Sometimes all we need is to know that we are not alone, and that no matter what your situation is, there is always an olive branch of support out there.

We all know that the times we are living in are hard enough as it is, and we all need that extra push to keep going.

We are hearing that people are suffering with mental health and other traumas related to the impact of COVID. There has never been a better time for a positive outlook on life. Every time I listen to him, I feel that there is a greater purpose not just for me, but for us all.
