Liviu Caliman said… - Dear Jo,
It is so good and refreshing to meet people like you. You show the world that the past does not equal the future; that we don’t need to get trapped in conflicts and perpetual violence and blaming, but understand each other. You bring a new voice of hope showing that we can better ourselves and the world we live in. Together.
Thank you. I'm looking forward to meeting you, and wish you the very best in everything you do.

I have finally had a little while to acquaint myself with your story. It is remarkable and one that needs to be heard. I am thankful that you came forward. You may have heard of Howard Zehr?
He has written books about how victims of violence have met their offenders. Do you know his work? I can introduce you if you like. He wrote a book with my husband's story I it whose sister was murdered by her husband.
I hope to meet you one day! I have worked with Peaceful Tomorrow's as a partner of the Courage of Conscience Speaker Tour, February 27 - March 27, 2009. Do you know about Combatants for Peace? You can see pictures of the C4P and my husband and I in this photo slide show http://www.combatantsforpeace.org/photo.asp?type=picasa&albumid=5319106578461927761&lng=eng
