      I'm making my pledge for two reasons. First, to help the Institute for Circlework achieve its fundraising goal and continue its good work. The second is to honor my cousin, Ilana Ehrmann, a member of Circlework, whose strength against any obstacle, dedication to good causes, and zest for life is an inspiration.

      We need heart connection as much as we need food, water and shelter! Circle work will help make this connection possible and turn adversaries in to peaceful allies!! It has changed my life!
