“I went in [to Reon’s presentation] consumed with some personal issues that have been weighing me down. I left in peace, with gratitude, and inspired.” Pearl Wright, Salt Lake City, UT

"Listened to you speak tonight in Tulsa and am completely inspired. May God Bless You!"--Ashley Rose Rausch, YPO Tulsa

“[After Reon’s presentation] I now understand that
forgiveness is the only way a person can get on with life and have peace. I had many years of struggles with my daughter during her teenage years. This past year (her 20th) she has turned the corner for the better, but I continued to hold on to the anger and frustration I had experienced during those dark years.

Upon my return home this past week, I told her that I forgive her, and I want the new year to be a fresh start for both of us. I am truly amazed at how happy I now feel toward her and also feel much lighter because I am no longer carrying that burden on my shoulders. “ --Laurie Martin, Irvine, CA
