Transcription: does not deliver a
series of conversations
"Gretchen, Kelly, Shelley,
Debby, Dana, Lana, Katz...
LaRae Epper... and it
became clear to me.
Deep feelings inside,
prayer talks with God,
and there was no pushing
this rock up the mountain again. And no
inner calling or
compulsion saying it
had to be.
