"Two years ago today I took Julia’s workshop through the Learning Annex. It was Saint Patrick;s day and my friend Alice and I went. We sat in the first row and I was so moved and inspired by Julia and her experience that I decided to join her Fertile Heart Circle Meetings in New York city. I now have a son Alejandro who is 2 months old today.
