    My heart is full right now. I wasn’t sure what to expect, so I was open. Open to wherever you would take me, and I must say I enjoyed the ride. Sam Cooke “You Send Me” was sung weekly by my parents in the family room. And George Clinton was my older sister favorite song (I have a new appreciation for that song). Getting ready to listen to Episode 2.
