I absolutely love your voice. I’m so calm. I did the course all day. I couldn’t stop listening to it, but I couldn’t journal or connect with the community as it hit the core. I’ve been very emotional all day many tears so many wonderful teachings here I will listen to the next time I wait many times we will journal to connect with the community. Absolutely wonderful gift
