dear katie,

have you realised the self?

love, g

What happened to the truth?

I facilitated two women last week and they are free from their problem. One of them was abandoned by her husband 16 months ago. She is left with baby twins, about 8 months each. She was married some three… Continue

Dearest Katie,



About two years ago I read Loving What Is and began my Work journey, this never ending internal life.
