It was one of those comments that I can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p>Len, Utah<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dear Len,<\/p>\n<p>Though we haven&#8217;t received many negative reviews, I do enjoy reading the points of view of others. Whether good or bad, it doesn&#8217;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. \u00a0Maybe the person needs help and can&#8217;t accept it? I&#8217;m not affected by negative people; I don&#8217;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&#8217;s best not to allow anger to control one&#8217;s thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your kind and thoughtful compliments! I truly appreciate your concern. It&#8217;s taken me many years to get here and I won&#8217;t allow a bad review to set me back.<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you all my best,<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Len on 05 Aug 2011 at 5:13 pm Hi Karen, I am pissed about some a-hole negative review on your book.
