Posted 2:07pm September 30th, 2009What an indredible woman, and wise soul she was, Ms. Ruth. Although I just discovered her, and she is now passed on to another realm, we are all still connected via God, and I am grateful to be able to listen to and watch her speak the words of wisdom she left all of us her in her wonderful blogs !! What a blessing !!

Posted 9:55pm August 6th, 2008I saw a feature on Growing Bolder about Ms. Ruth, and I meant to go back to it, so that I could write to her. I missed a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you for keeping her vlogs for us to view.
