    Welcome back for Part 3 Listeners! This is our last installment (for now) with Linette Ramos de Soto . Linette is an incredible friend and I know because we have kept in touch for over 5 years, remotely. One has to be "extra" like us to do that! Linette gives some of the best prayers and apparently is the best genetically made as a Puerto Rican (?); We never talk about why, but I think this is a great opportunity for this to be challenged?...:) If you'd like to know why or put in your vote in for the best genetics, please write this show an email. I will be certain to get it to Linette and it will be the start of a whole other Entry. ;) On top of being a book author, Linette's been authoring songs as she is inspired:  Spotify: Here Apple Music: Here Linette's business: Breads and Threads: Here Buy Linette's book: Here Ramblings of a Chicken Lady Love you sooooo much Linette!

    Welcome back for Part 2 of my catch up with my friend Linette Ramos de Soto . We really got rolling in this second half. Linette learns how weird I am and asks the questions that most Christ-followers have, but never ask.  It's a good time and February 17th starts the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse (moving out of the Snake)(Fun "Amy" fact: My first business name idea was "Serpentine Images")... So we're celebrating another New Year here with Part 2. Also, it's the start of Ramadan and the last day before Lent. Lot's of celebration and reflection for many. Perfect atmosphere to meet up with Linette and really get into 2026. Linette is a multifaceted talent. On top of being a book author, she's written some songs and I'd like to direct you all to her albums:  Spotify: Here Apple Music: Here Linette's business: Breads and Threads: Here Buy Linette's book: Here Ramblings of a Chicken Lady This is a 3 part podcast, so come back next week for more catch up with Linette and this show.
