As an Indian, I completely understand needing parental approval. Even subconsciously, we so easily give up the things that we love just cuz we know our parents wouldn't approve of it, or at the very least be proud of us. We so want to make our parents proud and be happy when they talk about us in their social circle, that we forget it's making us more and more depressed. Although, realising this itself is a big step towards self love and change. I hope all those kids who feel this way, realise that it's okay if your idea of happiness is different than your parents'. You're allowed to make use of this life in a way that makes you happy because at the end of the day you're doing no one any favor by living a life that you don't love.
I think every culture has a version of this.I felt this way when I was young and even tried to push this on my children. In my late forties my life fell apart. I got divorced and the veil came off. I was devastated at the time…..but luck would have it the Universe knows exactly what you need! It was the best thing to happen to me! My kids were the one thing that kept me going even though they were grown. That event put us on a even playing field and I was able to see my kids for who they are, amazing! Now I try to pass on the good things handed down from generations of just doing what we were taught. I don’t always understand my kids, but I don’t have to. I love them just the way they are and wouldn’t want them to change one thing!
Thank you for writing your experiences and thoughts. It invites us all to reflect. May we all get inspired by the stories the various people share and find our own path through life. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
“I feel the least lonely when I am alone and happy with myself”. SO TRUE to me! Feeling lonely with company is most common than we think and more painful than one can bare. 🙏🏻🌸
I was always wondering if i am normal. I think most people wonder that about themselves. Then my best friend said something that makes sense. He said " Normal is a setting on a Washing machine, so no one is Normal, only unique" 😊
A violinist at Yonge & Dundas subway stn in Toronto once told me that “Once you love music, you can never get lost.” Cannot forget, to this date, what that curly-haired man said.
She is perfectly right ❤ i am lost after my accident and i dont now nothing and i can see more clear whats life is about than before ❤ i can feel now the truth about life and see people with my feelings 🎉 i am my true self now with no concept 😊
Wonderful that her story resonated with you Manuela. We hope you are doing ok after your accident. May there always be words of encouragement for you somewhere. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
To the woman in this video, you hit the nail on the head to my loneliness that I've been feeling for many years "not feeling understood makes us feel lonely". I never realised it, but that is exactly how I often feel and makes total sense, to feel lonely even when sometimes we have people. So, thank you 🙏❤️ you inspired me
Wonderful that her message answered some questions you had Charlie. May her words help you in your every day walk of life. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful. We are so happy to have you with us on our journey. We appreciate each and every person that takes the time to watch our videos. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I absolutely agree with you. Green Renaissance is like "my happy place". So much insight and such profound messages coming from everybody. I love it so much!!
The definition of a trauma bond - seeking validation and healing from the source of the abuse. I imagine it’s more than just difficult in cultures where loyalty to parents is valued above personal well-being. Her expressions are very familiar to me (childhood emotional neglect, or maybe emotional abuse). She’s truly a lovely human being.
If I ever feel lonely, I remember the one who was with me when I was born and will be there when I die. Someone who has been there handling both darkness and light in my life. How about you? Our bodies are a gift where our soul resides. How we choose to care for ourselves and sharing what we can is always key. Thank you for introducing this young lady. She is articulate, beautiful and on her own interesting journey. Wishing her well.
It is so true! We need to be alone and create our life knowing that we are all connected. It becomes easy when we love and accept ourselves totally. We are love!
Spoken from the heart of a hero….who found herself… accepting her standard… her worth… if we could all embrace this… what a bright, safe, world 🌍 we could live in… In Gods realm there is no distinction… however I found when I really discovered His love for me… everything within became a wave 🌊 of peace… She’s a beautiful soul…. Blessings upon her.. Ty again for another powerful share.. 🤗♥️🦋🙏😎
When you show us the common threads running through so many different cultures, I am so grateful. Thank-you, once again, Green Renaissance, for bringing us a beautiful story.
It's an absolute pleasure to share these videos with you. Glad you find it interesting to see a thread running through the various cultures - in some way or another we are all connected. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
“Do something completely unfamiliar and go on your own. That’s the only way you can discover a little bit of who you are inside...when you are out of your comfort zone. If you putting yourself in a new situation, you are forced to react. You are forced to bring out parts of yourself , you didn’t know you had. And there’s no way that someone who is lost puts themselves in a situation like that and doesn’t discover who they are. “ ❤🥺✨ Really thankful for your sharing, this such a very beautiful and meaningful. THANK YOU SO MUCH🙏🏽😊
Il più bel video introspettivo che ho visto fino ad oggi!rispecchia tutte le mie problematiche e ricerca di me stessa,che continua anche alla mia età di 72 anni e continuerà fino alla fine.Graxie per la condivisione speciale e bellissima!🙏👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You are very welcome Ombretta. That's so wonderful that her message spoke to you so deeply. May you find inspiration in what Kelly shared and discover more and more about yourself. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Today, I called my mom and told her about the difficulties I’m going through and I told her how disconnected I feel in some of my current circumstances of life, especially work, tired of not being able to express myself as I am, my quirks and creativity etc and as I was listening to her telling me something about Kant’s philosophy on choosing your path and constantly evolving and taking full responsibility on your impact here on Earth….I suddenly realised I actually called her to hear ‘’yeah, but you can try this or that and it’s okay if it doesn’t work out” and then it finally sunk in that I don’t need her permission to live as I wish to live anymore and any path I take is a good path. I was given this permission already, the moment I was born, by god. I can’t imagine how challenging it was for Kelly to keep true to herself, especially in a culture that celebrates conformity and parental guidance through every step of life is seen as inevitable.Thank you for showing that it is possible. I keep going back to this video.
Very interesting what you are sharing, thank you. Glad you were able to talk to your mom about it and so much fell into place. Wonderful that Kelly's message meant so much to you. Wishing you all the best and sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Inorder to make others happy, we aren't honest to ourselves. From wearing clothes to future decisions, we need sometimes direct or indirect approval from everybody except us ....She is someone who is innocent and honest to herself..... Living the life she wants 🫶 Thank you Green Renaissance 💚 for your wonderful and mesmerising video 💚💚💚Love you from Nepal 🇳🇵
What I love about your videos is that they show human beings in that most human of tasks - making sense of. Joining the dots is as old as the human who studied the stars long enough to place them into constellations, giving meaning as we cycle through the seasons. It is an honour and a privilege to be let into the private investigation each person is making into their own very personal world. Their contribution enriches and includes us in the common human experience
Such lovely thoughts. Thank you for your encouraging message. We are very thankful to all the people that allow us into their lives. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for such an honest, relatable & beautiful video! Accepting fluidity and not feeling that we have to be 'one thing' is so liberating. Since finding out that I am autistic (at 33), I finally dare to just head out with childlike curiosity and wonder - instead of limiting myself to fear of what people will think. I am so grateful for this life and so full of love! 💚
Wonderful that her message spoke to you so much. Enjoy being out and about, discovering new things. We wish you all the best for the journey ahead. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
A big thank you from the bottom of my ❤ for sharing with us your strength and courage when revealing your vulnerability. Coming from an Asian background, I truly understand what it means to “ be validated by our parents” and it’s in our blood passing down from one generation to the next! Only when we dare to walk the uncharted territory , when we travel around, and find out how others are living their lives freely and happily without the validation process, we will ultimately seek new answers to reconnect with our older generations and to somehow bond again! When that moment happens, we will feel less lonely in this world of incoherent social media. May you be blessed with finding your own path and become the Change Agent for many other young Singaporeans and around the world. P|S I truly love your refreshing hairstyle: freedom of expression, creative in its own unique ways like emerald sparkling ocean waves
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, views and and explanations, very interesting to read. Glad her story spoke to you Anrieu. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
You are so welcome, we are glad that we can share these videos with you. Thanks so much for your contribution towards our project, it means such a lot to us. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful work of art this video is! Kelly has such a pretty and unique style and deep insight. The journey of love is between each one of us and ourselves. So happy that Kelly chose to take it and honour her divine uniqueness so that we can all appreciate it too!
What a lovely young lady… so articulate… so much insight… The world need more young people like her to make it a better place❣️ Thank you Green Renaissance for another beautiful and inspirational video❣️
Loved Kelly and her way of expressing herself. The cinematography is superb and I enjoyed the snippets of life in Singapore. The dancers at the end filled me with joy and I wanted to be there with them and to be that free. Thanks again. Another winner.
Kelly. Self awareness is a gift...trust me. The progression of understanding ourselves on a journey. Bringing deeper meaning. The struggle makes that deeper meaning fruitful.❤
Thank you for mentioning this Linda, so glad this helps you. You can also set it to the speed that works for you under 'Settings (the wheel button) - Playback Speed'. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
She has much to love herself for!!! Love her aesthetics and her gift for self- reflection! The cinematography was impeccable! I am now inspired to go to Singapore!
Thank you for your beautiful words. Wonderful that this video inspired you to travel to Singapore. Whenever you do, have a wonderful and enriching time. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I feel your new video is made... And when I come here, I see it... Thank you.. You make me feel I am not alone in this strangeness. I live in Russia and I wish more people would see and translate your pure messages of heart❤
You are welcome, and thank you for your kind words. Wonderful that you feel understood and not alone when you visit our channel. Sending warm hugs to you in Russia, Justine and Michael. 💚
Every time when i watch your video, i feel like... everyone has their own unique beauty, and that makes me feel safe being myself. Yes, i am just... okay.
Brilliant. what a share this is, very nice and simple, very delicate, yet like a sharp pinch to wake one up, It's right in front, still can't see. beautiful, thank you
this is so spot on I completely get it with the approval i grew up in a home always needing it and not getting it as we get older we have to work on our self and find our own approval easier said then done but I my self always working on it and being with just me I like who I am thank you for this video great message
It's quite a struggle when your young to feel different, but as I've grown older these testing feelings disappear. The saying 'grow old disgracefully' has a freedom and joy. As long as you're kind and love, oh and having a dog. I'm not sure if I heard it on one of your videos 'be the person your dog thinks you are' ❤
She is profoundly wise, and I agree that getting more lost...we will find parts of ourselves we did not exist! Needing parental approval and others' approval seem to be bc our inner needs for connections... Thank you for sharing!
Queria muito agradecer, de coração, a quem torna possível que estes videos tão maravilhosos sejam vistos em Português, e em todas as outras línguas legendadas meus sinceros agradecimentos a todos vcs! E para vcs que estão produzindo estas pérolas tão maravilhosas que são estes videos, Meus Sinceros Agradecimentos!😊❤
You are welcome Eduardo, your words touch us. It is an absolute pleasure to share these videos with you, glad they mean so much to you. We are so thankful to all our volunteers that assist us with the translations and subtitles in the various languages so that more people around the world can follow the stories. And we thank by Sibylle Steinpass and Lucivani Valvassori that were assisting us with the Portuguese subtitles for this video. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you Kelly , Justine and Micheal ! The end was so powerful in that slow motion underscoring the whole store of this film ! Internal vs.external, personal vs public, Individual vs. collective. ? World is a stage , are we actors or spectators ? Does it matter ? HPL to ALL !
Life is a great history in our life, doesnot matter the place, the country, the age...we need to pass through beyond this pass...and the human being is sometimes so complex...each one fight your own fight, but there will be always a fight, a internal fight...🤛🤜❤
Myself, yourself, self, self, seeeeeellllfffff!!!! Just live truly, face facts, however heavy the social pressure is. The self is just a maze of memories and just a bundle of past and conflicts. Once faced, there is no self anymore to focus on. The world is huge, help others: let’s get over ourselves!
So happy you enjoyed the video. Yes, we have a lot of similarities, no matter where we come from. Somehow we are all connected. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
so many of your videos expose in real, grounded, human experience the fallacy of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. There are so many people in your films that demonstrate clearly that self realization is available regardless of any other needs being met. What most of us think of as adequate living conditions and satisfying social relationships as prerequisites for self realization, some folks just go right by those and find the home of their heart and soul. Thank you for putting that message in front of me so consistently.
Thank you for sharing these thoughts John, how much these videos mean to you. We are so happy that we can share these stories with you, glad to have you with us on our journey. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
"Not understood..." She is correct on that point of it being the seed of loneliness. Beautiful videography in this---so colorful! Thank you. I saved this one. Grandma Ellen, waving and blowing a kiss.
This rings very true for me. But it's my natural state. I grew up a military brat, so I was always the new kid. I was never meek, never trying to fit in. I'm 71 and my life is a long series of getting lost again. Huge career changes, relationships came and went. Big learning curves. Moving to the woods at 53. My latest venture out of my comfort zone is learning piano from scratch with a creative improvisation coach, like Zen & the art of piano. He's like the best therapist ever, unblocking my discomfort. Thanks for filming this unusual woman!
Thank you for sharing your experiences, what a journey. Wonderful that Kelly's story resonated so much with you. Keep on venturing and discovering. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
She is so lovely... Finding yourself is a life mission, but once you accept yourself for who you are its becomes easier, and to love yourself more. It starts to fall into place like puzzle pieces as you get older. Approach yourself with the same kindness and compassion as you would others. Live life as well as you can.
Well put. ❤ We don't really talk and listen to each other and that is why we don't feel understood. We have forgotten to talk about stuff that matters.
The stories are filled with so much courage, honesty and depth and interwoven with exploration and imploration of color, art, lifestyle makes it interesting and inspiring to watch all the episodes.
Thank you for these kind and encouraging words, it means so much to us. We hope to share many more inspiring videos. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
It is lovely to listen to Kelly and the point she makes about moving forward into unknown territory is perfectly right according to my experience. You don’t even have to leave the house sometimes to accomplish that, but ‚simply‘ go out of your own way for longer than just a few minutes. What I really wanted to say is something else: I so much appreciate the capture of Singapore. I never cared to know and now I see, what a dreamlike quality it appears to have. Thank you Green Renaissance for making wonder palpable ❤
Perfect timing once again! This is such an empowering, eye-opening film that is just so beautifully shot throughout. I recently have been thinking about how "lost" many of us are, including myself. Kelly's words are more than words spoken; they are truths that apply to each and every one of us no matter where we are on our journeys. Thank you Green Renaissance for sharing this wonderful film! ❤
It's a pleasure to share this video with you Evelyn. So glad that he message was so meaningful to you and that the video came at the right time. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

True true true 👍
@richasjournal Very beautifully said 😢❤ I needed to hear this today. Thank you my friend. 🙏🏽
I think every culture has a version of this.I felt this way when I was young and even tried to push this on my children. In my late forties my life fell apart. I got divorced and the veil came off. I was devastated at the time…..but luck would have it the Universe knows exactly what you need! It was the best thing to happen to me! My kids were the one thing that kept me going even though they were grown. That event put us on a even playing field and I was able to see my kids for who they are, amazing!

Spoken from the heart of a hero….who found herself… accepting her standard… her worth… if we could all embrace this… what a bright, safe, world 🌍 we could live in…
In Gods realm there is no distinction… however I found when I really discovered His love for me… everything within became a wave 🌊 of peace…
She’s a beautiful soul….
Blessings upon her..

Today, I called my mom and told her about the difficulties I’m going through and I told her how disconnected I feel in some of my current circumstances of life, especially work, tired of not being able to express myself as I am, my quirks and creativity etc and as I was listening to her telling me something about Kant’s philosophy on choosing your path and constantly evolving and taking full responsibility on your impact here on Earth….I suddenly realised I actually called her to hear ‘’yeah, but you can try this or that and it’s okay if it doesn’t work out” and then it finally sunk in that I don’t need her permission to live as I wish to live anymore and any path I take is a good path.

Great video, I appreciate the advice to get lost and out of our comfort zone. The introspection of listening to ourselves is very important.
So glad her message resonated with you Jeremy. Thank you for watching. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

This is so beautiful. Thank you .
You are most welcome. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
this is so spot on I completely get it with the approval i grew up in a home always needing it and not getting it as we get older we have to work on our self and find our own approval easier said then done but I my self always working on it and being with just me I like who I am thank you for this video great message
Wonderful that her message resonated with you Robin. May her words encourage you on your walk through life. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
It's quite a struggle when your young to feel different, but as I've grown older these testing feelings disappear. The saying 'grow old disgracefully' has a freedom and joy. As long as you're kind and love, oh and having a dog. I'm not sure if I heard it on one of your videos 'be the person your dog thinks you are' ❤
Thank you for your encouraging message Sarah. Glad these questions vanished as you grew older. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I did not want it to end. 💙 thank you for an other inspiring video. and the cinematography is just absolutely astonishing. ❤️

Simple. Beautiful. Thought- provoking. Thank you 🙏.
It's a pleasure Shaun. We are glad you enjoyed the message she shared. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
She is profoundly wise, and I agree that getting more lost...we will find parts of ourselves we did not exist!
Needing parental approval and others' approval seem to be bc our inner needs for connections...
Thank you for sharing!
You are welcome Paulina. We are glad her message spoke to you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

Thank you kindly. Glad you enjoyed the story. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you Kelly , Justine and Micheal ! The end was so powerful in that slow motion underscoring the whole store of this film ! Internal vs.external, personal vs public, Individual vs. collective. ? World is a stage , are we actors or spectators ? Does it matter ? HPL to ALL !
You are welcome Eddy, glad this story spoke to you. Lots of thoughts each of us can ponder on. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you always 😊
It's a pleasure, glad we can share these stories with you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Life is a great history in our life, doesnot matter the place, the country, the age...we need to pass through beyond this pass...and the human being is sometimes so complex...each one fight your own fight, but there will be always a fight, a internal fight...🤛🤜❤
Thank you for sharing these thoughts Alice. Something we can ponder on. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
The dancing and foot tapping sequence sums up the essence of life. There is music packed in us. We just need to get up and dance. ❤
Beautiful. Glad those scenes were so special to you. Yes, music is a marvellous tool. May we feel inspired. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful comment. I so wanted to be there with them. The music is alive and the body is movement. Thanks for sharing
When ever you upload a video I just think... thank God

You are welcome, we hope her message can help and inspire you. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Myself, yourself, self, self, seeeeeellllfffff!!!! Just live truly, face facts, however heavy the social pressure is. The self is just a maze of memories and just a bundle of past and conflicts. Once faced, there is no self anymore to focus on. The world is huge, help others: let’s get over ourselves!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and views. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Absolutely joyous to watch/listen to/get inspired from this! One of the best videos so far! Big thanks!
You are most welcome. So happy that you enjoyed it so much. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
It’s nice watching things like this and realizing how similar us as people are!
So happy you enjoyed the video. Yes, we have a lot of similarities, no matter where we come from. Somehow we are all connected. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
She’s incredible! ❤️
Glad you enjoyed the video so much Kirsten. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

Wished these videos were longer! There is so much wisdom in these stories that is worth sharing.

So beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing such beautiful people with us!
Our pleasure Shannon! We are so glad you enjoyed the various videos. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Really love the message.
We are very happy her words spoke to you Natalie. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
so many of your videos expose in real, grounded, human experience the fallacy of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. There are so many people in your films that demonstrate clearly that self realization is available regardless of any other needs being met. What most of us think of as adequate living conditions and satisfying social relationships as prerequisites for self realization, some folks just go right by those and find the home of their heart and soul. Thank you for putting that message in front of me so consistently.
Thank you for sharing these thoughts John, how much these videos mean to you. We are so happy that we can share these stories with you, glad to have you with us on our journey. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
You are a very wise , beautiful person Kelly. A deep thinker. 🤗
We are glad her message spoke to you Linda. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
"Not understood..." She is correct on that point of it being the seed of loneliness. Beautiful videography in this---so colorful!
Thank you. I saved this one. Grandma Ellen, waving and blowing a kiss.
Nice to read that you enjoyed this video so much. Thank you for your encouraging words. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
It completely resonates with me when she says, "When outside and inside becomes one".
Lovely. Glad these words meant much to you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
This channel has been a blessing. Am able to understand myself through relatable videos. Am going through a good transformation. Thank you
You are absolutely welcome. Glad the various videos are such a help to you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
You changed my life. Thank you. You are beautiful.
Thank you for your kind message. Glad the video was so meaningful. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
This rings very true for me. But it's my natural state. I grew up a military brat, so I was always the new kid. I was never meek, never trying to fit in. I'm 71 and my life is a long series of getting lost again. Huge career changes, relationships came and went. Big learning curves. Moving to the woods at 53. My latest venture out of my comfort zone is learning piano from scratch with a creative improvisation coach, like Zen & the art of piano. He's like the best therapist ever, unblocking my discomfort. Thanks for filming this unusual woman!
Thank you for sharing your experiences, what a journey. Wonderful that Kelly's story resonated so much with you. Keep on venturing and discovering. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
She is so lovely... Finding yourself is a life mission, but once you accept yourself for who you are its becomes easier, and to love yourself more. It starts to fall into place like puzzle pieces as you get older. Approach yourself with the same kindness and compassion as you would others. Live life as well as you can.
Thank you for your kind and encouraging message Marthina. Lovely. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Well put. ❤ We don't really talk and listen to each other and that is why we don't feel understood. We have forgotten to talk about stuff that matters.
Thank you. So happy her message resonated with you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
thanks for sharing, nobody should conform to 'normal' we are all unique and that would be praised - be yourself, there's only one like you
You are welcome. Thank you for writing these words as a reminder for us all. Yes, we are all unique, so true. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I love your videos. They always elicit a profound reflection on me.
Wonderful, we are so happy that they mean so much to you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
... a strong, interesting, beautiful person...
So glad her message spoke to you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Much wisdom from such a young person ❤
💚
The stories are filled with so much courage, honesty and depth and interwoven with exploration and imploration of color, art, lifestyle makes it interesting and inspiring to watch all the episodes.
Thank you for these kind and encouraging words, it means so much to us. We hope to share many more inspiring videos. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
It is lovely to listen to Kelly and the point she makes about moving forward into unknown territory is perfectly right according to my experience. You don’t even have to leave the house sometimes to accomplish that, but ‚simply‘ go out of your own way for longer than just a few minutes.
What I really wanted to say is something else: I so much appreciate the capture of Singapore. I never cared to know and now I see, what a dreamlike quality it appears to have. Thank you Green Renaissance for making wonder palpable ❤
What a refreshing and inspiring message, thank you. So glad you enjoy the various videos from Singapore. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Perfect timing once again! This is such an empowering, eye-opening film that is just so beautifully shot throughout. I recently have been thinking about how "lost" many of us are, including myself. Kelly's words are more than words spoken; they are truths that apply to each and every one of us no matter where we are on our journeys. Thank you Green Renaissance for sharing this wonderful film! ❤
It's a pleasure to share this video with you Evelyn. So glad that he message was so meaningful to you and that the video came at the right time. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
much love to this wonderful human being ❤️☀️🤗
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed her story. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
