Hi Marsha,
Just a note to let you know you’ve helped bring peace into our lives. We’ve only had the candles two days and we love them. I got the new one the other day.I hope you are feeling alright. You are in my prayers and thoughts.
Thank you! Lynn
I just found "The Promise Candle" on Myspace, and I just wanted to write to tell you how lovely an idea it is! Women these days need something to MAKE us appreciate life and the time we have, we just have so much on our plates that we can't back up and SEE things for what they are and should be! My mom recently survived a major heart attack, and she's recovering, thank God. This was a wake up call for me personally, and I know it was for her as well. Life's so short! I'm ordering us a couple of candles today, and I am sure my friends will as soon as they see ours. Thanks so much! Christine
Marsha,
We have been friends for most of our lives. You are such an inspiration to me. I have always valued the love and kindness you give. It comes natural for you. We should all be as brave and strong as you are. I love you dearly.
I just received my candle order and I am SO excited! I have given two of my candles from my 4 pack away, one to a dear friend and one to my mother, and they're both really intrigued by the idea- and of course in love with the scents!! My favorite is the Fresh Fig, but my mom is obsessed with her Mysteria candle.
I wanted to write to you to thank you for this candle and this IDEA. At first I didn't take it overly seriously, I thought I'd give the candles as gifts and be done with it, but I decided to keep a candle for me, and I followed the "instructions" the first day. I sat quietly for 5 minutes, before I had to leave for work, and just relaxed. The rest of the day seemed... softer somehow. I was really relaxed and I felt like it was easier to be nice to people, if that makes any sense. I sat with the candle for the rest of the week, and the calmness only increased. I actually had a coworker ask me if I had received a raise or something because I seemed happy-not smug exactly, just kind of "secretly happy".
I hope this idea takes off, someone should email Oprah and tell her about this, it seems right up her alley!

I'm a mother of three glorious children, wife of a wonderful man, and should not, on paper, have a complaint in this world! We're all healthy, the bills are paid, and I have a great group of friends, but for the past couple of years, my restlessness has morphed into some kind of general apathy. I joined, under great pressure from my husband, the local senior citizen's center's Art Alliance, and suddenly my world has opened up! My 45 minutes a week at the pottery wheel next to women nearly twice my age has totally changed my outlook. The STORIES these ladies have! I was browsing the internet, and when I typed in "inspirational stories", looking for something to share with my new senior friends, I found your site. I bought three candles, one for each of my favorite ladies, and it was like I had presented them with diamonds and jewels, they were so overjoyed. What a nice idea, and a great product. Thanks so much for putting it out there to share with the world. Carmen, Sylvia, and Marie, the recipients of the candles, have asked me to thank you as well, and wish you all the best with your own life, Marsha!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. I was just 40 years old. I had one breast removed and 8 weeks of chemo. I was not sure which would kill me first the cancer or the treatments. I am so excited so say that I am on my way to a full recovery wit the help of the Zumba class that has just started at our local YMCA I have been going for 2 months now and feel better than I have felt in 2 years. It has been a godsend to me and has saved me from going down that self pitty road. Hang in there with your recovery you will get there too. There is a light at the end of the tunnel even if it's just a flicker now. I am a survivor!
My mother's sudden death was very difficult, and then to have the two surgeries, not being able to eat or exercise, losing the teaching job I loved and being in miserable pain and I was in pretty bad shape. Lucky for me my friend/neighbor who is also a nurse recognized I was having issues and started checking in on me regularly and finally had to tell me it was time to go get some help, which I did. In addition to the help of some wonderful doctors and friends, I found other ways to find peace. I would turn off all the lights and fire up the candles and sit there and meditate and just kept telling myself that I could get though this and any other positive thoughts that I could come up with. Finally, I am feeling so much better.
When I read about your candle idea I thought it was great! The whole time I was feeling bad I thought there must be other people like me that don't have anyone to help them and if I got better I was going to make sure I helped a friend to repay my friend for all her concern. I think you are the best for turning a bad experience into something so positive! You have really hit the nail on the head with this one! Anyhing I can volunteer to help you with to make this a success please let me know!
My very dear friend that helped me has had a pancreas transplant and has never been completely well since the surgery and she is never quite sure how her health will turn out . I would love to pass one of these candles onto her.
