Wise, Positive and Encouraging
Ladies, thanks so much for your empathetic and gentle, yet motivating, messages. I especially appreciated the recent episode on letting go of young adult children- so important but so hard to do! Your in-law advice was excellent, too. I subscribed and am looking forward to listening more.
Perfect Message and Timing
