I didn't really
know what I was getting into when I went to my first Breakthrough course.
Now that I have attended the class 12 times I can still say each and
every time I never know what I am getting into! I LOVE BreakThrough,
it's like getting a deep tissue massage from the inside out.
In Oct of 2008 I went to the first Breakthrough class offered in Hong Kong.
I had to laugh when I read Terryann's article recently on the website
because I knew she was referring to me when she mentioned, "in another class
two students, who were teachers of another course, brought out the heavy artillery
to prove they were right" well, that was me! In fact I almost killed her
that weekend I was so dense and defensive. God bless her for not throwing
up her hands and giving up on me as a lost cause.
I remember it all so vividly. Of course my name was the first one drawn
from the hat. My story was about a rift that had developed between my oldest
friend in Hong Kong and me. We hadn't spoken for 3 years. She was
the kind of friend I would have taken a bullet for; the type you entrust with
your children when you go out of town; the first call you make when your heart
is breaking or when the world looks perfect and you just want to share the
joy. I loved her to pieces, and yet
the unimaginable had occurred; we hadn't spoken for three years AND it didn't
matter how much I loved her, there was no way to get beyond the rift.
Every time I had picked up the phone to mend the fence, words weren't
there for me and I put it back down again.
Through the magic of BreakThrough and Terryann's talented hands she maneuvered
me through the Steps, slaying all my defenses and self righteousness, and I got
to the point where I could see this entire story from a perspective I had never
had before. The next day I was at the grocery store and LITERALLY ran
into my friend in the vegetable section. She told me how much
she missed me and wanted to know if we could get together. If I hadn't
done this work I would likely have hidden behind the fruit display and
pretended not to have seen her. If I hadn't done this work maybe we would
just not have run into each other at all. I don't know. What I do
know is that life brought us together that day and our friendship graces my
life again. I thank BreakThrough
and Terryann, every time I see her, for giving me a way to do the work. BreakThrough has helped me to rebuild
this beautiful relationship I wasn't equipped to rebuild before that.
