I wanted to send to you my mid-term and wish you well. I've talked with you 
only once so far, and would like to send good wishes and positivity your 
way. i was also wondering about peru and if you knew of any Native Medicine 
Wisepersons who except internships, or fellewships.

In the past few years, I became aware of my struggle with my own negative 
psychology. My mind comes to a breaking point when struggle occurs and I 
believe turning my back to my problems help them disappear. However, the 
problems continually compound, and my mental state continually breaks. 
Recently, in an attempt to balance out my mind and pull myself away from the 
struggles which restrict me from achieving the gloriousness I know I can be 
apart of, I have began the study of positive psychology and faith healing. 
The reprogramming skills I currently am developing aim to integrate a pray, 
work, think, believe psychology into my current dreariness. With my goal of 
mastering my own self into positivity I believe can drastically affect the 
state of the community. Rob Knapp once told me, “A community is only as 
strong as its weakest link,” I normally feel as though I am the weakest 
link, and within that thought of mind become so. Currently, I am working on 
achieving a balance within myself, which, in theory if works out, I will 
move further to point were I can help others, help themselves. My project 
will have something to do with tea and the community, I am thinking a 
donation based tea shop in the forest or near the library.
