  1. The Sharing Circle has helped me in so many ways. Just being able to share has changed my mind and my behavior.

    I can not express in words the profound love and gratitude I have for everyone at the Sharing Circle.

    I have been through a lot in my youngest years and the Sharing Circle allowed me a vehicle to be incognito mode and get things off my chest (out my mind), which allowed me to move on in life.

    Thanks for your time and effort in helping out with the Sharing Circle.
