I don’t have kids so … unsure if the kid orientation is temporary? If so, how wonderful they have a great podcast & I wish you the best. You are very gifted. If returning to adult, I will hang around. Thanks for all & blessings. Terrific podcast either way. Not sure why the crossed the line tag is on this. It isn’t... more
