After signing up for BOAW Fest, I took the time to read some of your posts. Just read “Does Dirt Have Calories” – powerful! And I will be watching Miss Representation, and then sharing it with my daughter. Thank you for running BOAW – it’s so important for us to change how we view ourselves!
Best,

/ February 26, 2013Greetings from a far away land,
I really enjoyed reading about your life’s journey which has been quite interesting and led you down many paths. I love the fact that you are attempting to help people deal with Alzheimer’s disease through nutrition. The ability to give of yourself in the service of others is a beautiful act and gift of love. I sincerely wish you all the best wherever your life’s’ journey leads you.
God bless you in every way.
August McLaughlin
/ February 26, 2013Lovely of you to say, Konstantine. Thank you! Best wishes and many blessings to you as well.

/ June 21, 2013Receiving the mail this morning, informing me you are now following my blog, I naturally popped over to see what you write. I read you post on handling bad reviews, and really liked what I’d read. Next stop, here, and a quick thank you for following my blog, not many words on mine more photos, but I hope you will enjoy what you see.
In return I follow you, as we all think we have a book in us, and I’m busy with two at the same time. Will they ever be published? I doubt it, as I think they are more a type of therapy for old age creeping up on me. But I do think I can learn from those that can, and it certainly seems that you can.
So the Bulldog joins your family of followers, tongue in cheek sometimes, but always prepared to learn something new.
Thank you again for following me, even though it is because of a boob cancer post, but then people do meet in the most oddest of places…

I just read this article and thought it sounded like something you would love to post about at some point in the future:
