Re: intro message -- Chris

[Guest guest]

Dear

Thank you sooo much for sharing your experience with The Work and how

it has helped you. You may want to share your experience with

via email (katie@...). It always blesses my heart everytime

someone else's story matches mine! :-)

You said: " Question - I'm a computer programmer and I find it hard to

stay in freedom when I am tired or have had a late night. And the

next day I slip up, get angry or frustrated with things. "

**Here is a thought! Think of these times as number 6's. In other

words, " I look forward to getting angry or frustrated with things " .

And seeing these as opportunities for doing more Work Sheets. Also,

it appears to me that what I resist will tend to persist. Like, I am

making it appear real!

Merry Christmas, Steve D.
