Dear FM,

I had a great time. Thanks for encouraging me to go. The architectural tour was fantastic. I have decided to not let my friend's irresponsibility regarding my kiddo upset me. He's fine, and I will be more proactive in the future ith what I want to happen when I'm away.

I read a thread about violent mothers, name calling, etc.,and I did not get triggered. I thought back to the name calling, knives, and rifle, etc that are a big part of my past, and am fine with it. It didn't even bother me to recreate the scenes in my head while i was reading. I remember when I use to deny having a mother, and a father for that matter, and you forced me to deal with them in session. So glad I did, because I accept my mother as she is, and can love and appreciate her because she is my mother. I even found a wonderful Mom's day card for her, for you too. No more night mares, no more sleepiness nights. Just love in my heart. Didn't need to forgive, because none of it is forgivable - just let go.

Also, thank you for reading the thread on core beliefs, and reassuring me it ain't so. That you wouldn't be in the business if you believed that way. I trust you, and believe you in this. Who's beliefs are those? Not mine. They were instilled in me when I had no say. Now I know I have a say, and you and me are working on changing them. FM, you do have a magic wand.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
