It’s a joy and a special experience to be in your class. Writing the Prayer of Your Life is a holy process. You don’t find writers teaching this way. You know, we talk about the pain, we talk about the journey, but when you put words to it, it becomes holy.” ---Cheri Evans, spiritual healer, Shelburne Falls, MA … [Read more...]
