Oof, the complexity of the Chinese language! But I can see it - myself!

This was awesome - I loved the theme of “authentic intelligence” and independent thinking.

This is high praise from one of the most important people on Substack! I wish that I had enough time for all of your live shows, but I'm just spread so thin with all of my business interests. I don't know how you are able to do as much as you do! Thank you for the great recommendation, it means a lot to me. 👍🌞🙏

Thank you, Claire, you always say the sweetest things, and that means a lot. I hope your Independence Day went absolutely swell. If you didn't venture off the property, you probably never knew it passed without a calendar since you live in the great void of Eastern Oregon.!
