This is the review of my third encounter with Ms. Terra. With each encounter, I seem to learn more about this remarkable woman. I am frankly in awe of her. To be clear, while her professional skills are nothing short of spectacular, in this review, I will not be going into detail about those things.
To me, the thing that sets Ms. Terra apart is who she is, and how she carries herself. It is truly remarkable how giving she is with me. Of course, I cannot speak to how she deals with her other clients. But I will say that I do not believe that I am terribly special in this regard. I genuinely believe that her giving nature is a key element to who she is.
Perhaps an example would be helpful. I did make two suggestions about our time together before arriving at the Ranch. The first was “sexy librarian” clothing on her part. She fulfilled this request spectacularly. I had made a second request, but she convinced me that, though she could fill the request I had made, the fulfillment of that request might actually impede a good flow to our time together. In other words, she applied her own experience in a way that was respectful of my request, and was patient enough to explain to me why it was likely that my request might actually take away from, rather than add to, our encounter. Once she explained her reasoning, I had no reason to doubt her at all. I have learned to trust Ms. Terra’s instincts. She is very open, as long as you are willing to have an honest conversation about what you want from your experience, and are respectful of her boundaries. In my experience, her boundaries are quite reasonable.
Just as in my first two experiences with Ms. Terra, I am still a person uses an electric wheelchair for mobility. Frankly, this means that any provider that I see has to do a bit more work in order for our encounter to be a success simply because I cannot physically do everything that most clients would be able to do for themselves. Ms. Terra takes on this extra burden without complaint, and even provides reassurance that she is unfazed by the extra effort that she has to expand just to make our encounter a success.
Some people may think that this is simply a matter of a service provider doing what is necessary. Speaking of my life more generally, in many professions, any additional work that comes with getting services (outside of the Ranch) is often met with difficulty. So, to find a person at the Ranch who goes out of their way to make it easy for me is noteworthy. A very small thing to some people can be a very big thing to someone else. This was exceptionally important to me.
There is another way to think about this. While most people will help me when I asked for that help, for many of them, there can be a noticeable lack of enthusiasm, and even frustration. With Ms. Terra, I have never seen any lack of enthusiasm to assist, and certainly no frustration. Not once.
I doubt that this woman would have any difficulty in making a very good living even if she refused ever see me again. In other words, her willingness to assist me is not because she needs the money. Her willingness is about who she is. As I said, she is a remarkable woman. Warm, understanding, understated, and exceptionally smart, I just did not want my time with her to end. The fact is, the rest of my trip had been marred by difficulties with my Las Vegas hotel. Ms. Terra was kind enough to save my vacation, and make the entire trip to Las Vegas worth doing on the strength of my time with her alone. As this review should make clear, as great as the activities themselves were (and I do not mean to downplay them), it was Ms. Terra herself that made the entire experience truly worthwhile.
Ms. Terra, I want to say thank you. It is not very often that one person can turn a potential disaster vacation into something well worth doing. But you did that for me, and I am exceptionally grateful. As I mentioned earlier, I am in awe of you. I genuinely hope that you realize how special you are. If ever you should need to be reminded of it, I will be happy to repeat everything I have said and more. It is easy to find ways to say nice things about you both as a person and as a professional, because they are all true. I thank you for being who you are, and for doing what you do. Of course, there is ever anything I can do for you to prove what I have said, all you need do is ask. I know that words can be cheap, so there is any action I can do to show you how unique and special you are, count me in. Once again, I thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Mike
