Congratulations. Your gift of a new day is here. Ready to live it big? You're listening to the Big Life

well, after a little bit of time, I got used to her pep and i was okay

we do have some reviews on iTunes that um say that i'm i'm jarring that my excitement for life is

jarring but y'all when you recognize what a miracle it is you get to wake up to a new day of life that you're still

here, you can't help but be crazy excited to just be alive today. And I can't hide that. I can't
