> “Since I was a young child, I had a vision of everyone in the world all holding hands at the same time. I participated in Hands Across America, but the oceans have come in the way of my vision! Nowadays, I know that Spirit connects us over, under, and through the oceans, through time and space, and beyond, and NVC has become a steady staple in my own spiritual growth. I wish to help others expand their abilities and sense of Self to realize their dreams and to speak their truth wherever they go and wherever they are.”
