You have been such an inspiration and have given me so much,  I am eternally grateful to have you in my life.  I just wanted to share with you a couple of the practical tidbits I've gotten from you - one is saying "isn't that interesting?" when something happens that I don't understand, like or particularly want to have in my life.  It really is a less judgmental, more accepting way of dealing with things.  I didn't mean it when I first started saying it, but now I find I mean it more and more -- it really is interesting the way some things/people work!  The other little tidbit is the notion of "try it for 2 weeks as an experiment."  I not only apply this to myself, but it's been something I've been able to share with my elementary school students.  You are an amazing, beautiful person; thank you again for being part of my life.
