Note from Stacey: I met Lance two years ago when he left a thoughtful comment to one of my guest posts at Christine Kane’s blog and he has graced my blog with his comments many times as well. I also consider him a champion of WAYA – he frequently contributes and almost always tweets about it. I am honored to know him and delighted that he took me up on my encouragement to write a guest post today. You can read more about Lance below.
“Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.” ~ Gary Zukav
A sacred place. Gentle music. Dimmed lights. Candle-lit.
A service of healing, for all who want it. Deeply. And for whatever healing that might mean.
This was the third such service like this I had been a part of. This one, though – different. Different, as I would be in the role of “healer”…listening to people’s petitions, needs, wants, desires. And then – lift those up to a Higher Source.
Is there training for this position? Does a “healer” have to know anything special, do anything special? Did I really know at all what to do?
Perhaps the training had been on the job training from the first two sessions. Two sessions where I was fully involved, except not in this role of “healer”.
So…I listened.
Perhaps listening is most important. Perhaps really hearing what another soul is saying…not just the spoken words, words from deep within. Words spoken with the eyes. Words spoken from the heart. Words spoken with tears, words spoken with a smile. Words that are real.
It was a beautiful experience.
It was not about knowing what the right things were to say. It was not about being some sort of expert on any of this.
It was all about being fully in that moment…listening, caring.
And then … being open to the words that came from my soul.
What a truly moving experience. Words from me. Yet, much more than that. A complete focus on that moment, that soul, there with me. Our spirits locked together by human touch. A gift from the Divine.
Maybe it all seems a bit “out there”. Touch-feely. It’s not like any of this offers any physical healing, any noticeable healing.
Healing of the soul.
Disease. Pain. Strained relations. Family challenges. Suffered friendships. Lost jobs. Financial difficulties. Death.
The stuff that seems big.
Courage. Show love. Embrace the moments. Wisdom. Fears. Loneliness.
The stuff that’s harder to fully quantify.
Where are you at on this? Is there healing that you could use?
I have done this three times, this service of healing. Each time I’m moved to not only play an active role in the healing process, even more than that – to be on the receiving end of this healing gift.
To have hands placed on me. To share openly. And then to allow the healing process to begin anew, through that healing touch of another.
Perhaps we can all use a some healing in our lives.
Wherever we are in our life. Whatever we are doing. Perhaps it’s something very specific. Or maybe something more general. When we are open to going deeper within ourselves, to seeing this bigger need for healing, always…
LOVE, in action.
Does anything really change? Am I really any different because I’ve been “healed”? Or does this just seem like some “feel good” moment, only to be quickly forgotten once I’ve left this sacred place?
I can only speak from my personal experience. And in that…I believe deeply that there truly is a healing taking place. I am changed. Maybe it doesn’t cure some disease overnight. Or mend a broken relationship the next day. Or give me that boost of courage I need to stand up for something I believe later that evening. Perhaps it’s much deeper than any of this. Perhaps that healing starts at a soul level. And in that, we experience a deeper wholeness with ourselves.
May each of you find a deep sense of peace within…
Lance Ekum started writing two years ago, after thinking about some of those things that he’d never done…that were floating around in his heart. Today he writes at the Jungle of Life. The site has transformed over time, today with a focus very much around seeing the inspiration that is all around us in our world.

Hi Stacey,
It is truly an honor to be here in this space today. What you have created feels so filled with peace and love – and this deeply personal piece I’ve shared feels so fitting to be in this space you have created.
As I continue this journey through life, I continue to be drawn into just how deeply we are all connected to love, and how healing love is.
Much peace and love,
Lance
Hi Lance!
Thanks again for your lovely essay! I think your message that listening is at the crux of creating healing and experiencing love is SO important. You expressed it beautifully.
Your essay also reminds me of a quote from Paul Tillich, “The first duty of love is to listen.” – which is always good to remember. Thanks again and much love to you! Stacey
Lance,
What a beautiful thing! Yes you are a healer and I believe anyone of us has inside of us what it takes. We just need to get rid of the stuff that covers up our own potential.
Often we focus only on healing the physical. The truth is when we heal the spirit the physical will either get healed or not…on a higher level the physical doesn’t matter.
I’ve been in prisons as a counselor, worked as a coach and a volunteer in traumatic times. I witnessed my love and caring heal others emotionally and on a spiritual level. Other times I only planted seeds for someone else to water and grow and bring forth the healing.
I believe a loving presence is all it takes to heal someone, a degree or specific certification is a bonus but not worth much without love. Love stands alone. Love heals. Love is all we need. When we discover it in ourselves we become a channel for others.
One can be alone and sent healing to others mentally or telepathically…with love…love heals…you’ve been used for a higher purpose…keep it up the world needs you!
Hi Tess,
“Love is all we need.” — that’s so well said. Love truly makes a difference, on a deep level. What you have given of yourself shines through here…and what a gift that has been to those you’ve touched!
“What a truly moving experience. Words from me. Yet, much more than that. A complete focus on that moment, that soul, there with me. Our spirits locked together by human touch. A gift from the Divine…
LOVE, in action.”
Thank you for sharing this experience Lance. It really speaks to me.. as each day passes I realize that to be completely there – fully present with an individual is so important. It seems that the whole world is in such a rush that it really takes deliberate intent to be fully present. I love what Tess said above… “you’ve been used for a higher purpose…keep it up the world needs you!” It’s TRUE!
Hi Cindi,
You know…that was really such a big part of this. In that moment, without other distractions – being fully present with another person really touched upon how, when we do this, what a gift our presence is. And…this can really happen anywhere…when we allow ourselves to be fully in that moment we are in. Wonderful thoughts, thank you Cindi.
It is amazing how multi-layered each of us is, how it’s possible that you can know many things about a person and still be surprised by them. This is how I felt upon reading this post and your sharing, Lance, about your role as healed and healer in these beautiful services: I did not know this about you. Yet … it fits.
There is something truly miraculous about the fact that we can be conduits of love, grace, healing, and mercy to one another. What power that is! But, I must admit, I forget this all too often, forget that I could be healing to someone else instead of the stumbling block it’s so much easier to be.
Because I was reared in a mainline Christan denomination, I often still find my spirituality most predominantly shaped by these leanings. Yet, I am influenced by many other religions and spiritualities, as well. The more I learn, the more I convinced that, if Jesus were real, the utmost core of his message would be that we don’t have to stop waiting for ANYONE to arrive: we are already God’s hands and feet and face in the world. And as soon as we realize this, and the power given to us to be healers and lovers and forgivers, etc., the sooner there can be a heaven on earth.
Hi Carla,
(I’m smiling!) Your words, as always, mean much to me.
We can always be this gift to others…if we are open to really making that deeper heart connection. Sometimes that might seem messy, or like it’s taking too long, or whatever. Still – when we do (and I’m guilty of this, too – of being that stumbling block) – I believe we also provide healing for ourselves in that process. And that’s a wonderful thing – when two people are touched by this. So – yes, we can be God’s hands and feet out in this world…and in that – we all have the beautiful gift of healing within us.
Hi! “Midwife For Your Life” is such a thughtful concept and blog title!
I’ve been a Lance fan for a while now too. He’s pretty special, indeed. A healer in many ways and purveyor of only positive things.
I do believe love heals and promotes all things, as Tess points out — it stands alone. And always will. It heals us to help heal others. And sometimes being listened to is all a person needs — that is love in action.
Happy day, all!
Happy day!!!
xo
Hi Jannie,
I’ve been a Jannie-fan for a while!! (and you are wonderfully sweet…thank you!)
Love can come in many forms. And when it’s present – it’s a beautiful gift. And so healing. The beauty of this service of healing really was in the listening – without judgment – to another being. And in that, I felt a complete shift in myself, and in the compassion in my heart. And through all of that – there was a deep healing for me…just from being present in that moment.
Love in action…keep shining that, dear friend…
Hi Lance, (and nice to meet you Stacey),
Ahh Lance – you know I believe love IS all there is. Being in the moment, feeling the God in us and in everyone and everything around us is healing and such a wonderful place to live from.
It has been wonderful to watch your journey Lance and it always makes me smile to read your words.. so poignant, so authentic, so thought provoking.
In living our life from love we do such a great service to honoring our souls and to everyone around us. We ARE all healers and feeling love deeply in our hearts and being is truly where it begins.
Thank you for this – a wonderful way to begin the day!
Much Love,
Jenny
Hi Jenny,
I know very much how LOVE is just a part of your being…always! It’s such a beautiful thing! And in my experiencing that love of yours…you have also given to me a deep healing. More than that, though, by your living LOVE – that just makes it that much easier for me to do that – seeing your beautiful example of this, always, in your life.
We are all definitely healers. To the degree to which we open up to love is to the degree we can take that healing to an even more meaningful level.
Jenny, thank you, for being beautiful LOVE in this world! It is so good to have you here today.
Much love always,
Lance
Hi, Stacey, it’s so nice to meet you. I can see why Lance has been a visitor for so long.
Lance, your experiences were lovely, and obviously quite moving. Whenever an event occurs to open our eyes just a bit wider, seeing/feeling/sensing/understanding more deeply than we had just a moment ago…well, that’s nothing short of sacred.
We’re on the same wavelength in speaking of Love and the transformation of healing. You know I don’t plug my blog in comments, but the synchronicity of both our posts is simply remarkable. We explain the same concept, just using different words; yours are shared through a specific experience and mine offered in the form of practiced theory.
Once felt, this deeply as you’ve expressed here, something fundamental shifts inside—-and we’re never the same, again. To know you, Lance, is to know this shift had already happened long ago; you were just, perhaps, needing a tangible experience to show it to yourself.
Love you, you Love Giver, you.
~ Julie
Hi Julie,
So good to have you here, sweet friend. Yes, this was truly one of those moments which I would describe as sacred. And I just LOVE (hey, there’s that word!) the synchronicity between what you’ve written and this! LOVE…from a deep spot within…shared…really is such a special moment. Being in this moment, Julie, it really was transformative.
Much love to you, always, dear one…
Lance
Lance, what a wonderful experience — the laying on of hands and healing — which you’ve shared with all of us. Thank you! I’ve had healings like this, and in the beginning, I felt funny about it. Mostly because I come from a family history where touching, emotions, etc. are hidden. Hearts are for pumping blood, not feeling. I’ve had to teach myself about love, and it’s only really blossomed in me recently as I continue to surround myself with more and more people who are purely love. They have no fear of it, and keep no distance from it… They express love freely to me, and in doing so, teach me how to express love freely.
I do believe that love heals all, and I do think that love changes us at a cellular level. Just like fear also changes us. But love overrides fear, so I say we should all do as much loving and healing as we can. It needn’t be formal, either. Just this morning, I was lying in bed and sent waves of loving energy to a handful of people. All it takes is an intention, and the ripple effect from that one loving intention can change people forever.
On that note, much love to you, Lance, and Stacey – thank you for featuring Lance. You have a wonderful blog here!
Hi Megan,
The laying on of hands is something that CAN feel a bit weird. I remember another moment, really – the first time I remember something like this happening. And it did feel weird at first…and then there was a shift to something much more connecting…a connection to these other souls. And in that, I felt a warmth, and a peace in “being me”.
Megan, as I read this – I can only think about how I see you truly as LOVE. So, maybe you haven’t always been at this spot…I do want you to know, though, that you shine from a beautiful place of love today. And just knowing you, and the gift of love you give so freely…this has been healing for me. Your beautiful energy is felt always…
Big hugs and sweet love to you, wonderful friend…
Hello to all the Lance Fans!!!
I am SO honored and delighted that you have come to the MfYL blog to continue this wonderful conversation!
The Dalai Lama said, “My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.” How lovely that we all worship at the same church.
Thank you again, to all of you, for gracing Lance’s post, and this blog, with your presence!!! Much love, S
Stacey,
Kindness is a thing we can all embrace…and when we do…what a LOVING place to BE. The Dalai Lama was definitely onto something with that thought!!
You have truly created a space that allows love and kindness to flow…
Love always,
Lance
The service of healing that you are referring to sounds beautiful. I know that so many people were blessed to have you as the healer during that experience.
Hi Stacey,
This service of healing really was beautiful. And much of that was in how openly people shared from their hearts, with the knowing that their words mattered, and their souls would be touched by grace.
Stacey, it’s so good to see you here today. Much love to you and your family…
Hi Lance and Stacey:
Lance, thanks for sharing this moving post. I especially like what you said about listening…because in a world with so much chatter and so many conversations (especially on cell phones everywhere) sometimes I think all we want (as humans) is for someone to listen and really hear us. It sounds like you are well onto this path and it was very cool to get a sense of what you felt. Stacey, it looks like you have some really good stuff here on your blog….thanks for sharing the space here.
Hi Tim,
As I read what you’ve written, it really has me thinking more deeply about this idea of “listening” and what that really means. It can be so easy to be distracted by everything we have in life (that’s supposed to make our lives easier). As people shared deep parts of themselves, this was also listening with an open heart…open to their needs. And in that, the beauty was the connection I felt to each….in deep ways. So, so moving.
Thanks so much for being here Tim. Your support is wonderful…
Hey Lance! What a powerful post, thank you so much for sharing something so personal. I’m happy that you found healing!
It doesn’t surprise me at all that you held the role of healer. It suits you. I picture you to be an excellent listener. Sometimes, that’s the most important thing, to feel heard!
It doesn’t surprise me, but yet, you never cease to amaze me!
Hugs to you my friend!!!
Natalia
Hi Natalia,
This whole experience was more personal than I expected it to be – and in such a good way. Am I a good listener? I think that sometimes I get it right…and other times, I miss the boat on that one. This evening service was very much a focus on listening, and in that – I think I also came away with an even better personal understanding of what really listening can mean.
Natalia, you are a sweet and wonderful friend. Thank you so much for everything…
Big hugs and much love….
Hi Stacey and Lance –
Very thoughtful. Love is divine and when we love something we do for a living with passion that becomes just the task for us. It is not only about the bread and butter but what you love doing with passion.
Cheers,
Cheryl
Hi Cheryl,
Passion is a good word here. And that’s something I take away from each of these services I’ve been involved in – that all who are involved, and all who are there – really are filled with a deep passion for wanting to be in this space. And in that, LOVE is supreme…
Stacey,
Thank you for inviting Lance into your blog and healing space — he fits ohh so well! You have a great message here, nice to meet you.
Lance,
You are a healer, this I know. As I read your words this AM, my heart knows how true your words speak.
Love to you, my friend.
(P.S. You’ll crush your long run this weekend!)
Hi Lori,
So wonderful to have you here, dear and caring friend. Healing is an interesting thing – and it just feels like it comes on many levels. With LOVE, that healing really feels like it touches the soul. Lori, I feel that from you, always. Your soul has touched mine…and I’m better because of that.
(now….hmmm….I should really rest up for that run!!)
Love always,
Lance
Hi Lance and Stacey!
I loved reading about this. I am very much into the healing perspective, but this was one side that I never really thought about in quite this way before. I think we’re often the ones needing healing, but it’s amazing what can happen when we switch the tables a little.
Great stuff!
Hi Nathalie,
So great to see you! Yes, I do think we can all use healing. I’ve really come to feel that over the last year or so – and in accepting that, what I’ve found is how deeply LOVE plays a role in that. And it’s such a wonderful feeling…
Would love to hear more about what healing means to you sometime.
Big hugs!
Healing of the spirit seems to me to be the most important kind of healing. If your spirit is whole, then what else really matters. The others either fall into place or to me, it would be ok if they didn’t. I would much rather die with a healed spirit and a broken body than with a broken spirit.
You are a gifted healer Lance. You even heal across cyberspace.
Hi Laurie,
Healing of the spirit…that “something” deeper within us. I love that thought, Laurie – that by healing the spirit we ARE whole…no matter what else is going on. I just sense a real peace that would be possible, when we work from the inside out. Such wonderful thoughts, and so good to have you here today. Much love to you, sweet friend…
Wow! I’m blown away by all the lovely responses to Lance’s essay! Of course, it doesn’t surprise me that Lance has such an awesome tribe – it just delights me! Thank you SO much everyone for creating this delight *and* sharing it! Much love to you all! s
Hi Lance and Stacey.
Better late than never. How you experienced this healing looks to me like totally connecting with everything, people, yourself, the source, with ‘all that is’ really. All is one really, and as All is Love, you become Love.
Oh Lance, this is really what we live for, isn’t it? NOT walt disney world, not material wealth or a career, but this kind of travelling into ourselves, into the core, into the Love that we are. That is coming home, that is healing from the separateness that make us sick, lonely, unhappy and gives our ego a chance to be so overpowering.
Lance, this is beautiful, this is healing, this is it. Much love to both of you, xox Wilma
Hi Wilma,
It is wonderful to have you here! As I read this, I am just deeply connecting with your words about “all is one”. That is something I believe very much. And also – something I felt at an even deeper level during the healing service. With each person I was with…it just completely felt like this – like we were one, in that moment. It was a very special time for me – being allowed into that special space, being trusted, and being present to that moment.
Yes, when we live for LOVE, life feels beautifully “right”. Wilma, thank you for your caring words today…they have landed upon my heart.
Much love to you, dear friend…
Hi Wilma!
I’m so glad you made it – it’s never too late to join this party! I love how you wrote about how it really is all about connecting with ‘all that is’ – and we really are all connected. Lance’s essay is such a lovely testament to that! Thanks again for joining us! Much love to you! s
Hi Lance and Stacey .. Cornish lady! – well hubby was!
I found a healer for my mother – she does Reiki, yoga (we can’t), she’s spiritual and does healing & I cannot tell you what a boon it’s been to my mother particularly – but she’s helped me through some difficult patches – and in due course I’ll work with her too – to learn more.
Her healing skills are quite extraordinary & she’s so gentle and in the now .. calm and serene .. gosh we’re so lucky to have found her – she’s like a 2nd daughter to my Ma .. and a sister to me – she’s been very supportive – & oh yes – she’s a trained paediatric nurse, who looked after babies with Aids as she saw them on their way .. so her skills are amazing.
Good to read this .. and see you both here .. love the yellow side bars – like sunshine! Have good weekends .. Hilary
Hi Hilary!
It’s SO lovely to see you here! And it’s delightful that you remember my Cornish background – but it is very much my own (down from my father) and not my hubby’s (he’s of mostly Scottish descent).
Thank you for sharing such a lovely tribute to the extraordinary healer in your life and it will be wonderful to hear more about your experiences with her. (You could share them as a guest post here!)
And thanks, too, for your kind words for the “look” of my blog – yes, the idea was to capture the color of sunshine!
Thanks, again, for bringing so much of your light and warmth to this blog! Much love, s
Hi Hilary,
What a wonderful gift for your mother, in the hands of this healer! “In the now”….how important that is. It really is so good when we can be completely focused on NOW. And I can really tell how much she means to both you and your mother. That’s wonderful!! Thanks so much for sharing all of this! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Lance,
I love that you are embracing Love so fully that you now use it to heal. You’ve tapped into Faith, Love, Hope, and are using that to be so absolutely present that you are an instrument of healing to others. In words on yorur blog and in deed in your life, and now in healing services. Beautiful. Absolutely! All possiible because you allowed your heart to open fully even to that which you do not understand…you just allow Spirit to flow through you and use your gifts to impact others.
My heart is thrilled that you are also comfortable receiving healing. That requires trust and a certain vulnerability, so it fantastic that you participate in the entire service!
Thank *you* Lance for sharing this side of yourself that you only hint at in your comments….
You are awe-some indeed!!!!
Hi Joy,
Something you’ve touched on here is the vulnerability in opening up. And that is so true – it has definitely felt that way (being on the receiving end of the healing). Yet, I’ve found that in this setting that is LOVE, the vulnerability is really something just in my head. And when I move beyond that, the healing gift is so, so worth it.
The other thing you touched upon was this idea of letting Spirit flow. And this is what I feel has been the most profound part of all of this, for me….that in the role of healer…I have very much felt like the words I speak come from me, yet they are not just me. It’s hard to fully describe – except that it’s beautiful and moving for me. And it also really makes this belief in Source so much for deep and personal for me, too.
Joy, thank you so much. Your words mean so much to me. You have an amazing gift of being Light in this world, and I feel that very much at this moment.
Peace and love to you,
Lance
Hi Joy!
I’m also so glad that you touched on the vulnerability aspect of giving and receiving healing. I think that is why Lance’s message – not just in this post, but in his whole life – resonates so deeply with so many people.
He is willing to share his struggles with love and authenticity and he encourages others to do the same. I know I can *always* count on him to cheer me along when I am sharing something that I am struggling with and it has meant so much to me!
So, thank you again, Lance, and Lance’s dear friends, for continuing this conversation – it means the world to me! Much love, s
Hi Stacey and Lance .. thanks so much for your thoughtful replies .. & Stacey yes – I’d love to a guest post sometime .. let me get myself into gear – a lot of difficult things (other than my Ma) going on here .. but that would be wonderful – & give me an opportunity to put my thoughts over. I’ve let J know your site and thoughts – so I’ll chat to her .. and work something up.
Particularly appropriate as my mother is Cornish & still has a flat just outside Penzance overlooking St Michael’s Mount and the Bay ..
I’ll get my act into gear .. and be in touch .. it will be good to get this side of my writing going – an opportunity to share with everyone ..
Thank you – have fun weekends .. sunny here = bliss! Hilary
Hi again, Hilary!
I’m so glad you are considering a guest post! Really, anyone who is reading Lance’s post and these comments, if they resonate with you, then we want you to write for this blog! Just check out the “Write for Us” tab at the top of the blog and you’ll get guidelines.
And, Hilary, when you send me your post, could you attach a picture of the view from your mum’s flat? My Cornish genes are delighted by the prospect! xxoo, s
Hi Stacey – will do .. but don’t have an actual view – but I’ll be doing a post on Penzance shortly .. if I remember amongst all the other posts I want to do .. for myself ..
I’ve started getting out ‘stuff’ for yours .. so that shouldn’t be too difficult ..
Bye for now – enjoy the rest of the weekend .. Mum and I watched the Paris Open Ladies final .. it’s good to have something she enjoys .. we only do the four basic channels! .. and anyway can’t stand tv morning noon and night .. Hilary
Hi again, Hilary!
Thanks so much for checking back in and relating your appreciation about the shared pleasure of watching the Paris Open with your mum! I love sharing simple pleasures with my family! We’re on vacation this week and playing a lot of board games and cards! Much love, Stacey
Hi Stacey,
It’s a real pleasure to meet you and to find these lovely words from Lance. As you already know, he’s a real angel.
Hi Lance,
You don’t know this, but you’re often on my mind. I’ve watched you blog from nearly the beginning, and the way you listen to those who comment on your blog as well as the comments you leave on other blogs plus on Twitter and Facebook, has shown me how you truly care about others. It’s no wonder you have the following you do.
Having said that, in my heart I KNEW your mission here on Earth was more than just being a great blogger (+ all you are in real life). My heart kept telling me, “Lance has a gift. A gift to touch other lives. A gift which could change the life of others. A gift of showing love and compassion. A gift which draws others in”. Now that I’ve read about your healing experiences, I feel you have found your calling. The lives you touch will never be the same, just as mine changed when I “met” you. You are truly a remarkable person.
Blessings to you always, my friend.
Hi Barbara,
As I read your words today, I am especially touched by all of this. You have been such a wonderful supporter, ever since the beginning. It has been a complete honor to get to know you. Barbara, that’s what makes today even more special for me – is you, and how I’ve really come to know you over the last couple of years.
Honestly, what you have said above is just so moving for me. I’m humbled by all of this. Barbara, I’m not sure that “thank you” is enough. Just know that I am deeply touched by your caring and sincerity.
Much love to you, always, wonderful friend…
Hi Barbara!
Thanks so much for your kind note! It’s lovely to hear that you have followed Lance’s blog from the beginning and have always known him to be so thoughtful and caring. I’m delighted that so many of us in the “blogosphere” appreciate Lance’s many rare and special gifts! Much love to you, s
Hi Stacey
It is a pleasure to “meet you” and discover your beautiful site!
Hello Lance
The words you used here, the experience you describe goes such a long way. There is depth and lessons within this for all of us, and I can only imagine what this beautiful experience truly felt like for you within.
The most important thing that moved me here is exactly as you mention – the healing or the gift of actually listening and hearing someone. Sometimes that is all we need, and all it takes to move a soul, to soften a heart, to make a connection…
I am really happy for you from my heart for having this experience and I am sure there will be many more as you continue to touch people’s lives in amazing ways.
Hi Evita,
That was really it…the deep feeling I had inside, of how this experience was healing for me, just in being in this space. It really felt like such an honor to “be” in this sacred moment with another soul…to have them speak openly…and then for me to offer some lifting up of their petition. With each person – this just felt like such a special place.
And listening, yes – that is where it really started. In being completely open to hear, with no judgment or bias – to just listen with care. Such a beautiful moment…
Evita, know that it is so good having you here – as I always feel that this idea of “healing” is something you hold special to you, too. Much love to you, always, wonderful friend…
Hi Evita!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I continue to be so delighted by the positive response to Lance’s post! It is so encouraging and inspiring to hear that people are so moved by his simple, yet profound, message that we all benefit when we truly listen to each other. Much love to you! s
