“As usual, our loving Father has perfect timing. That [last] issue was PERRRFECT timing for me and the circumstances of my life right now. I was either laughing or sobbing almost through the entire issue: I thank you and thanks to all the women who contribute to this gem. Thank you all for saying yes to the spirit of Christ to work through you for all of us who need to hear it or read it ‘just so’.”- Marilyn, CA
“Interestingly, I’m not Catholic, and I’m not a mother (yet!) but I still really enjoy reading most of it and find it beautiful and inspiring that you women make this happen…” -Amanda, CA
“Thank you, thank you for putting all the work into Soul Gardening. I received it a few days ago and absolutely love it. The look is of simple elegance with lovely reflections and art…” -Naomi, Slovakia
“I’m a 27 year old mother of one 10 month old baby. He’s a terrible sleeper. He had a particularly difficult time going down for a nap this morning which left me edgy and frustrated and sending desperate texts to my husband at work. Once the baby was asleep I decided to treat myself out of my bad mood. So I sat down with some tea, some cookies, and my newest Soul Gardening. I read Sia’s editorial and started crying. Thank you for this ministry. Thank you for how it calls me out of selfish pettiness and helps me embrace a blessed littleness. I know it’s probably one more thing that stresses you four out with your busy lives, but it’s a good thing that you do.”-Kate, CA
“Today I received your mailing of the Autumn 2011 issue. I am so impressed. It was obviously a labour of love. Thank you for the inspiration I have found… “-Nicole, Canada
“This journal is such an important blessing to myself and some of the women I know; we have found ourselves discussing some of the points made in our mother’s group. Thank you so much!” -Kathy, WA
“Soul Gardening did indeed offer a blessed respite from the digital info-overload that is threatening us – even here! -on all sides. Keep up your beautiful work!” -Rebecca, OH
“I just received Soul Gardening and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The first article I read was Martha and Mary and it put my heart at rest. I felt like I was about to explode from all the housework and chores. The never-ending task of cleaning a house with small children is something that I never thought would be so frustrating but alas it is harder than I had imagined. So for the afternoon, I am pushing my chores aside and reading Soul Gardening so that I can remember what it is I’m trying to accomplish-raising holy children.” -Lizz, OH
“Your Soul Gardening quarterly is beautiful, inspired and truly a God-send. Reading through it is like reading a great novel; when you get to the end, you yearn for it to go on and on. Thank you all for “bringing your talents into the light.” Keep up the wonderful work! May the Holy Family continue to bless your work as we all continue to emulate them in our domestic monastic lives!” -Ann, OR
“Thank you so much for sharing “Soul Gardening” with me. I opened it and read it all. Cover to cover… and kept thinking, ’these women are kindred spirits’. Beautiful, life-giving ministry, here… Thank you and God bless you abundantly! -Kelly
“I really enjoyed the first Soul Gardening. I am looking forward to many more!!” -Kristin, WA
“So glad to have received my 1st issue of Soul Gardening. I am truly enjoying the articles. Even as the children get older, time can be limited to small amounts of reading time. I’m not nursing babies, but involved in High School activities, home-schooling 2 of our children, sporting events, gardening and providing nutritious homemade meals! I spend lots of time in the car so this journal is something I can pack or stash in my purse. Keep up the good work!” -Mary, OH
