Everything seemed to click into place. I went to McDonald's and while I was ordering, for the first time ever, I got Ma-am'ed on the intercom! The tips, techniques, and work that Peter has done with me thus far has really shown a noticeable improvement, and I cannot even begin to express my gratitude! ... Thank you, Peter, for your kind and gentle spirit, making learning and training so much fun!"
