This lit up my morning. I am so grateful to God for the way the algorithm worked today. I cannot make it to your next in-person class, as much as I’d love to. Alas, I am in Utah! But I gave you a follow and cannot wait for my next meditation session or errand to run, to plug into your channel again!
