Dear Carol,
I just finished your book recently...and I have a bruise on my butt from when I fell to the floor; it was truly amazing, you are truly amazing, I absolutely adore you! MY best friend Deanna (Director) and I were talking about how much we both thought you were pure beauty in human form, sent by God; it is also quite humorous that being from psychological family backgrounds, we (Deanna and I) found ourselves opposed to your class on the first day, although I went this year and she went in '04. But then, when we shut ourselves up and opened our minds we realized that you were wonderful...I just thought that was cute. I really did make a lot of progress in your class...something that kills me as a performer is signing...it is something I can do, but for some reason, I hate it. Singing makes me very nervous, and that's a feeling I can't feel very well...so, I tense up, my throat closes, I forget how to breathe, and I feel like I can't go on....however, on that Friday of the retreat during the actor/choreographer/director game, I let go. I became aware of those around me, my breathing, and I used the moment I was in, and the scared pain I was feeling...and I did it, and it felt beautiful. You have such a magical way with people, it's quite amazing. I worked on a lot of "inner" stuff at the retreat and I am glad I did; it is stuff that is going to help me soar in my acting and reach new heights...I will be able to explore new truths and create deeper characters, it will be grand indeed! I look forward to working with you in the future...please keep me posted on all the classes/workshops/ANYTHING you have to offer this year...I am looking at some schools in NYC for the spring term so I am up there quite frequently; please keep me up to date on your upcoming schedule...Every time I see you I learn something new, and that's awesome! I can't wait till our next encounter!
