LOVE LOVE LOVE

I will listen to this many more times and renewed my Audible subscription so I could.
I feel like I've met Andrea everywhere.
Her words stick with me like lint to a pair of black slacks. Her frequency is addictive and I simply must have more.
Love you Sister, Like no other. Peace2u's ALWAYS. xoxo

Chicken-soup for the soul!

I found it healing my tattered soul, with every word uttered. It's nice to know a kindred spirit exists.
