I think about everyone having an Appreciations Page, which isn’t for them to engage on but for others to go on record with compliments for them. Think if nice things that have been said about you were there for you to read over when you needed a boost or to share with anyone you wanted to get closer to. And, how good it feels to compliment people. It’s a two-way win. In the interest of the world getting sweeter, where self-interest softens and mutuality becomes second nature, I think this would be a very good thing, and here’s such a page for me.

“I am so delighted in your interest. Currently I am doing whimsical artwork for local Sweet Shoppe. FUN. And leave the articulation regarding world affairs to bright beams of light like you. You were the first woman in the circle of acquaintances we had that told it like it was, and, like Michael Crighton, embraced, and continue to do so, ideas that are so advanced one has difficulty getting their minds around them. Happy New Year, ‘old’ friend.”
A Facebook message from Betty Mittleman, who so charmingly illustrated my cookbook. We were comedy writer’s wives who were in a world that revolved around our husbands, and I lost touch with her years ago. What a surprise that she had taken such notice of me!
“Your film HAS made a huge dent in the world, and the messages are all over. I hope it continues to spread and rightful credit given you for your courage, tons of hard work, generosity and leap of faith.”

“Keep on going Sue! We need you more now than ever!!!!!! You bring the sanity to a crazy world!” I believe you have influenced many people to ponder the wonders of the Universe. We are not alone in this tiny little world, and spaceship earth needs many more people who understand that we are floating around in the cosmos, and that we have much company, some of whom are watching us with interest to see if we will be able to lift the veil off this planet and help us to be part of the dance of the heavens.

Dear Suzanne,
I still laugh whenever I think of your phrase, “Biography of a Cosmic Cheerleader.” I love the way you nail it right up there at the top. Reminds me of what Vida Blue said he felt like whenever he let loose with a really fine pitch; “Let’s see what you do with this one, sucker.”
I’ll bet you I join a long list of people who are amazed and grateful for your energy, insight, dynamism. A lightening flash through the feelings/ depths of so many. Here’s my favorite line from you, “It would be a quantum leap to conceptualize ourselves as on some journey, some endeavor inside of which, all the events of our lives occur.”
We’re both pointed at the same thing–igniting a great raging forest fire of love that will sweep us forever out of this deadening sadness of egos and superficiality. It will be fun throwing ideas back and forth on all this.

It helps lighten the way.

Dear Suzanne,
Thank you so much for the incredible crystal dioptiscope! Except for the name of the thing, I’m thoroughly enchanted.
You mean a lot to me, my dear Ms. Taylor, and I look forward to many hours shared between us with baby in towe. I’m gladto bring her into a world where there are people like you. Thank you for all the many gifts, of every kind, you’ve showered on me since we met.
Much Love,
Marianne
“I just want you to know that I just finished listening and watching your first 4 videos of Sue Speaks and I am so happy you are producing them. I could feel your love coming through the screen of my iPhone and you were so wonderful that I could feel your warmth enveloping me. It felt to me like you were indeed in my home across from me talking only to me. I so look forward to your future talks so please keep them coming. This is the type of conversation I have wanted to have all my life and now we have a format to explore and perhaps embrace some of these ideas. That is thanks to this technology that brings so much of value into our living rooms. I hope you remember our conversations and wonderful times listening and viewing DVDs of our favorite male entertainer, Our Dear Leonard Cohen who I hope has found the peace on the other side that he had trouble finding on the earthly plane.”
Bette McLaughlin, a friend.
“I mean to write to you days ago but got so swamped … that I’m just now writing to tell you that I got sucked into your new videos and work and wanted you to know that I just LOVE LOVE LOVE what you are doing and saying. I mean, it’s beautiful as you are! I always love you but your new stuff is so heartfelt and brilliant, and so important in this critical time…I just wanted you to know!”

“What a marvelous evening we all had last Friday at your informative and energetic presentation. Your audience was glued and you are just the kind of speaker we enjoy having with us.”
Tucson IONS after showing my movie, What On Earth?
Dearest Suzanne,
Thank you so much for working with us in the acquisition of What On Earth? and taking the time to come and visit CPT12! You are fabulous to work with. No one has made it so easy in helping with the direction of content for the pledge breaks and the outreach and promotion! Plus you are terrific on-air. Scoring interviews on both the David Sirota Show and 9News is unprecedented. And – we had a great pledge night!
You brought something special to the Colorado Community. The crew and station – and viewers – were energized and excited and it’s great to present something important that moves people to think and discuss.
Sincere thanks for the work you do and I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to meet you and work with you! You and your films are inspiring.

Suzanne
Since this troubled world began
no hostess has out-classed Suzanne.
Lavishly she treats her guests,
anticipates all their requests,
makes them welcome, one and all,
helps them lift the dreary pall
darkening the holidays–
Thus she earns our grateful praise.
Joy and friendship–lots to spare–
Hostesses like Sue are rare.

Mind blowing information and beautifully produced and your comments are spot on. This film took my petty thought processes to another level and I still marvel at it. Thanks Sue, for taking part in this film and helping me to connect more of the dots. We are truly part of a greater awareness. Namaste

Dear Suzanne,
These DELIGHTS are precisely that. Thank you so much. I love the diversity of your choices, and the videos that I would never see if not for your gift of selection/curating a series that during the period I am indoors takes me traveling, always with astonishment and awe–to places and emotions that are uplifting, sometimes very funny and inspiring, and always thoughtful and original. I also love the podcast interviews. This is a gift and I have been recommending it to friends for a spark in the dark–so to speak. It’s a traveling salon-theater. Bravo.

To the chase: Suzanne Taylor! She was a talented character actor of conspicuous credit in the sixties, even stealing scenes from the likes of Mary Tyler Moore and Bill Bixby. She out-cuted Billy Mumy once… That’s tough from ANY wheelhouse!
She is, et sig al, a Summa Cum Laude graduate of New York University and a tireless natural student of an obvious “para-existential.” That’s right, folks, it’s living and breathing.
More to the point and the exploration of this essay, she is a producer of compelling film documentaries of significant note regarding these subjects. Finally, a mature and intelligently considered woman, rather seeing the handwriting on the wall, is an explorer of human consciousness and the expansion, elevation, and enlargement of same. My hat is decidedly off.
