Your ability to articulate your experience with such grace was a revelation. My father and I were one of the ones at the side of the road, both in tears. You touched us deeply and changed my life. It must have been fantastic to have met Peter, he was a genuine soul. Thank you so much for sharing. Your ability to articulate your experience with such grace was a revelation.

I luckily caught it on radio here in Canada. I've found Somebody Somewhere, but haven't got Nobody Nowhere yet. Hopefully I can find myself again. Thanks for all your experiences.

When I heard it the first time I had just started teaching. Since then I have spent years with all kinds of kids, who are in this world in all kinds of ways, and I tried to be with them in ways that would help them love who they were and grow into everything that they could be. Part of what stayed with me on this journey was your voice and your words. I read your books and now I have discovered you again - in your blog and on your website - and your evolved self! Listening to your interview with Tony Atwood I was struck by how much you have grown. Wow! You are an inspriation. Thanks! Carol Hi Donna:

I have only heard you speak in more recent interviews. It warmed my heart that you suggested back then that your story could help others know they were not alone. As Nobody Nowhere did for me. And it's great to be reminded that we are still not alone in our unusual ways of growing and being in the world. Thanks, as always (and I must get in touch soon) Paula ;-) Hi Donna,

It had a profound impact on me. At one point I started crying, deeply moved by the cheer beauty and depth of Donna's brilliant mind and soul..... by the immense beauty of the Human mind, which she reveals in such magic ways...

I grew up listening to Peter Gzowski, so it will be wonderful to listen to your interview. He is still sadly missed. Thank you for posting that!
