Dear Linda D,

I absolutely love the podcast with Seigi. I am listening to it as I am writing to you. What is so timely is that I saw Seigi last Friday for the first time in a couple of years. I was so happy to see him and was impressed by how he is developing into a strong, handsome, confident young man. You did a fabulous job with him. Also, I loved your poem “My Green Thumb.” You absolutely rock!!!!!!!!

Seigi, I am so proud of you! You are an inspiration to youth! Keep up the great work.

Best wishes,

Margrette

Congratulations on Episode 4 of your podcast. Seigi is wise beyond his years. Yet there is something so honest and pure about him. You gotta love him! I am so encouraged by all that you do with so much passion and boldness. Your voices make me feel hopeful.

Wow! What a wonderful interview! Congratulations on your podcast quality. You put together a great show. I was touched to my toes by Seigi’s talent and composure. So creative, his actual proof so obvious at so young an age. I’m so proud that he is building his life on the foundation of the Treasure Tower, foreshadowing a future wave of youth who forge ahead with humanistic values, no matter what.Timothy’s music is wonderful. How precious they both are! And imagine my surprise at hearing my name and your great personal greeting come roaring out of little iPod speakers! I was shocked and so happy. It’s for certain now that we will meet in this lifetime like we promised to do in the past. Myoho sisters indeed!
Eagerly looking forward to your next one!

I was so excited to hear Seigi’s story on the pod. I have had the honor to have watched Seigi grow up and really come into his own. I always could relate to a lot of what he was going through because I had similar experiences with bullying in school. He found something to pull him up from that experience and I’m so grateful to hear it. Thank you all for that delightful podcast episode.

These have been my motto ever since!

That was so encouraging to hear- I love Seigi! It is so inspiring how much he has turned his life around. I remember sitting and talking with him and him being so hurt by his circumstances. I was bullied as well, so I could always relate to how he was feeling. I’m so glad that he found his own strength through chanting to turn his situation around- I too did the same thing. And now I can’t wait to see his first published art piece and hear his first track as a DJ! Go Seigi! Thanks guys for that inspiring piece.
