"I found this website about two months ago and found such comfort through your Helping Through The Grief section. I lost my Mom in March of this year, at the young age of 60 to alcoholism. I am a 40 year old female struggling with the issues of the past 25+ years.The thoughts, stories and words of hope carried me through a tough period. My link was the laptop computer I used daily for my job and when it was upgraded to a newer version, my bookmark was lost. I searched many hours over many weeks, unable to find you again. And tonight, I believe an Angel,maybe Mom, walked me down the path again.
I am grateful to God, I again found solace, and yes - I logged your website in more than one place. Thank you So Very Much for the words and hope through another night....."

"Being a Canadian, the people I am dealing with are those who served in Somalia, Bosnia,Croatia, Kuwait, Rwanda (ethnic cleansing) and Haiti and are suffering from POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.
It's extremely hard to hear the stories and facts that some of those people are talking about. Being in the Military myself and in a Leadership position, I must ensure that they are well looked after. Not only the soldiers but their families.
Now you will never wonder why I look at your Web Page daily. I use you Web Site to motivate myself and believe me it works. It's probably the best therapeutic tool there is. COMMUNICATION is the key word when it comes to solving some of their problems. To you and your web site, thank you for what you're doing for people."

Dear Marlene,
"Hello, I am a very dear friend of Paul Bauer of Dreams Alive and am also the voice of the Dream-Minder.
Paul speaks very highly of you and your web site. I recall my first introduction to your web site was one summer morning while I was spending some quiet vacation time in Lake Geneva. I was visiting various web sites while sitting in my favorite chair on my deck listening to the birds.
Your site was among the best. What struck me most was the clean, positive energy behind your site...the intention from your heart. It almost flows out from the screen as one moves through your site. I would love to participate in linking your site to mine and in any other ways I can help spread your word."
Susan M. Castle --- President Mind, Body Soul
Dear Marlene,
"Your site 'Motivating Moments' has been a tremendous source of inspiration and courage to me and many of the stories have touched the deepest cord in my heart. I have preserved each article in a folder, the pages of which I can open, to cheer me up when I'm down. I have shared them with many of my friends who are not fortunate enough to have the internet facility and for those friends who have it, I have recommended they visit your site, and like me many of them have found it an excellent and rewarding experience. Thanks so much for showing me a way when at times I thought all was lost."

"All I can say is WOW! I am a quote junkie and have been for years. I have millions of scrap papers, poems, etc. that I have kept for years and now write them in a book. I spent about 31/2 hours last night on your site just reading the great quotes people have submitted. I must admit I'm hooked. I cannot even read it tonight because my eyes are so blurred from the screen. Thanks for putting together a GREAT web site. I'm hooked and will share it with all my friends."
Kindest Regards,

"Hats off to your site and especially your content. Our society needs a lot more of what you have to offer. Good clean positive thinking. I hope you can keep your site going forever. I especially am impressed with teen involvement. That means to me that our world is not going to crash and burn. If you read, see or hear something positive and then repeat it to others,then I think that it has been engraved into your own heart. Ifthe next person passes it along then you have branded their heart too."

Thank you so much for your wonderful website. It is Saturday morning 11.08 here in Pretoria, South Africa and I went on the web for a few minutes. Ihave been on for nearly 1:45 just reading your site.
Wow I am so pleased I found it and will visit often. I was looking for something nice to put in a card to a friend after harsh words this week. Your site has certainly helped me.

I visited your website. Wow, it's great. My great grandmother has a scrapbook that she has had since she was young. She is 84 now. When her time here is done the scrapbook is mine. I love collecting quotes and poems like she does. I can keep adding to grandma's with ones that I have collected and I will then pass it on to my daughter someday. She loves this stuff too. Keep up the great work. "

"Dear Marlene,
I just wanted to thank you for creating this website. I am 18 years old and I am going to be a freshman at Villanova University in Philadelphia, PA.
I am currently training to tryout for their field hockey team. It is a division 1 field hockey team and it is very competitive. Most of the other girls are recruited, but I was not.
Throughout this whole summer I have challenged myself and questioned how much I want to be a part of this team many times every day. When I found your site I was kind of in a slump and feeling sorry for myself because I wasn't playing well in games. I spent hours on your website and you have given me new strength and determination.
I copied down the quotes that especially inspired me and re-typed them and now I have about 120 quotes taped to the back of my bedroom door. Before I go to run or in any way train or even when I justneed some inspiration I just read the back of my door and feel like I can do anything.
I know that it is so important to me to be on this team, but I know that no matter what happens I gave it my all and I have learned invaluable lessons along the way. THANK YOU! and keep up the good work. "
Jennifer, Age 18 --- Pennsylvania

"I am crying with happiness as I read your pages! It is just what I was looking for!! I will definitely be recommending it in our next newsletter for our state wide cancer support group for young adults (25 - 35 year old cancer patients and their family/supporters). If any site visitors have friends going through hard or trying times, give them a print out of any of these pages and it will be sure to reduce their burdens and give them a new perspective on it all. After all, this is what friends are for! Thanks,"

Beckie C. - Colorado
"I was really impressed about the site, for it is in my lowest moments that I draw strength from the words of others for they have been there too, they simply took a different path to me. Poetry helps me to deal with my anguish that I sometimes feel at the world and it also makes me realize that every day has rainbows, some days you just have to look a little harder to find them. It basically keeps me sane. Thanks for the awesome site, will return again soon."

"I think this web site is really great --- thanks for creating it. I find sometimes when I am feeling down, confused, or a little too "existential", inspirational quotes put me right back on track. I have a large diary that I have filled with hundreds of sayings that inspire me. I am moving to Japan next week to a pretty isolated area, and I look forward to spending some time alone pondering life, love, and fulfillment. I will be sure to let you know any of my modest epiphanies! I will also email some of my favorite quotes. Take Care,"

Jennifer Prugh
"It's 3:45am, Bill can't sleep (chronic pain- it's on n' off @times), So I surf cyber, come across your site, how neat! how great! this site is simply good to the core. Thinking Positive, like love, takes pre thought, effort, and discipline. Those who are negative, though they may love, true love can never be realized, until they can see their love is only a shadow of an eternal flame that could be dancing and shining in their souls. Those whom desire to grasp for all that is positive, to find the positive qualities in all, her/his sisters and brothers, to put effort into lifting the lowly, feeding the hungry, clothing humanity, disarming the greedy, are truly grasping the essence of God. Marlene, Peace, Joy,"
Billy Dean
