[Thespiritexpress] Info for the Ukiah Reading Sept. 25th

[balldinger]

What a great reading last night, Toni! Your words and your voice hold wide open spaces with deep sincerity. Serenity,  peace of mind, and nature's flow naturally follow. That is, until you choose to shift gears, changing your tune down stream with any topic you select, bringing light, love, and awareness, to this listener. Your abilities to weave word, voice and vision is a gift that you freely give to this community of seekers and seers with immense benefits to one and all. What an honor to attend and listen last night. My heart is still warm with your poetry today. Thank you.Much love and many blessings to you...~ EdSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
