Lale's evaluation of Istanbul workshop
Note from Gloria: Please excuse me for my delay in sharing the workshop evaluations from Istanbul. I wasn't thinking when I took the written copies home with me. Most are in Turkish, and just a few I in English which I am finally typing up.
Lale was one of the workshop sponsors. I remember that her name means Tulip. I believe that the tulip is a frequently used symbol of the beautiful country of Turkey.

In this workshop I got a confirmation to the things I already knew. This will make my life easier since it will be easier for me to move on.
The point where "something" happened is at the first Godwriting I did. It was a moment of "Aha." It was a moment of knowing so well. It was a profound moment.
The key to this work is to let God work. That is it. So simple, yet so difficult sometimes.
What stood out most for me was why I don't write more, for I like to write a lot. I feel a deep enthusiasm for writing more now, and this feeling is making me very happy.
What I missed is sharing a deep wound of mine. Maybe next time. But in the meanwhile, I will do lots of personal Godwriting.
This workshop was arranged in such a way that nothing was less, nothing was more -- everything was just right!
The group's importance was huge. The group helped me a lot with their sincerity and open hearts. I learned so much from others' Godwriting since, in a way, their questions were also mine.
In this short time, I feel so calm and peaceful -- even though I was the translator. I am feeling so satisfied and like no other satisfaction I have ever felt before.
Thank you, Gloria and Santhan, for coming here from a far country, traveling all that way for us. It is very much appreciated.
You can share all this on your website, blog, book etc.
Love, Lale
Note to Lale from Gloria: Lale, are you going to share some of your Godwriting with us? Do you want to tell us about your deep wound?
Again, many thanks to you and Jale for bringing the people together and making this workshop in Istanbul happen.

I especially wants to THANK YOU Lale, you are a true Helper.
I also thank Jale, you were just there to take care of the workshop.. she was checking out who was on the door and/or phone. I really appreciate it.
BIG HUGS to both of you. Looking forward to meeting you some day again!
Thanks Lale for you feedback: I'm noticing that in spite of the place where the workshop is held the experiences of the participants seem to be very similar. Godwriting seems to link all of us to each other, and this a wonderful feeling. I guess this is a means used by God to make us feel as a one family besides all the things that apparently try to separate us... it's always a blessing for me to have a glimpse (as far as I feel) of the work God is doing for us to make us grow in unity :)
With a smile like Lale's that deep wound won't last long. I think its already gone! I loved that when Lale and Jale took us for dinner, Lale selected the meals for us.
The breaks was also delicious..;)
