Miscellaneous Raves & Reviews

Margaret Henn, Soroptimist Arbutus
December, 2006

“I heard you being discussed on the Marc Steiner Show yesterday—did not get to hear all of it because I was just arriving at my destination and did not have the luxury of listing to the entire program—but you were certainly being praised—I will look up the replay online when it becomes available. Figured you already were aware, but wanted to share, just in case. I was very glad to hear you being so publicly and deservedly acknowledged—congrats.”

Peace, Blessings, and Lots of Love,
Anita Muhammad
January, 2003

“You never cease to amaze me. I am so proud of where you come from, where you are now, and where you are headed. I believe you to be an inspiration to all women who mask their abilities and passions in fear. I love your presence. The article in Maryland Woman Magazine is great! It is an inspiration to all who need to get started. It is also an inspiration to many who may have needed a jump start due to their battery dying out. I am proud to know you and to have been on the receiving end of many of the blessings that you are allowed to put upon us by God himself. Whatever keeps motivating you, let it continue. The world needs people like you who look past surface and go right to the core of those lives you touch. And to think you do it on purpose! What a delightful concept.”

“Thanks for the email containing the upcoming events! Wow!!!! You appear to be always on the go. How do you do it???? :-) What keeps you constantly motivated? When I look at your agenda that you send through emails like this, I say to myself, ‘Gee, Ginny is moving along, just like that Energizer Bunny on the commercial… She keeps going and going…’

“All I have to say is… ‘Keep up the good work and as always, take care of yourself.’”

“THANK YOU for keeping me on your list. I am reading your newsletter late at night in the midst of some personal turmoil and changes. I have found not one fantastic resource, but so many I have lost count. Some of the entries have reassured me that I am doing the right thing by making changes when it’s SO much easier to just stay the same; I noticed members who have products, services and workshop notices that are all on my list of things I needed but had NO clue where to look. I am grateful to you and all the contibuting writers/members for adding so much to my life in one sitting/reading of the newsletter!”

“I wanted to thank you, again, for coordinating the trip to see The Vagina Monologues. What an absolutely fabulous event. You went to a lot of trouble arranging everything and if everyone enjoyed the day as much as I did, there’s no way to adequately say thanks. Once again, you have been the arranger extraordinaire. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and organization!”
