You changed my life

There is so much I want to say, and a simple email does not seem enough to truly express the depth of gratitude I feel in my heart. Nonetheless, you two deserve to know how the Possibilities Seminar shook my foundations and truly marked a new stage of my life. 

I continue to deepen my relationships with family and friends in new ways. My parents and I are resolving issues that we have avoided for years, as if it is just casual breakfast conversation. My girlfriend and I feel more open with each other and our heart-to-intimacy has been taken to a new level. My closest friends are trusting me to help facilitate a conversation to save their five year relationship, because they feel that I can truly empathize with both of them. The most incredible change of all? I feel more present. Halle-freaking-lujah. 

The rumbles of the engine when taking a Lyft to work, the blue of the sky, the dull ache in my back, the oppressive monotony of the office air conditioning, the beauty in a stranger's voice - I notice it all. Thank you for leading me to the door of tranquility. I want to keep pressing forward, but for now, I am just appreciating how sweet it is to live right now!

Michael and Michelle - please accept my deepest gratitude and affection. You changed my life. May strength and fortune be with you as you continue to fight the good fight. Until our next meeting... 

Your friend, 

Austin Lee
