"I got your book (Let Your Light Shine Through), which was so informative. Working through the chapters took time, but it was well worth it. The diet chapter was the most difficult, but once I got onto the right foods, my energy got a lot better. This shows how it does not matter how slow you are in the race, as long as you finish the race. Without you there providing me strategies and hope, there would not be much help." - Wendy
