Hi Karen,

I am pissed about some a-hole negative review on your book. It was one of those comments that I can’t let go. How do you deflect pain of negative people? Have there been times where you sunk low into a depression because of being insulted over sharing your story. I have read your book and feel honored to be able to read such inspiration of healing. What a wonderful spirit and miracle of God you are. Thank you for bringing me understanding. Thank you and Richard Baer for sharing a hard to write story in which I think you both did an amazing job.

Dear Len,

Though we haven’t received many negative reviews, I do enjoy reading the points of view of others. Whether good or bad, it doesn’t matter. I have survived a lot and am happy to be alive. In my opinion, those who write in anger may be hurting themselves.  Maybe the person needs help and can’t accept it? I’m not affected by negative people; I don’t want to give them that power over me. My story is my story. There will always be someone who will try to trigger me into having a bad thought, but I know the truth. In my opinion, it’s best not to allow anger to control one’s thoughts.

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful compliments! I truly appreciate your concern. It’s taken me many years to get here and I won’t allow a bad review to set me back.

Wishing you all my best,

Karen
