	Betsy	Just for this blog, I hope you sell a thousand more copies of your book! I'm off to look for both books, today!   Posted by Betsy on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 3:25 PM [Reply to this]

	Susan Sonnen	As soon as I can afford to...which will be after Christmas, sadly : (...I will grab hold of both books! Thanks for telling us about Mary's book.   Posted by Susan Sonnen on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 3:31 PM [Reply to this]

	♥Trish	Aww Lenny.. If I were in your neck of the woods, I would have come to your book signing! I love book signings.. But, it's great you got to meet Mary. I do believe that people come into our lives for a reason, and she walked right into yours just in time! We all tend to get lost in our own little worlds, and feel sorry for ourselves, needlessly.. until that one little thing happens to make us realize that there are others MUCH less fortunate than we are! Hey, remember this? "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it." ~ Hebrews 13:2 I think of this a LOT.. especially when I am not myself and don't really feel like being pleasant.. and it helps me to stop and rethink my actions and treat them a whole lot differently. I know I've met angels.. and I'm thankful when I do! I do believe Mary was yours (or SENT by yours!) if only in spirit and only for one day. I'd say you were very blessed yesterday! :-) I looked on Amazon.. they have Mary's book listed, but it's currently out of stock! I'll have to look for that, too.. Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday! Hugs! Trish   Posted by ♥Trish on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 3:35 PM [Reply to this]

	Redfire	Isn't that the way things go, we start feeling sorry for ourselves and then someone worse off comes into our lives and helps us see things as they truly are. Thank you for admitting the faults we all have and for pointing out the way we should be thinking!   Posted by Redfire on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 3:36 PM [Reply to this]

	Shelley Shelley Bean	Like Santa sending people to the competitors in Miracle on 34th Str...or 52nd Street,..or 1225 Mistletoe Lane. There is no Mr Scrooge about you. Good man...you brought a tear to my eyes.   Posted by Shelley on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 3:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Danny Schneider	....a great lesson, thanks for sharing your experience! Do I sense the muse might be thinking about delivering a new lyric?   Posted by Danny Schneider on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 4:27 PM [Reply to this]

	Jersey Girl Anne DeGeorge	Oh wow, what an amazing experience. I guess we all need a reminder - to be thankful for our everydays. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. May God bless you in all that you do, Amen. Anne   Posted by Jersey Girl on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 5:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Leigh	You are such an amazing person -- I knew it when I worked with you a half a lifetime ago, and again when we partnered up for Mistletoe. What a beautiful Christmas message -- for all. Merry Christmas, Vinny the Elf. And thanks. Leigh   Posted by Leigh on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 5:53 PM [Reply to this]

	Jenny Wren	Isn't that amazing. Like they say, people are in our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. This brief encounter with Mary has changed your life and inspired countless others through your blog. Christmas Blessings to you!   Posted by Jenny Wren on Sunday, December 09, 2007 - 8:14 PM [Reply to this]

	Sylvie	Lenny, you know that I appreciate immensely your warmhearted and honest being, so this wasn't a surprise to me. Yes this is just 'YOU' and your big heart. You know I'd have loved to come had it been in a reachable area for me. I'm for sure gonna check out the book, and I wish you both lots of success!   Posted by Sylvie on Saturday, December 15, 2007 - 4:21 PM [Reply to this]

	Joan	HI Lenny; 12-14-07 Those sound good Lenny. The books both are really nice ones. But it is sound that i dont have the money to buy any of those books sad. i would like love to buy those things but the time i pay for my bills and food i dont have much left. If i could ask for some help to get one of the books that would be great ok. Take care...... Merry Christmas Joan   Posted by Joan on Saturday, December 15, 2007 - 4:21 PM [Reply to this]

	~♥Laura's Hello Kitty Page♥~ Hello Kitty	Hey Lenny, I loved your blog.... Now I want to add both books to my list.... I come from a family with depression and am always amazed how strong people are who have disabilities. I love the show Little People / Big World.... Matt and Amy Roloff are amazing people and they teach me something new every time I watch their show. Thank you for sharing your story. Happy to have you back on my friends list... Hugs, Laura   Posted by ~♥Laura's Hello Kitty Page♥~ on Saturday, February 02, 2008 - 4:01 PM [Reply to this]

	Amy Amy Hammond Hagberg	Great story, Lenny! As an author, I think book signings are a drag. They are only effective if you already have a big name and the store advertises you like crazy. I've been in the same position you were sitting all alone at a table stacked high with books and pen in hand...   Posted by Amy on Thursday, February 07, 2008 - 2:57 PM [Reply to this]

	♥kelly♥	what a truly amazing person you are i will look for both copies when i go out... if i lived by you i would have come.....   Posted by ♥kelly♥ on Saturday, March 15, 2008 - 1:09 AM [Reply to this]
