thank you Edgard! hat a beautiful energy. I could not follow all you said, but clearly felt your passion and dedication and loved your emphasis on love, fun, joy and working together . I’m starting the day with a big smile. Obrigado!
What an amazing and infectious quality, Thank you Edgard! That adventurous, game loving part of me was jumping up and down as you spoke,but my attention was equally drawn to how often I put the brakes on myself in my engagement both in participation and leadership, so I’m really inspired to stay aware of those self-imposed limitations and change that! FFFF!
Wow ! Could you share videos and links of the game for us to know more
Wow! Thanks Edgar and Kosha. That is the kind of projects and approaches to open hearts and find back into togetherness. Love it. I am already asking myself how to implement it in the village….
