This is a thread, similar to the advice columns in newspapers. Here you can post when someone else has really helped you, given you the right advice, helped your through an issue, scanned something important, been nice...whatever. This way we will see and be affirmed in our awesomeness...and be able to make a Book of Win for ourselves.

Dear Teahouse,

I got into an intense discussion/argument with my best friend over my involvement with Elfpath - it started because he asked for a scan which Casadei was kind enough to do for him.

Anyway, my best friend is religious and I had a hard time trying to explain things from my point of view and I told Casadei how troublesome it'd been to talk to him and she started telling me about her experiences with religion and finding her way to Elfpath. I sent my friend a transcript of what Casadei had said and he buckled a little. He's still "scared shitless" that I'm in a cult but Casadei's words eased him I think, because she could relate. Maybe one day he will find his way here because of her, and I would love for him to be here so that he can deal with the issues that are holding him back!

Thank you very much for sharing Cas~ ♥ :3

Dear Teahouse,

Besides the backlog of people I still have to thank, I'll start with the most recent one. I want to thank Deb.

You may not realise it but you did a great thing for me last night - I could have slacked off, instead I stepped up and didn't regret it for a moment. The nature of the conversation would have been challenging for me a month ago. It still was challenging, but I'd thought I'd still be flailing a LOT more. Talking to you made me realise I've come farther than I thought. It's a new boost of confidence in my process, thanks to you. My main problem is getting my ass in gear, so this means a lot to me.

Thanks a lot, you're more amazing than you think!

Dear Teahouse,

I just thought everyone should know just how awesome and patient and helpful Mari has been to me today. And not just today, she's been incredibly patient with me throughout the years that we've known each other. She managed to give me that push I needed today for finding my true self, which I'd been putting off, because I was scared of her being in IP and I was scared of this whole finding my real self, because it means change.

So Mari... Thank you for that. Thank you for today and thank you for all those years before where you stood up for me while I was being passive, and for all those years of patience with me. I love you. I really do. I'd hug you to tiny bits if you were here. You are amazing.

Dear Teahouse,

Just wanted to give my thanks to Susi for bringing out the playful side of me that I haven't seen in quite a while So thanks Susi! ♥

Dear Teahouse,
I wanted to thank Mari the wonderful meta-vet! Thanks to her skills in meta and knowlegde as a vet she calmed my nerves and helped me take care of my bunny who had sprained his foot. I was a wreak and she helped me keep my head on...Thumpers doing so much better now. Also thanks to everyone else who delt with me. Your all such a big help here. <3

Dear Teahouse,
I want to give a giant whole hearted thanks to Luufie my "Life Saver". Luufies has an amazing talent when helping me go thru of my gut muck messes. I could be screaming and yelling at her about to punch her (how i'd do that thru a computer idk) and she can keep calm and keep pushing me to my core. I can be balling my eyes out and she is the perfect mixture of the crackin wip and the soothing comferting voice and hand. Luufie dear, thank you for everything you have done for me. For dealing with me when I was very op and helping me sort thru the guck when it became to overwhelming for me to deal with it alone. You have done so much for me and idk how i can ever repay you. Thank you a million times and I love you. Hopefully one day I'll be able to be as helpful as you have been to me. <3

Dear Teahouse,

Yesterday I had fight with my bf and came on-line completely crushed. Just few minutes of talk with Yellow Belt preparation group allowed me to believe again that I can achieve my dreams and that I've already achieved many things. Susi, Luufie, Cas thanks to you I was able to pull myself together and half hour later run a check up. You probably haven't noticed that moment but you made huge difference inside me.
*bearhug* to you all.

Dear Teahouse,

Even though this happened during my check-up last night, I'd still like to give huge thanks to Sarah for helping me with my MEN. You were really awesome, and made me see a few things that I may have known, but didn't want to see yet. You're a very good teacher and I thank you for the personal counselling you did with me during the entire check-up. *hugs* <3

Dear Teahouse,

Keep up the great work and keep being your loney and epicly epic self. I see you doing great things not only for yourself but for ep. *Hugs* keep strong kid. <3
