P.S. Thank you to all who reached out while the show was on an unplanned break. My health took me by surprise, but it's getting better every day. Thanks for the love! I won't leave you hanging again. In fact, I'm strategizing to make future episodes as a just-in-case we hit health bumps in the road again. You are amazing, Tribe! All my love to you!
