Dear Yolanda, what a truly shocking experience for you. Must have been truly awful and like you say very eerie. I’m glad you are away from all that now and it’s so kind of you to make people aware of it and avoid at all costs. I love your unity poem - the world needs so much more of it. More compassion. More acceptance to and for all. Thank you for your profound message. Hugs and blessings, xx

sorry to hear you had that experience with the hacker....that's disturbing to say the least. My husband had a strange experience about six months ago, but not like yours. I also agree 'unity is what we need' thanks for your words this evening, Sara
