A Personal Note:

Now I would like to share with you a bit about my personal life for I feel that it reflects my deep commitment to my path.

After being very concentrated on my calling, I found myself pregnant. Needless to say, my husband and I were elated. After a blessedly uneventful pregnancy, I gave birth to a daughter.
