HI THERE WHAT GOING ON WITH YOU? I KINDA THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD BE COMMUNICATING WITH ONE ANOTHER I GUESS I WAS WRONG....THANKS OK DOE CUZ I'M GOING TO WRITE YOU THROUGH THE MAIL....:) I HAVE TO GET OUT OF THIS LAZINESS BUT SINCE I'VE BEEN ON-LINE THERE WAS NO NEED TO WRITE THE COMPUTER DOES IT ALL. LOL...I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU ALSO...SMH IT SEEMS LIKE I NEVER GET A RETURN LETTER LOL....WELL LIL BRO I LOVE YOU STAY STRONG AND I'LL BE WRING YOU REALLY, REALLY SOON. YOU PROLLY ALREADY STARTED RECEIVING LETTERS FROM ME BY THE TIME YOU GET THIS OR IF YOU EVEN GET IT........... YOUR SISTER EVA
I got your letter yesterday and will send the addresses you asked for. I am in a bit of a quiet spell at work so I checked for updates to your blog. I have missed all but the first one, I think, so I'm reading some now. I like the poem about love and war very much. Our newsletter always has a poetry page. Would you be interested in submitting this?
Well I see things are never going to get better behind the wall and it really sucks that we have never had the opportunity to not have any time without searches and guards and so forth exactly how little freedom can a man get how many rights can be stripped from him and how much longer can one man pay for something that happened how long ago I don't even remember how much is enough rehabilitation John its your son you have 2 grandchildren that would love the chance to meet someone in their family we are all alone and non existent to cindys family I just wanted to let you know we exist
We have to find liberation in truth, knowledge and forgiveness of our own ignorance. It's not easy when truth is concealed like all these prisoners behind bars. As each one teaches one, we teach ourselves.
I think your dream is very important for a lot of people. Keep working on it, it's not an impossible dream!!
I find your writing very interesting! I hope others do as well. This information is not only good for inmates, it's good for all of us.
I had never heard of "Unconditional Positive Regard" but once you explained it.....it makes perfect sense to me.
We should not be in judgement of anyone! We haven't walked in their shoes. When we judge people we assume that they know right from wrong and can control everything they do, which is not always the case. A lot of what goes on in someones mind, body and soul is "unknown" to us, therefore, what makes us so perfect as to judge their actions. There has to be a reason so many people are in prison, and I fnd it hard to believe that "all" of them know right from wrong but "chose" to do the wrong thing. I'm sure that many inmates would like the opportunity to "change" but "don't know how to go about it"; therefore, your program will give them the direction they want, but didn't know existed.
Many people may do things that we disapprove of, however, as you mentioned in your blog.....we don't have to like them (or what they do) but we can still love them as God (or anyone's higher power) intended.
Good luck to you, and your 12 inmates that are participating in your program!
Company was very good but i think messed up bad was soso i see what your getting at and if you find a few different words and ways to rephrase a few sentences i think that one would be great id love to read it after you revise it though

Just another "human error"
