The LBS grows and would not give up their hard-earned lessons and wisdom, even if they could.
Be patient. I believe your gratitude is there. Starting. Shinning. You’re just working on understanding it. Perfectly normal. I mean, grateful?!? Really?!? After all this? Yes! You can be. You are! It’s ok to be so.
