I was a lonely person, inclined to be introverted and uncertain of myself. I am now a person who hugely enjoys her own company or equally the company of others. I can very happily be by myself or with others. I love my fellow human beings and also myself, and this to me is a priceless treasure. My relationship with my family is fulfilling, as a result of my Scientology studies and counseling, even though we have different religious and philosophic beliefs. As a result of my association with Scientology I can handle really difficult situations despite the barriers involved, including starting a new career in my late 40's almost from scratch.
