Thank you for all the comforting and healing podcast hugs. I started listening when I was traveling in Asia in 2017, I live in Vancouver now and I look forward to my weekly dose. I will read that economist lads book. I have learned, I have laughed over the years. I love that at the core your message is peaceful and loving. Thanks lad.
