Compassion and a Van
Shalom Lori,
The innocence of a little one is precious. I cracked up when I heard you tell the story and say "van." Your video clip very much touched my heart. Please continue to share stories.
Warmly,
Aleyda Hoskins

Your Courage to be Yourself
Shalom, Lori,
I deeply appreciate your courage to be who you naturally are, and to voice your passion to live and speak and act with God's presence always near and within you. Thank you for your encouragement and faith.
I also hope that you are generous with our non-human relations, and that you give to environmental groups working to save our last forests. The whole Earth is the Garden of Eden, and we are the stewards. The Earth is God's gift to us.
I hope you bring this subject up in future video
messages.
Thank you for your being. God continue to bless you and your family.
Blessed be and Shalom,
Lori Sweet

very inspiring message
I know Hashem is up there and all around and I daven to Him very day, but actually naming Him like that makes for a much closer connection which I am always searching for.
May you always feel the warm love and protection of Hashem's presence.
I love Lori. Thank you for an inspiring wake up call.

God"s Name
That was beautiful. Thankyou for reminding us how important it is to show God how much we love Him by addressing Him by name.
