2014-08-14 05:30:50 The best person to carry this on and spread around the world. Health-wise we are not doing well, especially in terms of how we treat our soules and how they are treated by the rest of the world. The sudden death of Robin Williams is not a singularity. There are many, too many other cases that people prefer to die rather than facing their lifes. Psychologically, we live at the brink, in a precarious state -- the north of the globe more than the South --> psychological brinkmanship!
2014-08-14 09:48:56 Satu is sharp, deep and savvy.
2014-08-14 13:36:04 Satu has what we need when communicating: a clear message, and courage to share it.
2014-08-30 09:54:04 Apart from being a great health advocate, Satu is also one of the nicest people I know.
