Hello Kiddos! This is your friend, M.C. It's 76 degrees here @ home, so I figured I would go for a stroll. I just listened to your latest podcast, Finding Paradise In Nevis. My thoughts: You have excellent chemistry. Cleveland, you can be 💯 in taking care of yourself (even if you "sometimes" (once in a while) don't eat healthy but you need sleep! Besides getting fresh air, that is why I went for a stroll. I figured it might help with my getting a good nights sleep. Let stress over any thing. Give your worries to the Lord. Lindsay, please drive safely. I like you, would want to drive myself, even if I were only going 10-miles an hour. That right hand steering business is scary but I know you'll take your time. You got this, girl. You got this. I shared your miracle story on Easter with my family and also have told my friends. We all agree, God used you as an instrument. There truly is a reason for every good and not so good thing that happens to us. Wear socks. Don't laugh, but my feet get sunburned on the beach. Socks help! LOL! Enjoy the rest of your stay in paradise and stay safe. 🙏 ❌🅾️❌
