Don, this was helpful for me & also good info. to share w/ someone else that I'm working w/. It's so good to see you still in the loop w/ helping people online! I remember you from a couple of decades ago? I think it was when you first started out & some of us were giving testimonies. Praise God for your faithfulness!

And I remember you Donna! So happy to see that you are here. I am excited to learn how to do these live webinars so I can connect and interact with all of you. I have been experimenting with multiple ways of creating a community of people helping each other. My Serenity Cafe and Thawing the Iceberg Courses have grown so much that I feel a need to provide regular, interactive support and encouragement to those who are working through them. :) Thanks for your feedback.

Don, this is great! For years I had hoped you would make videos where we could see you & also have some more interaction. I am more of a visual learner although learning has become better thru the years. I was finally able to find a therapist in 2019 that I could see face to face who who well attuned, well trained in IFS & EMDR, brain spotting, etc. & it was the IFS & EMDR that broke thru a lot of stuff I could not break thru by myself. I am now enjoying drawing simple pictures whether pleasant or of past memories I haven't quite dealt w/ & this is a key for me....dealing w/ my inner child hurts some more & parenting her & moving forward w/ anything else that would be a blessing to me as well as to others. I'm making headway under that iceberg for sure, hahahaha. For sure, the Holy Spirit is my faithful guide & Ps. 32:8 is one of my favorites for life's guidance, instructions & teaching from Him! I finally get it more than ever, how LIFE IS a JOURNEY! :-) I WISH YOU THE BEST ON YOUR JOURNEY,TOO W/ YOUR NEW PLANS!

Don, this will be helpful as we combine with our new owners and learn their systems - have to take a deep breath and keep trying till we're competent. This will help keep perspective. Thanks.
