When she talked about living authentically and some signs that one is not, it really resonated with me. Then when you played Fleetwood Mac at the end singing about “go your own way” I started crying.  Do you know how hard it is to run and cry at the same time? 🙂 Anyway, thanks for doing what you do and shining your light so the rest of us can shine ours” Thanks Phyllis!
