"Your opening regarding Dr. Sun Yat Sen reminded me that in another life I was able to spend time at his birth place visiting  their local Jr. High school.  Thanks for the trip down memory lane.  Build a fine weekend."

~Bill Murphy, UPS

"Many thanks for the wonderful Christmas greeting/surprise, Alice!
Happy Holiday season to you, Dear!
I'm intrigued that you've been "cocooning" and look forward to your metamorphosis.
Thank you for the gingerbread men!  I certainly appreciate your brand of humor!  I chuckled aloud when I saw that!  Then I studied them!
That's a great message about being generous with love.  I am trying.  This year has been quite challenging for me in that department and I just trying to hang on to a bit of sanity."

~Wandi, S

"Wow!  The Stanley Jone story is powerful, awesome and sounds amazingly like mine.  I experienced growing up Black in America and it has forever coloured my world.  The great news is I survived and the bad news is so many other did not and are now either victims of self-loathing or dead.  Thank you for passing this story to me and making my day."

“Back in 2006, I had just graduated from University and landed a job in the recycling industry as a business development manager. My CEO asked me to join certain networking groups and attend events where I could promote our business. One of the groups I found online was the Social Butterfly Club. I joined the mailing list and started to receive the newsletter. I soon realized that this job wasn’t for me but I really didn’t know what I wanted to do. In a leap of faith, I contacted Alice and reached out to her for help. At that time there were approximately 2500 people in her distribution list and I asked if she knew anyone looking for someone. Out of her good will, she responded and put me in touch with a business contact that was looking for someone to help them in their online marketing business. I started working with an online lead generation company and gained experience in a field I rather enjoyed. That experience landed me a job as a Project Manager in a leading Digital marketing company here in the lower mainland and I finally found a career that I enjoy. I am extremely grateful that she took the time to put me in touch with such great people that help launch my career. Thank you Alice!”
~Arif Ali

 ~Andrew Annuar

"Dear Alice! We've only met briefly, once or twice, but I do enjoy your letters and the energy that flows from them.  But this April's monthly newsletter is the best yet: a WONDERFUL, thoughtful, honest, introspective essay. Much beyond just a newsletter. You have a real talent for writing and for ideas, not just for hard work. My prescription: work hard , but work  smart.

Best wishes, Alice, for love and life"

"Hi Alice,
It was a pleasure to meet you again at the David Suzuki Foundation event this morning.  We last met two or three years ago at a networking event, and surprise, surprise, you put me on your mailing list (barry@ barrysharp.com).
 
Your Social Butterfly newsletter is the only one I actually read all the way through.  I'm a generation or two removed from you, however I really enjoy…and appreciate…your take on life.  My business helps companies succeed and I wish I could take one tiny piece of credit for your success, however it's your attitude that determines your altitude, and you've got it spades.  Go, girl."
 
Cheers……….Barry
