Wayne and I would like to take an opportunity to thank you for the wonderful support materials that we've gotten from your company. We've been photographers for six years and have had our art in mostly galleries and art shows. Recently we have started sending our art to advertisers, magazines and stock agencies. The Writer's Journal just published one of our photos on the cover of their magazine for their January and February issue. We framed the magazine and put it on our wall.
As I was looking at it this morning, I started to think about the sources of support that I've gotten over the years that contributed to me being able to have the confidence to stay with photography. Your books and recordings have been one of those sources. As I get grayer and grayer, it's more important for me to give thanks to God and to those others who have influenced me in a good way in my life.
We have dedicated the cover of the magazine to our little dog Ginger who was recently diagnosed with an enlarged heart. The vet does not know how much longer she has to live, but with the heart medication we could have her with us for awhile longer. This little dog with the big heart has also been such an inspiration to me and to my husband. Your materials on grieving has helped me to grieve and to start my process in coming to terms with Ginger's illness. I have gotten so much permission to feel from your books and recordings.
A while ago I had written an affirmation script about grieving and hoped unrealistically that I would never have to use it. Now, since the loss of our beloved Ginger, those affirmations, your recordings, and some other good people and connections, are helping us to get through this. We've also been listening to your marriage recordings more lately to help us be by each other's side more during this trying time.
We will be sure to recommend you to anyone we meet who needs a good and caring counselor.
