Gratitude (August 2009)

First, Justin Stone: How can anyone not have gratitude for this remarkably gifted, intelligent, gentle man. He has given us everything necessary for a fulfilled life, teaching us how to let go and find our real selves. Teaching us that “abandon hope” is the true path to fulfillment. The gratitude in my heart will ever be yours, dear one.
Next, Carmen: Our sister is always there when we need guidance, information, and wonderful teacher instruction. To know her is to feel the radiance of her caring. Carmen and her husband, Brock, have dedicated their lives to making our lives more peaceful by showing us the way. Our cup of gratitude overflows.
Then, Pat Huseby: My teacher, mentor, and friend gave me the basics of what I had been searching for, for many years. Step by step she taught me that through practice of TCC we come to know our true selves, and that since TCC can never be perfected, it brings a process of continual discovery. My gratitude is everlasting.
And of course, my students: Being a TCC teacher has brought much learning into my life. I have come in contact with such a joyous mix of souls. The fulfillment they have given me is way beyond written words. I am grateful for their help in understanding how the body and mind work together.
