[RE: Episode 9: Marlene Walker-The Curiosity Factor]
Your show ignites my imagination, my passion, my creativity (I remember that you said that to do what I do involves creativity and I have thought about that this week), and last but not least my appreciation for having a great support system of friends. Your show is excellent. I look forward to listening to more segments.

Your interview programs with such a varied group of guests must be a most time consuming and difficult task even for someone as creative as you are.. I can only imagine the preparation this must take. Your openness and sensitivity are surely what brings these people to respond to you.

Hi, Darling Nellie,
…It's your creative initiative that gave rise to this opportunity for so many artists to speak about their work and hopes. Congratulations are due to you.
I was interviewed by telephone this past Sunday on my involvement with the TV series "The Starlost" by a filmmaker who is writing the liner notes for the Blue Ray DVD release of the series. He commented on hearing my interview with you and was extremely complimentary to both of us...

Nellie,
Do you think that it is possible that all of your guests who have been bringing to you all of these life lessons are really being channelled through you just to so that I can get the messages? Whatever it is, it has been an enormous gift for me and I thank you.

I spill my guts on this interview.
Nellie Jacobs does a radio show Igniting Imagination on Blog Talk Radio. She interviews creative types and digs out their thought process. Very, very in depth. If you need some inspiration today, take the time to listen to this one hour show. Plus, she plays a couple segments of songs that I’ve written in the past (fun).

Hi Nellie:
I want to thank you for all time, effort and love you put into preparing for my interview with you on BlogTalk radio. I really enjoyed the time talking about myself. Who says I'm modest?
Nellie, you have such a creative mind which is always in motion. Always exploring, always inventive...you are a true inspiration to me.
Thank you again for inviting me to be a part of your show. I wish you great success.

[RE: Episode 13: Sandy Offenheim-My Life as a Song, Book or Game & Episode 12: Marla Lukofsky-Re-inventing Yourself]
Hi Nellie
Thanks for sending me the connection to your new internet show.* Congratulations! You’re doing amazing things! You’re so multi-talented and always on the cutting edge of new technologies! I really enjoyed today’s interview. So much of what Sandy said, specially the 10 points of advice, resonated with my way of looking at things.** As she was speaking, I got an idea for a new story and had to write it down quickly, right after the show, to catch it before it disappears. Talk about “igniting the imagination”!
…I read your excellent introductory statement about your goals and how you prepare your programs. I’m very impressed.
I listened to the Marla Lukofsky interview. I’m always fascinated with people’s beginnings - to hear what kind of family life, schooling and communities produce creative people. The other thing that always interests me is how these creative people find (or don’t find) a place for themselves in the big wide world. ***

[Re: Episode 11-Moira Sutton: Live Your Passion]
I have taken my break from studying to listen to your blogtalkradio show with Moira Sutton. She has triggered in me so many reactions. I too have a background and love dance. …as I face my own challenges, Moira's affirmative statement that when "the chips are down, new doors will open," …so inspired and intrigued [me]. Thanks for the wonderful choice in guest.
Karen
One of the things I enjoyed about Moira's interview is discovering someone else who has so many interests. I think one of the challenges, especially for creative people, is figuring out how to channel all their many interests and passions into a career. If all you are interested in is weaving, then you channel your energies into that, but if you are a weaver, a writer, a shamanic dream worked, a tarot reader....shall I go on?
Sounds like Moira has found a way to weave together all the threads of her life into a beautiful tapestry.
Bright dreams,

Any way we can spread the happy-demic and share the idea that laughter can be a CHOICE and a GIFT and a way to actively improve your own health, I shout "Very good, Very Good, YEAH!" Kudos to a show well hosted.

Mining Your Creativity
I really liked the title, the metaphor of mining illuminated for me how we sometimes have to dig deep and work hard to find pure gold, precious gems or fuel for firing our imagination.
The presentation also afforded lots of opportunity for sparking and stimulating thought processes. Too often we work with our left brain and are expected to be logical when it's so much more fun to go with the flow of what we are feeling or intuiting in the moment, our gut instincts and our dreams....
Thanks Nellie

Nellie:
I want to thank you on behalf of the members of the York Mills Study group for a most interesting and informative afternoon. After hearing your bio, I felt you must be a Jack of all Trades and now after your presentation I know you're a master of all. I am now going home to excavate, get rid of a lot of baggage, dye my hair black, part it in the middle, and try to be as creative as Hedy Lamarr.
I think we're all miners (seniors) in one way or another and want to thank you for the opportunity of looking through miner goggles.
It’s been a pleasure meeting you and hope to see you again in the near future.

Hi Nellie,
Participating in your workshop "Mining Your Creativity" was certainly a highlight for me aboard the Constellation. Never did I dream that amidst our hedonistic ocean journey, where the only mental gymnastic was what was I going to eat, that I would have an opportunity to learn so much in such a stimulating yet succinct presentation. It provoked a lot of self reflection for me as a person and as a professional. It graphically orchestrated some of my thoughts and helped me to reorient some of my ideas that desperately needed to be fine-tuned.
You have a way of presenting your workshop that is so universally understood yet one can extrapolate what we needed to make it our own. Although you were addressing a diverse group, you made each of us feel so welcomed and important.
I want to thank you for this opportunity. I will highly recommend you to my colleagues in Education back home in Montreal. Kudos to you!

Dear Nellie,
Thank you for your thoroughly engaging, interesting and creative presentation this morning. I know that my students thoroughly enjoyed it and so did I. As I already told you, I love your metaphor of "mining’ your creativity and the complex yet delightful way in which you have unpacked that for your audience.
You have a beautiful, easygoing style when presenting. Your direct and honest manner invites your attendees to participate openly and honestly themselves. You have great energy and great rapport.
Your presentation was a valuable contribution to my students’ education and I truly appreciate the time and effort you took in both its preparation and delivery.
Lots of love and light,
Sondra Ezrin

Take the Leap Now
“Nellie’s …workshop … takes consciousness-raising to the next level, through her beautifully and artfully facilitated workshop that gives women the privilege to open up their minds and hearts about what they want to accomplish in the next phase of their lives. Nellie is a positive force of energy and passion who creates an atmosphere of openness and candour within minutes. I was astounded by the workshop - thrown over the top."
Sandy Naiman, journalist
"I have known Nellie for a long time and have always admired her ambition and capabilities. Her ability to socialize and network has been an example to aspire to. The chick really knows what she is doing and I am so impressed with the way she has put it all together to help others."
Jean Rodak, Artist
"Nellie, your artistic, creative, and many other endless talents are so impressive; what is most impressive, however, is how you do focus, and are so productive with all you have. It's been inspiring just to meet you."
