"Your presentation made so much sense, I thoroughly enjoyed it. [ ]Thank you again, so much!" J. Hanley

"I was fortunate to attend your presentation at Harmony House and I found your presentation enriching. [ ]I would like to keep in touch. Peace and Blessings." G. Locke

"... I wanted to make sure to tell you that I heard a lot of positive buzz about your presentations. I want to thank-you for bringing such a mindfull topic to our town and to Harmony House. Although I wasn't able to attend from what I hear from others it sounds very similar to meditation. For example, teaching people to notice their breath, etc. And, on a personal note, I really wish I had been able [ ]to stay, because like Ally's mother said, your voice and aura was very pleasing and when I was around you even for a short time I felt like you were so sincere and compassionate. I hope that if you ever decide to do this again in our town or to try something else like this that you will consider our location again. Thank-you again for bringing so many people into our creative space that might otherwise have not come - now they will all know where Harmony House is!" Judy James
