“I had the pleasure of ordering a course from you last year. It was a wonderful book study on Wayne Dyer’s “Excuses Be Gone” book. I’m a high school math teacher who teaches both upper level honors kids as well as low level freshman, and I noticed that across the board, my students can be excellent excuse makers!“
