Halina Goldstein says
Thank you Emily! I really admire the depth of your research and experience.
My life has taken me in a different direction. What happened is that along the way what fell in place was an inner connection and that resulted in a sense of belonging in the world and with people in general – including those that I wouldn’t feel connected with previously.
And, I’m so glad that you find a sense belonging in your way – and continue to contribute to this world in your way. Thanks again!
Warmly,
Halina
