As a result of my CRI Genetics results, I have come to understand why I have never been a Nationalist or a White Supremacist.

What a month! It has been nuts. I’ve been writing a course for a client, plus a workbook that will go along with it, since the middle of last month. So far, I have 124 pages of scripts for the course, which I believe is enough, since there will be exercises and Q&A periods
