Hello Richard 🙂 Thank you very much for contacting me, and taking the time to listen to my music. I really like your blog. I resonate with what you are doing on many levels. For one thing, I think Reiki is wonderful. I also applaud your song-writing – I especially liked the clip of ‘Once Upon a Time Where the Sky is Free’ 🙂 – and I really appreciate the way you are using your blog to put your good intentions you are putting out into the universe. And your word list – above – is also particularly heartening. Thank you for putting your positive energies out into the universe 🙂
