HE had a story for sure and I was recently very saddened to hear that he died a few years ago. He made a huge impression on my life. Such a good, kind man. Such a very strong man. <br />And well- it would appear that the juju is upon you. Is that okay to say? I know it's not magic. It's YOU. But in some ways, your process is magic and I love that you can depend on it and are learning to trust it more and more. <br />Such a beautiful post.
