Maria bella, it was so much fun to see you and practice together... I told you, you inspire me so much, my class last night was so alive and real. I got the best compliment us teachers can get after a class, this guy who I know has been going through a lot in his life and his relationship gave me a hug and told me simply: "thank you, I feel better." That's it, just knowing that we have the ability to help someone else feel better, what a gift! Thank you for the way you always do that for me and so many others. <3
