and the outcome is, perhaps, like in the canyon, a joyous and thankful power place of beauty and peace.
What do I bring to those I encounter on my journey? What do you bring to those you encounter in your business? More HOPE?
The Spring 2006 issue of Parabola magazine's theme is "Coming to Our Senses." I read the whole magazine during my enchanted canyon retreat. David Abrams' article on "The Invisibles" reminded me that the three invisibles are connected to indigenous people's prayers, songs and teachings, which are always tied into natural forces.
As I was reading, while also remembering to check out the plants, bugs, and birds around me, I got a message: Go deep into one thing--into "oneness."
It has always been difficult for me to focus on one thing. Way back when I first tried to meditate by sitting still or sitting and staring into a candle flame, I could only focus for a couple of minutes before getting frustrated or bored. However, yoga helped me to feel my body deeply and to connect to the earth. I now know what it means to accept the support of the earth, as in letting your weight relax into the earth, and then, without losing that groundedness, receiving the counterforce towards the heavens. Gravity and light are two forces to which all life forms respond: invisible forces with which we are in continual felt relationship.
Anyway, I looked intently at a small bit of a cedar branch a couple of feet in front of me and was amazed that as I relaxed into this little speck of the tree, my peripheral vision picked up various flying insects, subtle movements of plants and branches, and gorgeous cobwebs that shimmered colorfully in the sunlight, swaying with the breeze. I went deeply into a state of expansion and bliss.YUM!
Conclusion, without our senses, how can we really know anything? By coming to our senses, we can easily see how we humans are abusing the earth and could lose the support it offers. So, I pledge to feel, see, smell, taste, hear and touch as fully as possible. I will help those I encounter to reconnect to nature and their senses, to feel more wholesome and grounded. Just like the iridescent cobwebs shifting with the breeze, yet still hanging on, we can observe the feelings our thoughts arouse and shift them to adjust to feel-good thoughts. We can hang in there through coming to our senses; our shine can bring smiles and HOPE to others.
This is part of the self-awareness and belief systems work that I do with my lighten up! learning business. Teacher
Last week was the most thanks-giving full week I've ever had. Living in a protected wild canyon in SW New Mexico for 4 days allowed me to be engulfed in nature and to re-connect to the earth and all my senses. Check out www.animacenter.com to read more about the power of this place and its special teachings about re-inhabitating the land and re-inhabitating your body through your senses. I'm placing several blogs about the experience, to be posted in sequence. Enjoy.
Lessons from the canyon:
I arrived Friday at the designated parking area on a dirt road outside the little town of Reserve, NM in the early afternoon and I lovingly looked up at the enchanted canyon that I remembered from 4 years previously. For 4 months the caretakers, Wolf, Loba and Kiva, and Kiva's 6-yr-old daughter, Rhiannon, were unable to drive the pickup into town because of rain and floods. However, it was now passable and I proceeded to walk into the canyon, wearing my favorite long, full silk contra dance skirt and open-heeled sturdy slip-on sandals. The skirt got tucked up into my waistband and the sandals were carried during the crossings. I let my mind relax and enjoyed the reconnection to Mother Earth, blessing the cool (well, COLD) babbling water, flora and fauna all the way and feeling full of gratitude to be back.
No one can sneak into the canyon without the caretakers at the top of the hill knowing since the birds make quite a chatter. Even though it's only a mile and a half, I took my time and enjoyed stepping into gratitude. At the top, Loba gave me a warm welcome and took me to the "new" cabin that hadn't been there on my previous visit, the Godess cabin. One of their interns taught herself how to build it from a book and it's precious and cozy, mice had not found a way in yet, another thing to be grateful for. No running water and no electricity and no candles allowed and I forgot my flashlight. For eliminating #2 I used a composted outhouse a couple minutes walk away.
First lesson, take each step with gratitude. More later, Paula Teacher
I have a break from teaching at community colleges before Thanksgiving so I'm going on retreat. Of course, I could theoretically retreat right from home as I live next to Sloan's Lake and can be out in a beautiful setting instantaneously. However, four years ago I stayed in a beautiful, protected canyon in south-east New Mexico and have always wanted to go back. You have to hike in 1.5 miles and cross a shallow river 7 or 8 times to get there, which helps you ground and enter the precious canyon in respect and peace. There are just a couple of cabins and the caretakers.
There I will be meditating, writing, and checking into my soul to uncover more unresolved issues before I start my pilgrimage. Peace and clarity will be the outcome. Please wish me well. I'll be in a heavenly state there and hope to carry it back with me after a long drive home into a Thanksgiving full of the most gratitude I've ever experienced in my life. Love and blessings to you all. Paula Teacher
My upcoming spiritual/political journey has brought up several questions from people. Tonight I've been thinking about my lifelong desire to just teach and train wherever I'm called and the phrase, “It’s all about awareness” came back as a reminder. I have already listed the types of classes and sessions I love to do in various business proposals and on my website. What I do boils down to the 3 As: ALL ABOUT AWARENESS.
Strengthening your feelings of tender affection and gratitude toward one and all; Increasing love, peace, passion and clarity Knowledge and skills that empower and permit peace of mind Empower yourself with new wisdom, feelings of tender affection, and gratitude Becoming whole and holy
So these are the questions for those interested in connecting me to people who want an extra helping hand: • Do you often feel confused or overwhelmed? • Is there too much discontent within your family? • Are your emotions keeping you from being free?
What I offer is designed to help people in our fast-forward world learn techniques that draw from both ancient traditions and the latest in scientific theory in order to FEEL GOOD. Then, we DO GOOD. To help with "knowing thyself" I can do inner and group awareness exercises, recognition meditation, Process Work theory, relationship strengthening, and how to defuse emotional triggers.
In my education work I help people understand how learning styles affect communication and how to pass on your expertise by tutoring. I also offer student and family advocacy, educational assessment, and home/school collaboration.
For help with healing I use movement, touch, deep yoga and energy psychology techniques like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).
As a super support person I help individuals and various support groups discover personal "whole-ly-ness."
So, who do you know around the country that wants any of this kind of help for free? I can't wait to help thousands of people during my The Be-Loved Project pilgrimage. Teacher
Nov. 10, 2006 - Clarity and certainty can be elusive
People are saying, "So-and-so told me about your project. But (s)he really couldn't explain it." I think, "That's no wonder, I can't explalin it well either." I feel more clear than certain about this whole endeavor. There are many unknown "X"s, "Y"s, and "Z"s. So at this point my journey seems like a complex algebraic formula. It'll take well-ordered steps and knowledge of universal rules to find a solution, if indeed there is one. Maybe it'll end up "undefined" like dividing by zero.
I'm totally clear I must do this and I certainly know that what unfolds is very uncertain. Like a business plan, the projections are constantly adjusted as time goes on and the planned steps are taken or not taken successfully.
Writing about the process of preparing for this journey is something like writing my strategic business plan. My vision and mission are foremost. Then steps to bring about the vision unfold through thoughtful plans or spontaneous adjustments. For example, I have received my "Annuity Surrender Request" form from my IRA so I can pay off my credit cards and the second mortgage on my little desert house in Joshua Tree. That's a big step and without it, or a magical influx of unexpected monies to pay off the debts, I wouldn't be able to start this journey. A spontaneous adjustment was made when I discovered there is a little extra left over that I can put into my business account to pay my cell phone and website fees. So, now I've decided to keep my phone and website going. I can hold on to helpful, practical things, you know.
Do you know anyone who would like to manage my lighten up! learning website and business account? I have expressed the thought to the Universe that lighten up! learning (LUL) is easily taken care of while I'm off teaching. Teacher
I was reminded in a conversation with a friend today of how easy it is for me to start things, and how easy it is for me to let go of what I started because the starting seems to be my passion and once I've proved I can do something, well, time to try something else.
I could say that it's difficult for me to hold on to things, and that would be true too. However, that connotes that I'm somehow wrong because I can't keep ahold of what I started. Maybe my calling is the starting, or awakening, of things. I prefer to think I'm continually awakening and helping others awaken to the fullness and potential of who they really are.
So, I must let go of another thing: the judgment that not holding on like a bulldog to something I've started is bad. Others make great bulldogs, which is so necessary for follow-through and completion of projects. However, I do not have to be a bulldog, but I can, whenever I wish, and I have followed through and completed many things.
Would you rather have money or good health? Obviously wealth is not just money and material prosperity. And, of course, what each of us means by being wealthy is unique. Most, I venture to say, would say wealth includes financial freedom. The dictionary says wealth is: "an abundance of those things men desire; riches." And wealthy means: "affluent; more than sufficient; abounding."
Since I believe in a more than sufficient, abundant universe, I always feel wealthy. For me wealth also includes abundant energy, friendships, learning, liberty, and great health. Since making the decision to do my spiritual pilgrimage and let go of my material possessions and go in a state of love and service wherever I'm welcome, I already feel much wealthier than at any other time in my life. By the time I leave Denver at the end of December I will be debt-free and fancy-free, in the sense that I will carry no material burdens with me and have no credit cards or bank accounts. I don't know why, but this feels joyous to me.
I also understand that those who create wealth through worthwhile businesses can leave a big footprint in the world by giving back, but that just doesn't fit who I am. I know I can create money and give back by doing my business, but I'd rather not. And I'm happy to let others make money off my business, believe it or not. Peace Pilgrim made a huge footprint while penniless for 28 years. I'm following in her footsteps.
May you feel as full of LOVE and GRATITUDE as I do. Paula Teacher
Nov. 2, 2006 - How is a spiritual pilgrimage like a business?
How is a spiritual pilgrimage like a business? They both need the language of attraction. The classic 30-second elevator speech used in business to get someone's immediate attention and desire to know more is also needed for me to present The Be-Loved Project. The power of the words we choose to invoke feelings is of utmost importance because we really respond from a feeling level, often unconsciously. So, I'm working on my presentation of what I'm doing and why and would welcome ideas on how to express my calling clearly, passionately, and in various formats to various people.
For example, I could say: When people are full of hope, love and compassion, there's plenty of room for peaceful feelings and actions versus violence and depression. I'm lending a helping hand to people across the nation because I love being a super supporter. My passion is to help people lighten up their lives by offering lots of tools from 40 years experience in teaching and psychology. The result is more hopeful and easier living.
So, what do you think folks? Does that get your attention? Do you have some more ideas?
I invite everyone who reads my blog to participate in my spiritual (and poliltical) pilgrimage by spreading the word in any way you can imagine, helping me plan, or coming over during my "letting-go potlucks" Sun, Nov 26th and Sat, Dec 9th from 2-5 p.m.
Big HUGS and THANKS to all! With great excitement, Paula.
"The river is flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift, that there are those who are afraid. They try to hold on to the shore. They are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know that the river has its destination.
The Elders say we must let go of the shore. Push off into the middle of the river. Keep our heads above the water. And see who is there with you and celebrate.
At this point in history, we are to take nothing personally, for the moment we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves. Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
This powerful, clear quotation speaks to me strongly and fits my pilgrimage to a tee. Clearly the time is NOW for all of us to do what we are most passionate about. I hope it helps motivate you as it does me. Stay tuned. Teacher
