I live in Mitchell, Indiana, which is approx. 30 miles south of Bloomington. The late astronaut, Virgil 'Gus' Grissom was born and reared here in Mitchell. We are also known as the Persimmon Capital of the World.
Glad to meet a new friend.

Charlotte, Thank you for the invitaion. Your page has a nice cool feel to it.

I would love to come to Istanbul to speak, but I would need my expenses covered. I think Istanbul is a beautiful city. Your work sounds wonderful. Would love to see your bookstore.

Hi Charlotte! What wonderfully interesting work you do. I'm originally from Ft. Worth, TX, but have lived in WA state for the past 17 years, where I do editorial and publishing work with first-time authors of uplifting books (See www. CeciBooks.com "Book Credits" page to get a look at some of our recent publishing projects). My most recent book is described (and excerpted) on www.SacredVisitations.com, where I have a podcast on "Ceci's Journal". Best of everything to you! Ceci

Yuhoooooo! Charlotteeeee! Honey, I'm homeeeee. Thanks for the invite!

Hi Charlotte,
Thanks for your compliments on my work. I'm getting ready to launch my new website either today or tomorrow. More poets, more photos! I got a chance to read your article at the e-gazette. Very nice! How fascinating, the Cow Parade and owning a bookstore in Istanbul. It must be quite exciting living in Turkey!

Hi Charlotte,
What you've said about being Misunderstood applies worldwide as well as across the United States. Keep up the good work.

Charlotte,
My heart goes out to you, as you had to deal with the depression from day to day. We were totally thrown off guard with our daughter, as all of the doctor's said that she threatened suicide for attention, so we didn't take her as seriously as we should have. For this we will feel so much guilt for the rest of our lives.
My next book suggests things that I should have seen coming, but wasn't paying attention, I honestly never
saw it coming. You are right about not knowing what is in a suicidal persons mind. I do know that they are not thinking rationally. Thanks for sharing with me, I still think that my daughter is coming home, because if I didn't, I would have to admit to myself that she is dead, and that thought still gives me an enormous rush.
Donna

Thanks for inviting me, Charlotte. I also am originally from Texas and have lived in Japan and China. My husband was in Turkey years ago and found it a fascinating place.
Anita

Charlotte. Thanks for inviting me as a friend. Looks like you have lived an amazing life to this point and have plenty more great days ahead of you. Thanks also for your kind words and encouragement. God Bless.

Hi Charlotte,

Thanks so much for the invite into your group. I look forward to reading your work.

I love Turkey and have been there many times. I remember villages with no evidence of motor vehicles. Christians here think Abraham is from Ur in southern Iraq. He is really from Urfa, Turkey. I could spend a year there exploring.

Sure nice to see familiar faces and having support so close to home. I enjoy coming to the Greenhouse. Thank you!

Hi Charlotte, Thanks again for taking a look at my ezine. If I can help you to do one yourself, just let me know. I'm *very* impressed with your translation work and that you actually live in Istanbul. That sounds so exotic!
Blessings,
Linore

Dear Charlotte!

Thank you for inviting me to your network and to Turkey! In fact I have an arts project going on that involves middle-east. Maybe we could communicate via email? Mine is cristina.andersson@develor.fi

Blessings
Cristina

Thank you so much for the invitation, Charlotte. I look forward to getting to know you.
Shirley

Thanks Charlotte for the invite! I don't know how all these people suddenly appear and invite us newbies but it's great!
I had a quick look at your site of course and I would love an opportunity to have my book in your store in Turkey--any chance? Are you very specific about your books? If you want to take a look, I would be honoured. My dream/goal is to have Circles in the Sand reach as many women--particularly in the Middle East--as possible. Having been in Turkey and seen similar oppression of Muslim women and well, women in general far too often, I would love it if you felt Circles in the Sand may touch the life and heart and soul of even one woman in Turkey.
Thanks for the opportunity! I must say, the music on your web site is certainly inspiring to write to!! I feel like I have my own little orchestra playing whilst I write!!
Cheers for that! Great idea....

Oh no, I think it's Loreena now...great way to keep us addicted to your site! Now, who's going to do my "to do" list today???

Thanks for visiting my website! And God Bless YOU for your work in taking His word to Turkey via your bookstore! I have read some of your articles and it looks like you are very involved in the culture and government there. And I can tell you are very busy working on marketing and finding new ways to do things. Keep it up! BTW-I have joined Amazon.com in their program for authors and I think it is GREAT - really neat that readers can go to Amazon and while they are searching for books, see what the authors are all about, also--very personal!

Hi Charlotte,
Thanks for the invite! Great music. A woman after my own heart :-) Wow! What an interesting life you've had. I look forward to getting to know you better.
Many blessings,
Bren

Hello Charlotte, My dogs are my babies!! :) I will check out your column!! Turkey, huh? Wow! What's that like? I look forward to getting to know you as well. God Bless Sydney!!

Hi Charlotte,
Thanks for the heads up about my site link. I recently changed it and my mind hasn't quite caught up yet. LOL

I will certainly stop back by and read more on your page when time permits. Thanks again, and I hope you have a beautiful day.
Many blessings,
Bren

Thanks for inviting me to be your friend. Look forward to getting acquainted.

Val

Thank you Val. I have lived in the Middle East 30 years and have my DMin and Ord. I write as a columnist four times a week for an English paper in Turkey. If you are interested in how foreigners live here during the one month fast-Ramadan -read my column. http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/yazarAd.do?kn=68

I visited your webpage and noticed all the ads but don't know how to solve it.

I don't know what ads you are referring to. And I am also curious about what it is you are trying to solve.

Charlotte, of course I'd love to be your pal. Wow! What involvement you have in the publishing industry. I'm impressed! (-:
Very best,

Thanks, Charlotte.
I see what you were talking about. I guess I was confused because I don't consider that my webpage--but my book marketing page. My web site is http://newviewoldtestament.com. Take a look there.

Incidentally, I have complained to Google, but they do not even bother to respond.

Regards,

Val

The words "bored" and "boring," which I hear so many people use is not even in my vocabulary. Ooops! I just used them didn't I? LoL. At any rate, it seems that you have quite and interesting life in Istanbul and those two words don't appear in your world either. I lived across the sea in Iraklion, Crete for several years a while back. I like the people and cultures in that part of the world--the mediteranean in general. I write mystery/suspense/thrillers. The second half of my first two books take place in Spain. Current book is set where I live in the Outer Banks and Albemarle Sound areas of northeaster North Carolina.

Thanks for inviting me as your friend on this site.

Your article on Ramadan was interesting and informative. Wish I would have gotten to Istanbul during my travels. I'm sure there is a lot there to take and in learn about.

Thank you for the invite. You have some very interesting notations in your blog.

Thanks for the quick reply. Did you know that a lot of Aussies come to visit Gelibolu where your fought near Cannakkale. I write as a columnist for an English newspaper. in Turkey. If you have time and want to read a couple of short articles about Turkey and the situation here now e.g. Women in the Middle East by Marion (Book review with great insights on Turkey and its identity.Just copy and paste and click) Lİnk follows:

Thanks for the invite. I travel so often, it's difficult for me to be here but you sound so interesting!

Thank you so much i appreciate the support

Hi Charlotte!

Thank you so much for the friend request! I look forward to getting to know you via this great networking system! Please have a great day!

Thanks for adding me as your friend. I really can relate to what you said about "typos" Sometimes I type a word but another word is approved by the computer which is not what I intended. Thank the Lord or proff readers. Have a blessed day.

I send you greetings of peace and love from the rest of the family. They, like I, are always with you and never leave or forsake you. The angels and the rest of us want you to know how precious you are to us.

When I agreed to give up my divinity and be born in the flesh, I did so very willingly. I looked forward to the time when we, you and us, could all be together and share in everything that is. I looked forward to loving you, hugging you, comforting you and encouraging you so that, when your life gets tough, you will feel secure and supported enough to face whatever you have to face. I looked forward to being the one you could rely upon unconditionally for that strength, comfort and encouragement whenever and however you need it.

Not only that, I looked forward to sharing with you that we created you to love you, and that we so hoped and desired that you would love us back. We want you in our life, and we love it when you want us in yours. It was so exciting when I could turn to my disciples and expand our relationship to include friendship and true fellowship. I offer that friendship and fellowship to you today as well, and I look forward to your inviting me into your life in that way.

You can see there are many reasons why I came in the flesh so many years ago. There’s more! I also wanted to set you free from thoughts and behaviors that hurt you emotionally and spiritually. If you were hurt by people or experienced hard times in your life and lost things like your health, relationships, or your way of life because of disaster or unemployment, I wanted to give you the tips and tools as well as the encouragement to recover emotionally and spiritually from who or what hurt you so you could have the kind of life I want you to enjoy.

Most of you understand why I sacrificed my life for you and what an act of love that was. It is my hope that this letter will help you understand how very much more my life and ministry were to accomplish. I look forward to expanding our relationship now and forever.

Joyfully, Jesus

I love what you've done to your bookmarketing site. The music, the books and pictures of your staff is all inviting. Maybe you should also link to some of the things I've written about the importance and user-friendliness of the Greenhouse. Lots of people contact me about wisdom on moving to Turkey. I always recomment your book store. I wish it was here!

Fun and awe inspiring. Or should I say shocking? When 98 out of 100 of us divorced broads say we will not remarry; well, the writing seems to be on the wall. Still, the book is a laugh and a cry a minute. LOVE your music. You must tell me how you did that, Missy.
