"Know that anything I say here is but a speck of what my life is experiencing, because I cannot even see the extent of impact/influence this program has had on me. I feel like I'm generally a happier person or perhaps I'm more aware of it or its easier somehow. I watch myself, my thoughts, my behavior as an understanding outsider..."
