Finished reading your story and my God! How can one person go through so so many storms and come out kind and compassionate? What\u2019s your secret? I would love to read more about you. Are you and Richard Baer writing another book together? Please do!<\/p>\n<p>Hugs and Kisses.<\/p>\n<p>Pearl<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dear Pearl,<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for recognizing me in such a good way. I can&#8217;t imagine treating anyone as I don&#8217;t wish to be treated. I believe in giving and sharing one act of kindness at a time. I admit there have been a few bad moments, but not bad enough for me to lash out at anyone. I believe we all carry hurts and no one knows what the other is feeling. I don&#8217;t judge and pray no one else does. For me, staying calm brings peace of mind. I have a hard time with toxic people, but empathize with them, for I know they must be hurting to treat others with disrespect.<\/p>\n<p>We are in the beginning phases of writing a sequel to <em>Switching Time<\/em>. I&#8217;m excited about this new project because it will share the ups and downs of my life as a mom, and after therapy ended. \u00a0What happened after is as much a powerful journey as before my integration. As always my goal is to help others understand what it is like to be me, after integration, as one woman with a variety of interests. My integration was over ten years ago and not once has an alter resurfaced, not once was a new alter created.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your question, and for encouraging Dr. Baer and me to write another book.<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Pearl on 14 Oct 2011 at 10:53 am Hi Karen!
