Dear Marla,
I truly commend you on the time and effort that you put into the planning and facilitation of this past weekend. It was wonderful! My eyes were opened by the diversity I saw. Some of the things that stood out for me was how nice all of the little things were.........from the flowers to the gifts to the CD to the affirmation cards. All of those things must have been very time consuming but were helpful in setting the mood and the tone. I loved the facility and the food. I am in awe of the load so many women carry. I am in awe of how everyone deals with their own burdens. THANK YOU for taking the time and devoting your energy to helping others. I am certain that every woman there walked away with something to use for the future.

Namaste..............
Lisa Z.

PS: The CD was awesome!

Pretty sure that  all would agree the weekend was far more than what we anticipated.  All of us came out with a new found attitude and spirit that was always within us.  Just needed to be awakened through the magical guidance that Marla provided us with.
