  1. As always, such interesting info! The self defense ideas were very helpful! Since I’m headed toward 80 years old my next birthday, I would have to use my loudest screaming voice instead of my body‼️ In this session, Laurel told the story, that has been told to her by me, about the time she was almost abducted!! It was the most frightening event of my life, and I did RUN toward the man screaming at top of my lungs, “Stop that man!!! He’s got my baby!!!” Thanks be to God, the outcome was a good one♥️
    Being very aware of your surroundings was certainly sound advice that y’all discussed‼️ That’s so important in every situation!
    Ashley and Laurel, keep up your good work!!!
