In February of 20 22 I was in a Zone session and mr. Ross was one of the guests I asked a question and he said that was a good question and I enjoyed his response his energy and his presentation

And because of this book and me being a a writer also of poetry I wrote a companion piece called what Delights you Delights me so he is very inspiring

I wonder if Ross is still writing about delights. I think if we could do that through these crazy times, we might feel a little better about what's going on around us.
