Jodi! Congrats on getting your book out there. I loved the book. I love this concept. Michael White was such a genius and your execution of this concept is awesome. I love all of the examples you give because they make the ideas so much easier to understand. And I really love (I know I’m saying that a lot) the part about recognizing the abuse of power and what it means to want to have control. That was so well explained, I really liked it.
I can’t wait for the (paper and ink) book! You are so good at this! The people who find you are so very lucky.
See you soon,
Peggy

I read it all. I loved it. It gave me Hope, not necessarily a hope of a change in my life, but a hope that I can still find a purpose.
If I try to look back at my life, as far as I can go back, I had always loved to listen to people’s issues and problems, whether they were school mates or adults, people i know or i meet for the first time, I used to talk to them dividing the problem in a way it looked different and simple. It has always been my passion, and the number of persons still calling me for help is huge, and I love that.
I wanted to study psychology at university, encouraged by everyone who ever talked to me and exposed a problem, but my parents refused. I had to chose another field that I didn’t like.
You said in one Blog post this week that it’s nice to have feedback from your clients. I feel the same when I get feedback from friends I managed to help, but I never trusted myself. I mean I have always felt they were just being nice. I never believed I could make a difference.
Reading the e-Book today, was like giving me a confirmation that it is never too late, that i can still follow my passion! And why not? maybe go back to university and do what I love doing.
Thank you very much Jodi. You have once again lit a bright candle in my dark daily life. Whether I will do it or not, I don’t know, but at least I have a purpose I can aim to.
Thank you for being who you are, and doing what you do. Your gift is a priceless one I will always treasure: hope.
