A TURNING POINT

Luanne,

These classes have been a turning point for me, at this late stage of my life.  I had been content with the life I thought I had chosen for a long time while I raised my children.  Then as they left for college and pursuing their own futures I realized I was left without too much to occupy my time and interests.  I found out also that the man I had been married to for all those years had been a wonderful, secure financial business success, but we had very little in common once the children were grown.  It took a very serious illness and hospitalization (TB) to help me realize the world would go on without me and that physical illness was followed by an equally serious emotional illness, a major depression which was treated with anti-depressants and psychotherapy.

...The program itself, I found quite challenging and indeed impossible at times and then your classes gave me more insights and courage to set my own goals and go for them.  I had a setback--dropped out of the program for and had a second episode of depression, but again with the help of medication and the support of true friends I took the plunge again.  This time I have completed the third semester and I feel very confident I will succeed.  You have openned a lot of thought-provoking doors for me and helped me realize I am the master of my own destiny.  You humor and openness have been a gift.  It is a pleasure to be in your company.

Thanks.
