THE NOISE
Messages from Myself:
After giving birth to my third child the negative noise I heard was there was nothing wrong with my child.
How I responded:
ALWAYS TRUST your own intuitive nature and follow your inner voice, your soul through meditation, prayer and reaching out to a trusted other who will listen to YOUR story.
