Dear Monica:

I am touched. I felt goosebumps as I read your last line, I still do. This is indeed a precious gift. Thank you so very much. I highly value your gift.

Everything that you wrote is Reality. Excellent thinking.

There is something I need to leave you with before I take my 17 hour break (give or take) from the computer. You may feel calm and clear right now, when you posted the above, but a change in thinking and feelings, such drastic change doesn’t happen without an… earthquake of sorts. It takes the brain time to adjust to such new understanding. You are likely to feel distressed but please, do not be alarmed.

Distressed is an unavoidable, unpreventable part of new understandings and healing. It cannot be otherwise. Let the distress be when it happens. Remind yourself it is the brain’s shock when it understand things in a very different way than before. Be patient with the process.

Again, thank you so very much for this wonderful, special gift, Monica.
