Welcome to another episode of the Becoming Bulletproof podcast. And by the time this airs, we will probably be about a month into.
Quarantine and I literally 5 minutes ago got off a zoom call with my own therapist. I've been seeing the same therapist since I was in rehab. So currently, God, close to eight years now, seeing the same therapist who is also an enneagram 8. She is the one responsible for introducing me to the Enneagram back then. If you've listened to any of the previous podcasts, you've heard the story about when I was in rehab and she made me take this thing and I was kicking and screaming as I took it. I was like, don't you put me in a box. And she was like, this will get you out of the box.
We just got off an amazing session and I am just going to be really real. I don't know how this episode's gonna go. I don't know how much Enneagram talk it will be. Even though like my solo episodes on Tuesdays are usually reserved for Ennea talk and, and all of that, I'm sure because I use it and integrate the Enneagram in pretty much all aspects of my life. As a tool. It's not the end all, be all, but it's a very powerful tool.
But I just wanted to speak from the heart today. I think that as this has gone on, you know, the first week or two, it was even this novelty of like, yay, let's just like see how gonna go. And you know, all the different Enneagram Enneagram types showing up online and so all sorts of different, different ways. You know, a lot of the threes are out there making shit happen and I applaud them with zero judgment. You know, there's Been a lot of crap said about the opportunists, and. And I'm here to tell you, like, don't throw stones. You know, I really work hard to look at every situation and every human being without judgment, because if you spot it, you got it. And if you're throwing shade at people, I'm gonna really encourage you to take a deep, hard look in the mirror, because I'm not immune. Like, every once in a while, I'll be, oh, God, you know, when I see certain people show up, and I was like, okay, what's that say about me? So as I take on this episode today, I really have been.
Praying hard, to be honest with you, not for resolution in the world, because I think as we are being made very, very, very, very aware. And, you know, I'm one of those. The last eight years, specifically to know that, like, you know, I'm not in charge of any of this down here on Earth, you know, the Serenity prayer is one of the mottos I live by. You know, God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. And very much about our life right now, we have zero control over. Yes. How we show up in the world. Absolutely. We do have control over that, as long as it's via the interwe. You know, in communities together, as, you know, the collective in each other's personal space, which I think that's been something that's been very, very hard even for an introvert like me who prefers alone time and things like that. I know there are certain things that I will never, ever take for granted again, like a hug or time with the people that I care about. Even though my inner circle is very, very, very small, my time spent with them is something that I treasure, and quality time is my love language. And even though we can't spend that quality time with human beings in person, I think this is the area where technology. Thank God for it. You know, between FaceTime and Zoom and Marco Polo and text messaging and even the good old phone. Right. I think that it's putting things into perspective and at a very fast rate of what's really important. And I think that's where I wanted to come to you today.
You know, what I've learned the last month? A month ago, none of us really could have predicted where we're at today. And it just goes to show you, the last several years of my life, specifically, I have experienced how life can turn on a dime. And when we look at others that have had that happen. We're like, oh, you know, we feel compassion and empathy for them, but then secretly, we're like, thank God it wasn't me. Right? And I think this is the first time ever that the entire world, as a unit, is experiencing the same thing. And it didn't discriminate to a certain income bracket. It didn't discriminate to a certain country. I think that we're all affected by it. And what we choose to do with this, I think, will determine how your life goes, how my life goes, how the world goes. And we can choose to use this as something much bigger, even in spite of the pain. I mean, I'm experiencing pain as a result of this. I know many, many people are. Whether it's loss, loss of life, loss of jobs, loss of income, loss of control, loss of freedom.
And what we can do with that moving forward is something that's very powerful. And, you know, if you've listened for any length of time, you're very aware that I'm an Enneagram 8, which is the challenger. And as an 8, we don't like to be vulnerable or put in a vulnerable situation. And this experience has rocked me to my core. Thankfully, I have lots of tools in my toolbox to know what that feels like and surrender to it and trust the process. And, you know, know, high involvement, low attachment to what that looks like. Thank God, because had this happened a decade ago, Trace would have all hell breaking loose in every aspect of her life, you know, thrashing around like a caged animal. But the thing that I've really realized through this, even at a higher level than I already knew, was, like, we don't walk alone. And that's probably the hardest to do for the enneagram 8. The type on the Enneagram that has the hardest time with this is the eight. Thankfully, I'm a healthy one.
But I think all the types are experiencing what that feels like. You know, the ones that keep everything looking picture perfect, and, you know, we're day by day on this thing. We don't have an end game in sight or a timeline of when life as we know it could go back to normal, you know, in whatever that's gonna look like. The twos, you know, are frantically running around, like, who can I help? But they can't physically be with anybody, so they feel handcuffed. The threes, like, what can I create to make the world a better place? Or if they're not so healthy, what can I create to make myself feel Valid and an authority. And the Fours are feeling all the things and super emotional, which is totally understandable. The Fives are on lockdown.
Probably, really. They're the. They're the type probably thriving the most in all of this.
And the Sixes are, you know, one way or the other, they're either prepared for this, the Sevens, they're either spinning out or tapping into such beautiful creativity and artistry, whatever that is for them. And then there's the eights like me, who are either like, surrendering to this with. With. With a lot of pain and I'll get to that, or they're being rebellious and defiant. And then the nines, either they're that Yoda wisdom or they just completely have shut down. So, I mean, this affects all of us in different ways. And that's why compassion is so important. And, you know, the last, especially the last week or so for myself, I have felt this pull to, like, how do I add value to the world? How can I use the gifts? How can I use my experience to benefit others right now? And I've gone several times to do something, and it's almost like I hit a wall. Call it whatever you want, Spirit universe. For me, it's God basically stop me dead in my tracks and say, not now. And that's very hard for especially somebody like me who likes to handle shit. That's an eight trait. We just handle it. Like if we had a bumper sticker, that's what it said. We just handle shit. And for me to kind of be silenced by that, I have to do an inventory. So this is my process. And I thought I would use this episode to kind of share you my process and how I use the enneagram in parts of my life and having that level of self awareness about where I tend to go when under stress and when I can recognize that I'm growing and celebrate that and also have compassion for myself and along the way.
But when I'm taking an inventory, when I have something like that happen where, like, I want to do something, I want to do something, I want to do something. And I know there's so many of you. I'm seeing you all online, you know, doing cool things like whether it's cooking or funny memes or, you know, you're coaching people or teaching people how to build online businesses and work from home. And I've, you know, I've been doing that behind the scenes as well. So I totally get it. It's needed. And then there's this part where it's like, when you are present enough with yourself and aware enough of who you are that you are led by that instinct and intuition. And because I'm an eight, I naturally make most of my decisions based on intuition. We use our head, our heart, and our intuition at all times, but the eight, nine, and one naturally use that one first. And it's when I'm present with myself enough that.
I can't ignore it. And for so many years, I did. You know, it's like, yeah, that doesn't work with what my mind wants to do, right? How many of you have done that? You have it set in your head how you believe something's going to go, and then instincts or that gut feeling will come and we just ignore it. Lord knows I had done that enough in my life in 40 years to realize that that was not going to happen anymore. But it's still really hard, especially when you want to do something. So when I'm taking my inventory of what that looks like, I had to be really fucking honest with myself. And it was hard to look in the mirror and say, okay, am I wanting to help and add value because I truly do, or is it because I don't want to feel all this stuff? It's way easier to disassociate our own emotions and our own feelings when we're in service of others. Don't get me wrong. Like, most of the time, genuinely, I'm in service to others because that is what I am called to do. That's my intuition saying, you know, I don't know what this looks like, but keep walking. And then there are these other times where, you know, I feel the need to speak and use my voice. And usually when I feel that need, it's coming from ego. I'm just being really, really honest.
And looking in the mirror and realizing that because I don't use my old coping mechanisms of food, alcohol, codependency, anger, sex, whatever, like, I'm not using any of those coping mechanisms today. By the grace of God and a lot of work, what I'm left with is emotions and feelings and all of that. And especially when we are on lockdown without all the distractions that we had a month ago. What I'm left to deal with is a lot of that. And so looking in the mirror and recognizing that me wanting to serve, maybe today, or use my voice is.
One of those ways that in the past I have used to not just keep myself accountable, which is a good thing, but also to disassociate my emotions from me. Because if I'm helping other people, then it's not about what I'm feeling anymore. And that's something for somebody like me that can, if that goes on too long, it can get very, very slippery. And it's just a matter of time before I disassociate completely from my head and my heart, right? And so, you know, by the time this airs, I may have gone into my own little incubator. I've been really praying about it because I don't want to go into it. But I know that that's what I'm being called to do because of what I just said. And you know, when you think about an incubator and what they're for, it's to keep you warm and to grow in a healthy environment. And when you come out of it, you're stronger and.
Able to fight the good fight that is life, right? Think about babies and incubators, right? A little chickies in incubators. And even though that's not what I want to do, I know that that is what I'm being called to do right now as I record this. Because.
For me to do what I'm supposed to do, I have to sit in my own stuff for a while. And I experienced this back almost three years ago when I got really sick. And you know, I wanted to take that experience and talk about it right away. Like the minute I found out I was sick and that there were other people that could benefit from what I know, like I wanted to talk about it right way, right away. And I had the same experience back then was like, no, be still. Just be still and take care of you because your message is much greater than the right now. And that's what I'm being faced with today. I know that what I'm being called to do is much bigger than the right now, than the damage control that's happening right now. And you know, it just hit me as I was saying that.
All my really close friends in inner circle know that I, when it comes to crisis death, I am never that friend that when somebody dies, like swoop in and make all the meals and hold your hand and you know, I'm checking in. Obviously I'm not cold or anything like that, but I've always been the six week later friend or the week later person after everybody goes away, right? And the reason I don't jump in, in triage when it's happening.
At the front end of it is because there's people, people are being swarmed with stuff. And if you look at what's happened the last three weeks to a month. There is tons of value being added on social media, tons and tons and tons of it. And people doing it for really great reasons and some people doing it because they don't want to feel. Again, no judgment.
But the way that I'm looking at this for me is like I need to be that six week friend to you on social media at least. And like social media isn't the end all, be all. I have a love, not so love with it. Using social media has allowed me to build a brand, build multimillion dollar business online. Like I'm super grateful for it and at the same time I have also used it as a crutch and something to hide behind or you know, let's just be real like the vanity metrics. The ego likes it, you can get instant feedback on stuff. And the last week I've been so emotional, like a roller coaster of emotions. All of it's good. You know, it's funny when I tell people that they're like, ooh. I'm like, no, it's good, that's healthy. To feel is healthy, doesn't mean I always like it or it's not always predictable, which I don't like. But I honor the process. Like I said, I have a high involvement, a low attachment to what that process looks like. And as I end the day today going into my own incubator.
It'S basically my way of being that six week friend to you. I think in a couple weeks as this drags on and those people that are out there just adding so much value and thank goodness for them, they've been a beautiful healthy, some of them healthy distractions, some of them maybe not, I don't know, it doesn't matter either way. But they might get burnt out or they may hit their own wall or who knows what could happen in a month that my the way that I can best serve not just you all or whoever chooses to listen to anything I have to say.
Will be best if I take that time in the incubator and really watch this as the people trickle off and the grind of what adding value every day looks like. I mean I've done it for years, so I know how hard it is. But I think my calling and my role in this earth is best served as I take a step back and really observe and honor my own process too. You can't give what you don't have. And me wanting to add value today, even though I'm totally capable of doesn't come as easily or as authentically when I'm trying to disassociate my own feelings from things. And the way that I have served best in my life is when it has been in complete surrender without manipulation, without attachment to an outcome, with anything like that. I told you, I just got off the zoom with my therapist and we were talking about something, you know, there's been.
Now four areas of. In my life that I have gone into it with complete surrender. The first one happening when I was 40 years old. So that's, you know, my. My whole existence on the front end of this life has been very conditional. I didn't know any better. I didn't have the tools. I didn't have the mindset, the skill set, the heart set to be able to navigate what full surrender looks like. You know, everything I did was like, I'll do this if right. And even the highly spiritual people, we go into full surrender and abundance and all of that, and we want to manifest shit in our life. But even when we try to manifest shit, if there's an agenda, hidden agenda, or an attachment to it, rarely does it go the way we want or if it does, it doesn't have the same fulfillment or pack the same kind of power that we intended it to or would have loved it to. So the four areas of my life when the first one was when I went into recovery, if you've listened before, I was in a relationship that was so bad at the time, super toxic. And I remember him saying, well, don't go to try and save us, is what he said as I left, or as I made the decision to go. And I had to again, take an honest look in the mirror, like, am I doing this for this or am I doing this for me? And it was very clear in that moment that this was for me, 100% for me. And I had no attachment to what I would come home to other than my kids. Obviously. I knew that the kids would be there, but I was completely surrendered to the fact that nothing about my life before I was about to walk in that room would ever be the same, other than the love I have for my kids. And, you know, I'm close to eight years of sobriety today. I live a very strong recovery life every single day and have. And that came with the full surrender. The second one was when I decided to start my network marketing business because nothing made sense on paper. I was least likely to make that happen. And if you are just tuning in now for the first time, this may not make Sense. But I'll just give you the Cliff Notes. Basically went from zero social network.
Zero friends, zero income, zero experience, zero to a million dollars in just over two years in that network marketing business. Complete surrender to how that looked. High involvement to the process, zero attachment to the outcome.
The third time was just a short three years ago when my health really took a turn. And, you know, I so badly wanted to get better, but, you know, there was so much noise out in the world about autoimmune and Lyme disease and breast implants and all the other things. And even in talking to doctors, like, I had to, in that moment, surrender to the process and be my own best advocate. That means being present enough to hear the intuition and trust my instincts and, you know, surrendering not only my ego, my body, my calendar, my bank account, the outcome of what this would look like. No date of end in sight.
Happy to report, three years later, I pivoted quite a few times. I went rogue quite a few times, Even taken myself out of the country to fight for my health.
And today I'm thriving and healthier than I've probably been mind, body and soul my entire life. And I just turned 48. So that was another experience when I surrendered to the process. High involvement, low attachment to what that looks like. And even just recently, I can sort of candidly say, deciding that I was going to open my heart up to dating again after seven years of not, not one date in seven years to open myself up to what that might look like and actually looking in the mirror and say, well, fuck, I hope I can walk my talk like, I've helped people in relationships. I've helped people save their marriages. I've helped, you know, people in all sorts of ways in relation, yet I hadn't been able to actually practice that with an intimate relationship. And I remember the day that.
I was blindsided by it and it scared me and I resisted it for several months and then, you know, God had bigger plans and made sure that I could not ignore it again. And being open to what that looks like and how I've shown up in romantic relationships in the past has a lot to do with how I grew up and with my father and all the work I've done, done the last eight years around that, it's great to know that I've done the work, but you really don't put stuff into practice until you're in the game, right? And really being open to love again.
In a way that is a lot more intimate than with my girlfriends and my kids. And people that I work with in the human race, this is like the most vulnerable parts of my heart. And to really, honestly go into that with full surrender to what that looks like. I know, I think I know how the outcome is, but surrendering to the process of how we get there. Right. And I was just telling my therapist, like, this could go a few different ways. Like, either it's the greatest love story I've ever told and. Or I'm going to learn a hell of a lot about myself along the way. And both are true. Right. So, you know, when I surrender completely and quit negotiating the timeline with God universe, a power greater than myself.
Everything works out how it's supposed to. Does it go how I expect it to? Almost never. I never would have thought this Irish girl who only, like, I was raised to drink and fight. If you had told me that eventually in my 40s, I would do neither. Like, I'm. I don't fight because it's pointless, and I don't drink because it's pointless for me. If you had told me that, I would have said, no way. But when we surrender, beautiful miracles can happen. When I surrendered to what network marketing could do for my life, I changed the legacy of my entire family and generations that will follow had I just gone off what it looked like on paper and in my brain. No way does the miracle happen that that happens. And not just for me, but for the hundreds of thousands of people that I've been able to help along the way. Like, thank God I got out of my own way and was, you know, so blessed with whatever gifts God put in me to be able to use that for something bigger. But that wouldn't have happened without the full surrender. My health. I have seen thousands of people die from Lyme disease and.
All sorts of autoimmune and quality of life take a shit and the isolation that comes with that. And to know that I'm thriving, I know isn't by accident. It came with the full surrender and the willingness to do my own deeper emotional work that I didn't even realize there was that much more to do. But there was. And to be thriving at 48 years old after facing my deathbed a short three years ago, that doesn't happen without the surrender completely to the process. And, you know, although the love story, who knows what that looks like?
It's at early stages. I'm just gonna say that now. I just said it for the world to hear, so whatever.
I don't know how that's gonna go, but either way, either way, I know that it's gonna be a beautiful journey, even if it's just me learning a lot about myself. And when I learn a lot about myself, beautiful things can happen for the greatest good, whether it's for the people in my home, the people that I meet on the street, the people I talk to on this podcast, the Interweb. Whatever our experiences, no matter how far down the scale we have gone, we can see how our experience can benefit others. And so, as I make the decision to go into my own little incubator and surrender, like, I'm scared. I'm scared just like many of you. Do I have hope? Fuck, yes. I have tons of hope. I have so much hope for what this looks like on the other side of this. I really, really do. Do I have an attachment of how we get there? No, I really don't. Well, that's actually not true. I really. I have had it up until today. I have had some kind of attachment. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to be, like, adding value here and there when my instinct and intuition is clearly saying, be still, my love, be still. It's time to go into the incubator. But when I do surrender to the process, it's never let me down before, and mighty miracles happen. And I share all of this with you guys because I know that by the time this airs, we will be well into about week six of the new normal and the new way that we will operate in the world. And I am confident by sharing this stuff with you, somebody who has worked very, very hard for close to a decade, every single day, on my own, emotional, spiritual, mind, health, all the different wellness there is that we are still human. We're still human beings that feel. You know, my therapist and I were talking about the fact that my whole life I've been told I was strong and I was the strong one. And I am like, no question about it. And for many, many years, I wore it as a badge of honor to stay safe. Because if I was the strong one, then nobod would hurt me. Nobody would need me, or they would need me, but I would have the upper hand. I would be left alone.
And I still am strong. But the way that I look at that with different perspective today is I am strong. Yes. And I still feel, and I'm still human, and I still hurt. And I still have, you know, moments where I want space held for me and for me to even admit that is really something new. I have never said, can you please just hold me up ever in my entire Life until this last year and a year or so. And I think when my uncle passed away, that's when I realized that I was going to need to lean in because he was that person for me. And I want you to know that even though there are many of you listening right now that are the strong one, you are the Rock. I've been known as the Rock my entire life, and I had to come to terms with. Although early on I used to resent the fact that I was called that. I mean, yes, I loved it because it kept me safe, but I also resented it because there was this part of me screaming, Chris, screaming inside as a little girl saying, but see me, you've heard me say all the time, when we are seen, heard and understood, that's when we feel most at home.
And being told I was strong my whole life meant that people couldn't see though, that I was actually hurting. And people can't read our minds, either. A little disclaimer there. People can't read our minds. But.
You know, being told I was strong early on also felt like I was being neglected, right. Because I still had stuff to feel. And thankfully, you know, no matter what happens in our life or how we were raised or the trauma we have faced or the neglect or abuse or whatever that looks like, when we are adults, we have our own life and we can choose to learn a new way. Does it mean it comes naturally? No. Does it mean we have to recondition some old ways? Absolutely.
But for those of you that are known as the strong ones and the rocks out there, I want you to know it's okay to feel and to ask for people to hold that space for you. And actually, what I've realized is the more that I do that, especially to my close people, you all know who you are.
The more strong I become in a way that is coming from that powerful vulnerability and not necessarily that fear strength. Right. Because I think a lot of us put up the stoic, strong type, a masculine energy, not knocking it completely because it definitely serves a purpose. But when it's coming from a place of fear and protection, that doesn't always work. Right? We can be strong in our vulnerabilities. Thank you, Brene Brown, for being the queen of that and teaching me so much about that along the way that actually, the more we lean in and say, you know what? I'm hurting and I need you. I don't need you to fix it. I don't need you to have an answer, but just hold space for me, there's so much power and strength that comes from that. And intimacy. That is intimacy into me, you see. And I just felt called to share that with you today. I know people aren't driving around to work or in their normal ways of listening to podcasts. Maybe you're taking a walk. By the time this airs, we will be at the end of April. So the weather might be changing for you out here in Arizona. It may be 120, who knows? But if this message is landing on your heart today, know that it was not by accident. You needed to hear this. Whether it was for you or somebody that you love.
You know, because if you aren't known as maybe the strong one, but you're maybe more the support, I want you to really think about your strong people too.
Because they do have feelings and they do hurt, even if they don't want you to think they do. Trust me, we do. And it feels really hard at first, but also very, very powerful to lean in.
You know, there is a power greater than us that we can lean into. And there are also areas that that power greater than us can use you for something greater too. And it's really having the discernment to know what that is. And so as I enter my little incubator, by the time you're hearing this, I might be coming out of it.
This is the time that I need to use that power for me so I can help you. And when, when the intuition tells me it's time to come out, then that's when it will use me for something much greater than me.
I know this is so hard, isn't it? And it's beautiful. There have been so many blessings that have come from this different perspective shifts that I needed to do. Also new awarenesses of the things that I procrastinate and avoid and, you know, get busy doing so I can, you know, avoid or even sabotage myself. There's. There's been new levels of awareness around. Oh, this is how Tracy goes about sabotaging herself and being willing to look at all the parts. I was speaking to a group last week about the Enneagram and self awareness and how powerful it is. Like, sometimes we just look at all the beautiful parts, Sometimes we just look at all the crappy parts. There's some of us that really go down the dark hole, but you have to be willing to look at all of you gotta look at the shiny and the shitty, all of it. And that's all those pieces matter. And they all come together. The shitty parts are just letting us know that We're a little off, that's all. Doesn't mean that we use that to beat ourselves up. So as this new awareness daily that comes for me and I'm looking at those parts of me with compassion and empathy and love, for those parts of me to take the time in this beautiful gift we've all been given of time, we've all been given this gift. Even in the uncertainty, even if you've lost your job, even if you don't know if you're going to have enough money to keep a roof over your head, even if you lose somebody to this, this time is a gift if you choose to use it that way. To look at all parts of you with love, compassion, and to really let yourself go into your own little incubator to see what you're actually here for.
Not just for you, not just for your family, but for the calling that is on your life. And I believe the only time we can really hear that is when we are present with ourselves. And if that means somebody like me who likes to disassociate sometimes that means I have to put myself in my own self imposed incubator for a little bit, then so be it.
High involvement to the process, low attachment to what that looks like. And obviously I'll be releasing and recording podcasts, but I think my time on social media for a while is going to be a little quiet. And that's okay. That's okay. I know that, you know, as that six week friend, my services, my heart, my wisdom will be best used that way. And the way to really have a clear message on what I'm supposed to do next, the next right thing to do is to kind of be present with myself without the disassociating going on and be okay with that even when it feels like I'm not doing anything. That's hard for me. And I know for many of you that's hard for you. You're in like Tasmanian devil mode because you don't feel like you're doing anything. If you don't feel like you're doing anything, then you're alone in your thoughts. And if you're alone in your thoughts, thoughts. And we all know where that goes, right? So I'm going to encourage you today. If this has landed on your heart, please message me. I would love to hear that. I'm not the only one, to be quite honest with you. I know I'm not because many of my close friends feel the same way or have at some time in their life. And I want you to know it's okay. All of it's okay. If you feel like you got to be busy, then go for it. Maybe now's not the time for you, and that's okay, too. But for me today, if I'm being really honest with myself, this is what I need to do. And I'm not happy about it because it's way easier to just show up and deflect and not be present with myself. But that doesn't serve anybody any good and it's not sustainable and it doesn't feel as good. And yeah, it doesn't make the impact that I want. So I want to know how this episode landed on your heart. I would love to also know if you message me or you share this. I want to know your Enneagram type and what's been the biggest challenge so far in the quarantine time, whether it's in your relationships, being on lockdown with kids or spouses or partners or by yourself. I'm alone a lot, so I get it.
What you're thinking the future looks like for you, or maybe you don't have any feelings, but I would love to hear how this lands on your heart. If you could screenshot it, share it, DM me, whatever feels good for you. I think the biggest eye opener for me as an enneagram8 who really likes to walk her own path by herself, not needing anybody when I'm not healthy, is to really know that none of us, none of us are meant to walk this alone. Not for one minute. And the only way that we have to walk it alone is if we choose it. And for me today and here, moving forward, I will never choose to walk this life alone again. And I'm going to encourage you not to do the same. Even if you don't reach out to me and DM me or whatever, I'm going to encourage you to find your inner circle too. Because we all are meant to do this life together, even if it's on quarantine through Zoom or, you know, let's use social media and the Internet for something really, really fun. Beautiful. So until next time, this is becoming Bulletproof, and I look forward to seeing you hopefully out in the world here soon.
