Hi Friends,

When I started the journey of creating this project, it started out being very unclear but I just went with the flow as I felt led. It has been interesting learning more about how people are finding meaningful ways to come alive and are seeking to live more fully! Launching this campaign on indiegogo has been an eye opener for me in terms of the suitable approach to take with this project. So for now, I have decided that any money at all raised, will create even if its an e-book or a soft cover guide book to send my message across. I have data and valuable content I have collected and I am beyond excited to release it into the world. So if you support with even just $1, you will be joining me in making an impact.

Thankyou
Adedayo Fashanu
