On behalf of USC Center for Work and Family Life, I would like to thank you for providing us with two exceptional presentations in May, 2007 on how to shift from your current life to create your ideal life. The topic was presented in a clear, cohesive manner, and the USC staff and faculty attending found the exercises and information engaging and very valuable. Your graciousness in answering individual questions was very much appreciated by all and the feedback from the evaluations was excellent.

It was a great pleasure to meet you. You have a lovely manner about you, real and sincere, and it comes across as very caring. Your list of “Steps to Leading a Satisfying Life” is amazingly comprehensive… It is both practical and spiritual and really says it all. I know that my life and those of my ladies have been changed in a very positive way from meeting you and hearing your heartfelt presentation. Plus, you are just good company and fun to have around! I really appreciate your generosity in taking your valuable time to enhance our lives. I’ll look forward to the pleasure of your company again!

Not only was it wonderful to reconnect after so many years, but I wanted to thank you fo rsuggesting the theme for this year’s Yom Hashoah Commemoration at Temple Israel and leading the discussion. The presentations of everyon truly enhanced the evening and offered all of us greater insight not only into what it meant for you and the others to be raised by survivors, but also to gain insight into the life of surviviors as they sought to renew their lives after the war…. Again, Darlene, thank you so much for being such an integral part of the evening.

You were a hit! Thanks so much for being a featured speaker for the panel discussion entitled “Generation to Generation to Generation: the Spirit of Survival” that I organized for Congregation EmanuEl in San Francisco on May 3, 2000. Your appearance on the panel not only drew attendance, but significantly contributed to the success of the event…. Your dynamic, intelligent and articulate style both engaged the audience and promoted a sense of inclusion. Although dealing with a sensitive issue, you infused a sense of positive energy and faith in your message….Thanks so much for sharing yourself and your ideas for this important event.
