Hi, Judy –

We have neither met nor corresponded before. However, and by way of context, I recently ran across the following sentence on your website: “If my words and music can bring any level of comfort to another person, then I have achieved more in my lifetime than I ever dreamed of.”  When I read that, I felt I should try to give you some idea of the impact that “Beside Me Always” has had on me.

In the past few years I’ve been meditating with podcasts of guided meditations led by a Buddhist teacher.

But when I discovered “Beside Me Always,” everything changed dramatically. Just about every time, the composition moved me to a sense of intense connection with those individuals (many of whom are no longer alive) and with that living flow.  Thanks to that composition, those individuals and those experiences truly are, and will remain, beside me always.

All that is a great, great gift.  It’s no exaggeration to say that “Beside Me Always” has had a huge impact on my life. To drive off your above-quoted words, you have have brought a great level of comfort to me, one that my words cannot adequately describe.  You have given me a gift that is more than I ever dreamed of . . . and I’m very grateful.

With sincere appreciation,

Bob

“Judy, I remember the change in your whole being when you stopped playing someone else’s music and started playing your own. I felt it run through my body and touch my heart and soul.”

I could always count on Sandra to find the essence of my story and impart loving words back to me. Her words always caused me to grin and warmed my soul. From her, I learned how important it was to write caring comments to others – it was a human connection that could truly make a difference. My blog story about meeting her a few months before she died is named “I Feel Your Love.”
