I received an email which included the following.
“First off, congratulations! What an undertaking. It must be the most unimaginable experience to share your story with the world. But what an extraordinary journey, a life less ordinary for sure. I’m sure the feedback has been pouring in, and that must be so incredibly gratifying.
In my daily yoga practice, our teacher often instructs the mantra for us to choose “the Universe is working for you, not against you.” It is a choice, right? To believe that, even when life hands you the most difficult and unexpected circumstances? I’m so struck by your conscious choices – to oppose that first adoption, to assimilate and accept your new life in the US, to go after your dream job against the odds, to commit to a loving and close relationship with your sister no matter what, to believe that you can create the life you dream of. Even as a very young person, you had a fortitude and “inner knowing” that seems to have served you well throughout your life. And, seemingly, you have been rewarded with joy and gratitude for the life you did consciously create. How inspiring.”
