Dearest Carmen,

I woke up before dawn and had a hard time going back to sleep.

In that time of day I get a lot of thoughts that just come up and one of them was that I never said an official “thank you” for the way you helped me change my life, so THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for the creativity and the understanding.

Thank you for your ability accept me without judgment.

Thank you for showing me, for the first time in my life, how to be me.

Thank you for showing me that being me is all right and will not lead to any disaster.

It’s important for me that you know that the process we did keeps working all the time and that I really learned to let go. Even my husband says I’m an improved model of myself J

I learned that if my brain can be negative all the time then it also has the ability to be positive only it never knew that. So I keep training it to be positive.

I also learned that my system is in stress when I think about good things happening to me, so I practice looking at it in a more general, less personal sense and it helps me accept the good without stress.

I found some photos of positive things that I look at when the negative thoughts come up and I feel that slowly they are getting weaker and weaker, they are disappearing.

I learned so much from you, about people, about parenting about being a mother and about just being. That is a great gift for me.

So thank you!! and thank you again!!

Love you so much.
