Looking for Something?




Hello – just spotted this site- I like your style – very pertinent for me, and I will be checking back on a regular basis. My blog is exhausted, but I might do a new one. Looking forward to reading you!
Cheers!
How can your blog be exhausted after all the volunteering you did at the Crisis center? Sometimes it seems like I function like a Crisis center for people around me -although I never reccomend Reiki as a therapy- so perhaps I should get more personal and spill out all the crazy people like to share with me. I have enough material for a book. In any case, don’t be like me and keep them posts coming!
