"
I found this website about two months ago and found such comfort through
your grief area. 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....."

"
This is a great page it has helped me so much you cannot understand. I
simply love it ! Keep up the great work !!!"

"
Once a month I get a get a quote from your motivations and use it in my signature when I send
e-mail. I enjoy reading them because it makes me appreciate life so much more."
--- Evelyn G. Walker --- Ohio
"
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."
--- Frank Emond --- Canada
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."
--- Sharon Pires
"
I just wanted to tell you how much I love this site. I was up late last
night and some how stumbled across it then I really couldn't go to bed. I
had to keep reading! I've had 3 deaths in my family in the past year and
its been real hard. Thank You so much!! Keep up the good work!!"
--- Renee

but I'm sure that I'll keep coming back.

my friends. They help me to keep a positive attitude. Everyone should visit
your site! Thanks again."
---Margaret --- Pennsylvania
"
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,
---Ann M.Shumbo

---Toni Palmer --- England
"

---Lisa Frisby
"
I have been out to your site, I think every day this week (except for
Tues). I just cannot seem to get enough. IT IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT.
It is so rewarding to find such absolutely safe and motivating content
today. Keep it up. You contribute so much to the valuable side of the internet.
We need more wholesomeness like you provide. Thanks,"
---Charlie
"
Not sure anymore how I came to find your web site. All I know is

---Lucy
"
My basketball coach told me about the motivateus web site, so I decided to
visit to see what it was all about. I absolutely love it. There are so
many neat things I can't seem to find enough time to enjoy it all. Thank you for providing this web site it is really awesome!"
---Traci S., Age 17 --- Iowa
"
Keep this site going! I have read everything on here and it has made a difference in my thinking, I have e-mailed some to others. Thanks for your great choice in a site. It's wonderful!"
---Tammy Kane --- Wyoming
"
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. If
the next person passes it along then you have branded their heart too."
---Charlie Litton

Traci, found your home page, and I have visited every time I get online.
I want to thank you for helping me help others become successful.

---Donald C. Skinner --- Iowa

I just wanted to take the time to tell you how much I love you site. It is great for many reasons if I feel down I just log on to your web page and read all of these amazing quotes. Also I play college basketball and when I need something inspirational I print a quote from off of your page and it brings the team up. And I just love your site.
Thank you and keep up the good work."
Thanks,
---Jacki
"
I have to thank and congratulate you, this site is the best on the net.
I've moved from South Africa to Australia a year ago and sometimes I
miss my family terribly. Since I came across your work, I know where to
go in these "down" times. Please, keep up the good work. God Bless!"
---Terésa Meyer --- Perth, Western Australia
"
Just wanted to take a moment to tell you how wonderful your site is. I
didn't have time to look at it all and plan on returning another day. I
did go to the section on "Grief and Grieving" and went through it all. My
brother was recently killed in a jet crash in Australia. He was a Marine
fighter jet pilot and was practicing at night when he crashed. Needless to
say, your website has brought me some comfort and encouragement. I plan on
sharing your site with friends and relatives, too."
Thank you
---Ripley

---Melanie, Age 18 --- Australia
"
This page has helped me so much. The best book is one that teaches you
something that you already know. I have learned many of these truths in
life and to know that other people have the same feelings and are just
like me gives me confidence and stability to tackle the problems of
life."
---Shane Warren

headed off in a whole new direction."
---Ursula Rumble --- South Africa

I have just started a new job which requires training
others. I was looking for something to motivate them to learn. I have
been posting quotations on our training board and was thrilled to find your

Hi Marlene
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. I
have 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.
It is so exciting to find an exceptional site and judging from
your visitors there are so many wonderful people out there world wide also
spreading love, kindness, courage and hope to those that need it. Thanks
again. "
--- Jenni Bell --- Pretoria, South Africa

Hi Marlene,
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 just
need 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
"
Thank you for giving the dreamers a place to find a"drinking hole" in the
desert of failures that precede the glorious triumphs."
--- Cully Miller --- Pennsylvania
"
I think that what you are doing is a very positive thing. At some point
or another, everyone needs to hear or read something positive with all
of this negativity around us. Thanks,"
--- Toby Dingle --- Virginia
"
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,"
--- Sue from Australia
"
Thanks for posting my previous offerings. Keep up the marvelous work. I've
told hundreds of people all over the country about your site since I found it.
Thanks,"
--- Keith Lowry --- Texas
"
I love your website. I am a professional speaker talking on the subject
of Marketing Yourself Successfully, Inside and Out. I do keynotes and
workshops, teaching people how to connect with others to improve their
lives, both in business and personally. I use stories to illustrate my
point and I am finding some wonderful ones on your site. What can I do
to reciprocate. Mention your site? Anything else? Thanks for the
inspiration."

Thanks for your site. It is wonderful to have positive output coming
from the Web."
--- 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. "
--- Keryn, Age 19 --- Australia

You. "

us out here in cyberland. Your site continues to get better with
every week that passes."
--- Sandi Murdock --- Washington D.C.
"
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,"

I enjoy reading the poems and quotes. They have uplifted me."

courage. Thanks again."

was very easy to find, and I enjoyed reading these quotations even though
there are thousands of them. Continue posting new quotes, as I will be
looking forward to seeing them."
--- Ann Markley
"
I just want you to know that the story "One rose" on your inspirational

Your doing such a great job and you deserve a lot of credit for your

me, appreciate it! Thanks!"
--- 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
"
I love the story "What Was In Jeremy's Egg?". I was looking for

'Thank you'."
