Katerina Phoenix
Katerina’s voice didn’t match her appearance, so she told me she decided to sound “more like a girl” to make the client more comfortable. She said, “But I felt like I lost my ability to write, to be creative, when I changed my voice to be more feminine.” I’m happy to note here that Katerina took her voice back again. She likes the sound of her voice, thank you very much, and she likes herself, thank you very much. What you read next is authentic Katerina. Thank you. Very much.

Nancy Gaudet
I believe there are times when a higher power, something far bigger than ourselves, is at work in the universe. Once in a while, we are lucky and are in the right place to cross paths with someone special. I realize some might think this sounds crazy, and to a non-believer, probably sounds like a bunch of bullshit.

I really should know better. It happens every year. It shouldn’t catch me by surprise after all this time and yet, somehow, it still creates a lump in my throat, a pit in my stomach, and a little bit of a hole in my heart.
