Danette and Mina are happy to be back recording after a full few months of "life" getting in the way.  This topic of Grace stemmed from being grateful to our listeners for having grace and patience with us through the challenges of finding the life space to record together. And the conversation goes deeper as we share stories about the importance of having grace with ourselves as well as others.
