Dottie Billington oozes passion for life. There's something very profound here . . . .This is not mindless positive thinking stuff; this is where you get into the meat of it and change
Jonny Bowden, Health and Fitness Host, eYada.com

“Dottie Billington has a way with words and with people.  People felt affirmed; her warm style made the audience comfortable enough to share their experiences.  This is no small feat when dealing with such a diverse community as the Pike Place Market.  Her friendly, positive, inspiring presentation was proof that she indeed practices what she preaches.  I want to be just like her when I grow up!”
Scott Davies, Public Information Coordinator, Pike Place Market, Seattle  

“Dottie did a great job!  We wish she could teach all our guests to do as she does, to have a dialogue with us instead of a monologue.  More fun for everyone.  And her message is so important.  We want her back again.”
Curt Crosby, co-host with Sam Bushman, Radio for the Family, KNAK, Utah

I thought Dottie, in her keynote address, had such important things to tell us. I always admire people who can be such a bright and beautiful example. 
Peggy B., Wellness House Fundraising Luncheon, Yakima

Everyone loved it. Dottie impressed and inspired all with her warm, welcoming, engaging way. We wish we had allotted more time for her to speak because people wanted to hear more from and about her. We'd love to have her come back another time and spend more time with us.
Nan Myra-Lago, Exec. Director, Wellness House, Yakima

There were many many people who commented on our rally surveys about your outstanding keynote address. Your zest and enthusiasm for living life to the fullest came through loud and clear.
Sherry Fanning, Corporate Communications, COUNTRY COACH, INC.

Your keynote address message of hope and inspiration was especially poignant in light of the September 11th tragedy.  You were able to put perspective on that event, as well as on living life fully and with gratitude. I doubt any of our attendees will forget your message that was so timely on “the day after.”
With Admiration, Cindy Sharek, Providence Marionwood
