"I loved what you wrote in your Director's Notes, '...stories are all we are, all we have, all we will ever be. We only exist in the sharing.'"

"Lovely, lovely notes that I want to read and re-read again. You have so many gifts that you share with us, and your exquisite writing-poetic and singing, philosophical and soul moving takes me to new and mind opening places. Thank you, thank you!"
