Hi!  I met your former student and web designer Matthew today at a Joplin Chamber group we’re both in.  He mentioned your website and that you were a writer in the area.  Like you, I was a teacher for years - at the elementary level - and left two years ago to devote more time to my writing.  We moved enough, retirement was too far in the future.  I would love to get together, if you’d be interested. All the best with your writing!

Great site, Mom!  Who has the coolest mom ever?  Love you…

Mom,

I love the site, and your books, but I love you more!  I am proud of all that you are doing, but more proud of who you are.  I am glad the world is getting a chance to know you too.  Leanne

Just dropped by your website to read and visit. It is exceptionally well designed.  Love the desktop that looks like a writer’s desk. Nice touch! 
The only problem:  if you make a mistake and go back to try to edit it, you can’t.  You highlight the entire box and then it blanks out what you previously wrote.  This is my third rewrite of this box. Maybe it’s a sign that I should slow down and get it right the first time.  Love the chatty friendly style of your website. I feel as if you are sitting down on Aunt Lois’s couch and talking with me. what an incredibly personal experience with you as a writer. I’m so proud to be your cousin!

Greetings!
I enjoyed your website - very Jackina!  One of my favorite things about your classes was that you challenged your students to THINK and to dig deeper.  I had always enjoyed poetry, but you helped me to dig deeper and understand the meanings.  Brother Gardner did the same thing in Hermeneutics (I will always, always remember the Author’s Intended Meaning).  Thank you for inspiring me so that I in turn could inspire my students.
