Excerpt* from a recent email:
... I would like to take the time to give a sincere thank you.
I was on the internet looking for some tools and resources to enhance my brother's experience at the West Central Juvenile Rehab Center in Troy. My thought was that if I could educate myself on what the juveniles go through, that perhaps I could be a positive role model for my brother, not just someone that he could receive letters and the occasional less-than-an-hour visit from once a week.
I wanted to do some research on things that I could write him about to help him through this time in his life. I came across a newspaper article about meditation that you offer to the juveniles.
I just wanted to say thanks for all that you do, and all that you put into the juveniles. It really does mean a lot and I'm sure to them its a blessing ... maybe in disguise to some of them, but I believe it's truly a blessing.
I really believe that you're making an impact and I will definitely be writing my brother about your meditation tactics and hopefully from them, he can manage to find a moment of peace while going through his journey.
Again, I just wanted to say thank you ... please dont stop believing in today's youth. I know first-hand how much they really need someone to just love and believe in them. I'm sure my brother and others alike would love to have you as a positive influence in their lives.
Thanks again!
