Message Monday: Just Say YES!

By BodhiBlogsNo Comments

A little over three years ago, I attended a Oneness Awakening Course at The Flowering Heart Center in Downers Grove, IL with Kristin Panek when I got a very clear message that I was to go to the Oneness University in India to deepen my relationship with the Divine.
