Carole Asks Howie to Take a Formal Role at the Sanctuary Carole writes Howie At 03:53 PM 9/3/2003 -0400: This is another very good reason to have you take a more formal position within the sanctuary. You are the one who speaks with such eloquence, who thinks with such clarity and who is so accomplished at conveying the thought through your written word. I can't keep taking credit for all that YOU are doing to help us reach a higher level of professionalism. I need your help, desperately, but I don't need the glory... and frankly, can't live up to the expectation that cultivated by your endeavors. I know this is a rocky time, but when you are dealing with animal people there is never a good time for change. Give it some thought. - Carole Lewis, Founder Howie wrote: The time is not right. If I were to do that now, I would be so overwhelmed I would be unable to do that many tasks that I see that I think I can help with in my current position as somewhat behind the scenes and meeting the outside world as an Advisory Board Member. It would be like putting someone in a role before they fulfilled their training and setting them up to fail. I am learning daily and feel I am accomplishing things. Since I apparently have a standing invitation (which I do appreciate), how about let me tell you when/if I think the time comes to take a more formal role. When that time comes, I think you will find my decision to be a good one. - Howie I am the luckiest woman in the world! Dear Howie, Not a moment goes by that I am not thinking about you and reveling in how wonderful you are. I enjoyed reconnecting with you last night in such a wonderfully intimate way. I treasure the feel of you still. You are such a help to me in so many ways! With each email update of your progress I feel strengthened and renewed and ever more able to take on the challenges ahead. You are one of a kind and I am the luckiest woman in the world to be sharing this time with you! - Carole I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story. The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/ I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story. My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
