A very humble thank you to you Luna, Randy, Stef & Liane.

I'm very glad you enjoyed....even gladder to have found it again and to be able to share with you all.

I had my exam friday and was waiting with bated breath for the mailman to deliver the results of my third assignment before I left home to go and sit the test... to no avail. But when I got home, there it was! 95%!!

I'm very proud and wanted to share my joy with you all! I feel as though the test went quite well, will probably get marked down on one or two things, but still feeling confident nonetheless.

Lara, thank you for the lovely posts - Awaken is beautiful, and hi again to you Kanta, long time sister! Hope you are well.

, I'm sending lots of love and light to your cousin and pray for his recovery.

Love and Light to you all my wonderful family!

Rhonda
