Former Apprentice testimonial

October, 2007

Dear Susun,

I'm not sure if you remember me, but I apprenticed with you a couple years ago. I just wanted to write you a letter to tell you how much I have grown over the last couple years. I am months away from completing my Bachelor's in Natural Health Sciences and then I will be continuing on to my Natural Health Doctorate.

I have taken many herbal and all natural classes and I have to tell you that I think I learned more in your apprenticeship than anywhere else. All the lessons I learned with you have y stuck with me. You have a phenomenal teaching ability. Your wisdom has resonated within me from the moment I left.

As I gain years of knowledge, I realize that your power and "angry" moments stem from a much deeper knowledge and respect of our heritage than the anger that I have always been accustomed to. I wanted to tell you that I now realize that it is all for the power of the lesson learned, not to cause guilty or unworthy feelings. On that note, I would like to say that the reason I left was because of this misinterpretation. I have always been very sensitive and tend to shut down and not listen any more when I am being yelled at. You forced me to listen and to separate myself from my actions. That was an invaluable lesson to learn so early on in life.

I wanted to thank you for being part of my life, even if briefly. . . . Please accept this letter as my life teacher, the person I still to this day believe taught me more about the universe, plants, and the Goddess within than anyone else I've met so far. I would like to capture my Green Goddess and live as her always. May I resume my studies with you?

In thanks,

I too would like to thank Susan for making me stop and listen when I would have otherwise shut down. It seems I display a pattern of stubborn behavior when presented with subject matter pertaining to behavior...while it has always been easy for me to point out the shortcomings of others,I shudder at the slightest critique of whether I am living as I profess or if I am being a hipocrite....Well, thanks to susan, I now have the self confidence to actually do something about my frownlines. I have been getting BOTOX shots in my face, it deadens muscles and gives me a blank expression, and it's only $500 per syringe....it's all natural (Botulin Toxin from pork,the other white meat) and it supports doctors who would otherwise treat the ill..I have a Buddha in my garden and it's really helping! Thanks Wise Woman Web!
