Teach, Learn, Share

Brigitte: I've been through a lot in this life and I feel very fortunate to be able to teach you about the things I have learned. My misery and pain are lessons and gives me the opportunity to teach you some things in life. I feel blessed because I can do this. We want to share a piece of God on this earth, because God is in everyone's heart. No matter what religion you have. What counts is what you give the world and that you respect and love yourself and everyone around you. Every human being is unique and beautiful as he or she is.
