“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.” |

“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.” |

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!” |

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!” |
