Kudo's"To Lucinda, Carolyn, and everyone else at the Midwest Center, I am so thankful. I can't express how I feel! I have changed so much already and I've just finished the program. My life was mostly motivated by fear, now I can finally step back and make good decisions. I have had your book for many years but I just couldn't call for the program...the "whatifs" came tumbling in. Then one day I was watching TV, a station I never get at home, the infomercial came on - I just wept-I heard myself. I knew I had to get the program!
I got it-it was a gift from God. I'm more assertive, confidant, and relaxed. I still have problems that I have to deal with but I know I'm a "great problem solver.
I got a new job!!! My previous job was really negative - I sometimes can't believe I have this wonderful job, better salary, more responsibility...I could go on - I know without a doubt it's because of this program. My confidence has gone way up. You know I thought I would never get out of my former job, I saw others leaving but never believed I would. I'm so grateful for god and all of you. I could write so much more, but I'm so thankful!

"Dear Lucinda and the wonderful people who make up the Midwest Center, I can't find the words to tell you how much I appreciate you. You came into my life after fifty years of struggle. I got the program at the age of 60. My problem was a strong undercurrent of anxiety that would come and go like waves at the beach. They would hit then pull away. I would think, if this or that happened, how would I handle it? I would hear, or read, about something happening to someone, then I would imagine that happening to one of my family members, or myself, then I would just know without a doubt that I wouldn't be able to handle it. I knew I my thinking was doing this, but I didn't know how to stop it 'til I got the program.
I couldn't wait for the program to get here. I loved every minute of working with it. My favorite part of the workbook is in Lesson One where it says, "So! You think you're week? Ha! You are among the strongest people on earth! Look what you have had to do in order to help yourself take control!"
I'm in the process of going through the workbook for the second time. I had underlined all the parts that I would want to read again. I listen to the CD's every time I'm able to and I bought a little battery powered CD player so I could listen to them with the headphones and not disturb anyone else in the house. If you ever make 'follow up' tapes, I'd love to know so I could buy them.
My biggest surprise is that there are so many people like me out there and that help was available all along and I didn't know. I know God caused me to see your "spot" on TV, and I haven't run up on it since.
When I hear Mike, the young minister on the CD, my heart goes out to him and I always say, "Bless his heart, Lord please." I'm so grateful to all the ones who were big enough to help put the group sessions together. All of you are being prayed for in this ministry. This is a true ministry born of God. You will never be forgotten.
God bless you all

Helpful HintsHint from Sheri:
I put a sign on my monitor that says in huge bright letters: STOP THINK REACT SERENITY PRAYER (just saying the title is enough for Sheri) "I am very much looking forward to the lessons." Sheri also types notes in her computer as she listens to the tapes - good technique. The more senses we engage as we learn the more we retain.
