I was speaking to Steven this morning about the first retreat on your island all those years ago…..brought back lots of memories…..nice ones.

It was the beginning of such a change in my life….and you were wise enough to insist on me attending….and thus began my journey to where I am today…..and since I left Steven I have been wondering how one ever thanks a friend for having such a positive impact on their life…..it is a hard thing to do because written and spoken words do not even come close to what one wants to express…..so here I am all of these years later, loving you for being you and providing the environment that led me to where I am today….a much better place then I could ever have imagined….so even tho this “thank you” appears small in print…..it is most heart felt and full of love.
