First of all, my thanks to each of you who are critics, and help expose the abuses of Scientology. Each time I speak, actually each day, I realize more and more how much you've helped myself and many others, and I think you need to know this.
I of course mentioned you, the critics, and let's face it..... Andreas is part of my life... whether he wants to be, or not! People love to hear our story of my waking up, meeting who I *thought* was "The Devil" and finding out he not only wasn't..........but is a truly wonderful person.
Santa Barbara was a totally fabulous trip. They sent me a train ticket, so it was a delightful ride up, and back. They picket me up, treated me to lunch and then off to meet the Humanist Society. What a great group! They had way more than they thought come to this meeting, (est: 90 people) and that's always fun, so they were very happy, and got a few new members, too.
Mark was kind enough to drive up there, and ended up being a BIG HIT! One lady who helped set up my entire talk, wants Mark to come back and speak. How cool is that???
Another amazing thing for all of us was one man who came up after the talk. He introduced himself, said he'd just done Scientology's Introductory services and looked on the Internet. He found the Humanist Society and that I was speaking there, so he came! He told me it was very educational for him, and he way VERY happy he had come
It's always fun to help educate people...in all walks of life.
They had invited me to stay at one of the Board Member's Homes who I had met here in LA. I was happy to do so, and having a dinner after ended up being a terrific idea. 25 people showed up at the Sizzler, and Mark stayed to that was perfect. He chatted with one end, and I chatted with the other.
Later we went to a beautiful hotel on the ocean for drinks after, and again had some delightful conversation. They're a great group of people! Staying at my new friend's home was fantastic, too. They have a gorgeous home that over looks all of Santa Barbara, so I was extremely comfortable there and enjoyed more discussions at their home.
The kind lady and her husband who I stayed with set up a Brunch for this morning, also. What a treat! Again, about 10 people showed up, which they said was more than they'd planned for, and we had fantastic discussions about everything from Politics, to more Scios stories, to travel where they'd all been, and some are leaving to soon.
Finally one of the members and I cruised around Santa Barbara for an hour or so before I got on the train to come home. What a totally delightful town. My ride home was excellent, very comfortable and relaxing.
I can't thank you all enough who have offered your kind words to me, and support over the years. Daily each of you helps more people than you can imagine!
MY very best
