The best luck is your spiritual endeavor progress. You can enjoy everything here or everything in your life, but you must progress in your spiritual practice. Because otherwise it is all play here. We must get out by using the secret inside road. I will be waiting for you in your new Home. I hope to see all of you in our New Land because it is not my land, it is yours. It is for you.

I told her I’m very proud of her, very proud of them. This is the way we should live our life. Not wanting what we don’t have, but want what we have.

She always decorated me, put ribbon in my hair, combed my hair, and dressed me up like a princess.
