Dear Susan –
Responsibilities prevented me from doing 4 days, or even 1 day, in a row. Only today have I gotten to Sunday’s sessions, and have finally listened to your mini-retreat. I was blown away by your down-to-earth “translation” of Buddhist pratice and concepts as they relate to fear, and by your ability to apply your experience to participant questions. Your loving kindness enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you!
PS: I would like to subscribe to your newsletter, but am running into problems at sign-up. Any other way to do this?

Kim, this makes me so happy. The dharma has this amazing capacity to make complete sense, on the spot. The deeper you go with it, the more it makes sense. I’m so glad it spoke to you. And I love being told I ROCK!!

I wish you the best with your practice, whatever it is!

Susan,
I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to find the words to thank you properly. You see, EVERYTHING you talked about spoke to me…it was as if I had found what I’ve been searching for all my life. I’m sure that must sound weird but it’s so true. I’ve spent hours reading your blog and experiencing AHA moments over and over. I feel inspired and validated, excited and hopeful.
I think I can sum my feelings up in two words….YOU ROCK!

Susan,
It was so lovely to hear your voice. I like your book, but sometimes the words sink more deeply when I hear the author speak. In this case you touched my heart this morning and I want to thank you.

Susan,

The session today was very beautiful and it was if you were speaking directly to me, about me, and for me. I’ve tried meditation before but not framed in the context you described so I’m determined to practice again . . . thank you for this incredible gift.

Susan, Thank you for the session today. I was very moved by it; still absorbing the wisdom. I’m in an intellectually-thrilling job right now, which I love, but I find it’s taken a toll on my spiritual centering. Your thoughts and ideas today have really shined light on how I can get back there. Thank you, again! Lisa
