  • Kathy Stayton (Philadelphia, PA) "Dotti..By the way, at our Central Baptist Church women's retreat (29 of us from 30-80 years old), we were to light a candle naming a woman who inspired us or were models in some way for us.  I chose you because you opened doors of liberation and diversity for yourself, and in the  process you guided lots of other people through the doors as well."

  • Suzanne (Washington)  "I am in awe of what you two are about to endeavour.  It is unprecendented what you are about to undertake, and so much like you both.  How exciting as well as giving. Simply, I'm in awe."

  • Wendy Rourke (Washington)  "I just finished reading about your upcoming journey.  I know that only great experiences can come from your adventure, and am so excited for you both. I honor the courage you both have to share who you are with the world.  Not only with those who love and accept who you are, but especially those who are living in a fearful place.  Go spread love and acceptance.  Help to shift the fear to love and smile when the flowers bloom!"
  • Peggy Parker (Washington) I think of Roby and Dotti like major fireflies, lighting up people's awareness, understanding, and imagination. Two normal people with the gift of illumination. Safe travels!

  • Christopher J Blessings on you, Dotti, Roby and Rylee Joy! I found your site through Lars Clausen's site. I worked with/for Lars way back when I was a college student working as a "student associate" at my campus church. From day one, Lars has awed and inspired me, and my wife and I hold him and his family in the highest regard. And, of course, any contemporaries of his are winners in my book! I'm excited to see that there are others doing such important work on such a large scale. Today and always: May you be filled with loving kindness. May you be well. May you be peaceful and at ease. May you be happy.
