I think the most evident part is the change in how I look at myself – no longer with disdain, but with appreciation and love. I’ve learned that if I look at myself in a negative fashion, I will draw negativity to me – conversely, if I look at myself in a positive light, I will naturally draw positive responses and outcomes. These positive outcomes are what I desire for my future and I will endeavor to keep that positive light flowing with the tools and knowledge I now possess.
Laura’s life story touched me deeply and made me realize “nothing is impossible”. We can forgive, let go, move on and live a fulfilled loving life. She helped me open up, ask for help and no longer live a secret. Her heart felt, deeply caring support and encouragement will stay with me the rest of my life. She is such an inspiration and helped me see and bring out the best in me. My heart felt mahalo to my incredible beautiful, loving and caring teacher.
