Such a wonderful and much needed course to have present on the Insight timer app! Thank you, Helen!🙏🏼✨💖 Haven’t gotten the chance to share with you yet, that I adopted a puppy from the shelter six weeks ago! She’s a lab mix and is adjusting well. How cool is it that one of the points to use with pets is my favorite human point… the hand on the forehead!😃 I appreciate all you do here for us! 🤗💕
