"Marjorie, I just wanted to thank you for all you do. The hour and half that I spend in your group has been a lifeline to my sanity and is forever gratefully appreciated. I just wanted to say thank you, thank you a thousand times thank you."
"I wanted to take a minute to say thank you, so much, for the Friday morning webinars/trainings. Those Friday morning calls have been a lifeline for me.Seeing faces and talking to people around the state during this time of isolation has been a godsend. Isolation is noooo good for me, and I was beginning to sink into a dark place when I started getting on your Friday calls. That connection has been invaluable during these crazy, scary times.Your meetings allowed me to once again speak the "language" of peer support with people who understand the challenges of this role and can provide support and validation. That has been...priceless.
So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for providing an opportunity for so much growth and connection. It has been immeasurably vital."
"Thank you so much for leading this training. It was so helpful and inspiring.
Personally, I had such an affirmation of the great need I have to be in touch with the genius, the humility, the expansiveness, the tremendous good will, the community and camaraderie, and the Human Connection of Peers!!!!!!!! And such a rush of a sense of purpose and meaning--it has stayed with me all day!"
"Todays training was awesome. Had me in tears a few times. Thanks for all you do."
