Janet, You had told me the story of Ryan once before, and it touched me deeply. You are a courageous and special person to have used the gift your son gave you for a better purpose. On Saturday, when I heard you say “Our vulnerability is the source of our greatest power”, I knew deep in my heart that your words are true. Through my own journey, and writing my book HOPE for Survivors of Childhood Abuse…., I have truly learned that the truth really does set us free, and in order to be completely truthful, with ourselves for starters, we must allow ourselves to be vulnerable. Life is such an interesting and joy filled journey. Thank you for becoming a Friend Janet. Bless you.

Wow. Thank you for sharing this deeply personal, deeply compassionate story. What a special relationship you have with your beautiful precious son! And what a gift to life he is, that through his presence and your experiences together the wisdom of vulnerability is revealed. Such powerful lessons coming through the heart connection of love, between a mother and son. And who would have thought 20 years ago that this experience would inform your leadership work…Again, wow. Here’s to the sacred power of vulnerability, relationship, surrender and grace.

Janet
I have read many many blogs and this is the one that touches me inside – in my core. I think I know what vulnerability is as well as authenticity yet the way you speak to me through your blog fills me up with hope that I will find in my lifetime all that you found in five beautiful weeks with little Ryan. Thank you for showing us out loud what it means to live a vulnerable=powerful life. Just having lost my constant companion and best friend my beloved cat Tuxedo your writing has touched me and helped light my life force power within. Blessings to you and Ryan and all of your lovely family I am honoured to know and love. Kathy
