    You have said much at a young age to reflect a wisdom that frames up this reflective process, communing with our own spirit, that guides us in our unique and unfolding way. Thank you for sharing.

    I am so happy to learn that there are more Bahais who understand that God is there, every moment, every time, and that answers DO come! Yes to guided meditation! Yes to the law of attraction, but most of all, Yes to remember who you are and what your real goals are.
    Thank you so much Melody for this talk.
