Stacy,

Thank you so much, I’m so excited about all of this and so grateful to you for your help. I’m looking forward to exploring some of these resources and will definitely volunteer to help others see this remarkable truth.

See you around!

Steve

Sounds good!

Hi Stacy,

You know, something about my answer to that question felt a little off. Thanks for picking up on it!

Steve

Hi Stacy,

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm very excited about this, and I appreciate your help and time!

I have one quick question, and please let me know if this is ok - a while back, I scheduled some time to speak with one of the LU guides via video chat (Ilana), and that's coming up later ...
