The past cannot be forgotten

In the mail today I recieved the following letters from volunteers from my book:

I received my copy of the book and the starbucks card-thank you! I have spent the week reading the book then speaking with the advocate at this end who assisted me- we salute you in your effort and celebrate with you, your family, your friends and associates. This is such a valuable book. The processing of events by visual means, certainly a took for everyone, the artist and the spectator. When anyone taking up a pencil or a brush or any means to create that third thing- self-expression O. Words fail me all the time!! Just know how proud we all are0 and of course everyone (also me) would like to get copies…

And…

Joanna,

I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to participate in such an
amazing project. Your book is a truly spectacular achievement! I'm looking
forward to having a chance to read it. I've been showing it off to all my
friends, and they've each been duly impressed.

Not to mention….

Hello Joanna, How are you? I hope this finds you well. I received a package from you including my collage, a gift card to starbucks and a card from you and YOUR BOOK! I was so excited to receive your package! Your book is AMAZING! You did such a fantastic job and what a lot of work! It is excellent and I wanted to thank you so much for the opportunity to participate. Thanks you for choosing to write on this topic and for using real life stories. It was interesting to read all of the stories, although it is sad that rape occurs way too often… thank you for providing a platform to address, discuss and share the reality of it!! THANK YOU JOANNA!!! I wish you all the best as you enjoy motherhood and family life! Take care and many blessings to you. May god bless you richly!!


For someone who has not too much self esteem, for once I feel good about something that has really had an effect on my life.
