I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, had having only your books for reference and really wanting all the answers to those endless questions, I can't help but want to ask you why you left as you did. I suspect it was because it came time for someone else to take your place, your mission having been achieved in its own way, and as far as you could humanly take it. Still, I really wish I would have posted that letter I had written to you when I first read Star Signs, instead of leaving it in its envelope on my side cupboard for so long, a reminder each time I walked past it to just drop it in the post the next time. Now you won't ever receive it. When I found out you died I just tore it up into little pieces and cast it off, with a heavy heart of course. But really - I wanted to tell you how much it all meant to me and just how everything you wrote had turned my life and my thoughts around. However, I was too selfish and supposed it was all very easy and that you would always be there for when I did eventually get around to sending that letter. Of course, it was far too late by then because you had already gone. So, I shall close by saying that I shall think of you always for your wisdom and your humour, and for a friendship of hearts as an avid reader of your books. You knew me quite well, as you said that you did. And I knew too.

Best wishes from Julia

Thank you for opening my mind and my heart. I was getting there bit by bit - but when Cathi gave me Star Signs for my birthday all those years ago - you opened a flood gate.

I'm still so thick and dense in these matters - I don't "get" so much. But, you'd be proud of me. I'm keeping at it and keeping at it - I'm growing by leaps and bounds (well, steps and hops, anyway).

It is a good thing that you can read my heart, since I cannot express in words how much I need you. You left hints - but I need to be taken by the hand and shown. My physical brain works very well, I have no problems thinking and understanding - but, my spirit and soul is not much of a talker. I need you to help me help it to stop being such a wallflower and let me in on the secrets.

Lastly, Linda LOve, thank you for leading me to the TRUEest of TRUE KNowflakes. These people are very special. Loving, giving, and accepting, wise, witty, and wonderful - and I KNow I wouldn't have found them without you.

You've given me so much - I want to return the favor by learning as much as I can about as much as I can. So that someday you can point to me and proudly say, "see that one there? she's my student.

Why did you leave us? I guess you figured we were ready to grow on our own, but sometimes the pain of losing you is just too much to bear. Thank you for all you taught us, and I wish for you happiness and the Peace that so often eluded you during much of your journey on this Earth. We Love you. Always.

Thank you for being an inspiration to us all.
You were never afraid to be different, because you knew you were yourself, all along.

Thank you for entering my life. I have never met you, but I know you are close by, and Mary is going away, now. I don't know why she's leaving. Perhaps because I no longer pity her.

I still suffer a lot, and alone. But I am doing my best to overcome my fears and intimidations, though sometimes it seems too much to bear. Who sent me the dragon? The lilac one? Please, take care of it, and let the image of its beauty remain fresh in my mind.

Is Kipling there with you? I hope he knows I admire him. He wrote/writes with such beauty, and he had such a painful life. I don't know how he survived his.
I know Kip has his faults, but everyone, deep down, no matter what they're doing, their first impulse is to do what's right.

Please help me deal with my ordeals from day to day. Please help me learn to forgive more, expect less, and smile more often.
Please help me learn to have faith in myself, so that I can say: "Succeed", and I'll know deep in my heart, that's all I can do.

With lots of love, Lisa.

I remember when I first discovered you, through Sun Signs, and you told me about my first baby, my totally splendid little Aquarian daughter! I was so excited she had come to stay with me, my little Kelly Bean.

Life went on for a long time after that, and I forgot about you. Then came a time, years later, when I was in such dreadful confusion, and pain. I was lost in the dark. One day, my beautiful, now grown up Kelly, brought home a book and laid it on a table. She intended to read it sometime, but she was busy, so it sat there and called to me. Star Signs. I picked it up and started reading the preface. When I got to the words "Expect a Miracle" it happened. My very own miracle! An authentic, magical, energy-hitting-me-like-a-wave-almost knocking-me-over, life changing miracle! I can't explain it, but I'll never forget it, that May 16, 1991. I picked up a pen and wrote in my journal, "This is the beginning of a wonderful journey." It was, and it is!

I read more and more, including Gooberz, which helped to heal me in so many ways.

I went to Cripple Creek, you know. I had to see the places where so many of YOUR miracles happened. I was so excited! I drove around a while and finally stopped at the museum and wandered around. There was a very nice woman there and I asked her if she knew you. She said, "Oh yes, she died you know." It was spring of 1996. I didn't know. I can't tell you how it felt, there are no words. I got in my car and drove and drove. Clear to Cheyenne, Wyoming where I checked into a motel and laid on the bed and cried. I didn't really know you, not in person, but I grieved for you. Because of all the books I've ever read, and all the experiences I've ever had, you were the one who touched my Spirit and helped me most. One of my greatest teachers, if not THE greatest. There's no way to thank you for that, except to live it and pass it on.

I just wanted you to know. Somehow I think you do.

With Love and Gratitude,

Mirror

You know how I feel, so I'm not even going to begin to write...I'll have a book by the time I'm done.

Speaking of which, could you please give me an Aries hoof-kick so that I work a little faster to get my books together?! Much appreciated

Love,
Liz

I know you never felt like you were understood on this plane. You often felt alone and as if your readers seldom comprehended your words. I know you didn't always feel our Love for you. But if you are on the other side now, then I know you can feel the Love of the many people whose Lives you have changed. You gave us Hope, Linda. Your words changed us. You taught us to listen to our S-elves and to look within for answers. And today, on December 8th, during Mary's Hour of Grace, I know that our prayers went up to you like millions of musical notes. I know you are happy to see us find out about your special day and honor it.

I love you,

Randall
