As an artist and as a person, Scientology has been invaluable to me. Since becoming a Scientologist about fifteen years ago, I can honestly say that I have been in charge of my own life. I know how to handle problems, and how to make my own opportunities and find success. I have no fear of what may happen to me in life because I know there is always a solution available in the written words of L. Ron Hubbard - I have access to all the wisdom I will ever need! I stopped hosts of various things that were inhibiting my progress and I have revitalized the dreams I had as a child - and made them come true! A really amazing result of some help I had in counselling was that I got rid of the blocks stopping one from believing in myself as an artist. I was already a writer - and that got steadily better. But I suddenly recovered the ability to draw and paint! I had not done this since 14 years old at school. I am over 50 now and this happened so recently that I am still overwhelmed by this new ability to create pictures on paper and use colour in a way that gets people to stop and stare. What I think Scientology has truly done for me is to enable me to be really happy and to realize my dreams.
