I must admit, I’ve been enamored with Rumi ever since I began my spiritual journey, or took my first step down the cobblestoned road to spirituality.

We bonded, and shared from the heart, and she took me on such a special journey with her stories. I am completely smitten with this interview, how expansive it is, how it makes me feel, and the joy and courage for life I’ve gained from Kalma, from her courage, and for the lessons from Rumi she shares.
