A Thank You Letter From Liliana: Nutrition Intern
A thank you letter from Liliana - our nutrition intern!
Dear Stram Center:
The day I first came to you, I was really excited and had no idea on what to expect. All I knew is that I wanted to come to this place that was clearly resonating with my whole idea of health.
“This is heaven.” I thought. It was love at first sight. One hour with you and I was already fascinated by everything I was learning. And so it started…
I felt overjoyed when I saw how your patients where actually getting better and were ever so grateful and convinced about this kind of medicine. These doctors are actually changing the world in a kind and honest way.
I don’t know how my twice a week presence here suddenly became three, four, five days a week… But the more I got to know you, the more I knew I wanted to be here and create something and keep learning. It was a genuine feeling. I felt inspired. You captivated me.
I also wanted to take care of your patients with what I know and love: food. After all, your first approach to better health is thinking of “food as medicine”, and my whole idea is making such food delicious. So the smoothies turned into meals. The more I saw people happy, the more I wanted to be there for them.
Time was going by quickly and I was getting all of these mixed emotions about leaving you. I was (still am) worried about leaving everyone behind, with no one to cook!
But the time to say good-bye arrived. It was really hard. You have wonderful people working with you; they make your heart beat and give you an outside glow. People who changed me. Who I wanted to get to know and are like no others I’ve met. Your patients keep you alive, because they believe in you.; In everything you have done for them. There is no other one like you.
Thank you for having me. For guiding me. For opening your door. Opening my eyes. And most importantly, for believing in me with that big smile I got from you every time I was there.
Beautiful Stram Center: I’m gone for now, but will be back. That is a promise. This is just the beginning.
Love always,
Liliana
