<I think you meant to send this to the list, Silly Shelly? I have
redirected it there.. Blessings!>
Mystress and Dear Leo..
I deeply thank-you both...right now, in the wonderful synchronicity...Leo's
from the heart reaching out and Mystress's response of been there
wisdom..has helped this struggling bird here this morning too. Very much.
All in Leo's post resonated with much regarding what I am facing currently.
From my heart...A big thank-you to both of you! Hang in there Leo..you are
not alone in this!
Goddess does indeed Provide.
Many Blessings,
G.S.
